Revelation Within On the Go!Revelation Within On the Go!The Real Thing: Pt.1Send us a textIn this first episode of our new series, The Real Thing, we confront a subtle but powerful lie many of us have believed: that following Jesus means managing our lives better. From color-coded binders to constant striving, we’ve both fallen into the trap of believing that more control equals more freedom.

We open up about how our personal stories shaped these patterns.
