We spend time every day in school, or at the gym, or at practice. But when it comes to the most important element of life, do we have the same kind of dedication, or better? Our life of prayer is a place to begin.

I hope you have a personal relationship with Jesus. But that doesn’t cut it. As annoying as people might be, we are still called into a communal life as followers of Christ. In fact, in the communion of believers, we encounter him!

We spend massive amounts of time following influencers. They help focus our attention. They help us to know what to spend our time and energy and money on. All of them promise us a better life! But, who can I follow to receive the life Jesus promises in John 10:10?

Many argue that following Jesus can be done on our own terms, however we see fit. But Jesus proposed a concrete method, and he proposed it on Day 1.

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! But how does this life-changing fact begin to affect me? How do I let it affect me?
