All In: In Over My Head - No Diving in the Shallow End - Phil McKinney (20 January 2019)

As we go "ALL IN" in our faith, we are moved to living a deeper faith. We are not satisfied with a shallow, surface kind of faith. We want to go and live deeply in Christ in every aspect of our lives. In the Casting Crowns song Somewhere in the Middle they have a line “Deep water faith in the shallow end”. That phrase sums up where many of us are in our walk with God. We are in the shallow end of the pool of life, in far enough to get a bit wet, but not out of our safety zone. We are still in the area that our feet can touch the ground. We are in control, we have yet to take the plunge and go beyond where we can stand on our own to where we need to fully trust in God for safety and protection. But we need to go deeper. We can’t spend our whole life stuck where we feel safe; otherwise we will miss out on much that God wants to do through us.
