From Pride parades to witch festivals, Gabriel Storm isn't afraid to take the gospel into the darkest and most hostile places. In this powerful interview, he shares what it's like to preach Christ where most believers would never dare to go. You'll hear raw stories of boldness, spiritual warfare, and the reality of carrying the light of Jesus into places filled with resistance.
Augustine wisely argued that pride is the root of all sin. That's a solid interpretation of biblical teaching but is that all there is to be said on the matter? Obviously not. We know that there are good people in our daily lives. We tell our daughters, when they are looking for a husband, to find a good man. We know people in our daily lives—jobs, workplaces, churches—who are pleasant, who have an excellent demeanor. Acts 11 describes Barnabas as good man. Were the apostles wrong to so describe him? Mark and I work through different elements of what it means to be good and include angles like salvation and goodness, the different directions in life toward balance, whether Jesus in saying "take up your cross and follow me" meant we should kill the self, and the different thresholds for determining unhealthy pride. Mark recounts pride of homeownership. Ed recounts having spoken about self-esteem at a college women's dorm floor meeting. Come, think and laugh with us about pride and the Christian worldview.
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to William Childress from Clanton, AL. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 12:5-6. And the Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me go over," the men of Gilead said to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" When he said, "No," they said to him, "Then say Shibboleth," and he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it right. Then they seized him and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time 42,000 of the Ephraimites fell. — Judges 12:5-6 The pride-fueled conflict between Ephraim and Gilead spiraled into devastation. At the Jordan River crossings, men were identified by a single word—"Shibboleth." Ephraim's inability to pronounce it exposed them, and 42,000 were slaughtered. This wasn't just a loss of numbers; it was a loss of brothers. Israel's strength was drained not by foreign invaders, but by internal division. Pride always extracts a heavier toll than we imagine. Pride blinds us. It convinces us that winning the argument, defending our ego, or holding the grudge is worth it. But pride always takes more than it gives. For Ephraim, it cost 42,000 lives. For us, pride may not take thousands, but it can destroy marriages, split churches, fracture friendships, and poison families. The irony is, pride promises control but always delivers destruction. It tricks us into thinking we're winning when we're really losing. It makes us fight battles we never needed to fight and leaves scars we never needed to carry. Pride robs marriages of peace, friendships of trust, churches of unity, and leaders of influence. But humility does the opposite. It restores what pride destroys. It creates peace, strengthens relationships, and builds trust where pride would tear it down. Don't wait until pride costs you everything to discover it's not worth the price. Choose humility now—before pride takes what you can never get back. The cost of pride is devastation, but the opportunity of humility is life, peace, and blessing. ASK THIS: Where is pride quietly at work in my life right now? What relationships am I putting at risk because of stubborn ego? Do I really believe humility saves more than pride ever can? DO THIS: Today, choose one area where pride is whispering, "Defend yourself." Instead, practice humility. Admit the fault, forgive the offense, or let go of the need to win. PRAY THIS: Lord, protect me from the cost of pride. Give me humility to value unity over ego and peace over being right. Help me see that humility leads to life, but pride always ends in destruction. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Humble King."
Trevor Harris & The Dunkin Dad are back with another fresh new episode. They recap Eagles Packers Monday Night football game. They talk all the news and headlines of the latest in the NFL. We have Detroit Lions beat reporter Jeremy Reisman of Pride of Detroit as we preview the Lions Eagles game. we also talk about what we like about the NFC and so much more. We check in with the start of the season of the NHL and we also talk Nico Harrison getting canned in Dallas
The Orlando Pride hosted the Seattle Reign for the second consecutive weekend and there was a lot more on the line the second time. The Pride scored a well-worked goal in the opening 21 minutes, defended like hell, and rode the sheer force of Marta's will to a late insurance goal to beat the Seattle Reign 2-0 at home Friday to advance to the NWSL playoff semifinals. It was a match reminiscent of last year's playoff run with Haley McCutcheon opening the scoring and the Pride putting the clamps on the opposition's offense. We look back at a huge win in the playoff opener, McCutcheon going full McClutcheon, Marta's refusal to be denied, and the emotional finish with Luana's first Orlando Pride goal to cap things off. We also checked back on our score predictions and made our selections for Player of the Match.After our Seattle playoff rewind, we dive into a gigantic mailbagbox. Our listeners wanted to know how embarrassed the Kansas City Current should be after losing at home to Gotham FC, whether Seb Hines was snubbed for an end-of-season award, who the Pride should court for a leg sleeve sponsor, whether a certain former-player-turned-pundit should shut up, and more.

We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show.After our mailbagbox, we previewed Sunday's semifinal match at home against Gotham FC. The Pride fell into a second postseason home match in the 2025 playoffs, and now they have an opportunity to take advantage of playing in front of their own fans with a trip to a second straight league final on the line. Gotham isn't a normal No. 8 seed, so there's no room for taking Sunday's visitors lightly, especially after they ousted the seemingly unbeatable Current. We look at the series history, provide our key matchups, and try our best to predict the final score.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here's how Episode 109 went down:0:15 – The Pride put a crooked number on the board Friday and didn't allow a goal, so based on that math, you can surmise Orlando won its playoff game over Seattle. We discuss it.19:53 - Our mailbagbox is absolutely supersized and presents a lot of questions and comments at the expense of the Kansas City Current.46:51 - Gotham slew the dragon in Kansas City and will visit the Pride on Sunday in the NWSL semifinals.

Send us a textWhat if the worst day of your life was not random, but permitted with purpose? We step into Job's story as a cosmic courtroom, where God sets boundaries and Satan wagers that faith will collapse once comfort is gone. From the opening claim—nothing belongs to us, not even our lives—we track a rapid succession of blows that feel otherworldly: raiders, fire, wind, and a final strike at Job's heart. Along the way, one survivor escapes each calamity, a detail the panel reads as both witness and weight, driving the test forward without pause.We wrestle with a provocative question: was Satan being set up? Pride blinds him; he assumes devotion is transactional. That blindness mirrors modern unbelief, where creation sings yet hearts stay shut. We map biblical echoes—the firstborn in Egypt, Abraham and Isaac, and the eldest brother's house—without forcing symbolism. We also examine the Chaldeans through Habakkuk's lens, noting how ruthless instruments in one moment face judgment in another. The throughline is sovereignty: God permits, limits, and ultimately redeems, revealing a faith that blesses God beyond blessing.The conversation turns practical and piercing. Why were Job's children feasting while disaster spread? Distance and supernatural speed likely kept them unaware, underscoring the intensity of the trial. More crucially, the panel confronts entitlement: if we are creatures, our lives are gifts, not rights. That reframes grief without trivializing it. Like Joseph's confession—what was meant for evil, God meant for good—Job's confession anchors hope in a God who writes straight with jagged lines. The Lord gives; the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Join us, rethink suffering, and consider what anchors your worship when every prop falls.If this challenged or encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Many professionals fall into the trap of competency pride — believing that because they've “earned it,” they no longer need help. In this episode, Larry and Cody unpack how this quiet arrogance can limit progress for even the most skilled coaches, clinicians, and leaders.They explore why the smartest people often struggle most with objectivity, how pride in one's knowledge can hide blind spots, and why the best professionals consistently seek external perspective. Through examples like “Coach Alan,” they show how identity, ego, and fear of being seen as “incompetent” can quietly sabotage both client outcomes and professional growth.Listeners walk away with frameworks to identify their own blind spots, practical methods to invite feedback, and a refreshing reminder: true mastery isn't about knowing everything — it's about knowing when to ask for help.

Summary In this episode, Dr. Michael Easley welcomes best-selling author and leadership coach Patrick Lencioni for a candid conversation about the intersection of faith, humility, and leadership. Patrick shares how spiritual maturity and self-awareness shape the way leaders serve others, especially in ministry and organizational life. He and Michael discuss how pride and insecurity often hide behind titles or success—and how true leadership begins with embracing our dependence on Christ. Patrick reflects on his personal journey of learning to lead through weakness, not image, and explains why the healthiest teams are built on honesty and vulnerability, not performance. Together, they unpack the dangers of ego-driven ministry and the freedom that comes when leaders prioritize humility, obedience, and joy in the Lord over outcomes. This conversation challenges every listener—pastor, leader, or parent—to evaluate what drives their influence. Through laughter, honesty, and deep biblical truth, Patrick and Michael remind us that leadership in the kingdom of God is not about control or recognition—it's about service and surrender. Takeaways True leadership begins with humility, not authority. Pride and insecurity often disguise themselves as confidence. The healthiest teams are marked by honesty and vulnerability. Spiritual maturity means serving from dependence on Christ, not self. Leaders must resist the temptation to measure worth by results. God calls us to lead through obedience and joy, not image or control. LINKS MENTIONED: The Table Group Pat's books Watch the highlights and full version of this interview on our Youtube channel.

This sermon is a call for spiritual renewal and alignment with divine purposes.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And since today is Veterans Day, I want to pause and thank the men and women who have served in our armed forces. You've stood in the gap, sacrificed comfort, and protected freedom. We honor you, and we're grateful for your courage and service. Today's shout-out goes to Clarence Campbell from Burton, MI. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 12:4-6. Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought with Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh." And the Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me go over," the men of Gilead said to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" When he said, "No," they said to him, "Then say Shibboleth," and he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it right. Then they seized him and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time 42,000 of the Ephraimites fell. — Judges 12:4-6 When the conflict between Jephthah and Ephraim escalated, it turned into full-blown civil war. At the Jordan River, the Gileadites set up a simple test: say the word "Shibboleth." Here's why that word mattered: Ephraimites had a regional accent. They couldn't pronounce the "sh" sound and instead said "Sibboleth." A single letter—one tiny sound—became the marker of life or death. If you failed the test, you were executed on the spot. Forty-two thousand brothers died—not because of a true enemy, but because of pride and petty rivalry. It's heartbreaking. Israel was supposed to be one people under God, fighting enemies together. Instead, they killed each other over accents. What began as wounded pride ended in a river of blood. Pride still divides God's people today. Churches split over style. Families fracture over opinions. Christians criticize each other over minor disputes. Small "Shibboleths" become battle lines, and the mission of God suffers. Pride takes small differences and makes them deadly; humility sees the bigger mission and fights the right battles. On Veterans Day, we remember men and women who laid down comfort and safety to protect unity, freedom, and peace. They remind us of what happens when courage is used to defend, not divide. Veterans stood shoulder to shoulder for something greater than themselves. That's what we're called to in Christ—not uniformity, but unity under His mission. The real enemy isn't your brother or sister in Christ. The real enemy is the sin and pride that sets us against each other. Don't let a "Shibboleth" ruin your relationships. Don't let small differences blind you to the bigger battle. Jesus shed his blood to make us one family—let's not shed each other's blood over accents. ASK THIS: Where am I letting pride make small differences into big divisions? Am I more focused on being "right" than being united in Christ? How can I fight for unity instead of fighting my brothers? DO THIS: Identify one "Shibboleth" in your life—a small difference that's become a point of pride or division. Surrender it to God and choose unity over rivalry. PRAY THIS: Father, forgive me when I let pride divide me from my brothers and sisters. Help me to see that our unity in Christ matters more than petty differences. Keep me from fighting the wrong battles and use me to build peace in Your family. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Make Us One."

In his sermon on James 4:11-5:6, Pastor Jared Richard explores how pride—which God hates—is the root of all sin. Using the metaphor of invasive weeds that must be pulled from the root, Pastor Richard identifies three manifestations of pride that threaten the Christian heart. First, a judgmental view of others reveals we've forgotten our own sinfulness and God's mercy toward us. Second, a presumptuous view of the future shows we're planning without acknowledging God's sovereignty, forgetting that "this is the day that the Lord has made" (Psalm 118:24). Third, a self-indulgent view of wealth demonstrates we've forgotten that "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof" (Psalm 24:1). The solution to pride isn't simply behavior modification but remembering who God is—sovereign, holy, and gracious—which properly reorients our understanding of ourselves. When we humble ourselves before God, submitting to His lordship in every area of life, He promises to lift us up. This begins with repentance and faith in Christ for salvation and continues as we allow the Holy Spirit to root out pride in our daily lives. WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Feeling the pressure to have all the answers? You're not alone. Mick Spiers sits down with Jim Fielding—former senior executive at Disney, Fox, and DreamWorks, and author of All Pride No Ego—to explore why modern leadership rewards curiosity over certainty. Together, they unpack how to build teams that think bravely, speak freely, and perform under pressure.Jim takes us inside his pandemic pivot from corporate operator to coach and storyteller, revealing the ten leadership lessons he wishes he knew at 25. The conversation dives into the politicization of DEI and the real challenge leaders face today: teams are already diverse in background and thought. The true edge lies in creating workplaces where people feel safe, respected, and heard. Jim shares how leaders can adapt their language—focusing on community, collaboration, and belonging—while still holding managers accountable for the behaviors that drive inclusion.The episode also tackles the chill around free speech, the mechanics of psychological safety, and how leaders can navigate political diversity at work. Jim outlines a calmer, more thoughtful approach: slow down for facts, invite dissent on purpose, and turn meetings into engines of learning. From supporting employees through sudden policy shifts to encouraging civic participation without partisanship, this episode offers practical tools and a steady compass for leading with empathy, courage, and curiosity.
Heather Brunskell-Evans, philosopher of politics, author, and academic, speaks about her experience of having protested against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, whereby she held a placard upon which she wrote “I oppose genocide” and “I support Palestine Action.” After holding up her sign, within seconds, Brunskell-Evans was arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 and was swiftly detained. Describing being held in solitary confinement overnight and detailing her treatment in detention, to include being enclosed in a caged area, Brunskell-Evans observes the juxtaposition of two types of police partisanship where, the Pride fluffy arm bands that adorned some of these officers symbolise the wider police support of gender ideology and the concommitant endangerment to women's safety, on the one hand, and on the other, the police force's disregard for civil liberties and the freedom of expression to protest a genocide. Criticising the gender-critical feminist movement which has remained tighly affixed to its Zionism and Islamophobic core, Bruskell-Evans vituperates contemporary feminism pointing to its “intellectual paucity” and “lack of ethics” at the heart of western feminism that denies the many incidents of sexual violence recorded by international and national NGOs, documenting decades of rape and sexual assault perpetrated by the Israeli forces against Palestinian men and women.

HELL, GOD, & GRACE. Not a popular topic but vital regardless. Monty & Roger's conversation delves into the themes of eternal suffering and the choices that lead to one's fate in the afterlife. The speaker emphasizes the stark reality of Hell compared to earthly struggles and discusses the concept of pride in relation to disobedience to God. The dialogue encourages listeners to consider their choices and the loving offer of salvation from God.

All the text for this video and then some is below. Also See the Perfect PrisonerMark Twain once said, “A fool doesn't argue for truth. He argues to feed his pride. He will twist your logic mock your calm and drag you down to his level then beat you with experience. You can't teach someone who wears ignorance like armor. The more you respond the more you validate his madness. Don't wrestle pigs in the mud, they enjoy it, and you walk away filthy. Silence isn't weakness it is power. Let the fool shout, his own words will bury him deeper than you ever could.”This echos my mantra, the best way to deal with an attention w***e is to deprive them of attention. Modern society is in a tough situation. Sensationalism is monetized and truth telling is censored. Over time the entire stage is taken over by clowns.If we continue to reward the clowns for temporary escapism, if the societal rot is avoided rather than addressed, our mental decay will become irreversible. Improvement isn't fun nor is it instant. How does one move the inertia of the heard? The field of donkeys with their heads in the sand lost in a haze of Netflix, porn, gossip, endless gaming, is seen from above as just rows of ignorant un-moving a******s. But they will kick you if you disturb them.When poison is made to taste like honey the fool will fight to keep it. The alcoholic clings to his destroyer like a baby bottle. The scroller feels naked without their phone. Take away the constant virtual reality and drugs and most people are bored with who they are for they are no one and are unsatisfied with real relationships for they made none. So back to the noise they will go, cursing anyone who interrupts them.Self deceivers will always hate the one that tells them the truth, for truth violently destroys falsehoods they have attached their identities to. A lie injures the intelligent. The truth hurts the confident but wrong.As Socrates said, “It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows. The mind once sealed by arrogance becomes deaf to truth and blind to growth. Knowledge doesn't enter a cup that believes itself full. It spills. It is wasted. The greatest barrier to wisdom isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of understanding. Until a man humbles his certainty, he'll mistake noise for insight and ego for intellect.”Too much attention makes a donkey think he's a lion. And that is the sickness of our age. We feed fools with applause until they begin to believe their own delusions. A crown of noise sits heavier than a crown of gold. Yet every ignorant man craves it. They mistake visibility for value and noise for nobility. The donkey when surrounded by cheers forgets what he is. He begins to roar in his own mind. But strip away the crown, silence the claps and you'll hear only the Hee-Haw of mediocrity. Attention in excess is poison. “I'm a 10” is one of the by products of this insanity.It blinds the weak, corrupts the average and flatters the undeserving. The wise finds respect in truth, the fool seeks validation in volume.”Aristotle said, “The wise seek reason, the fool seeks approval.” The clown seeks attention, I will add.“No one is more hated that he who speaks the truth, for Truth is a mirror that exposes the ugliness men spend their lives trying to conceal. A ruler who feeds his people illusions is loved, but one who strips away their delusions is despised. For men prefer to be comforted by falsehoods than confronted by reality. The truth does not inspire gratitude. It inspires resentment. To reveal truth is to wound pride. And pride is defended more fiercely than kingdoms.Understand this, the world rewards deception with loyalty and condemns honesty with exile. Therefore if you choose to speak truth, do so knowing you will walk alone, armed not with applause but with contempt. Yet in that solitude lies a darker kind of power, the knowledge that while men hate you, they can not silence the reality you have spoken.” - Plato“You can beat 40 scholars with one fact but you can't beat one fool with 40 facts. For wisdom bows before truth. But ignorance kneels only to its own delusion. A scholar listens, weighs and yields when reason demands it. The fool however builds his throne upon noise. He mistakes volume for victory and stubbornness for strength. You can carve proof into stone yet he will still deny it, for his pride is built on denial itself. He doesn't search for truth he searches for validation. And when a man argues for validation instead of understanding, no truth can reach him. to debate such a creature is to wrestle with the wind. It howls. It shifts. But it can never be captured. While truth humbles the intelligent only silence can expose the fool.” -RumiMost modern people do not care about injustice to others. They care about being seen as someone who cares. It is performance empathy. This is how and why the media can select what the crowd will be outraged about. Watch them wear courage like a disposable costume. One day it's a mask, a black square in their bio or the Ukrainian flag, they come and go as quickly as Free Tibet or Kony 2012, and are as hollow as a white Epstein binder given to Zionist influencers. Theater has gravity. A herd with no moral principles will always glob on to whatever is socially acceptable and safe to hate. Thus we see the weirdly zealous outrage towards the problems of yester-year. It is extremely safe to condemn Nazis, racism, slavery OF THE PAST. But the current evils, sweat shop labor, exploitation, Jewish supremacy: challenging these things comes at a cost. Are you good or do you just wish to appear good?The less talent they have the more pride vanity and arrogance they have. All these fools however find other fools to applaud them. The ignorant always find comfort in the echo of their own stupidity. They praise one another not out of admiration, but out of fear, fear of seeing their own emptiness reflected in silence. Pride is their refuge, vanity their creed, and arrogance their mask. Wise need no applause, for truth is its own reward. Yet the fool blind to his ignorance mistakes noise for wisdom and flattery for honor. And so the world rewards appearances of substance, illusion over intellect. It is a strange comedy. Those who know least shout loudest. Those who know most must whisper to be heard.Noise and attention seeking make more money than telling the truth or tackling social ills. Piling on to the degeneracy is how one makes it in the world. This set up is part of our sickness and why most people run around like barely domesticated monsters. The future is rapidly becoming a contest of who is mastering fakery the quickest. It is a whirlwind of lies and self deception. Every filter, every edit and avatar is deception.“A man who lies to himself and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth either in himself or in anyone else. And he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love. And in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges to the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying.” -Fyodor DostoyevskyLying to others and to yourself is hollowing.You do not need more time. You need less distractions. Hours are squandered on pointless endeavors, meaningless habits, mindless scrolling. Your time disappears as you get lost in the noise. The difference between the focused and the astray is discipline. Distractions are thieves. They don't just steal minutes, they steal dreams. They turn months into years and years into regret. You don't need an extra hour. You need a sharper mind. No matter what you know, no matter how many facts you have gathered, you are adrift without focus.If someone is hurt by honesty it is not the truth that hurt them but their inability to accept it. The fragile mind will always favor fantasy to patch over the rough spots in reality. To the strong willed this is disgusting. If you can not handle honesty don't bother asking me questions.Beware the noise. Beware the noise. It wants you to fail.“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so”. - Mark TwainLittle BonusAlso see the Prefect Prisoner This is a public episode.

Founders wear every hat—until the hats wear them out. In this straight-talk episode, Brandon Moon (CEO & Strategic Partner, TD Pine Advisors) breaks down how to go from owner-dependent chaos to scalable clarity. We unpack replacing yourself with the right operators, building simple systems, leveraging automation without losing the human touch, and shifting identity from doer to designer. If you're plateaued at 10% growth and stuck in 80-hour weeks, this conversation is your operating memo to scale sustainably, increase enterprise value, and protect your mental health. About the Guest: Brandon Moon is CEO and Strategic Partner at TD Pine Advisors, where he helps founder-led companies reduce owner dependency, align teams, and grow valuation. He hosts “Coffee with TD Pine Advisors,” answering real questions from business owners navigating growth, change, and exit readiness.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to James Thorton from Gilbert, AZ. Read more about our mission to teach every verse of the Bible through Project23. Our text today is Judges 12:1. The men of Ephraim were called to arms, and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross over to fight against the Ammonites and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house over you with fire." — Judges 12:1 Fresh off a great victory against the Ammonites, Jephthah faced a new conflict—not with enemies outside, but with brothers inside Israel. The Ephraimites confronted him with jealousy and wounded pride, accusing him of leaving them out. Their anger burned so hot that they threatened to burn Jephthah's house down. Seriously?! This wasn't an issue of principle—it was pride. Instead of focusing on God's deliverance and celebrating that, Ephraim turned inward, making petty issues the main thing. And division within the family would now come at a high cost. This story reminds us that one of the enemy's oldest tricks is to turn God's people against each other. When jealousy, comparison, and wounded pride take root, the church and family of God fight the wrong battles. We've all seen it—church conflicts over secondary issues, friendships fractured by ego, ministries undermined by rivalry. When that happens, the mission stalls. Instead of fighting for God's kingdom, we fight each other. Pride will always find something to be offended about. Pride has a selfish and self-focused nature. But humility sees and celebrates God's victories, even when we weren't the ones in the spotlight. Godly strength isn't found in competing with brothers and sisters in Christ—it's found in uniting under the same Father. The Father of all mankind, and celebrating with those whom God chooses to use. ASK THIS: Where am I tempted to fight petty battles instead of focusing on God's mission? How do jealousy and pride show up in my relationships? Do I celebrate God's work in others—or resent when I'm not included? DO THIS: Today, choose unity over rivalry. Celebrate someone else's success, thank God for their role in His kingdom, and resist the pull of petty battles. PRAY THIS: Father, protect me from jealousy and pride. Keep me from wasting energy fighting my brothers and sisters when You've called us to stand together. Give me a heart that celebrates Your victories—whoever You choose to use. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Same God."

"Pride, Humility, and Identity"__Speakers__Tim and Phanuel Pillsbury
Ryan launches a multi-part series, Twisted Passions, addressing homosexuality and same-sex attraction from a biblical framework. He establishes why pastors should clearly preach what Scripture says while also equipping the church to counsel and care for strugglers, and he outlines upcoming topics: Is this sin “different,” are people “born this way,” and how do we raise kids in a sexualized culture? The aim is clarity, compassion, and confident hope in Christ for real victory.Topics DiscussedWhy churches must preach plainly on homosexuality (OT & NT texts)Common progressive rebuttals and why they don't hold up biblically (e.g., “love = affirmation,” misuse of John 8)Word study: ἀρσενοκοίτης and Paul's clarity in 1 Cor 6 / 1 Tim 1Beyond the pulpit: moving from denunciation to discipleship and counseling in the local churchShepherding kids in a perverted culture; building a proactive family planInviting listener questions/testimonies for future episodesKey TakeawaysScripture speaks clearly; pastors should, too—without hatred or compromise.“Love the sinner; hate the sin” isn't a cliché—Jesus says, “Go and sin no more.”Paul's terminology intentionally names male-with-male practice; it isn't vague.Churches must pair clear preaching with hands-on help for real people.Parents need an intentional, early plan to disciple children amid cultural lies.Ready to download the Cord App?
