info_outlinen this episode of the BIble Connection Podcast, Lisa Whittle talks about her realization, gleaned from her study of the Bible, that Jesus is to be placed over everything in her life and how hard it is to realize that goal. Even though it can feel like a heady to-do list, Lisa explains how placing Jesus over everything is actually a way to uncomplicate your life and operate the way the Bible says you should.
She talks about lies that we often believe about service. That we often get off track by thinking whatever has the biggest spotlight is doing the best. We look at service the way man judges it instead of how God does it. Often, we think of service incorrectly. Lisa talks about how to have a proper perspective on service and how that can change your heart. Then, she talks about how service can often be painful and something she must pray for and work for.
Lisa talks about the importance of choosing holiness over freedom and how that relinquishment leads to an abundant life that God has promised. Pursuing legalism isn’t Biblical, but choosing holiness isn’t legalism, as Lisa explains in the episode. She explains how so often we are enslaved by our own free choices and choosing holiness is so much less complicated.
People constantly chase substitute saviors and things to distract us that ultimately don’t bring us true joy and happiness. At the end of the day, we’re back to complicated lives and stress. Lisa shows us that following Christ and putting Jesus over everything is truly a way to bring joy and an uncomplicated life. Lisa encourages us that God will empower us to do what He asks us to do. It will be difficult, but it is possible.
