"Just because you built this thing up and it can run without you, it doesn't mean it doesn't require your attention or your presence."
In this powerful episode of 'Few Minutes For Jesus', Justin Raghoo takes us on a journey through Second Samuel, chapter 11. The episode, titled 'Don't Put It In Neutral', dives into the story of King David and the crucial lessons we can learn from his life. Justin opens up about his own struggles with addiction, depression, and anxiety, and how faith transformed his life.
He emphasises that while life is far from perfect, there is always hope and a way forward through God's guidance. The episode centres on the idea that you should never put your life in neutral, no matter how tired or overwhelmed you might feel. Using the example of David staying behind in Jerusalem while his army went to war, Justin illustrates the dangers of becoming complacent.

However, even great leaders like David can falter when they stop paying attention.
Justin encourages you to seek God's calling in every season of your life, whether you're a parent, a business leader, or simply someone trying to navigate daily challenges. This episode is a call to action for anyone feeling stuck or tempted to take their foot off the gas.
