Going Deeper: Restoration (with Ryan Suzuki)

About this episode

The episode discusses the dangers of spiritual wandering and the importance of pursuing those who have drifted from the truth, following the example of Jesus.

In this episode of the 3Crosses Podcast, we unpack James 5:19–20 and the danger of slowly wandering from the truth, exploring how even small “1 degree” drifts can eventually lead us far from God and His people. We talk about what it looks like to lovingly pursue those who are wandering, following the example of Jesus, the Good Shepherd who never stops going after the lost. As we wrap up our James series and look ahead to Psalms, this conversation reminds us that living a single-minded life is not just personal — it’s about pursuing and protecting one another in community.
