James Early: What Does It Really Mean to Think, Pray, and Love Like Jesus?

What if following Jesus is not simply about believing the right things, but learning to think, live, pray, and love the way Jesus did?In this episode of Hidden Secrets in Books, Dominic welcomes James Early, Bible teacher, podcast host, and creator of the Jesus Mindset Coaching program, for a meaningful conversation about faith, Scripture, spiritual identity, and what it truly means to follow Jesus.For more than 50 years, James has studied the Bible and questioned teachings that seemed disconnected from the words and example of Jesus. Since 2008, his Bible study workshops at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut have helped transform hundreds of lives.In 2019, James launched The Bible Speaks to You Podcast, which now reaches listeners across more than 200 countries and territories. His mission is to help people move beyond rigid assumptions about Christianity and rediscover what he describes as the original Christianity of Jesus.In this conversation, James shares why he believes the teachings of Jesus should be the ultimate measure of Christian life, why theology can sometimes become more important to people than their relationship with God, and how embracing the mindset of Jesus can change the way we approach faith, relationships, prayer, forgiveness, and everyday life.We explore what it means to genuinely follow Jesus, how to develop a deeper relationship with God, how Scripture can transform the way we think, and why learning to love like Jesus may be one of the most challenging—and rewarding—parts of faith.Whether you have been studying the Bible for decades or are simply asking deeper questions about Christianity, this conversation invites you to look beyond religious labels and return to the central question:How would our lives change if we truly learned to think and love like Jesus?Connect with James Early:Website: https://thebiblespeakstoyou.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-early-499b6a5/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebiblespeakstoyou/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jamesearly777Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/james.earlyListener Resources:
