Living WITH God ~ Series Intro.

Table & Well Podcast

“LIFE UNDER, OVER, FROM, and FOR GOD each seeks to use God to achieve some other goal. God is seen as a means to an end. For example, LIFE FROM GOD uses him to supply our material desires. LIFE OVER GOD uses him as the source of principles or laws. LIFE UNDER GOD tries to manipulate God through obedience to secure blessings and avoid calamity. And LIFE FOR GOD uses him and his mission to gain a sense of direction and purpose.”

“But LIFE WITH GOD is different because its goal is not to use God, its goal is God. He ceases to be a device we employ or a commodity we consume. Instead God himself becomes the focus of our desire. But before we can really desire God, we must have a clear understanding of who he is and what he is like. The reason most people gravitate to one of the other four postures is because they’ve never received a clear vision of who God is, and so they settle for something less.”
Join Tennison and Ginelle as they begin their new series Living With God. This is a overview of the book 'WITH: Reimagining The Way You Relate to God' by Skye Jethani. In this series they take a look at the 5 postures, or ways Jethani says that we, as humans, relate to God. Under, Over, From, and For. However God created us to live WITH him.
