Finding Depth in Simple Obedience: Lessons from Philip
Episode Overview
True spiritual depth often comes from simple obedience. Immediate action on God's revealed will can lead to profound experiences. The Christian life is about applying scripture, not just memorising it. God sometimes 'wrecks the dock' to push us into action. Encouragement to step out of your comfort zone and act on faith.
The Christian life is not really about how much scripture you can memorise; it's about how much scripture you can apply
In this episode of The REBOOT Recovery Show, Evan Owens takes a deep dive into what it truly means to go deeper in your faith. Drawing from the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, Evan challenges the idea that spiritual depth comes from complex theological understanding. Instead, he emphasises that true depth often lies in simple obedience to God's commands.
Through engaging anecdotes and personal reflections, Evan illustrates how immediate action on God's revealed will can lead to profound, life-changing experiences. You'll hear about his own journey from a successful tech career to leading REBOOT Recovery, and how sometimes God has to 'wreck the dock' to get us to step out in faith. This episode is a refreshing reminder that the Christian life is about applying scripture, not just memorising it.
