Welcome to the Jeff Kaven Show, where we talk about the Bible,

discipleship and evangelization, putting it all together and living as activated disciples.

This is episode 270, Jesus, and radical individualism.

Thanks again for joining me, my friend. I am looking forward to talking to you today,

especially after watching just a few minutes of the news this week, which I'm sure you have or

you heard from somebody else. It's like a sport that you got to warn people about. You could come

out, confused and injured after listening to what's happening all around the world, especially in

the United States, with politics and Hollywood and law and jurisprudence, the Supreme Court and

all these different things that are happening. In fact, they've been happening for a while now.

It's almost like we're in a jaguar, where the news just plain looks like it looks right now,

and I know that in talking to people, they can feel discouraged when they look at the news,

and then they start to forecast their own lives or their children's lives, and they

kind of hang their heads and say, boy, I just don't know about it. I don't know what's going to

go on here. I want to address that today with this topic called Jesus and Radical Individualism.

If you want the show notes, I do have plenty of scripture as always, and you can get the show notes

by texting my name. One word, Jeff Kavins, J-E-F-F-C-A-V-I-N-S, and you can text that name,

Jeff Kavins S, my name to the number 33777, which is about as biblical as you can get for it.

For texting, 33777. Well, an encouraging word is not always a positive word. I think you

probably know that, and when you were growing up, your parents probably took you aside more than

a few times and said, let me tell you something, and it was an encouraging word, but it wasn't

necessarily a positive word, because they were trying to get something across to you, which would

result in better behavior, going down the right path, avoiding trouble, whatever it might be.
