It's Episode 3 and we are still giving you our biggest takeaways from Part One of Nik Ripken's The Insanity of Obedience. This section of Ripken's book is long, but more than that, it is convicting. Ripken uses Scripture and stories from around the globe to challenge us and call us back to the heart and mission of God. It's this heart, the heart of God for the lost that we approach in this episode. We hope you will be challenged in the same way we were as we read.

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
