Video Update: The Wrong Question About a Busy Life
Hi Friends,Spring is finally here in Colorado. Yeah, there's still the occasional snow, but Spring is here and I couldn't be happier.Over the past several weeks, I've been doing a ton of interviews around the release of my new book—Experience Jesus. Really. While every conversation is unique, I often get asked some variation of this question: How do I fit more of Jesus into my already busy life? The counter-intuitive answer is we have to start with Jesus, and everything else in our day must bow to that. I share what that looks like in this week's video.Offered in love,John
