We set up to sell furniture and ended up recording one of the most honest conversations we've had in a while. No studio, no stage, just three of us on the floor of an empty garage at The Table 61 in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

It started with one question. What if the crushing is the blessing?

From there we got into the olive press, the wine that has to age, and why Jesus wasn't in a hurry to be seen. I was honest about the last six months, coming back to something expecting it to take off and running into a wall that wouldn't break. We talked about the trap of chasing the destination while missing the process that's actually forming you.

Jason Stuhlmiller of The Table 61 brought the teaching on the debtor's ethic, the debt we put on ourselves that God never handed us, and how we've gotten better at earning than receiving. We landed on love, influence, and the new command in John 13. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.

If you've been doing everything right and still feel stuck in the pressure, this one's for you.
