Synced Living Connected to the Heart of Jesus

Jennifer Kennedy Dean “The secret to Jesus’ life of power lies in this: His heart was perfectly synced to the Father’s. He had neither action nor interest that was separate from the Father’s. Two so perfectly synchronized that they are one. Their movements correlate precisely. Their thoughts are integrated so that they are in tandem.”

I

n Synced, Jennifer Kennedy Dean shows us what living synced looks like, and how we can live connected to the heart of Jesus the same way He lived synced to the Father. An inspiring book that shows how the power of prayer looks in our ordinary lives, the author uses the Lord’s Prayer, as well as additional gospel passages, as anchor points.

Be inspired to live connected.

Faith Acts A Provocative Call To Live What You Believe

Dillon Burroughs and Jimmy Turner “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

—James 1:22
