Is Jesus Actually In the First Place?

In this episode, we ask, "is Jesus actually occupying first place in my heart or has He become an additive?" Beginning in the story of Adam and Eve, we look at God’s original design for humanity—to walk in intimate, dependent relationship with Him. The fall didn’t begin with rebellion alone, but with a deeper shift: Eve questioned her true need for God and chose independence over trust. We unpack how Scripture defines death not merely as the end of life, but as separation from God, and contrast that with Jesus’ words in John 17:3: “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God.” Jesus defines life itself as knowing God. From the beginning, God was never meant to be an addition to our lives or an afterthought. The relationship between God and humanity was always intended to be deeply personal, intimate, and central. This episode is an invitation to honestly survey your heart: Is Jesus truly in first place—or has He become an additive?
