Following Vision Sunday at Menlo Church, host Matt Summers sits down with Phil EuBank to launch our new year-long journey: Reclaiming the Way of Jesus. In this episode, we dive into Week 1 of our study in James (The Mirror) to unpack what it actually means to be an Undivided Follower in a culture designed to fragment our focus, schedules, and devotion. From shifting from a \"researched faith\" to a \"reclaimed faith\" to exploring why James shifted from Jesus' skeptical brother to His servant, Matt and Phil map out how our daily habits are already forming us—and how to align our actions back to the Way of Jesus. In this episode, we discuss: Researched vs. Reclaimed Faith: Why knowledge about God isn’t enough and what it takes to recover what’s been quietly stolen from our attention and schedules. The 30,000-Foot Map: A look at the year ahead as we reclaim worship, the table, focus, and work. The James Dilemma: How proximity to Jesus doesn't equal following Him, and what James’ transformation teaches the saint, the skeptic, and the prodigal. Double-Mindedness (Dipsychos): The difference between honest doubt and trying to follow Jesus with a backup plan. Staying at the Mirror: Why prolonged reflection moves us from spiritually educated to spiritually activated. How to Use the Reclaiming Journal: Practical ways to use the new physical journal without turning it into spiritual homework.","meta_description":"Description Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast!
