122. How Can I Accept Jesus? - Group Session - January 12, 2026

Live 122. January 12, 2026. In this session, Ruthie shares a message titled “Jesus Is the Gift,” drawing from John 4 (the woman at the well) to explain why many of us struggle to receive from God—and how real change begins when we “take” first (living water) so we can truly give. The group then moves into an extended Q&A with Dr. Mark Sandoval on practical barriers to growth: intellectual vs. heart-level transformation, surrender, believing the gift, handling discouragement, compassion in the process, and what to do when you don’t feel sorrow for sin. A candid section addresses family dynamics, discipline, and becoming “awkwardly intentional” in loving actions while God reshapes the heart. Closing prayer included.
