They are either helping us or hurting us. They can either lift us up, or they can pull us down. Our closest friends should be those who bring us closer to God.

Jesus teaches about our care for each other. Solomon said, “iron sharpens iron.” How does that relate to what Jesus said? Let's find out together as we read Luke 17:1-4 and Proverbs 27.

https://teachhoops.com/ Alright, listen up. Today, we're going to talk about what separates good teams from elite teams: the willingness to compete. I'm not talking about just on game day; I'm talking about right here, right now, on this floor. From this moment until we break the huddle, everything we do will be a competition. Every drill will have a winner and a loser. We will keep score. Why? Because pressure is a privilege, and we need to learn to thrive in it. The toughest opponent you face all week should be the player wearing the same jersey as you in practice. If you can win your battles here, against teammates who know your every move, then facing another team under the lights will feel like second nature. This isn't about being bad teammates. It's the exact opposite. It's about respecting your teammates enough to give them your absolute best, to push them beyond their limits so they can do the same for you. This is how we forge resilience and eliminate complacency. When there are consequences for losing a sprint or a shooting drill, you learn to focus. You learn to execute under duress. Today, I want you to embrace the struggle. Challenge every pass, fight for every rebound, and communicate with intensity. Let's make this practice a proving ground where we hold each other accountable and build a competitive fire that no opponent can extinguish.

Divorce is not just a personal decision, it's actually a spiritual health crisis. And it's unfortunately rampant in society today. In this episode, I'm calling it what it really is: sin. God literally says in Scripture, “I hate divorce” (Malachi 2:16), yet our culture treats it like a self-care strategy. Christians are increasingly justifying what the Bible clearly condemns. Let's be clear: marriage is a covenant and walking away from it without biblical grounds is rebellion against God.Even with biblical grounds to divorce (such as in cases of abandonment or sexual immorality) God still prefers there be genuine repentance and genuine forgiveness. Meaning, no matter how "bad" it allegedly gets, God still suggests true apologies and true absolution. He wants that instead of bitterness and separation.Also, everyone seems to conveniently be forgetting about how divorce impacts the children. That is very wicked to not consider how it affects them.People have come at me with rudeness, bitterness, and every excuse under the sun as to why they "had to" get divorced, but none of that will stop me from speaking the truth. You did not "have to" get divorced. Not most of you. I'm not here to please people. I'm here to honor God and uphold what His Word says, even when it's uncomfortable or "comes off mean." Unfriendly reminder: I win every single battle and every single war because I fight on the side of righteousness, and you probably don't. Tune in as we break down the lies, the "justifications" and the tragic consequences of treating divorce like an option instead of the absolute last resort.Marriage is a holy covenant between one man, one woman, and God.Hope this helps!--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
