What happens when we're so focused on where we're trying to get to that we miss the life we're already living?
In this episode, I reflect on why rest can feel so difficult, even when we know that Christ has finished the work. We talk about ambition, plans, achievement, and the tendency to place too much weight on things that were never meant to carry our identity or security.
We'll also explore what it means for God to be our portion, how challenging seasons can change our perspective, and why learning to rest isn't about becoming passive, but about knowing where our security truly comes from.
If you've ever felt like you're always looking ahead, always chasing the next thing, or struggling to enjoy where you are, I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and notice what God has already placed in front of you.
Because sometimes, in focusing so much on the life we're trying to get to, we miss the life we're already living.

E4: Where Are You Finding Your Worth?
Where do you find your sense of value?
Is it in your career, your achievements, the approval of others, or the goals you're striving to reach?
In this episode of Everyday Living with Jesus, we explore what it truly means to say, "Christ is our life." Together, we'll reflect on how easily our identity can become tied to our performance, productivity, or success and how the gospel invites us to something far more secure.
When our worth is rooted in Christ rather than in what we do, we're free to pursue excellence without striving to prove ourselves. We can embrace opportunities, receive encouragement with gratitude, learn from criticism with humility, and live from the security of knowing that our identity has already been established in Him.
In this episode, we'll explore:
Why we so often attach our worth to our achievements or the opinions of others.
What Paul meant when he wrote, "Christ, who is our life."
The difference between living for acceptance and living from acceptance.
How the finished work of Christ gives us a secure identity that isn't shaken by success, failure, or changing circumstances.
Key Scripture: Colossians 3:4

E3: Why Your Thoughts Matter More Than You Think
In this episode, we explore what it means to be transformed through the renewing of the mind.
As believers, God is not only interested in outward behavior. He is also at work transforming us inwardly. The way we think affects how we see ourselves, how we respond to life's challenges, and how we grow in our relationship with Him.
Together, we'll discuss:
• Why renewing the mind is essential for spiritual growth• How God's Word becomes the filter through which we view life• The difference between old patterns of thinking and a renewed mind• Being conformed to the image of Christ• Why transformation is a process, not an overnight event• How God's truth helps reshape our thoughts, perspectives, and character
This episode is a reminder that transformation is not about striving to earn God's acceptance. It is about living from the finished work of Christ and allowing Him to renew us from the inside out.
Scripture references: Romans 12:2, Romans 8:29, Proverbs 23:7, 1 Peter 2:2, Philippians 4:8, Philippians 2:13, and 2 Corinthians 10:5.

E1: Is Knowing About God the Same as Knowing Him?
What does it really mean to live for Jesus daily beyond just knowing Scripture?
In this foundation episode, we explore the difference between theoretical Christianity and practical Christianity. It’s easy to know the Word, but what does it look like to actually live it out in our everyday lives?
We talk about how faith shows up in the small, daily choices we make in our thoughts, our responses, and our actions and how living for Jesus is not about performance, but about relationship and consistency.
This episode will encourage you to move beyond just hearing the Word to becoming a doer of it, trusting that God is at work in you as you grow.

Luke 16:10
