What if the biggest thing keeping us from experiencing the supernatural isn’t that God stopped moving — but thatwe’ve stopped expecting Him to? As we open our new series, The Unusual, Austin makes the case that we canbelieve in Jesus and still carry a version of Him that’s too small.
He starts with Thomas Jefferson, who literally took scissors and a razor to his Bible and cut out every miracle — abook that ends with a grave closed. The challenge: most of us have done something similar, not with scissors, but byquietly removing the miraculous from what we expect. From there, Austin walks through three heart postures Scriptureshows in the people who received miracles: honor (how we see and value Jesus), faith (believing He can and that Hewants to), and hunger (how badly we want Him). Along the way — Nazareth’s familiarity that shut down the miracles,the Roman officer whose faith moved Jesus, and four friends who dug through a roof to get their friend to Jesus. Thisisn’t a formula for a miracle. It’s an invitation to stop expecting so little.
