Jim Putman is back from his summer break, and he is talking today with Lance Wigton about some of the things he learned in his time away. Their discussion includes the topic of how a disciple of Jesus should respond to the crises and situations that have arisen around us during this season. How do you view our country (America) and what role do you believe it plays in God's plan for believers? What part does patriotism play in your life, and how much do you depend on your dream and vision for what America should look like?

This is an important discussion that comes at a time when America's leaders are making decisions and choices that could make us lose trust in "The American Dream." Jim Putman is asking: "Could that be precisely what God is asking us to do?

The year 2020 has been a rollercoaster ride for most of us across America. From the Covid19 pandemic, to nationwide rioting in the streets, to UFO sightings and Killer Hornets, there have been many situations this year that have the potential to cause us to experience an emotional reaction or two.

Jim Putman and Lance Wigton are back again to discuss how we, as disciples of Jesus, ought to be responding to the events going on around us, and how our response might effect others.

 

Some of the things they cover in this episode are:

* How are we filtering the things we listen to?

* How easily are our belief systems being challenged by the voices of the world?

* Are there people out there with an agenda that are promoting divisiveness or fear? If so how are we responding to that?

* Is it right for us to protest against something that is wrong?

* Take a step back and ask yourself, what would Jesus say is right here? How would he have me act?

Spiritual Maturity is the destination of the road we travel as disciples of Jesus, and a person growing in spiritual maturity needs to develop the ability to control his emotions. Jesus' method of Relational Discipleship is hinged on our ability to make and maintain relationships. When we allow ourselves to be controlled and steered by our emotions, it is inviting opportunities for our relationships to be strained and offences to build.

Real Life Ministries is currently in a sermon series titled "You're Not The Boss Of Me - Learning to say no to the emotions that control you." I kicked it off with the first sermon - Undercover Boss - last weekend. I never seem to have the time to unwrap all the things I want to say during the time allotted for the sermon. Because this is such an important topic, I decided to dig into it deeper on our Real Life Discipleship Podcast.

Bill Hull, host of The Bonhoeffer Show Podcast, interviews Jim Putman about his story - and how a National championship wrestler who had turned his back on God, became a world wide disciple making leader-

"The Bonhoeffer Show is a no holds barred interaction around religion, culture and politics. The shows purpose is to call every listener to follow Jesus and learn from him how to live their lives. Bill confronts the listener not with a sanitized Christianity separated from the reality of everyday life. He wades into the dangerous waters of religion, culture, and politics."
