Arms Upheld: Support in Life's Hard Battles
Get Up & Walk - Episode #140
All through school we were taught to give the 'right' answers. We learned what was acceptable and what was not. We learned what was respectful and what was not. So when I heard this certain man's response to Jesus, I was appalled. How could he offer excuses and explanations instead of a direct and respectful response?
Then, I had to check myself and lean in closer.
Perhaps he had the right answer after all. He was sharing his authentic experience with Jesus. He was creating his own true answer with more words than "yes, sir".
Where are we allowing man to limit our words to prescribed scripts instead of sharing our experience with Jesus? Is it time for us to get up and walk?
***Please note that there will be one more episode before my break in July. This podcast will resume in August. Thanks!***
