The Wake-Up Call

Do I really want to change?

If Jesus is agape love and Jesus is in me, I am agape love.

Love is the measure.

Our job is to plant the seed of God’s Word in our lives—every single day.

Transformation continues, is carried forward, and completed by Jesus.

Whoever has ears, let them hear.

Could it be that we fundamentally misunderstand the whole process and dynamic of transformation?

Our physical bodies grow by inches. The Bible indicates our souls grow by degrees

Save us from the trap of becoming negative about ourselves and lead us into the solution of becoming super positive about you.

Am I growing?

There is nothing quite so powerful as a well-asked question.

Lord Jesus, we praise you because we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

I am an unbelievable, inconceivable, unrepeatable miracle of God!

With you I am well pleased: And I’m proud of you.

In this episode, Brenna Bullock (Bristol House, Woodlands Methodist Church) delves into the power of worship, exploring how ancient hymns and new songs bridge centuries to renew the soul and deepen faith. Through her personal journey, including a pivotal hospital stay and a deep dive into Wesleyan theology, Brenna reveals how singing hymns is more than tradition—it's a spiritual act that connects us to the divine. She shares insights on weaving old and new in worship, emphasizing the sacred materiality of communion and the role of melodies in shaping our spiritual lives. This episode invites pastors, worship leaders, and believers to experience worship as an act of divine participation, offering a fresh perspective on the legacy of faith through music.

Righteousness does not come from following the rules but from coming to know the Ruler.

Fasting is a way of bringing to the surface the broken attachments of our deep identity so that we might be healed.

We must change our relationship with the one necessary thing: our proximity to Jesus.
