Feb 01, 2016•19 min•Ep 214•Transcript available on Metacast Many (if not most) modern Christians have a “pop-up Jesus”… we “pop him up” on Sunday morning, or maybe while we're listening to Christian radio. But when the chips are down (sickness, relationship trouble, financial problems), we often turn to more “practical” answers, like medical science, Dr. Phil, and good financial books. None of that is bad. But if we put our faith in those things, we're sunk. We need to pursue, and be preoccupied, with “the One Thing” for all Christians. If you are a Chri...
