Does it choke it or stoke it?
In Mark 4:18-19 Jesus warns us about three “thorns” that can choke our faith and lives, making them unfruitful.
Yikes!
They are (a) the worries of this life, (b) the deceitfulness of wealth, and (c) the desires for other things.
But what does he mean? And how can we avoid being chocked by them?!
This is what this podcast dives into. It’s Part 3 in the “Crop” series and is called “Does it choke it or stoke it?” Not only do we explore what Jesus meant, but we highlight a few modern examples, and leverage a key question that can help us make better decisions and priorities so that Jesus remains at the centre of our lives.
Life can get crazy. I know. So let’s not lose sight of what matters most.
