In this episode Phil Cada returns to discuss the promotional process and how putting his priorities in the right order was the key to success. We reflect on our lives with and without Jesus as Lord. Many Christians claim Christ as their savior but rarely live with Jesus as the Lord of their life - the number one priority. The fear of missing out on living a full life prevents them from fully surrendering to the way the Bible calls us to live. The irony is that when you let go and trust God with your life, you will truly live the most fulfilled life. "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me and the gospel will save it." (Mark 8:35, CSB). For us, both having taken the exam with and without putting God first, it is clear and the results speak for themselves. ALL GLORY TO GOD!
