Centre of the Universe

Description
In a recent conversation, Jake had an image come to mind of planets revolving around the sun, except instead of planets they were people, and instead of the sun, Jesus was at the centre of everything. Jake and Brett spend the episode breaking open that analogy and putting into perspective why saying that ‘you’re not the centre of the universe’ is an invitation to a rightly-ordered life rather than a judgement.    Guiding Quote:   “You are not the centre of the universe” - Jake Khym   Key Points   We’re taking a break from episodes this summer and will return in September with Season 12 Jake shares an image of the universe revolving around Jesus How ‘you’re not the centre of the universe’ is an invitation to right order and peace rather than judgement The role of distrust and fear when we place ourselves at the centre of the universe An historical lens for our big life questions Jake and Brett speculate on the genuine reasons we put ourselves at the centre of the universe How pride, vanity and sensuality are paths that we try to be okay, and make ‘it’ (life) okay   Discussion Questions   What stood out to you in this episode? What are you looking for in life?  What are the expectations you have of God? Do you hear the phrase, ‘You’re not the centre of the universe’ as a judgement or with relief? Why? Which is the primary tendency you struggle with, based on Jake and Brett’s examples: pride, vanity or sensuality? How can you invite Jesus to help you combat this?    Resources   The Men’s Retreat 2022   Connect with Way of the Heart: Facebook: @wayoftheheartpodcast Instagram: @wayoftheheartpodcast Website: www.wayoftheheartpodcast.com   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!
