ep 15: what are you letting shape you as a Christian?

I used to allow myself to be influenced by people just because they said they were a Christian, or even listen to sermons/preachers without even knowing the truth behind the messages because I was not in the word myself or in a true personal relationship with God. 

It wasn't until I fully surrendered my life to God and started developing a deeper relationship with Him myself, that I realised so much more about who I am and what the word says about who he needs us to be. Things I would have no clue about if I didn't have a relationship w Him, and just continued listening to outside influences, and this is when I realised how AWARE we need to be of what CHRISTIAN content we are letting into our lives - but it all starts with our own relationship w God. 

Everything we listen to; sermons, podcasts, influencers; it should all be based on the word of God; and the only way we're going to differentiate false doctrine from sound doctrine, is being in the word ourselves and letting the Holy Spirit speak to us through it.

God is so good and will meet you wherever you are, but He wants soooo much more for us too <3 xxx.
