Time With Jesus
Manage episode 413728154 series 3341995
Imagine the hilarity of trying to surprise your wife with a bicycle, only to be met with an unexpected lesson on life's true priorities. That's where our story kicks off—a comical yet profound reminder that, much like in the biblical narrative of Martha and Mary, we often find ourselves tangled in the web of everyday distractions. Throughout this episode, I'll take you through the twists and turns of maintaining focus on what matters most, from our personal relationships to our sacred moments with Jesus.
You won’t want to miss how Jon found myself lost in the melody of his wife Diana's music, just like we sometimes lose ourselves in the rhythm of our routines. As we unravel the threads of our personal pursuits and passions, Jon reflects on how these influences have the power to reshape our preferences, including his newfound love for Mexican cuisine and the band Chicago. This episode is an invitation to embrace the distractions that draw us closer to those we love, and especially, those that pull us into deeper communion with Christ.
Finally, let's talk about leading an unhurried life, one that's bathed in the serenity of Christ's footsteps, inspired by Alan Fadling's insights. Ever been pricked by a jumping cholla cactus? Jon share a prickly encounter of his own that brings home the point of Jesus being the most beautiful of interruptions. Tune in for his personal strategies on engaging with scripture, journaling, and prayer that might just transform your own spiritual journey. Together, let's learn to choose the 'one thing necessary,' turning our faith into the ultimate, life-enriching 'distraction.
