“Entangled!”

All the data says if you want better sleep, get rid of all electronics from your bedroom. Every trainer will tell you, if you want to lose weight, throw out all your junk food. You don’t have to be an olympic athlete to know if you want to zip through the water, you’ve got to get rid of every hair on your body if you want to be the fastest in the world.

So often, the first step to achieving our goals isn’t to add something new to our routine. It’s to get rid of whatever is slowing us down or standing in our way. And what’s true of sleep, weight loss and swimming is true of our discipleship to Jesus.

We’re kicking off our new 3-week series Lesssgoooo! by examining what the writer of Hebrews has to say about getting rid of anything and everything in our lives that is slowing us down and keeping us from living the life Jesus has called us to live.

What’s gotta go?

Make a list.

Ask a spiritual friend to help you make a list.

Pick something from the list.

Ask God to help you.

Rinse & repeat.

Pray Psalm 130:23-24.
