The Problem With a Busy Life | The Pursuit with James Griffin

from The Pursuit with James Griffin · host crosspointcity

What if the reason you keep missing the people right in front of you has nothing to do with how much you care and everything to do with how fast you are moving? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckabee unpack the Parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10 and confront the uncomfortable truth that busyness has become the most accepted excuse for walking past people in need. The team gets personal with stories of moments they almost missed, digs into why we wear busyness like a badge of honor, and draws the line between a full life and a hurried life. They also explore what the Greek word for compassion actually means, why real compassion always costs you something, and what it looks like to build a life with enough margin to see the divine appointments God is putting in your path every single day. If you have been so busy doing good things that you keep missing the best thing right in front of you, this episode is going to change the way you see your calendar and the people around you.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus. To help support this mission and work, visit https://www.mycpcc.com/giveTo learn more about all of our locations or what is coming up at Crosspoint City, check out https://www.crosspointcity.com/ or follow us on your favorite social platform ‪@CrosspointCity
