How Do I Put God First When Life Keeps Pulling Me Away? Episode 144

How do you put God first when work, money, distractions, and the desire for approval keep competing for your attention? Author Drew Reitzel joins me for an honest conversation about spiritual drift, divided priorities, and his book, You Can’t Serve Two Masters: Undivided Allegiance to Christ in an Age of Cultural Compromise. Drew shares a powerful story about getting out of the ocean and discovering he had drifted a mile from where he started. His question, “How did I get here?” becomes a picture of how small choices can gradually pull us away from God. But those choices can also lead us back. In this conversation, we explore: • Recognizing what is competing with God for first place • How good things can become misplaced priorities • Following Christ when obedience feels uncomfortable • Speaking truth with love and kindness • Repentance without living in shame • Taking your next faithful step, one day at a time Whether you’ve walked with God for years, feel distant from your faith, or have questions about returning, this episode invites you to examine your priorities and begin where you are today.
