Are You Being Built Up—or Just Impressed? Discussion Questions for 2 Corinthians 10-11: What are some "earthly weapons" people rely on today, and how do they differ from the spiritual weapons Paul describes? How do we practically "take every thought captive"? What does that look like in a day-to-day mental battle? When have you seen someone use their leadership position to build others up rather than tear them down? Why do we often fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others in life (or ministry), and what exactly can shift our focus back to God's unique calling for us? What does it mean to be "betrothed to Christ"? How does that shape our daily choices and loyalties? In what ways do "false apostles" or modern spiritual distractions pull believers away from the simplicity of Christ today? How can we discern the difference between charisma that may draw larger crowds and genuine Christ-centered power in teaching today?

Jordon GilmoreIn this message, we continue the Law of Christ series, using the Ten Commandments as a framework to explore how Jesus fulfilled the law and how we live that out today. This week focuses on the Third Commandment — “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” (Exodus 20:7).1. The Meaning Behind God's NameIn ancient Israel, the name of the Lord — Yahweh — was treated with such reverence that people refused to even say it aloud. They used titles like Adonai or Jehovah out of fear of misusing His name. Scripture shows how serious this command was: in Leviticus 24:16, blasphemy against the name of God was punishable by death.But Jordon reminds us the deeper issue wasn't just speech — it was heart posture. The Pharisees honored God outwardly but lived in contradiction to His character. The command not to take God's name in vain calls us to live lives that reflect His holiness and integrity.2. Reverence Beyond WordsTo “take the Lord's name in vain” isn't only about avoiding curse words or false oaths — it's about how we carry His name in daily life. When we call ourselves Christians, we bear His name. Every word, action, and attitude represents Him.James 5:12 echoes Jesus' teaching: let your yes be yes and your no be no — live honestly without needing oaths.The goal: a life of integrity that upholds God's name rather than misuses it.3. Why God's Name MattersTwo truths anchor our reverence:His name is holy and worthy to be praised.“O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth.” (Psalm 8:1)Jesus taught us to begin prayer with “Hallowed be Your name” (Matthew 6:9).His name carries power.“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10)Salvation and answered prayer come through His name (John 14:14; Romans 10:13).4. Living Under His NameWe are marked by His name — children of God, Christ-followers. Like a jersey with the team's name on the front, our lives should represent the One we belong to. Every interaction should reflect His character.5. Guarding Against CasualnessWe can misuse God's name by becoming too casual or irreverent — treating prayer or worship lightly, joking in holy moments, or trivializing what is sacred. Jordon challenges us to recover a sense of awe — remembering that we approach a holy God only through grace.6. The Fulfillment in ChristJesus perfectly honored the Father's name.“I have come in My Father's name.” (John 5:43)God exalted Him and gave Him “the name above every name” (Philippians 2:9–11). At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow — the ultimate fulfillment of the Third Commandment.Key Takeaway: Honoring God's name is not just about speech — it's about living in a way that reflects His holiness, truth, and power. When we bear His name, let our lives declare His worth.

Send us a textPower can know the truth and still pass the buck. We follow the path from Pilate's political sidestep to Herod's hunger for spectacle and watch how Jesus meets curiosity and malice with a charged, unsettling silence. Along the way, religious leaders amplify accusations, a crowd gathers momentum, and two rivals become friends over a shared mockery of the innocent.We dig into why Herod wanted a sign and why so many of us still chase wonders as if the gospel needed fireworks to be trusted. Drawing on the New Testament's witness, we unpack how signs validated messengers but were never meant to replace repentance or produce faith on demand. The resurrection already stands as the defining sign; making miracles the main event only hollows our devotion and turns Christ into an entertainer. That contrast comes into full view when the crowd chooses Barabbas—an insurrectionist and murderer—over the one both Pilate and Herod declare faultless.From there, we bring it home. What does it mean to stop seeking signs and become one? We talk about the ordinary miracles of transformed character, quiet obedience, and disciplined love: serving the poor, visiting the sick and imprisoned, sharing the gospel with clarity, honoring gathered worship. In a culture that may harden toward Scripture and label biblical conviction as hate, embodied holiness becomes a living testimony no algorithm can suppress. If you've ever felt tugged toward spiritual spectacle, this conversation invites you back to the steady fire of faithfulness—less sizzle, more weight.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who's wrestling with doubt or distraction, and leave a review to help others find the conversation.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
Send us a textPower rarely admits it feels threatened; it changes the charge. We walk through Luke 23 and show how a claim of divinity became a case of treason, and why the title “Son of God” meant far more than a poetic honor. The religious council could not execute for blasphemy under Roman rule, so they translated a theological claim into a political threat: taxes, kingship, and unrest. That shift wasn't a misunderstanding—it was strategy born from envy and fear of losing influence.We unpack why Jesus' declaration wasn't reckless bravado. In the first‑century Jewish context, “Son of God” pointed to shared nature with the Father, which is why the leaders called it blasphemy. If the claim were false, it would merit death; if true, it reframes everything—His authority, His miracles, and His sinless life. Pilate hears the case, asks the right questions, and initially returns a verdict that still echoes: “I find no fault in this man.” Yet the crowd escalates: he stirs the people, he teaches everywhere, he is a king. The charges morph to match Rome's anxieties, turning innocence into optics and conscience into calculation.Across the episode we connect ancient motives with modern patterns. When facts won't convict, framing will. Institutions still translate inconvenient truth into public danger, playing to the priorities of those who hold the sword. We explore how envy fuels outrage, how politics can be weaponized without a blade, and how jurisdiction becomes a game of hot potato once Galilee is mentioned. The result is a clear, grounded view of the road to the cross: not random chaos, but a deliberate path where spiritual truth collided with political expedience.If this conversation challenged or clarified your understanding, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review.

Send us a textA murderer walks free while the innocent King is nailed to a cross. That jarring contrast between Barabbas and Jesus is more than a moment in history—it's a lens on how power, religion, and politics still trade truth for convenience. We follow the pressure campaign that wore down Pilate, the uneasy alliance with Herod, and the chilling chorus that shouted for crucifixion, then ask what it means to “prevail” with God rather than with empire.We unpack the scapegoat motif, the legal theater that declared Jesus blameless yet condemned him anyway, and the deeper reason Calvary stands apart. The brutality of crucifixion was common; the worth of the One crucified was not. Only the sinless Son of God could bear the weight of our guilt. That's why the cross reveals the darkest verdict on human pride and the brightest proof of divine love. From there we turn to today, where pulpits and podiums increasingly share a stage, and where believers face a subtle test: will we let partisan zeal outrank kingdom allegiance, or will we render to God what is God's and let the gospel lead our public witness?Along the way, we name the tensions many feel during election seasons, call out the temptation to outsource conscience to worldly power, and offer a path forward rooted in prayer, humility, and fruit that lasts. The scars of Christ will mark eternity, not to shame us, but to steady our gratitude and courage. If you've felt squeezed between cultural noise and spiritual conviction, this conversation invites you to recover a clearer center: Christ first, always.If this resonated, share it with a friend, subscribe for more thoughtful, scripture-rich episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show.

FROM THE VAULT: Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Live A Life Set Apart By Christ, Part 2Series: Younique: Live A Life Set Apart By Christ Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22 Episode: 781 Scripture Summary: In Ephesians 2:11–22, Paul reminds Gentile believers that they were once separated from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel, and without hope and without God. But now, through Christ Jesus, they have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Jesus is our peace, who has broken down the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles by abolishing the law of commandments and creating one new humanity. Through Him, both groups have access to the Father by one Spirit. Paul describes the church as a holy temple, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ as the cornerstone. Together, believers are being built into a dwelling place for God.

Dr. Michael Thiessen and Pastor Nate Wright get practical about what it means to build Christian culture at the national level. Picking up from last week, they argue that freedom is only secure when it’s tethered to Christ—and then work through the “messy details” Christians must think through: covenantal nationhood, immigration and oaths, public worship, courts and penalties, and the Lord’s Day. In this conversation, they cover: * Why nations are covenantal, not merely ethnic, and why that matters for law and belonging (Ruth, Rahab, Kuyper, Rushdoony).* Immigration & citizenship: the biblical categories of sojourner/resident/citizen; why oaths to God and constitutional loyalty are essential; equal civil justice without parallel legal systems.* Public worship & free speech: protecting public order (no high places, no public idolatry or blasphemy) while safeguarding reasoned religious dispute.* Courts & penalties: replacing warehousing prisons with restitution and structured bond-service, reserving capital penalties for capital crimes.* Lord’s Day in public life: civil rest that protects worship without policing private piety.* Common objections (“Isn’t this illiberal?” “What about free speech?”) and why law is a teacher.
