We're talking about what it actually means to live out the teachings of Jesus—not just know them. Rafer shares his journey of moving from simply understanding scripture to actively embracing small, practical shifts that build emotional maturity, healthier relationships, and a more vibrant faith.
If you’re weary of surface-level change or burned out from trying harder, get ready to discover simple steps that bring real transformation—one small shift at a time. This is an episode full of honest stories, spiritual wisdom, and encouragement to trust God with every step, even and especially when it feels hard.
