Podcast Title: Walking in His Word

Series: One Thing

Host: Jason Gohl

Episode Summary: In this episode of Walking in His Word, we kick off a new devotional series titled "One Thing". We explore passages where Jesus emphasizes a single focus that can transform our lives. This week, we delve into "One Thing You Lack," based on the story of the rich young ruler from Mark 10:17-31.

Key Points:

• Introduction: The series "One Thing" aims to challenge and inspire listeners to identify the single focus that may be holding them back in their spiritual journey.
• Rich Young Ruler: The story centers on a young man who appears righteous but lacks one crucial thing. Despite his obedience to the commandments, his love for wealth hinders his full devotion to Jesus.
• Jesus' Challenge: Jesus instructs the young man to sell all his possessions and follow Him, highlighting the man's attachment to his wealth as the obstacle to eternal life.
• Idolatry and Devotion: Anything loved more than the Lord can be an idol. Jesus seeks complete devotion, not partial commitment.
• Broader Application: The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and ask God what their "one thing" might be, urging them to surrender it fully to deepen their relationship with Him.

Reflection Questions:

1. What is your "one thing" that you might be holding back from God?
2. How can you surrender this area of your life to fully follow Jesus?
