awakening, honesty, action : the God moment that changes everything

We've all had "aha!" moments in our lives, times when a sudden revelation surprises us with insight. According to pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman, we can experience this same kind of "aha!" in our spiritual lives. With everyday examples and trademark testimonies, Idleman draws on Scripture to reveal how three key elements can draw us closer to God and change our lives for good. Awakening to the reality of our true spiritual condition, we see ourselves and our need for a Savior with renewed honesty. This realization leads to action, obeying God's commands and following the example set by Christ. As we see in the transformation of the prodigal son, the result is a life-changing, destiny-altering collision, an AHA moment that leads us home to our loving Father

The distant country -- Part 1. Sudden awakening. Coming to your senses ; A desperate moment ; A startling realization -- Part 2. Brutal honesty. Talking to yourself ; Denial: if I ignore it, maybe it will go away ; Projection: it's not my fault, so it's not my responsibility ; Minimize: it's not that big of a deal -- Part 3. Immediate action. Time to get up ; Passivity: I'm sure everything will work itself out ; Procrasination: I'll get to it later ; Defeatism: it's too late now ; Lost in the Father's House: the final AHA
