Wholehearted—Loving God With All Your Strength
Whether you’re in your 30's or your 80's, Jesus is calling you to faithfully and wholeheartedly follow him—to love him and others with all of your effort and action. You’re going to make mistakes. You’re going to do it imperfectly. There will be distractions. And, you’re not going to have it all figured out right now. That's ok! The goal of the wholehearted believer is to identify and shrink any gaps that might exist between what you say you believe and how you live. The clearer your vision of Jesus becomes, the more you will be led to give him all of your heart’s affection, soul’s devotion, mind’s attention, and all the fullness of your strength.
Listen in as Melanie and Christy talk about their own struggles to keep leaning into God when things get challenging.

Journaling/discussion prompts for today's episode:
- Close your eyes for a moment and imagine… what would it look like to release the idea that following Jesus should be easy, fast, perfect, or predictable?
- How were you encouraged today to embrace your imperfections as you aim to hold steady to Jesus?
- Read Matthew 14:22-36 and jot down any notes of what stands out most to you from the story. What did you learn about Peter? The disciples? Jesus?
- Like Peter, how might you need to ask Jesus for help today?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
