We begin this series with my little sister. Margaret encountered in college changed her outlook on Jesus and her perspective of family. Margaret talks about the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit and letting Him guide you through life. Explanation of staying in alignment with God. Identify what do you want to be aligned with? (i.e., my plans, God’s plan, the world’s plan, etc.) Alignment starts with surrender—a heart thing. We also address the importance of reading the Bible and being a part of the Body of Christ.

In this episode, we really into what it looks like to truly have a relationship with God!
Religion is a practice of faith, the belief system of something (i.e., Christianity). The relationship connects when we apply what we believe in our personal relationship.
Religion is often based on do's and don'ts while the relationship is based on the desire to please our Father.
