Matt Spinks / Ecstatic Joy!

For many, the message of Jesus Christ has not been associated with the overwhelming joy of living. The world is often filled with so much discouragement, depression, and striving just to be happy. In this conversation, Matt talks about his book "High on God," which presents an authentic solution in a radical approach to Jesus! The guys discuss an ecstatic joy discovered at His Cross that brings a sense of satisfaction and completeness, so we are actually able to live & love confidently. Church community, righteousness, peace, and joy, our mystical union, the presence of God, encounter, bliss, measureless favor, and a happy God; in this podcast, the fellas get down to the serious business of joy. QUOTES “In the Western Church, in some ways, we are afraid of spirituality.” “Cessationism isn’t based on an experience it’s based on something you haven’t experienced yet.” “God is happy. He is not against pleasure; He is the author of pleasure.” “Our view of Jesus is still too small.” For more on Matt Spinks Website: www.thefirehouseprojects.com Please rate, review, share, and subscribe!
