Ever felt like being "good enough" should be enough? In this powerful XP Church message, Pastor AJ becomes “Detective AJ” to uncover a truth many of us quietly believe: that we can earn our way into heaven. Spoiler—Jesus flips that script.
If you've been grinding for spiritual achievements, thinking church attendance and good vibes are your ticket to heaven, this one’s for you. This isn’t about religion—it’s about relationship. And it’s about surrendering the idols we didn’t even realize we were holding onto.
Whether you're a seasoned Christian or spiritually curious, this message will challenge, encourage, and bring you back to the core of what Jesus actually calls us to.
