Summary

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I truly following Jesus or just a version of Him I’ve created?” then this conversation will challenge, ground, and refocus your faith on who He really is! Kyle Idleman joins me in today’s episode to talk about his book, The Missing Messiah, and how our culture has reshaped Jesus into something more comfortable and less true. We dive into what it really means to follow Jesus as Messiah and King, not just Savior, and how to move from a surface-level faith into deep, transformative relationship!
