| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Ask Pastor John podcast. This week we welcome author and speaker |
| 0:09.8 | Dr. Paul David Trip Paul will be filling in this week and most recently Paul is the author |
| 0:16.2 | of the book all why it matters for everything we think say and do a book that easily made |
| 0:23.1 | my top 10 list for the best books of 2015 and this week we're going to be talking about |
| 0:28.0 | awe in the awesome glory of God and how this awe and God really does really to everything |
| 0:35.0 | in life specifically to our spiritual growth our Bible intake our ministry aims and even |
| 0:41.6 | to our news consumption our anxieties our weight loss attempts our parenting methods and our |
| 0:47.3 | expectations of marriage and romantic love all of those are topics for us this week and |
| 0:54.4 | it'll be a full week so let's dive in Paul in the book you wrote this quote spiritual growth is |

| 2:03.6 | given back my awe again because what happens in sin is that all of God is replaced by all of other |
| 2:12.9 | things most centrally all of myself so that's what's captured in Corinthians 515 that says Jesus |
| 2:24.2 | came so that those who live very interesting terminology would no longer live for themselves |
| 2:31.3 | so you could argue that Christian growth is a growth in my awe of God that the thing that |
| 2:41.8 | dominates me more and more is the wonder of God and the wonder of my attachment to God by grace |
