This week at EDGE, leader Josh Madzy opens with a math-class analogy every student knows — copying the homework, acing the assignment, then bombing the test — and uses it to ask a harder question: what if we're doing the same thing with our faith? Teaching from John 4 & the Samaritan woman at the well, Josh explains why inherited faith always leaves us thirsty again: it's shallow, it doesn't produce fruit, it's easy to abandon when life gets hard, and it can't stand in for actually knowing Jesus. He points students to the solution — individual surrender to the Savior, which simply means repenting and believing Jesus is Lord — and gives four practical next steps: ask the tough questions, know what you believe & why, use the faith of your family as fuel rather than a substitute, and bring friends to Jesus instead of just telling them about Him. The night ends on one challenging question: do you know Jesus only because someone else does, or have you met Him for yourself?
