Summary
Isn’t it interesting that we live in one of the wealthiest and technologically advanced times in human history and yet we still find ourselves stressed out, fearful, and overwhelmed?
Why does every day feel like it’s a battle?
On one hand, we can attribute this to things like our fast-paced culture, political tensions, and the increasing influence of social media in our lives. Yet there is also a spiritual component that goes so much deeper.
In today’s First15 Conversations Podcast, we’re joined by John Mark Comer. Conversations with John Mark are always deeply insightful and encouraging, and this one is no different! The wisdom he offers is something you don’t want to miss.
We cover topics like...
- Three enemies that are sabotaging our peace.
- How our hyper-individualistic culture is affecting our relationships
- What does the future of the church look like?
- How do we follow Jesus in a culture that is moving away from him?
