For Such a Time as This!

With the current situation and the forced pause of regular life/schedule for most of us, this is a timely message as we quiet our souls to take account of what has taken priority in our life. Especially now, it is important we put Jesus Over Everything. Lisa Whittle always brings the Word and I enjoy her honest transparency as she tackles each of the topics in her book. Jesus must be over all the things in our lives in order for us to truly live out the message of the Gospel.

We truly need to put Jesus over all!

"We commit to a lifestyle of Jesus over everything, and He keeps us."

Jesus Over Everything is the book we all need in this time. Lisa helps us to see the areas where we are putting other things above Jesus. When Jesus isn't above everything we tend to rely on our on strength. Lisa shows us the 10 ""deadly-overs"" in our life and how we can replace them with Christ. when we truly put Jesus over everything, we take the weight off of us. This book is a must read!

Convicting

“The true success of a person is not in if she can make her life work; it’s if she can die to her life enough for Jesus to work in her.”

Ummm… Get out of my business Lisa Whittle, you don’t know me! That was my first thought when I heard her read that line above. But she doesn’t have to know me, because our sinful desire as people is to make our life work on our terms. But over and over again in life I have realized that life is better if Jesus is in control. If Jesus is over everything as Lisa says. This book was a pointed and yet gentle reminder of how much better life is when it is structured around a Jesus first mindset, instead of a me first mindset. Lisa shares vulnerable stories from her own life so you can relate to what this looks like in the day to day. And what it looks like when you get out of whack.

Thank you to NetGalley and W Publishing for a free digital copy that I read in partnership with the audio.
