What if the most important thing you could give the men in your life isn't a gift, but honor?In this Father's Day message, Pastor John Huseman shows us why honor is what Pastor Jimmy Evans calls "the mega need" of every man and how the way we speak, think, and treat the men in our lives shapes them more than we realize. Drawing from Psalm 68:4–5, Proverbs 31:23, Philippians 4:8, Ephesians 4:29, and Genesis 1, this sermon offers three practical ways to honor the men around you, plus the five words Pastor John and Lindsey have been praying over their own kids for over a decade.In this message, you'll discover:-Why honor is "like oxygen" to every man, and where men go when they don't feel it-Why letting the men in your life fail is one of the highest forms of honor-How to honor someone where you want them to be, not just where they are-What Philippians 4:8 teaches us about covering faults and focusing on strengths-The five things Pastor John and Lindsey have prayed over their kids every night for ten yearsWhether you're a dad wondering if you're making a difference, a wife looking for new ways to encourage your husband, a single mom carrying it on your own, or someone whose own father wasn't there, this message will remind you that honor changes everything, and that God is a Father to the fatherless.

1 Corinthians 14:20 challenges believers to pursue spiritual maturity by thinking with wisdom, discernment, and godly understanding. In this devotional, Whitney Hopler explores the difference between childish thinking and mature faith, reminding Christians that age alone does not produce spiritual growth. God calls His people to remain innocent regarding evil while developing the wisdom and discernment needed to navigate a world filled with competing voices, misinformation, and spiritual confusion. Highlights Spiritual maturity requires growing beyond childish patterns of thinking. God calls believers to be innocent toward evil but mature in wisdom. Prayer helps align our thoughts with God's perspective and guidance. The Holy Spirit teaches believers how to think with discernment. Wisdom involves applying God's truth to everyday decisions and challenges. Regular Bible study strengthens our ability to recognize truth and avoid deception. Mature faith responds thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively. Spiritual growth happens gradually as believers consistently seek God.

Full Transcript Below: Think Like AdultsBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking; rather, be infants in evil, but in thinking be adults.” – 1 Corinthians 14:20, NRS When my late mother was living in a retirement home, she dated a man who also lived there. Women far outnumbered men in Mom’s community, and out of the few men who lived there, Mom’s boyfriend was the only one who could still walk unassisted. Not only that, but he could still drive! Some of the women there were happy for Mom, but many of her neighbors excluded her from events and gossiped about her and her boyfriend. “That’s so immature!” I complained when Mom told me about it. “They’re acting like a bunch of jealous high school girls. I thought they would know better at their age.” Mom just smiled and said something I’ll always remember: “Reaching a certain age doesn’t guarantee reaching maturity.” In 1 Corinthians 14:20, the Bible reminds us that spiritual maturity in the way we think is important. It points out that we should stay far away from sin by being as innocent as infants toward evil. That way, we can stay pure and sensitive to God. But at the same time, this verse urges us to think like adults. Adults are meant to be mature, thinking carefully and wisely. God wants us to use the amazing minds he has given us. He doesn’t want us to accept every idea without examining it, or follow every voice we hear without first considering if it’s credible. We shouldn’t be reacting to situations immaturely. Instead, we should grow spiritually mature by seeking God and developing discernment to recognize what comes from God and what doesn't. When we think like adults, we can ask questions about any situation to help us adopt the perspective God wants us to have on it. Instead of asking what we want, we can ask what God wants, and instead of asking what’s easiest, we can ask what’s right. This kind of thinking grows as we walk with God, and prayer is an important part of that growth. When we pray, we invite God into our thoughts and decisions. Prayer slows us down so we can connect with God’s presence with us. Then, we can listen to whatever God is trying to tell us and perceive those messages more clearly than we could if we weren’t giving God our full attention. As we pray, we can ask God’s Holy Spirit to work within us. Then, we’ll develop the wisdom we need to say and do whatever is best in any situation we face. Wisdom is more than knowledge. Knowledge tells us facts, but wisdom helps us know how to live like God wants us to live. When we pursue wisdom by asking the Holy Spirit to guide our thinking, we can learn how to recognize what’s actually true versus the lies that spread in this fallen world. We can also learn how to make the best choices, even in the most challenging circumstances. The Holy Spirit serves as our teacher throughout this journey. The more the Spirit shows us how to think like adults, the more we learn to stop reacting to situations like children and to start responding to them wisely, by carefully considering our choices. Along the way, we’ll make mistakes, but God is patient with us as we grow. Just like a child slowly matures into adulthood, our mature thinking develops step by step. Each time we read the Bible, pray for guidance, or seek advice from a wise believer, we take another important step toward mature thinking. Maturity matters! Far too many people are becoming confused and deceived by messages spreading in this world from unreliable sources. As we grow in mature thinking, we become stronger in our faith and better able to help other people. We can point the way to what’s really true and give people the real hope they need. So today, let’s ask God to help us think like adults and grow to become spiritually mature in the process. Together, we can keep learning to think with God’s wisdom. Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how important it is for you to think with spiritual maturity, reflect on these questions: In what ways do you sometimes approach your faith with childish thinking rather than mature understanding? How can prayer help you develop wisdom and clearer thinking? What voices or influences in your life might distract you from God’s truth? How can reading the Bible regularly strengthen your ability to discern what’s right? What’s one step you can take this week to grow in spiritual maturity?

Tap here to send us a message!Pride opens a gate that leads to destruction, conflict, and separation from the presence of God, while humility invites His grace and favor into the heart. The battle against pride begins within, where strongholds, attitudes, and self exaltation must be brought into submission to the Spirit of God. True strength is found in humility, for God lifts up those who are willing to lower themselves before Him and walk in meekness and obedience.05/07/2026 - Thursday NightScriptures:Proverbs 17:191 Peter 5:5Proverbs 15:1, 29:8II Corinthians 10:4-6Isaiah 57:15Matthew 11:29I Peter 5:5-7Proverbs 16:18Proverbs 6:16-19Luke 14:11

What I meant to say was John 2:24-25.I accidentally added the word "and" to 1 Peter 4:10-11. It didn't change the meaning, but here is the verse verbatim: "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever.

This devotional highlights the importance of intentional, Christ-centered community—not perfect people, but faithful ones who pursue Jesus together. Even when relationships feel messy or uncomfortable, God uses them to strengthen our faith, bring healing, and encourage us in ways we can’t experience on our own. If you’re in a season without a church community, this is an invitation to reflect, rebuild, and take one step toward the relationships God has prepared for you. Highlights Church community can be difficult to build, especially after past hurt, busy seasons, or constant life changes Genuine Christian relationships require vulnerability, trust, and letting go of self-protection Healing from church wounds is possible—and often leads to deeper, more meaningful community later You don’t need perfect people—you need people who genuinely pursue Jesus, even imperfectly Strong community isn’t found by accident; it’s built through intentional investment and consistency Even Jesus modeled the importance of close, faith-centered relationships during His ministry Community won’t replace God, but it strengthens and supports your faith in every season Identifying what’s holding you back is the first step toward building the relationships God has for you This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

Jobs and dreams pulled us all over the place, back and forth across the country. But while this wild newlywed season was beautiful, it left little time for us to invest in a church community. Many believers are left without a church community this Easter, whether caused by time and location constraints, old church wounds, or a tried but failed attempt to find “their” people. Relationships can be complicated, awkward, and intimidating to navigate, especially for Christian adults who are encouraged to develop vulnerability and share their faults and fears with others. Church community—the healthy kind—requires an unguarded trust in others, a release of self-preservation and appearances, but it’s in this uncomfortable place that our pride dies and our souls find the encouragement to continue in the faith when the days are dark and lonely. Granted, I understand the skepticism of opening up to others in the church, especially as someone who once had a bitter taste in her mouth for any assembly that remotely resembled the unhealthy church I grew up in. However, on the other side of my church hurt, after lots of therapy and answered prayers as my husband and I settled into a church community to raise our sons, I can say, wholeheartedly, that you need a church community. You don’t need “your” people. You need Jesus people who messily, openly, sacrificially love Him. In finding those believers—and in becoming one of them—you find a community you can lean on in all seasons, even when the spiritual high of holidays like Easter and Christmas fades. My church has a saying, “You don’t stumble upon great Christian community; you create it.” So no matter how many fair-weather churchgoers come and go in this religious Easter season, no matter your past hurt or the present inconveniences that make community easy to avoid, I challenge you to invest your heart and faith in others. Jesus’ earthly ministry was short, only three years, but even He recognized the need for godly friendships and fellowship with others, calling twelve men to quite literally travel and live with Him. If Jesus recognized the need for a Christian community, who are we to disregard His example in this resurrection season centered on life, love, and sacrifice for others? Intersecting Faith & Life: When my husband and I met, we were both Christians, but both of us had been deeply, deeply wounded by the church. Legalism kept me tethered to weekly attendance, all out of fear, but my husband’s personal hurt had driven him completely away from church. When we met, and I mandated his church attendance if he wanted to continue dating me, he admitted it was the first time he had set foot in a church in roughly five years. Today, we are life group leaders for seven young families in our church. It’s funny, and often ironic, how God not only heals us, but calls us to the places we thought we could never navigate again. God defies the impossible, even in our finite bodies, if we are willing and able to get uncomfortable and be molded for His purposes. Meanwhile, though my husband and I have come a long way in establishing a church community for ourselves and our sons, we understand how hard it is to sustain these relationships. Jesus people are still people, and their flaws and your flaws combined won’t make for perfect friendships. Church community won’t save you. It won’t even sustain you, at least not on its own. But when you dig your heels in deep and choose to love others because God dug His heels in deep to save and sustain you, despite all your wrongdoings, you find that His resurrection hope lasts far longer than the Easter season. You realize that His ability, through you, to be long-suffering towards sinners is what makes life worth living. If you aren’t part of a church community, find some quiet time to take personal stock in why. Has your life season been overwhelmingly busy? Has the church hurt you? Did you try one or two different small groups or Bible studies that simply felt impersonal or off? Recognize your why, but allow this newfound understanding to challenge you to step up, get uncomfortable, and relentlessly pursue the godly relationships God has in store for you. I promise, you won’t regret it.

Y'all asked, and I'm delivering! So many of you wanted a dedicated episode on why “be a blessing” is our family motto and how we practically apply it in our home and community at large. As always, we go back to Scripture as our guide for any phrases or intentions we choose to focus on, and there are plenty of examples of what it means to look outside ourselves for the purpose of blessing others all throughout God's Word. I pray this episode helps you to think through the focus you'd like your own family to have and the biblical “why”behind it!

Tap here to send us a message!The more we study the Word, the more we see that nothing is accidental and every story, every life, every moment fits into a larger purpose. What was once shadow in the Old Testament became substance in the New, even though those who lived it didn't yet understand what God was doing. In the same way, we must learn to trust God in the middle of our process, not just when we can finally see how it all worked together for our good.06/29/2025 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:Isaiah 40:1-5John 5:39Romans 5:14Psalm 69:20-21Luke 24:15-16, 21, 27, 30-32Like 24:25-26I Corinthians 13:12Genesis 13:14-17Judges 1:6Joshua 1:1-3, 9Joshua 6:1-2Isaiah 40:1-5Proverbs 4:18II Timothy 4:6-7

We are losing sight of the simplicity of the gospel message, and we've got to get back to the basics. In this episode, Jackie and Preston discuss why it is that we don't focus enough on Jesus' redemptive work on the cross. Our sin is a big reason. We forget about God's wrath and why we need to be saved in the first place. We get caught up in a works-based idea of sanctification. The truth of the gospel becomes uninteresting as we seek greater understanding or deeper knowledge. We can also go through the spiritual disciplines – like time in the Word or prayer – without truly abiding in Christ. All of these scenarios overcomplicate our view of the cross, and it's time we talk about it.This Episode is Sponsored By: https://fieldofgreens.com — Get 20% off and free shipping with code PERRY at checkout! https://weekendtoremember.com — Get $100 off when you use code PERRY at checkout! Resources:"The Cross of Christ" by John StottPaul Washer's 7-part sermon series, “Freedom in The Gospel” Scripture references:Galatians 6:141 Corinthians 2:1-5Proverbs 9:10John 13:34John 15:3-52 Peter 1:3-9Jeremiah 25:15Romans 3:22-26Romans 8:9-112 Corinthians 4:7-10 Subscribe to the Perrys' newsletter.To support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal.www.withtheperrys.comboldapparel.shopwww.jackiehillperry.comwww.preston-perry.com

Send us a textThis was originally released as a Patrons Bonus Episode on the 27th May2o24 on Patreon.Follow me on;|Episode Summary: In this episode, I explore the contentious intersections between modern and postmodern philosophies, considering Slovenian philosopher, Slavoj Žižek's critiques, along side my interpretation of the biblical concept of wisdom. We look at how these world views interact and challenge one another, particularly in the context of contemporary societal issues.Key Concepts:Modernism: A 20th-century movement emphasizing experimentation, abstraction, and subjective experience across various fields including literature, visual arts, music, philosophy, politics, and social issues. It arose from a sense of alienation from traditional morality and social norms.Postmodernism: An intellectual stance characterized by scepticism towards both religion as well as scientific rationalism and objective reality. It questions all "grand narratives", rejects stable meanings, and emphasizes relativism and pluralism.Slavoj Žižek: A Slovenian philosopher known for his work on ideology, Marxism, political theory, psychoanalysis, culture, and theology. He is critical of the contemporary appropriation of the term "wisdom.Biblical Wisdom: Rooted in Scripture, biblical wisdom I content is a divine gift characterized by moral purity and spiritual discernment. It transcends human understanding and emphasizes a deep, ongoing relationship with God.Main Discussion Points:Biblical Perspective on Wisdom:Tension Between Worldly and Divine Wisdom:Postmodernism vs. Biblical Wisdom:Modern Social Issues and Biblical Morality:Critique of Simplified Morality:Superficial Engagement and True Transformation:The Role of Ideologies:Christian Call to Authenticity:Conclusion: By engaging with complex philosophical and moral questions through the lens of biblical wisdom, we can seek deeper understanding and live more meaningful lives. This episode encourages listeners to explore these intersections critically and thoughtfully, always seeking to align their understanding with God's eternal truths.Scripture References:James 3:171 Corinthians 1:20-22Proverbs 3:5-6Colossians 2:3Isaiah 5:20Matthew 22:37-392 Corinthians 13:5Proverbs 2:3-52 Peter 3:18Genesis 1:27Galatians 3:281 John 1:8Revelation 3:15-16James 2:17Isaiah 58:6Ephesians 6:12John 8:32Matthew 7:3-51 Corinthians 3:192 Timothy 3:5Matthew 6:24Matthew 7:26-27Isaiah 55:2Matthew 23:27-28Matthew 6:24Proverbs 3:5-6John 14:6Matthew 23:24Matthew 6:24Matthew 5:6Support the showFor an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

WEEK 3: HIS WISDOM IS PERFECTJoseph: In God's HandsBeholding the Perfect Sovereignty of GodIn today's message, we're reminded that God's wisdom is not only perfect—it's generously available to those who ask. As we walk through Genesis 40, we find Joseph once again in a place of trial, falsely accused and confined in prison. But even here, God is orchestrating events with sovereign precision. Through Joseph's encounter with Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, we see how God's wisdom breaks through confusion, provides clarity, and sets the stage for redemption.Key Takeaways:God's wisdom is perfect, even in seasons of suffering.Joseph demonstrates mature faith by depending on God rather than trying to figure things out on his own.True spiritual growth means becoming more dependent on the Lord, not more independent.Like Joseph, we can cry out for wisdom in our pain and uncertainty—because God promises to give it generously (James 1:5).God is the Author of your story. There is an answer key—and He holds it.Whether you're facing confusion, waiting on a breakthrough, or walking through deep pain, today's message reminds us to stop striving for answers on our own and instead depend fully on the God who never leaves us without direction.Related Scriptures for Study:Genesis 40:1–13James 1:5Proverbs 3:5–6Isaiah 55:8–9If you're weary, uncertain, or desperate for clarity, don't walk alone. Ask God. Seek His face. His wisdom is for you today.

The time offline was good and at times “profoundly boring,” but as they re-engage with social media, they've got some thoughts.The Perrys discuss what scripture has to say about our character, and how Christians ought to be on social media because of what the Bible says.

Proverbs has much to say about instilling a "Proverbs work ethic" in your sons. It's one of the greatest gifts you can give them, for it will be quite difficult for them to succeed in life without it. This work ethic is typically described as being diligent. It is often contrasted with being lazy, and these people are called sluggards. Yuck!. What a terrible word!

King Solomon had immense wealth, but he taught his son that some things are more important than money. We would do well to follow that same advice and teach it to our sons.

Success Is In The Making, For All Who Are Not FakingScripture References:John 14:1-14Key Points:1.  When we align ourselves with God The Father and The Lord Jesus Christ, we get direct access to the Oe who knows best, who will clean up our mess and grant success. Matthew 6:33Deuteronomy 8:18Genesis 39:1-62.  After Jesus removes the spiritual blinders, our eyes will become successful story finders.Psalm 1:1-63.  To break the curse and be a winner, from your circle remove the unrepentant sinner and join Jesus for dinner. Revelation 3:20Psalm 37:1-5Proverbs 3:9-10Luke 16:10-134.  God will bless us with money to use as a tool, but anyone refusing to return the blessing is not cool, because God will not trust you with greater things to rule.Deuteronomy 28:1-14

There's a dangerous saying I've heard well-meaning believers utter while trying to evangelize unbelievers. "Some people think the Bible is just a book of rules," they say. "Actually, the Bible is all about a relationship with God."This statement can be very appealing to the natural man living in rebellion against God, but is it true?Join us for today's  Daily Word & Prayer to learn moreScripture Used in Today's Message2 Timothy 2:5Proverbs 22:1Have you read my book, "Takin' it to Their Turf"?If not, you may request a copy on my website, www.TomthePreacher.comWe send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.TomthePreacher.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

What I meant was that in their mind there is a disconnect because they couldn't seem to see (or they refused to see) the connection.Proverbs 19:3 has an even broader application than just how I used it in this episode. For example, it could also refer to a person who was aware of the consequences of their actions and yet expected God to shield them from those consequences nonetheless.Support the showIf you feel so led, you can support the podcast by clicking HERE or by clicking the "Support the show" button above.
