We have begun to build a construct of God that says, if I do the right thing, he will keep me safe.

And God's saying, nope, that's not how the program works.

T-Brews 5A says, even though Jesus was a son of man, he learns obedience through the things he had to suffer.

So Jesus knew everything, but according to the Bible, he had to learn obedience as a man.

God cares so much about you, that he's willing to keep you on a tight leash

and not let you have everything that you want because when you get it, he knows who you're going to

turn into. You would probably never be found praying in your prayer closet. God, please keep me weak,

keep me incompetent. But we pray for the same things because we're like, God, keep me safe.

You oftentimes find the mouth of the serpent and the people closest to you.

Will God use an emotion in you that is evil or ungodly to position you in a place that he needs you to be and then fix it later.

Man, if Christians would just stop trying to honor God by lying to him, they'd get a lot further.

Like, I know that God is good, brother.

You're lying.

Sometimes you know you're highly, highly, highly coales by God

because your life feels like one giant assignment in failure.

You know you're dealing with the real church when she prays for her enemies

as much as she prays for her friends.

Everyone wants to get to the high places, but if you want to go high, you first have to

go deep.

Doing great, man.

Are we ever going to recover from our pickleball losing streak together?

Hey, but I will say, congrats.
