Disc 6: How God Changes Us
Living in the reality of his love gives us a new focus that frees us from sin, grows our trust in him and shapes our lives to reflect his glory in the world.

A look at how Jesus translates his incredible work on the cross to the freedom in our own lives of living in relationship with him and his Father. Download the Getting It handout will help you follow some of the dialog here.
The cross was not the sacrifice God needed to love you, but the cure we needed to live a peace in him. As we look at the cross from God’s perspective, we will see that his work was so much greater than mere punishment of sin could ever achieve.
The disease of sin and shame infects us all and blinds us to God’s reality, must be dealt with if we are going to enter into the relationship of affection Father wants with us.
The Parable of the Incredible Father shows us that there are two ways to run from God-rebellion and religion, and only one way to live in him-in a relationship of affection.
Looking at Jesus’ final words to his disciples in the upper room, we can discover exactly how Jesus wanted us to live out our days in him.
A fresh look at a parable we’ve mislabled, for this is less about two sons than it is about an incredible Father, who loves his two children with a love that almost defies our ability to comprehend it. Listen and see what Father holds in his heart for you and how you can experience his love in all its glory and fullness.
What does it mean to love God as he wants to be loved? Just what is this relationship with him meant to be like and how can you grow in it every day for the rest of your life? Find out how Jesus personified all that was in God’s heart concerning you and the relationship he desires with you.

This conversation covers so much of my own journey and writings, my participation in the publication of The Shack, and some of the current challenges in my own life. The organizers of the event, Lives Transforming, video taped the event and have made it available on their website. We are considering making this into a CD so small groups can use it to stimulate their own discussions about their spiritual journey and how these books have touched their lives. We’ll have more on that down the road.
