Are you secretly exhausted from trying to get an "A" in your spiritual life?In this laugh-filled reunion on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach welcomes back theological researcher and spiritual director Jessica Morris to dismantle the performance-driven engines of modern devotion. Together, they dive into Luke 9:23 to help you trade the legalistic courtroom of religious perfectionism for the effortless living room of grace. Pull up a chair to learn how to drop the burden of striving, step into a continuous spiritual flow, and find radical peace by unsubscribing from urgency.Key Conversation Breakthroughs:The Mirror of Spiritual Direction: We break down the quiet mystery of holding space, revealing why a spiritual director isn't there to fix your behavior but to help you drop your guard and rest in the Father's presence.Balancing Trauma Excavation with Grace: We wrestle with inner healing, sharing how to prevent deep soul-work and "dying to self" from becoming a performance-based chore, anchoring you in wholeness instead.Moving from Broken Cisterns to Absolute Peace: When people inevitably fail us, we explore how to anchor your inner stability solely in the unshakeable nature of Jesus.The Paradigm Shift: From "Use" to "Flow": We challenge the idea of being a tool "used" by God, shifting instead to a blueprint of becoming open channels for the Holy Spirit to flow through effortlessly.Luke 9:23 and Your True I Amness: Leaning into the Mirror Translation, we explore the liberating truth that His cross is your cross—fully finished so self-effort can finally stall out.Jesus Isn't Grading Your Faith: Jessica shares a personal story that shatters her own religious scorecard, offering the profound relief that God isn't grading your performance.Unsubscribing from Urgency:&nbsp;(Music Video) We unpack a live testimony from a recovery circle that redefines what it means to live in the "now."

Episode 293: THE LIVE FEED: Finding Strength, Perseverance, Bathed in Peace: Not Settling for Less Than What He Has Offered by His Own Flesh ❖ 293

What if the most restrictive walls in your life aren't made of stone, but are built entirely from man's discord?In this powerful episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach dives deep into the profound reality of modern, invisible confinement—the suffocating pressure to perform, the weight of expectations, and the unexpected circumstances that threaten to shrink our world. When our immediate instinct in the friction is to beg for a supernatural jailbreak, we often miss the grander invitation of the Gospel.Through His own flesh, Christ did something far more radical than merely smashing open exterior doors: He tuned our inner frequency to His own. He offered us an inheritance of strength, perseverance, and a life completely bathed in peace, immersing us into an incorruptible, immortal liberty that never requires permission from our surroundings to exist.By shaking out the scriptures from Paul's prison epistles and contrasting his strategic sovereign rest with Peter's miraculous jailbreak in Acts 12, this episode shifts the paradigm of true Christian spiritual growth. You will discover that when you are fully unified with Him, freedom is no longer a destination you are running toward—it is the very atmosphere you carry right where you are. Stop settling for less than the absolute liberty He already purchased for you, and learn how to live spiritually brave in the middle of any environment.What You Will Discover in This Episode:The Architecture of the Invisible Cell: Recognizing the universal spiritual confinement created by performance culture and modern anxieties.Tuned to His Frequency: How Christ’s sacrifice harmonized our mortal frame into the unchanging frequency of divine immortality.Peter’s Escape vs. Paul’s Choice: Shaking out the text to see why Paul chose to stay behind bars to weaponize his confinement and broadcast the immortal Word.Living Wide Open: Practical insights on bridging heaven and earth to carry absolute liberty as your daily atmosphere.➡️ Connect with Kristen on Social Media 🌲 LinkTree⊕ More conversations on Romans 8:2&nbsp;👏&nbsp;Purchase How Good is God (AMAZON) (BARNES &amp; NOBLE) (USA DIRECT FROM KRISTEN)👉 SUBSCRIBE TO KRISTEN'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈💌 Want to be a guest on Interviewing Jesus?

Episode 292: “SUBJECT TO, NOT CENTRAL:” Dismantling the Performance Engine with Mick Wienholt ❖ 292

Every day we ask, "What would Jesus do?" But what if the deeper question is: "Who does Jesus say that I AM?" On this episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with international podcaster Mick Wienholt (host of Coincidence or God) to dismantle the high-achieving performance engine we bring into our faith.Mick unzips his history, showing how physical facts were overridden by supernatural reality. From surviving an avalanche in 2000 to the full-term stillbirth of his son, Luke, in 2012, Mick details how deep trauma shattered his pride and forced an absolute surrender. He exposes the exact moment in 2023 when the Holy Spirit delivered a specific pattern interrupt to his corporate career: "Because you are a created being, you are subject to, not central in, your own life."Discover how to move from a comfortable, seated religion to a visceral, face-in-the-floorboards prayer encounter. Learn to stop functioning like a bucket trying to force control, and start living as a pipe that lets the Father's grace flow effortlessly on a practical Monday morning. It's time to lay down your targets and live Spiritually BRAVE!💡 KEY TAKEAWAYSDismantle the Performance Engine: High-capacity believers easily use prayer as a checklist to fund their own ambitions. True sonship requires shifting focus from what you can execute to who He says you are apart from your performance.Subject To, Not Central: Real intimacy begins when you realize your logic, targets, and desires are entirely subject to the King—He is the center of the template, not your personal provision metrics.The Blueprint Precedes the Trauma: Naming a child "Luke" (Light-giving) while actively hating God proved that an eternal signature was already rewriting Mick's family tree.Postural Surrender Breaks the Ego: Moving from a comfortable, seated prayer position to physically dropping to your knees with your face in the floorboards unmasks pride and deepens reliance on Holy Spirit promptings.Be a Pipe, Not a Bucket: When you experience God as a loving Dad, you stop acting like a bucket hoarding control and become a pipe letting His inherent grace flow effortlessly to the world.👉 SUBSCRIBE TO KRISTEN'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈✅ INTERVIEWING JESUS SHOW NOTES: GUEST LINKS AND LISTENER RESOURCES👏 Purchase How Good is God (AMAZON) (BARNES &amp; NOBLE) (USA DIRECT FROM KRISTEN)➡️ Connect with Kristen on Social Media 🌲 LinkTree💌 Want to be a guest on Interviewing Jesus?
