Jesus did not die for followers. He did not die for servants. He died to restore our friendship with God — and we have to come back to the table. This episode is a conversation with Preston Morrison about what it looks like to re-dig the old wells, tear down what is competing with God, and return to the simple things that have always carried the presence of God.
In this episode:
Preston's fostering and adoption story — why God told him this was not for Maxon, it was for him
The pleasure of the Lord — what it is, what produces it, and why it becomes an addiction
Idols defined — anything that occupies the part of your heart God alone was meant to occupy
Why addressing idols is romantic not religious — the marriage illustration that reframes everything
John 15 and friendship with God — why this has to be at the center of everything
What the church needs to recover right now — worship, the Word, prayer, intercession, and patience
Memorial stones — Joshua 4 and why we need to remember what God has done before we ask for what is next
