Send us a textThis is an interview with Author and Speaker Matthew J. Wolak. When I was first introduced to him, I wasn't too sure about the topic. I have had past issue with people working through father wounds. I know, sounds horrible, but I'll explain. After speaking to Matthew prior to the interview, I was really taken back by the approach he took. It's definitely a different spiritual approach that I can agree with and get behind. It's such a great book and something that everyone can relate to. Sometimes we think about father wounds as just a son and dad issue, but it is definitely bigger than that. Women are affected by father wounds, and all of these tools, he speaks about can be used with many other types of wounds, to grandparents, to friends etc. We hope you enjoy this episode and grow more to understand the love of your one TRUE FATHER!!Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us a text"Welcome back to 1LoveHTX, where we dive deep into the Bible with a whole lot of laughs and a fresh perspective! In today's episode, we're tackling one of the most iconic stories of all time—the serpent in the Garden of Eden. We've all heard the tale of the sneaky snake tempting Eve, but did you know that the Hebrew text paints this creature a little differently? It's not just a snake—it's something much shinier.Join Daniel and Duffy as they unpack why we've come to see the tempter as a snake and explore how other parts of the Bible are written. We'll break down the symbolism, laugh a bit, and dive into what this story can really teach us—without the churchy stiffness. Whether you're a Bible scholar or just curious about the ancient text, this episode is sure to leave you thinking—and maybe even laughing out loud.So grab a coffee, kick back, and let's get into it!"Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us a textIn Matthew the 22nd chapter, there is a story of a great interaction with Jesus. It says “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' If we love the God with all of our heart, soul and mind, how then is it possible that we wouldn't love others as ourselves?The Bible is full of thoughtful interactions, just like this one with Jesus and the religious people of his day. Jesus was an incredibly perfect example of God's love for us. If we are to take him at his word, then we will grow in love for God. Then, out of that love, we will naturally love other people.  Will we do it perfectly? NO….But Jesus literally loved us to death…. His own death on the cross. Man, that is always hard to wrap our head around. Much less our heart. Millions and millions of people have been impacted by Christ death on the cross. Few have died for the cause. Join us as we discuss our own process of being a Christ follower and  what it means to love others because we love God. This is gonna be a good one.

Send us a textHave you ever seen a great movie where the main character takes a chance and then something incredible develops? We all wish we had that kind of courage- to go “All-In” and put it ALL on the line. We are obsessed with these ideas in movies. We love watching it play out. Our faith in God is challenged constantly in this same way. God is constantly inviting us to trust him.  Trust his word. Receive wisdom. Get perspective that only he can give. He actually refers to it as “the Narrow path” In this episode we are discussing PRAYER, but more on a relational and conversation level with "God the Father". The simple definition of prayer is, “time spent conversing with God”. We are invited to pray over all things. Jesus gave devoted time to prayer, and miracles happened as a result. We know prayer can give fresh perspective and direction, change our hearts and give us courage. The more time we devote to the activity of prayer, the stronger we become spiritually. Come listen in on this discussion.   PRAYER- our conversation with God and spiritual practice is so misunderstood and underused. We are here to learn how to lean into it and grow stronger. Thanks for listening. Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

Peter is given true revelation about his own death! Seriously….What would you do?? Jesus told him what was going to happen, and it wasn't cotton candy and unicorns. Jesus follower were loyal even into their own deaths. The time they spent with Jesus motivated them to speak the life changing truth of Jesus to as many people as they could. Christ disciples were amazing, courageous, devoted world changers. Are you devoted to anything ?There are 2 guarantees in life, our death and eternal life…. Somewhere. The good news is, where you spend eternity is completely your choice.(If you don't believe that, we are even more pumped you're listening in.)The ones who knew Jesus intimately sure believed it; and were willing to give their lives so we could have eye witness accounts of the greatest human who ever walked the earth. Jesus!What amazing hope he brings. No matter where we are in life, we all have access to this kind of hope….a belief in something so much greater than anything we can experience or fathom here on earth, Let's go!  This message is truly for anyone, no matter what you believe. We hope it will bring you some sense of security and direction!

Send us a Text Message.The Bible reflects the character of God in many ways. Sometimes thru  descriptive text passages, and sometimes we learn thru stories of people encountering Jesus, angels or miracles. The book of Joshua chapter 5:13-14 says something interesting. 13) Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”14) “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?” Did you catch it? The subtle point that the Lord told Joshua he was not on his side or anyone else's!We have been losing sight of that characteristic of God for centuries. God does not belong to anyone .In today's culture, a great deal of time is spent declaring what side we're on, talking about who we are, or what we stand for. It's exhausting! There seems to be endless opinions without absolute truth. This story in Joshua can help align our mind, heart, eyes and spirit to what truly matters …… God plan and His Will. Are you interested?Come join us as Duffy and Daniel wade thru our very turbulent waters, but hope to help bring clarity to one and all. We hope to challenge you if you're a believer and most importantly talk about the deep love of God for us all!!That means YOU!Thanks for hanging out.

Throughout history, even people who didn't believe Jesus was the son of God would agree that he was an amazing teacher, and lover of people. As true followers of Christ we constantly try to teach ourselves to be like him in this way… Lovers of people, all people. Sadly, this is also the area we fail miserably.  Today we talk about how to overcome the obstacles we naturally face when we're trying to grow in our ability to love other people. Like that really old song your grandma likes…  “ what the world needs now is love”By Hal DavisOr “All you need is love” by John Lennon and countless other songs hoping to get the message across. People have observed our world is in desperate need of more love. Ultimately our Creator God wants us to love each other too. Check out these words from the book of 1Corinthians 13 :1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecyand can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b]but do not have love, I gain nothing.4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. God sent Jesus in love for us. So come check out the conversation , we hope you'll grow with us.Support the Show.Check out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

Have you ever tried to order a pizza with more than two people? It's hard to agree on what toppings to pick. Free will and opinions are great features God gave us as humans and not to oversimplify it, but religion is kind of like pizza. There are many different religions throughout the world. All of them have the same goals to reach some higher being. So how do we interact with people who don't agree with our pursuit of God. Sadly, sometimes we ostracize and criticize people. Have you ever heard two people arguing about religion? It's weird, but it can get pretty nasty out there. Why? How do we handle it? Why do we always feel we need to be right? Isn't the Lord big enough to take care of the details. Today we're going to talk about all of this. Our hope is to promote a healthier way of representing God. After all, Jesus said “love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and love others as yourself”. So grab a piece of pizza and settle in, we're delivering this one right to you!

Think about this…our experiences with our fathers will influence our  opinions of God. Even the greatest Dads can't measure up to God our Heavenly Father!If you have a good relationship with God and really know His character you'll agree. Sadly, That's not always the case, I myself put God in a box, assuming he was displeased with me and unconcerned, until I was overcome by His love. My understanding of his character grows daily. So let talk it over. Is God a  good or bad Father? Why doesn't he intervene in the state of our world? Why do we suffer  through traumatic experiences?There is a tension we all wrestle through with God. We say this with conviction, you are very loved! We will tackle some tough questions today.

“Dead Man Walking” is a gripping film exploration of the death penalty and compassion. In the movie, which is based on a true story, a nun becomes the spiritual advisor to the inmate on death row. Throughout the movie, there is a tension hanging as they become friends. As you watch the plot unfold, your mind wrestles with being compassionate towards the inmate….What's this got to do with the podcast?We have an INTERNAL judge and jury constantly monitoring our mind and heart. Depending on our circumstances, we may condemn ourselves frequently over daily life choices and experiences.  We can be pretty brutal towards ourselves. Solitary confinement and negative self talk can convince us we are unworthy of love, friendship, and community. It can be an impermeable barrier between ourselves and humanity; as well as completely cutting us off from God. Listen in as we talk through all the ways this effects our lives. Isaiah 61:1 is a scripture about Jesus…“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,    because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”Spoiler alert….Your cell door is unlocked! Push it open and run out!!God loves you!We are so glad you're listening. Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

Back again…. We love having Duffy share his insight from The Westcliffe Climb. Today's episode examines Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday, the Last Supper that took place that evening, and what all of this means for our lives. Let's Deep Dive with Duffy!Luke 22:14-38Exodus 6:6b-8Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

“Believe Me!“ is a statement we have heard or said many times in our lives. It's usually connected to a sales pitch or recommendation, so naturally we may have some hesitation. Jesus says in many places throughout the Bible “believe IN me”That isn't a sales pitch it's a call to faith with an unmeasurable reward. We receive our salvation through belief, our comfort, wisdom, faith, and many other things. Come hang out with us today. We love this topic and plot twist….We are still growing in our faith and belief too. It's a life long process we based this podcast on. We are so glad your here!Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

Welcome back to Duffy's Brain as he continues from last week's episode on "Buying Heaven"! Listen in as Duffy talks about forgiveness, grace, and the dumpster fire of lives! There is nothing out of reach of redemption from God. There are so many of us who have gotten it wrong because of upbringings and mis-teachings! We have an identity and promises. We are sons and daughters that can ask for forgiveness out of relationship, not out of transaction. We have no idea how much grace is available and it has all already been paid for! Let's get down to business.....come have a listen! Matthew 6:12; Romans 6:3-6, 22-23; Romans 8:1-4, 14-17, 38-39; Luke 17:3-4Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

Salvation -what is it, what are we being “saved” from? What do I have to do to be saved? All questions we may have heard or even wrestled with in our lifetime. The Bible tells us, Salvation is the greatest miracle and it is available to every single person on earth! We ALL can literally be a part of the greatest miracle!So what's the problem??? Our brain and behavior as a human race is completely jacked up sometimes. We love to complicate things by misinterpreting or adding things to the very simple message  and perfect message…..What do I have to do to be saved? Believe!Come hang out while we examine our experiences with this miracle. We are really glad you're joining us! ✌️ Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

On this Deep Dive, Duffy picks up where we left off after interviewing our friend Paula who escaped from being a witch and being tormented by demonic activity. In this episode, Duffy interviews Andry Randrianasolo  a PhD student, Malagasy Pastor and commissioned exorcist! Now it's getting DEEP!!!Madagascar has a disproportionately high level of overt demonic activity and the two will discuss how: - seeking spiritual shortcuts to get answers outside of Jesus is demonic - Seeking out the dead is demonic- Addictions, habits trauma can be on-ramps  to demonic activity and oppression in our livesAnd most of all, how “Jesus Christ of Nazareth” is a feared name in this realm.As usual, there is never a dull moment here at the 1LoveHTX podcast and our partner Josh Duffy of the Westcliffe Climb!

Seriously, the title says it all! One of our favorite things to do on the podcast is listen to our friends tell their stories. Today we are excited to introduce you to Paula Osbourne from the UK. She has been a great supporter of the podcast from the very beginning. The Bible tells us salvation is the greatest miracle. When our spiritual eyes are finally open,  everything becomes so clear. Paula actually walked away from witchcraft first, because the connection became unappealing and scary. Then, God  showed her how much he loved her and how he had been pursuing her since the beginning.  She responded to him exactly how she was, honestly and with her whole heart. We can't wait to share this very special guest with you. (And yes, Michael Jackson is a part of her story!!)Thank you for stopping by. We'd love to hear from you with a message or review!Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

Duffys back on Episode 56 as he dissects the SQUIRREL episode. There were some crazy moments he threw Daniel off with, as he dove into his Rolodex of info and is going deeper into the life of Solomon and more. Here is a little hint of more…..”Evil, corruption, Solomon and Jesus's dark family tree”….. Did we get your attention? Duffys notes:  1 Kings 11:4-11Revelation 13:18 1 Kings 10:14 2 Kings 21:6 2 Chron 28:1-4 Matthew 1:6-16Jeremiah 22:28-30Remember to come visit Pastor Duffy at Pilgrim Church in Houston if you are ever looking for a great knowledge filled Sunday and a true “come as you are church!” Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org

Giants, UFOS, conspiracy theories; there is no shortage of distractions in our everyday lives. Just like the current in a rain swollen river, they can sweep you down quickly and take over your thoughts. There is nothing wrong with being informed of truth, but there is so much nonsense out there,  how do you keep from being overwhelmed? In this episode Duffy and Daniel discuss how staying connected to God can give you peace and clarity. John 14:27 Jesus says“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”Come hang out for awhile our hope is something you hear might give you strength. Support the showCheck out what's happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved. www.1LoveHTX.org
