JESUS AS THE CORNERSTONE: How to Build a Life Around Him

What happens when we make Jesus just another part of our lives instead of the Cornerstone everything else is built upon?

In Episode 7 of The Overtime Podcast, Pastor Chris Perstrope and Darren Casper explore what it means to build a truly SENT life around Jesus Christ.

Drawing from 1 Peter 2:6, we explore how following Jesus means more than adding Him to our finances, relationships, careers, and plans. It means allowing Him to shape every part of who we are and how we live.

We talk about recalibrating our lives when we drift from God's purpose, seeking His Kingdom above our own, and learning to make decisions that reflect Jesus' heart. From navigating money and relationships to dealing with shame, confronting sin with love, and living on mission in our workplaces, this conversation challenges us to put Jesus back at the center.

Because a life built around anything other than Christ will eventually get out of alignment.

BIG IDEA: A truly SENT life is built around the Cornerstone of the person of Jesus Christ.

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” — 1 Peter 2:6

Jesus isn't meant to be another brick in the wall. He is the Cornerstone. When we build our lives around Him, our priorities change, our decisions align with His Word, and our greater purpose becomes bigger than ourselves.
