| 0:00.0 | We all have that one thing that we're super passionate about. It could be that favorite sports team we faithfully watch every week or the popular podcast or TV show we binge. We're all fans of something. Unfortunately, sometimes our relationship with Jesus can be reduced to superficial fandom and faith becomes just another hobby. |
| 0:22.6 | So today on Living on the Edge, we'll uncover a critical distinction. |
