May 1400:31:40Tap to summarizeWhat if the Jesus you know has been shaped more by culture than by Scripture? All too often, we create a customized Jesus to fit our preferences instead of following the true Jesus revealed in God's Word.

So today, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman will give us a clear understanding of who Jesus is as Messiah and King! He'll unpack how our view of Jesus can quietly drift, how to recognize when we've turned Him into a life coach instead of a King, and what it looks like to follow Him for who He truly is.
