    Nice Guys Don't Go to Heaven - Ep. 228

    Can you be a good person and still miss heaven? In this episode of the life faith podcast The John Grdina Classroom, John Grdina tackles one of the most common assumptions in modern Christianity: the belief that being a nice guy is enough to secure eternity.Through the story of Dan, a man who spent nineteen years being the nicest guy on his street and found out too late that nobody there actually knew him, John unpacks Christ's sobering words in Matthew 7, "I never knew you," and shows why the standard was never a moral scoreboard but a relationship. He then turns to Revelation 3 and the warning against lukewarm faith, arguing that comfortable, middle-ground religion is exactly what niceness looks like when there is no relationship underneath it. Finally, he lands on Ephesians 2 and the freedom of grace: salvation is a gift, not a wage, and it cannot be earned by good behavior.This is a challenging conversation about self-improvement, personal transformation, and building genuine relationship with God, family, and community. If you have been coasting on being a good person, this episode is your wake-up call.Scripture referenced: Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16, Ephesians 2:8-9Chapters00:00 Introduction: The Question of Being Nice Enough00:48 The Cultural View of Goodness and Its Limits02:25 Dan's Story: A Nice Guy Nobody Knew04:52 The Moment Dan Needed Connection06:40 Jesus' Words on True Discipleship in Matthew 708:58 The Danger of Lukewarm Faith in Revelation 311:27 Grace as the Gift of Salvation13:07 Practical Steps for a Genuine Relationship with God15:28 The Difference Between Nice and Known17:50 The Call to Authentic Faith and RelationshipListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-john-grdina-classroom/id1596314353Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3MB897IcrtEke2alZHdP3pSubscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheJohnGrdinaClassroomConnect with MeEmail: grdinajohn@gmail.comWebsite: johngrdina.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jgrdina_coach/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/john.grdina.1#SelfImprovementPodcast #PersonalTransformation #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithAndFamilyPodcast #ChristianParentingPodcast #FatherhoodPodcast #CatholicMen #MenOfFaith #4FFramework #JohnGrdina #FreedomToAscend #ChristianMenPodcast #FaithFamilyFitnessFinance #MilesFidelis

    Send us Fan MailIf you've ever wondered why someone can look impressive and still feel hollow, this conversation gets straight to the point: goodness is not a brand, a bank balance, or a perfectly curated life. We start with a simple idea that came out of real-world talks with pilots about judgment and character, then move into the question that actually matters for Christian living: what makes a good man or a good woman? We pull from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Aristotle to explore virtue, self-mastery, and the power of repeated habits, then place those insights next to scripture and modern prophetic counsel. President D. Todd Christofferson's teaching that Christlike character grows out of a Christlike heart reframes the whole project. Behavior is the fruit, but the heart is the tree. That leads to a practical self-audit: if God could change one thing about your heart, what would you ask Him to change? From there, we get concrete. Goodness shows up when it costs something, when strength is paired with restraint, and when integrity holds in private. We talk about meekness as real power under control, the danger of “curated character” in a social media age, and why honesty is more than not lying. We also connect President Russell M. Nelson's call to be peacemakers with the daily chain that builds character: thoughts, words, actions. Finally, we name what philosophy can't supply on its own: grace. The hope isn't manufacturing perfection through willpower, but coming to Christ and being changed from the inside out, “even as I am” (3 Nephi 27:27). If this helps you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review, then tell us what daily habit you're choosing to practice this week.Support the showYou can reach me anytime at email: tandrewsen.monat@gmail.comInstagram @toddtalks_ig

    Fr. James Gendi explores the theme of evil imitating goodness, focusing on biblical warnings about deception in the end times. Drawing from Mark, Revelation, and the teachings of St. Paul, Fr. James explains how Satan and the antichrist will mimic a false trinity to mislead believers. He connects this to modern examples such as AI's ability to create convincing illusions, emphasizing the danger of deception even among the faithful. Fr. James highlights how evil corrupts what is inherently good, illustrating this with examples like abortion framed as women's rights or sin disguised as love and tolerance. He discusses the reasons evil imitates good, including vulnerability in security, the unlikelihood of questioning what appears good, and appealing to those undecided in their faith. To guard against deception, Fr. James stresses the importance of knowing the truth through Scripture and Church tradition and exposing falsehoods openly. Confession and spiritual guidance are presented as vital tools to remain vigilant and avoid falling into error. #EndTimesDeception #SpiritualTruth #FalseChrist #ChristianTeachings #GuardAgainstDeception #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org

    This week on the Industrial Hemp Podcast, we talk to Patrick Atagi, president and CEO of the National Industrial Hemp Council, the organization that's hosting the Seed to Style hemp fiber summit in conjunction with the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, Sept. 16-18. This event is a continuation of the conversations NIHC facilitated in Raleigh, N.C., last summer when they held their fiber summit at N.C. State's Wilson College of Textiles. But this year, the stakes are a little higher and the energy burns a little brighter. Because that's what New York City does: It amplifies everything. "It's building materials, it's clothing — the different parts and pieces of hemp all together, making it all work together. And the culmination is a fashion exhibit," Atagi said. The fashion exhibit caps the summit on Thursday evening — hemp coming off the field and onto the mannequin, the "seed to style" idea made real. Also, one big nugget of hemp news this week: Congress has hit the snooze button on the McConnell deadline that threatens to shut down the vast majority of the cannabinoid hemp industry. Intoxicating hemp products are still out, but the industry has an extra month to fight for its future. The clock is still ticking, but now the alarm is set for Dec. 11, 2026.

    What if the difficult circumstances in your life are not evidence that God is against you, but evidence that He is trying to lead you back to Himself? Manasseh repeatedly rebelled against God, ignored His warnings, and eventually experienced the painful consequences of his choices. Yet in his affliction, he humbled himself, called on God, and discovered that God was still willing to hear and restore him. Sometimes God's goodness looks like grace and mercy. Other times, His goodness allows us to experience the consequences of our choices so that we will recognize our need for Him. Affliction does not have to destroy us. In God's hands, it can lead us to repentance, restoration, and a return to His ways. If you or someone you know is struggling with the consequences of past decisions, this message is a reminder that it is never too late to humble yourself, turn to God, and follow His way.

    You Can Outrun the Goodness of God | Psalm 23:6You've been praying. You've been showing up. And somewhere in the back of your head there's a sentence you don't say out loud: I haven't felt God's goodness in a long time.Most of us assume that means He stopped. Psalm 23:6 says something harder — and stranger."Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me" is the polite translation. The Hebrew is a hunting word: pursue, chase, hunt down. David wrote it as a man who spent most of his life being chased for real — by Saul, by foreign armies, eventually by his own son.So if it's chasing you, why hasn't it caught you?In the finale of our four-week walk through Psalm 23, Pastor Johnny and Pastor Tim Grandstaff sit in one verse and land on the uncomfortable answer: you can outrun it. Not because God is slow — because we've built lives too busy to be caught, and faith too departmentalized to be led.In this episode: — Why "surely" is a verdict, not a hope — Tov — the goodness chasing you is the same word God spoke over creation in Genesis 1 — "Follow" is a mistranslation. It means hunted — Luke 15 and the rich young ruler: He left the 99 to find the one — and He let another man walk away — "God is good on Sunday, but He's not with me on Monday" — the faith problem we create ourselves — Chris the sheep: 90 pounds of wool, and how nobody drifts overnight — The three positions of the shepherd — front, middle, behind — and where all three show up in the psalm — "I shall dwell in the house of the LORD" isn't about a building. It's about presence — John 10: the sheep don't move for strangers. They only move for the voice they knowThis week's challenge: read John 10 alongside all of Psalm 23. And slow down enough to get caught.

    What does it mean to truly know the goodness of God -- not just as a phrase we sing on Sunday mornings, but as a living, pursuing reality in our everyday lives? That is the question at the heart of this exploration of the beloved worship song Goodness of God. We walk through the song lyric by lyric, anchoring each line in the soil of Scripture, and what emerges is a portrait of a God whose mercy never fails, whose faithfulness stretches from the moment we wake to the moment we lay our heads down, and whose goodness does not simply wait for us to find it -- it actively hunts us down. Drawing on passages from Psalms, Isaiah, Lamentations, and the Gospel of John, we are reminded that God's presence with us is not conditional on our circumstances making sense. The fires we walk through, the darkest nights we endure, the moments we feel most hidden -- none of these place us beyond His reach. This is a message that meets us wherever we are on our faith journey, whether we are seasoned believers who need to be reawakened to these truths or those who are only beginning to crack open the door.

    Can we trust that God is good? Pastor Duane Brooks preaches from the book of Genesis on humanity's rebellion in the garden and God's redemptive response. Through it, we see the nature of temptation, the cost of mistrusting God, and God's relentless pursuit to cover our shame, even when we fall short. Message based on Genesis 3:1-17.To discover more messages of hope, go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on YouTube @tallowoodbc, @tallowoodespañol, @thegatheringTBC; Follow us on Instagram @tallowood.baptist; Follow us on Facebook @tallowoodbaptist

    220: Living from the Gospels with Cara Murphy (Part 2)

    “He who loves has his Beloved always in his mind; that time to him is well spent that is spent in contemplating Him, and the time to him is wasted in which He is out of his sight. He counts as profitable only those hours in which he contemplates the only thing that to him has any reality. All else is for him emptiness and nothingness. Let your soul melt into Mine, immerse yourself in Me, lose yourself in Me. Think how often I have told you to hope for the day when you will lean forever on My breast. And since I allow it, I tell you now to begin to live this life, in silence, lay your head upon My breast, and so accomplish your pilgrimage.”–Charles de FoucauldWhat would it look like to engage both our cognition and our imagination when we encounter the Gospels?Not just reading the stories, but entering into them. Feeling the dust beneath our feet, hearing the people gathered around Jesus, watching the questions being asked, and experiencing the Kingdom reality breaking into ordinary lives.Perhaps these two ways of approaching Scripture were never meant to be separated.In this second part of our conversation with Cara Murphy, we turn toward the Gospels not only as texts to read and sources of knowledge about Jesus and his Kingdom announcement, but as an invitation to encounter him in the present—to behold him more fully and, in the process, become more like the One we behold.Our apprenticeship to Jesus is not knowledge for knowledge's sake. The aim is union, participation, and transformation.And above all, the aim is Love: to receive Love, respond in Love, and move into ever-deeper union with the One who is Love.How do we become people who increasingly internalize the words, life, heart, and Kingdom of Jesus so that they shape and shift every facet of our perceiving, experiencing, and acting?The invitation is not to find the perfect plan or manufacture an outcome. It is to make ourselves available to Jesus and trust that he will form us as we immerse ourselves in his Way and his Words, over and over again.What fascinates you in the life of Jesus? And how might you follow that bright curiosity a little further?May we become lifelong students of Jesus, holding his Liveliness and Goodness before our minds with increasing fullness and clarity, trusting that as we behold him, we are being formed more and more into his likeness.It's all been prologue. The best is yet to come.For the Kingdom,Morgan & Cherie
