EXTERNAL/INTERNAL LIVING
Featuring Jonnie T. & Dr. Stephen Phinney
Many believers today, though sincere in their faith, live from the outside in—shaped by circumstances, emotions, societal expectations, and religious performance. Their identity bends to the pressure of approval, and their joy depends on what's happening around them rather than what's dwelling within. This is not the life Yeshua died to give.
The gospel calls us to live from the inside out—from the fullness of Christ in us, not merely around us. Scripture declares, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). That indwelling Life is not an accessory—it is the very source of identity, power, and peace. It doesn’t wait for perfect conditions; it shines in the darkest ones.
When we live externally, we strive, compare, and react. But when we live internally—by the Spirit of Yeshua within—we release love, truth, and endurance that cannot be manufactured. This is not mystical—it’s essential. The believer rooted in Christ will resist cultural tides, overcome rejection, and carry divine clarity in a confused world.
The shift from outside-in to inside-out is the difference between religion and resurrection. It’s time we stop living from reaction—and start living from revelation.
