Is Your Faith in the Institution or Jesus Christ? Must Watch! (Feat. John Bushman) - EP 113
Description
Are you going to church or are you going to worship? In this episode of Walking with the Savior, host John Merrill Kirkman sits down with author John Bushman to explore the heart of his powerful new book, King Before Kingdom. Discover how to shift your spiritual focus from the institution of the church to a deep, life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. 🌟
This conversation dives into the concept of churchianity versus true Christianity. John Bushman explains that while the church and its teachings are essential tools, they are not the end goal. We often focus on being converted to an organization or a set of rules, but the scriptures invite us to be converted to the Lord Himself. 📖
We explore the vital difference between simply having a testimony and being a witness who actively praises God’s goodness. John shares insights into the Hebrew concept of yada, which describes an intimate relationship with God rather than just knowing facts about Him. You will also hear about the power of surrender and how daily taking up your cross means letting Christ take the lead in your life. Whether you are feeling burnt out by religious routine or looking to rekindle your fire for the Savior, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to truly walk with Him. 🕊️
