When God shows us something, it's time to act on it, right? Well, as we look through Scripture, that's certainly not often the case. As Scott and Ken mention, sometimes we struggle to understand what God wants us to do and when. This struggle is meant to help us rely on God more fully. Otherwise, we are virtually guaranteed to make a mess of it as we try to do things ourselves. That's the struggle of being a forerunner. Scott and Ken discuss what a forerunner is, the challenges of being ahead of and alongside everyone else, and some pitfalls to be aware of.➡️ Read the blog postFollow or Subscribe➡️ Apple Podcasts➡️ Google Podcasts➡️ Spotify➡️ AmazonKEY TAKEAWAYS:Discover how religion as an end unto itself will inevitably lead us astray.Overcome the challenges of being a forerunner in your sphere of influence.Explore the power of filling the void with God for a more fulfilling life.LINKS & RESOURCES:Look out for the release of Anthologies from the Forefront: Religion and the Future and consider reading it
