Episode notes
Worship Is Intimate Devotion
- Proskuneo describes intimate, messy devotion like a dog to its master rather than a formal ritual.
- Jeff Deyo frames worship as close, affectionate surrender, not just musical performance.
Two Kinds Of God's Presence
- God's presence appears in two ways: omnipresence (always) and manifest presence (sensed).
- Deyo urges a 'both/and' view so we pursue relational encounters without denying God's constant presence.
Becoming Precedes Doing
- Becoming (identity) precedes doing (works) in the kingdom: who you are flows into what you do.
- Deyo says striving to 'do' creates false identity; pursuing relationship with God produces authentic action.
