I first heard of C.J. Mahaney when I heard a sermon by Josh Harris called "Humble Orthodoxy." In this sermon, Josh shared how C.J. trained and mentored him and C.J. and the church, more or less, then gave the pastorate to him. My buddy was talking to me about this on how few pastors really mentor and train the younger generation of pastors and give them opportunity to grow and fail and succeed. This was a really cool example and so I was immediately impressed by him. And then I heard this sermon. Wow! I am tempted to put this sermon on every day this week. A must hear for new believers, old believers and everyone in between. Heartfelt, funny, compelling... I wish I had heard this sermon in college. So much pain I could have saved myself and judging others and pride and despair and depression...Great message. Life changing message.
