You may have heard about Jesus your whole life—but do you actually know Him? I’m not talking about religion, church attendance, or head knowledge. I mean a real, personal, authentic relationship with the living God. If you’ve ever wondered, “There has to be more than this in the Christian life,”—you’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re going to uncover how to move from knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him. I want to give you three words that often describe our relationship with Jesus and the third one genuinely has the potentially to radically change your life.

Let’s dive in.

When you think of the cross of Christ, do you think of a sad event or something exciting?

This is "holy week" and most Christians are celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Yet, when we celebrate Good Friday, it is typically somber and serious … but should it be?

In this episode, Nathan walks through Matthew 16 and shows that Jesus' disciples should have been expectant and ready for the resurrection when they saw Jesus on the cross. As such, when we behold the cross, it should be one of celebration and expectation.

Ian Thomas is one of my favorite preachers of old to listen to—his way of articulating the profound truths of Scripture in a simple way has been incredibly helpful to my understanding that Jesus wants to live His life in and through me.

In this stirring and powerful message, Ian Thomas shares that God wants to be God right now in you.

We as believers must remember that Christ is the secret to Christianity! It is not attempting to live the Christian life on our own in our own ability, strength, and wisdom for Him—but allowing Him to live His life in and through us.
