Faith + Fire + Hard Questions = Russ Moore

Pastor Russ Moore came back to Ferocious Ambition to talk about his third book, Fire Breather: How Your Words Create Your World.And then we went somewhere neither of us planned.Yes, we talk about the extraordinary power of words...the difference between saying “I failed” and “I am a failure,” how we speak to ourselves, how we navigate conflict, and how our words can either connect us or divide us.But I also challenge Russ with some of the harder questions.If we believe God spoke through burning bushes and visions, what do we do with intuition, psychics, Eastern philosophy, and experiences we can't easily explain? Where do prayer and manifestation intersect...and where don't they? Can faith leave room for curiosity? Can we pursue truth without losing grace? And can two people challenge each other's beliefs without needing to make the other person wrong?We even wander into politics, religion, culture, fear, connection, and why we seem to have forgotten how to disagree without becoming enemies.This isn't a sermon. And it isn't a debate.It's two people sitting across from each other, asking bigger questions, occasionally pushing back, laughing, thinking out loud, and proving that curiosity and conviction don't have to be opposites.Russ says, “Your life comes from your lips.”So maybe the question for all of us is this:What kind of world are your words creating?Listen to this one with an open mind. You may not agree with everything either of us says—and that's exactly why I think it's worth the conversation.Fire breather book: https://a.co/d/0gRaHUxLFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RussMoore7/https://thex.church/our-team/
