Somethin' Like Sunday School

Are you holding onto things God has told you to eliminate? In this thought-provoking episode, Purpose Williams and "The Elder" dive deep into the dangers of compromised obedience through the compelling biblical contrast between Kings Saul and David.What made David "a man after God's own heart" while Saul was rejected as king? Despite David's notorious failures, his heart remained centered on God, while Saul's heart was ultimately centered on himself. When confronted with their sins, David immediately turned to God in genuine repentance, while Saul offered excuses and prioritized saving face.The conversation introduces the "Six C's of Christian-ish" – Compromised Obedience, Copying Culture, Counterfeit Spirituality, Crafty Excuses, Condoning Sin, and Casual Repentance – warning signs that we're becoming selective about which parts of our faith we'll embrace. As Purpose notes, "Selective obedience is still disobedience," a reality that cost Saul everything.We explore how positions from God are given as gifts of grace rather than earned achievements. When we fail to steward these positions well, we essentially dethrone ourselves. The speakers share personal stories of learning to surrender harmful appetites – from coffee and soda to destructive relationships – illustrating how often what "tastes good" to us is actually causing damage.This episode offers a powerful challenge: stop keeping what you should be killing. Whether it's unhealthy attachments, sinful habits, or simply areas where God has called you to surrender, true discipleship requires complete obedience, not just the parts that feel comfortable.Take a moment today to ask yourself: What am I holding onto that God has asked me to release? Your throne may depend on your answer. Subscribe now and join us next week as we continue exploring what it truly means to follow Christ wholeheartedly.Support the showSunday Schoolers!!

Music carries a power that transcends mere entertainment—it shapes our spirits, influences our emotions, and can either draw us closer to God or lead us astray. In this soul-stirring conversation, Purpose Williams welcomes longtime friend and gospel artist Demorris Kid Sr. to explore the profound connection between faith and musical expression.Together, they dive into scripture's perspective on singing, examining how the combination of powerful words and melody creates something uniquely potent in both spiritual warfare and worship. Drawing from Psalms 71:23 and 96:1, they unpack what it means to "sing unto the Lord a new song" and how our musical choices reflect our spiritual condition.The discussion takes fascinating turns as they share personal stories about growing up in church where music was central to their faith formation. Despite sometimes resenting the long hours of choir practice and services as children, both now recognize how those experiences provided a foundation that kept them anchored even during periods of straying from formal worship.Demorris offers raw honesty about his journey as a musician, acknowledging that he hasn't always created music that edifies God. His evolution as an artist mirrors his spiritual growth, leading to a deeper understanding of his responsibility to produce content that glorifies Christ rather than simply entertaining audiences. When he describes his current approach as "letting Him come out," listeners get a glimpse of what authentic, Spirit-led creativity looks like.Perhaps most compelling is their practical advice about being discerning with musical choices—not just for ourselves but for our children. As Purpose powerfully states, "You don't feed them rotten food, do you?" The episode culminates in a live musical performance by Demorris, demonstrating his unique sound and heartfelt lyrics centered on surrender to God's will.Whether you're a musician, a worship leader, or simply someone who loves music, this conversation will challenge you to consider how your musical consumption and creation aligns with your faith. Subscribe, share, and join us in exploring how we can use the gift of music to glorify God and minister to others.Support the showSunday Schoolers!! Hope you enjoyed class!
