Just Enough Jesus

Are you ready to move beyond "Bible buffet" Christianity . . . choosing only the comfortable parts of following Jesus while avoiding the challenging truths?

This timely message for 2026 will inspire you to move from a surface-level faith to an all-in relationship with the real Jesus who loves you enough to confront, challenge, and lead you into your God-given destiny.
