"LIFE UNDER, OVER, FROM, and FOR GOD each seeks to use God to achieve some other goal. God is seen as a means to an end. For example, LIFE FROM GOD uses him to supply our material desires. LIFE OVER GOD uses him as the source of principles or laws. LIFE UNDER GOD tries to manipulate God through obedience to secure blessings and avoid calamity. And LIFE FOR GOD uses him and his mission to gain a sense of direction and purpose.” “But LIFE WITH GOD is different because its goal is not to use God, its goal is God. He ceases to be a device we employ or a commodity we consume. Instead God himself becomes the focus of our desire. But before we can really desire God, we must have a clear understanding of who he is and what he is like. The reason most people gravitate to one of the other four postures is because they've never received a clear vision of who God is, and so they settle for something less.”In this episode Tennison and Ginelle conversation centers around what living a LIFE WITH GOD looks like, presented in the book 'WITH: Reimagining The Way You Relate to God' by Skye Jethani.   The LIFE WITH GOD means treasuring him above all else. The goal is not to use God, the goal is God.  The other four postures use God as a means to an end. Those with an incomplete or tainted view of God either want to use Him or dismiss HimUnder - tries to manipulate God through obedience to secure blessing and avoid troubleOver - source of principles or laws to solve problems or have a better life. From - To supply our material needs. For - used God and his mission to gain a sense of direction and purposeGod  is not a device we use or a commodity we consume.  God, himself is the focus of our desire. But if we don't have a clear understanding of who he is and what he is like we will gravitate to one of the other four postures.

The LIFE FOR GOD posture is motivated by a fear of living an insignificant life.  The mission or the task becomes the center of the Christian life.  Join Tennison and Ginelle as they begin to untangle this very popular stance in the life of christians.  If not checked the mission controls almost everything: time, relationships, health, spiritual depth, ethics, and convictions. In advanced stages, missionalism means doing whatever it takes to solve the problem. In its worst iteration, the end always justifies the means. The family goes; health is sacrificed; integrity is jeopardized; God connection is limited. The goal is to do this life WITH God.  If you have been impacted by what you have heard in this podcast and would like to support us in our mission to help people experience healthier & deeper relationships with God, themselves, and others, go to: tableandwell.org/#donate For more information about the Table go to: tableandwell.org/communitytableTo start on your journey to relational health go to: tableandwell.orgTo watch this and other Podcast go to our YouTube Channel: Table & Well co

Receiving God's gifts is the entirety of our relationship with Him.  They have reduced God to a Genie to grant is our desires.  Living here Feeds into our selfish nature, it cuts off the redemptive purpose of pain, and in our pursuit of distraction by comfort we forget the One who alone is able to deliver us, and we seek lesser things.  When this happens we believe that what we want is want God wants for us. We then truly miss out on the good gifts that the Father wants to give us.    If you have been impacted by what you have heard in this podcast and would like to support us in our mission to help people experience healthier & deeper relationships with God, themselves, and others, go to: tableandwell.org/#donate For more information about the Table go to: tableandwell.org/communitytableTo start on your journey to relational health go to: tableandwell.orgTo watch this and other Podcast go to our YouTube Channel: Table & Well co

Living a LIFE OVER GOD means that there is no room or need for God. Our desire to control our environment and mitigate our fears no longer require appeasing God. Instead, we view the universe as a machine that we can understand.  This reduces and limits God to a reproducible formula and worst than that you stop looking to a relationship WITH God and look to just discern the reliable principles of God.If you have been impacted by what you have heard in this podcast and would like to support us in our mission to help people experience healthier & deeper relationships with God, themselves, and others, go to: tableandwell.org/#donate For more information about the Table go to: tableandwell.org/communitytableTo start on your journey to relational health go to: tableandwell.orgTo watch this and other Podcast go to our YouTube Channel: Table & Well co

It's the idea of living under divine rule and following that rule for the sole purpose of avoiding calamity.  So when things go wrong or not as well as others we don't have favor with God or he is mad at us.  We live this because we fear being subject to the uncontrollable and the happenstances of life.    If you have been impacted by what you have heard in this podcast and would like to support us in our mission to help people experience healthier & deeper relationships with God, themselves, and others, go to: tableandwell.org/#donate For more information about the Table go to: tableandwell.org/communitytableTo start on your journey to relational health go to: tableandwell.orgTo watch this and other Podcast go to our YouTube Channel: Table & Well co

In this series they take a look at the 5 postures, or ways Jethani says that we, as humans, relate to God. Under, Over, From, and For.  However God created us to live WITH him.    If you have been impacted by what you have heard in this podcast and would like to support us in our mission to help people experience healthier & deeper relationships with God, themselves, and others, go to: tableandwell.org/#donate For more information about the Table go to: tableandwell.org/communitytableTo start on your journey to relational health go to: tableandwell.orgTo watch this and other Podcast go to our YouTube Channel: Table & Well co
