It's Episode 2 and we are giving you our biggest takeaways from Part One of Nik Ripken's The Insanity of Obedience. The heart, mission, and method of God are often shocking to us. The plain reading of Scripture shows us that God does the unexpected and works in ways that, frankly, make us uncomfortable. So why is this the case? Better yet, why do the things that we read about in the Bible seem so distant to us today? And better yet still, are we simply missing the work that God is doing today because we have neglected His commands for so long? We try to tackle all that and more in this episode.

If you'd like to read along with us, buy Nik Ripken's book, The Insanity of Obedience. Here's the link to buy it on Amazon. This book challenges us to take Jesus - His words and actions - seriously... like to actually obey and follow them... and to be transformed more into Him.

"Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did." - 1 John 2:6, NLT
