Jesus, Culture, and Your Complicated Story

Following Jesus doesn’t mean you don’t have history.
It doesn’t mean you don’t have culture.
It doesn’t mean your story isn’t complicated.

The question is not what you’ve been around.
The question is what has authority over you.

God doesn’t always erase what’s natural.
Sometimes He redeems it, refines it, and sends it on assignment.

But you have to guard your allegiance.
Because anything that takes God’s place becomes an idol.

You can walk in different spaces.
You can have access to different worlds.

Just make sure nothing has your heart except Him.
