Owned or Borrowed? (Adulting with Jesus 1 - Pastor Jared)

Owned or Borrowed? (Adulting with Jesus 1 - Pastor Jared)

Author: 922 Ministries May 18, 2026 Duration: 25:41

Adulting is hard. Higher pressure, a more public stage, a brain that's still developing, and a gap between your income and the life you thought you'd be living by now. In week 1 of Adulting with Jesus, Pastor walks through why this season is uniquely difficult — and why Jesus' question to His disciples cuts right to the center of it: "Who do you say that I am?"

You don't drift into a mature faith. You grow into it. There's a difference between admiring Jesus and worshiping Him — between borrowing your faith and owning it.
