Out of that encounter, Ryan now carries a burning word for the Body of Christ: Many believers aren\u2019t stuck because of sin\u2026they\u2019re stuck because of comfort. &amp;nbsp; In this episode, Ryan exposes the subtle danger of choosing good things instead of God things\u2014good sermons, good worship, good programs, and good church activity that never actually lead to transformation, surrender, and true discipleship. Using passages like Isaiah 43:18\u201319, Ecclesiastes 3:1, Luke 10:41\u201342, and Romans 12:2, he calls believers out of spiritual stagnation and into a lifestyle that is:  Fully surrendered to Jesus Aligned with the Word of God, not emotions or culture Willing to leave \u201cgood enough\u201d for the perfect will of God Hungry for revival, holiness, and authentic transformation  &amp;nbsp; Ryan also confronts the deception of \u201cbeing a good person\u201d as a substitute for being born again, reminds us that Heaven is not inherited by goodness but through surrender to Jesus, and challenges the Church to move from good moments to God movements that shake cities and nations. &amp;nbsp; If you\u2019ve been feeling spiritually stuck, lukewarm, or too comfortable, this message will convict, encourage, and realign your heart with the purpose and assignment God has for your life. &amp;nbsp; \ud83d\udc49 Subscribe to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast and join the movement of believers being forged for God\u2019s glory! \ud83c\udfa7 Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Destiny Image Podcast Network | EastTN TV &amp;nbsp; \u2709\ufe0f Connect with Ryan Johnson Ministries:\ud83c\udf10 Website: https:\/\/ryanjohnson.us\ud83d\udce7 Email: info@ryanjohnson.us \ud83c\udf99 Podcast: The Blacksmith Chronicles\ud83d\udcd6 Books &amp;amp; Resources: Visit our website &amp;nbsp; \ud83d\udce3 Don\u2019t Forget To: \u2705 LIKE the video \u2705 SUBSCRIBE to the channel \u2705 SHARE this episode with your community \u2705 COMMENT with your thoughts or questions&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; #BornAgainTestimony #FromGoodToGod #RevivalFire #TheGoodnessOfGod #RyanJohnsonMinistries #TheBlacksmithChroniclesPodcast #KingdomFamilyAlliance&amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.ryanjohnson.us\/theblacksmithschroniclespodcast","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39237935\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/196099210"}
