Are You Performing or Transforming? - Rediscovering the Heart of Following Jesus

from REFINE · host Buli Makhubo

In today's Christian culture, it's easy to become consumed with appearances, platforms, and personalities. We know our favorite preachers, quote influential leaders, and master Christian language, yet many of us have neglected the One we claim to follow. Somewhere along the way, Christianity became more about performing for people than being transformed by Christ.In this episode, we explore God's true desire for His children: not flawless religious performance, but hearts that are continually surrendered and transformed. We discuss the danger of idolizing leaders, measuring spirituality by outward works, and pursuing recognition while missing intimacy with Jesus.God is not looking for people who merely look the part. He is looking for people whose hearts have been changed by His presence.Join us as we rediscover the difference between religion and relationship, performance and transformation, and what it truly means to follow Jesus.
