Is Jesus Your Life Coach or Your Lord?

Are you tired of seeing the American Church focused on life coaching and missing the foundational aspect of Jesus being Lord?  In this episode, Rylee Meek explores the idea of Christians seeking Jesus as a life coach rather than their lord and questions the effectiveness of life coaches in general. Meek draws a parallel between making disciples and coaching, and how the American Church's focus on success may be misaligned with Scripture. Meek's revelation leads to a discussion of the importance of Jesus being Lord and Savior and how being a believer means committing to a life of righteousness and understanding that Jesus cannot be our savior if he is not Lord. In that discussion, Meek does not shy away from calling out churches he believes are tolerating bad behavior like celebrating homosexuality and sexual immorality. Look to Jesus as their Lord and Savior rather than just a life coach and to build their faith through hearing the word of God.  Key takeaways: Focus on discipleship instead of just evangelism  Look for guidance from Christian leaders who have a track record of producing good fruit in their own lives Remember that success in the American church isn't always a true measure of success according to Scripture Focus on becoming more righteous every day Build meaningful relationships with other Christians Prioritize your relationship with Jesus.   Quotes: "Is Jesus your lord or is he your life coach? Because if he is not lord of all, he is not lord at all." - Rylee Meek "I don't believe he can be your savior if he is not lord of your life and this is the missing component, guys." - Rylee Meek "The problem is that he is not lord of our life and we're not taking a look at scripture and understanding if we believe that scripture, the word of God, the living breathing word of God is truth, is the actual truth that it's the infallible word of God." - Rylee Meek "The original intent of the rainbow itself was a covenant that God made with us." - Rylee Meek   Check the DNA Blueprint, visit: https://kingscouncilcommunity.org/   Text “King” to 727-472-3860 and join the community! - The King’s Council’s mission is to help you discover and deploy your God-given talents.
