The most important question you'll ever answer isn't what others think about Jesus, but who you say He is. If Jesus truly is God—proven through His miracles, forgiveness of sins, and resurrection—then He has the right to redefine everything about your life, identity, and purpose.

Episode Summary
Every Christian faces the same fundamental question Jesus asked His disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" Your answer to this question doesn't just shape your theology—it transforms your entire life. In this conversation with Brad, we explore the biblical evidence that Jesus is God, what that means for your identity and daily choices, and how to respond when God calls you to surrender. If Jesus really is who He claims to be, then He gets to redefine your goals, reshape your character, and redirect your purpose. This isn't just about believing the right things—it's about allowing the Gospel to transform everything.

What You'll Learn:

• Why Jesus' claim to be God isn't just theological—it's deeply personal
• How Jesus proved His divine authority through forgiveness and miracles
• What changes when you truly believe Jesus has the right to demand everything
• How to move from being content with forgiveness to being transformed by it
• Why surrender to Jesus is actually your greatest privilege and freedom

• Matthew 16:13-16
• Mark 2:1-12

Key Quotes:

• "Are you just content to be forgiven but not moved to be changed?"
• "If Jesus is God, he gets to redefine everything about our lives."
• "Whatever he asks of us is always for the better—it's always better"

Your thoughts about God will shape your belief in God. When you face circumstances that terrify or overwhelm you, you'll either question God's trustworthiness or choose to trust His goodness despite the pain. This choice determines whether you move toward fear or faith.

In a socially isolated, socially-distant, self-centered society, real community often falls to the wayside. Let's explore the power of community and doing life together.

When is the last time you put yourself in a position to fail?

"If you never set yourself up to fail then you never set yourself up to grow.” that's the truth that Pastor Khalil unpacks today.

If you're afraid of failure and so do your best to never take risks, this message is for you.

Have you ever asked yourself if faith in Jesus even works? Does it do anything? Does it change anything? If you've wrestled with questions like this, hit play as we wrestle with the purpose of faith and what Jesus has to say to our question.

if we are not careful, everyone will find themselves living for someone else’s approval because most of us are not secure enough in the approval of God.

Living to please God means at times you’re going to make decisions that are going to disappoint people. And you will only go as far in faith as you were comfortable with that truth.

If you cannot live without people's approval then you have already probably hit the lid on your life. But if you will live for God, if his approval will be enough, there is no limit to where He may take you.

you cannot please people and please God at the same time, so which one will you choose?

The lie we learn when we experience the pain of rejection is that we are not worth it. That we are a cosmic accident, a catastrophic failure, or a magnificent mistake.

Satan wants you to believe that you are trash with no purpose beyond simply being thrown away.

But God does not make mistakes and you are not one. He sent Jesus to win where you fail and die where you deserved so you could be accepted as you are. Do not let others’ rejection keep you from experiencing God’s reception. You are not the sum of your mistakes, failures, or shortcomings- In Christ, you are a new creation, the work of the Master; He never makes mistakes, he only makes masterpieces.
