Описание: Proximity Part 4: The Power of Your Circle | Pastor Benjamin Lehew | Grace Summit Church

In the conclusion of our "Proximity" series, Pastor Benjamin Lehew explores a vital truth: Your spiritual distance from God is often determined by your physical distance from the right people. We all want to be close to Jesus, but are we "entangled" with people who are pulling us in the opposite direction?

Following Christ isn't just a private decision; it’s a relational one. Using the biblical imagery of the "yoke" and the wisdom of Proverbs, Pastor Ben explains how to audit your inner circle, set healthy boundaries, and ensure that the voices in your life are pushing you toward your purpose rather than away from it.
In this message, we discuss:

● The Elevator Principle: Why some people in your life act as an "Up" button to your purpose, while others are a "Down" button to your potential.

● The Unequal Yoke: Understanding why being "hitched" to someone with a different destination creates constant spiritual exhaustion.

● The Pain of Pruning: Why it’s okay to feel the sting when God removes certain relationships to protect your future.

● Inner vs. Outer Circles: How to love everyone like Jesus did while guarding the "Access" to your heart.
