Summary
Welcome back to the Dare to be True Series on Stay True Podcast! Today, Madi is joined by John Bevere, best-selling author, speaker, and co-founder of Messenger International. This conversation dives into the truth about eternity and the fear and awe of God. This is a message our culture desperately needs to hear. John unpacks why eternity should shape how we live today, how the fear of the Lord leads to wisdom and intimacy, and why reverence for God is not something to run from but to run toward.
They talk honestly about the urgency of living with eternity in mind, the danger of a casual approach to faith, and how holy awe transforms our relationship with God.
Always stay you and stay true!
Questions/topics discussed and answered:
• How do you practically live with eternity in mind?
• What does it really mean to fear the Lord?
• How does holy awe draw us closer to God instead of pushing us away?
• What dangers come with a casual approach to faith?

| 0:04.1 | You receive him as Lord and then he becomes your Savior. |

| 0:20.5 | Where is Judas? What would you say to the person that's like, why talk about eternity, why think about eternity, why write about eternity, and why does eternity really matter? Lucifer saw God right in his glory, led worship, and he didn't fear God, he didn't endure in heaven forever. But a lot of Christians are actually kind of scared about eternity. It's not like you're all of a sudden going to go to a nonstop worship service and be yawning. No, it is so much more complete in life than what we're living in right now. I saw the book, God, where are you? And I was like, I'm just going to, you know, I'm going to borrow this for a second. Well, I didn't borrow it. I kept it. I'll confess. I'll confess on my podcast.

| 1:23.7 | John Bevere, welcome to the Stay True podcast. |
| 1:26.6 | Maddie, I'm so honored to be on this podcast with you, and I love the name you've come up with, Stay True. |
| 1:32.8 | I think one of my personal goals in ministry is that when I leave this earth, I want to be more in love with Jesus than when I started ministry. |
| 1:40.3 | Because I've seen too many people enter into ministry and they end up in a cynical place or a jaded |
| 1:46.1 | place and your heart just breaks. They really did love God when they started, but all of a sudden, |
| 1:52.6 | it's lost. It's fire. Yeah. Well, I've been not to jump in so heavy heart handed at the beginning, |
| 1:58.9 | but honestly, I mean, I've been like studying |
