In this powerful third message of the Scooting Closer to Jesus series, Tony invites us to examine the spaces we allow to grow between our hearts and the heart of Christ. Using the picture of two people on a porch swing drifting apart over time, this message lovingly shows that while we may move, Jesus never does — and He continually calls us nearer.

Through vivid storytelling, biblical truth, and moving personal testimony, Tony reveals how our “inner compass” — broken by sin and weakened by self — can only be restored by Jesus, who is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” This message beautifully unpacks those three declarations of Christ, showing how each one heals the confusion, chaos, and emptiness of the human condition. Whether you feel miles away or just an elbow-length from His presence, this message invites you to take one more gentle scoot toward the Savior who restores, leads, frees, and brings life. Be encouraged — every small move toward Jesus brings great joy and lasting change.
