Do Life Different - An 11|28 Community Podcast

Pastor Ed Cook, of Revive LTC in Milwaukee, shares a powerful message about "the drift" that happens in the life of a Christian. He calls us to be changed and transformed through the Spiritual Factory Reset of being reborn again.

"If you live for their approval, you'll die by their opinion."Living for people’s approval is exhausting but living with God’s approval is freeing. Pastor Mike Francisco reminded us that you don’t have to earn what God has already given. In fact, God doesn't see things the way you see them, God looks at the heart.

"Offense is an event but bitterness is a decision"Offense can be unavoidable… but staying offended is choice that ultimately determines our trajectory and health. On Mother’s Day Colleen explored the power of forgiveness and how holding onto hurt only holds us back. Freedom begins when we choose to release what we’ve been carrying.

"Control is a cheap substitute for trust."Mike talked about worry, while exploring Jesus' words from Matthew 6, and our natural response to try and control outcomes. We saw that surrender isn’t losing it’s learning to trust God with what we were never meant to carry. The tighter we grip, the more we miss what God is doing.
