Podcasts about let scripture

Real leadership growth doesn't begin with knowing the truth—it begins with what we do after we see it. In this episode, we explore James 1:23–25, where Scripture is described as a mirror—revealing not only how we lead but who we are inside. Leaders often embrace performance reviews and self-assessment, but spiritual leadership demands more than awareness. It requires transformation. Through the image of the mirror, James warns us about the danger of seeing truth in God's Word and walking away unchanged. This is especially relevant for leaders under pressure—where impatience gets renamed as "urgency," pride becomes "confidence," and control is reframed as "excellence." We unpack what it means to: Let Scripture expose motivations beneath behavior Respond to what God reveals, even when change is slow Recognize the leadership drift that begins when truth is ignored You'll also learn five practical steps to cultivate long-term growth and avoid the leadership trap of being informed but unformed. If you've ever found it easier to see your flaws than to address them—or if you're longing for deeper transformation as a Christian leader—this episode will meet you right where you are. Because in the end, the real test of leadership isn't how well we look in the mirror. It's how faithfully we respond to what we see.

Today’s Bible Verse: “When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.” — Nehemiah 1:4 Nehemiah 1:4 shows us the power of a heart that responds to brokenness with prayer. Before Nehemiah took action, he took time to grieve, fast, and seek God. His leadership began not with strategy, but with surrender. “Want to listen without ads?

Today’s Bible Verse:“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple." - Luke 14:26 At first glance, Luke 14:26 can feel shocking and even confusing. Why would Jesus use such strong language about family and even our own lives? In this passage, Jesus is teaching that following Him requires absolute devotion—a love for Him so great that every other loyalty pales in comparison. “Want to listen without ads?

Today’s Bible Verse – John 5:7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me. - John 5:7 In John 5:7, we hear the voice of a man who has been stuck—physically and emotionally—for 38 years. His words reflect a deep sense of helplessness and isolation, but they also open the door for one of Jesus’ most powerful miracles. This verse is a reminder that even when we feel unseen, unsupported, or left behind, Jesus sees us. He meets us in our waiting, our longing, and our weariness—and invites us to healing that goes beyond what we imagine.

Today’s Bible Verse:"Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone." — Deuteronomy 34:7 Deuteronomy 34:7 highlights the remarkable close of Moses’ life.

Advent invites us to receive this joy even when fear, uncertainty, or weariness try to take center stage.

Send us a textEver been pummeled by life and tempted to ask, “What did I do wrong?” We walk through Job's raw questions, Bildad's sharp-edged counsel, and the unsettling truth that God can feel distant even while he remains utterly sovereign. The conversation gets honest fast: how do you hold firm when the warmth of God's favor seems gone and the blows keep coming? We turn to Job's appeal to the “Preserver of men,” the silence that follows, and the hard grace of trusting a God who rules even when Satan swings the hammer.We also unpack the friend problem. Bildad quotes true ideas with bad timing, using conditional promises like a club and calling Job's rich past “small.” Technically correct, spiritually harmful. We dig into what wise counsel looks like—truth as a scalpel, not a sledgehammer—and how even clumsy comments can drive us back to Scripture for real comfort. Along the way, we trace a deeper pattern from Job to Jesus: humble beginnings, mockery, loss, then increase beyond measure. Christ's path reframes our own, anchoring hope in a sovereign God who wastes no suffering.This isn't a lecture; it's a shared ministry. Voices from the community bring cross-references, lived stories, and practical wisdom: be slow to speak, quick to hear, present without performance. Sit with the grieving. Pray. Let Scripture search you. If there is sin, God will reveal it; if not, he will sustain you. And when you counsel, refuse to be a “Bildad”—choose compassion that edifies and truth that heals.Listen for a faith that can stand in cold seasons, a better way to care for hurting friends, and a deeper confidence in the God who keeps his people. If this encourages you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find the conversation.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Today’s Bible Verse:"And when they found him, they said to him, 'Everyone is looking for you.'" — Mark 1:37 Mark 1:37 reminds us that even in the midst of busyness and demand, Jesus made space for purpose and rest.

Today’s Bible Verse:"The king of Israel answered, 'There is still one prophet through whom we can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me. — 1 Kings 22:8 This verse exposes a timeless tension—our struggle with truth when it challenges our comfort. King Ahab rejected Micaiah’s prophecy because it wasn’t what he wanted to hear, even though it was what he needed to hear.

Tuesday, 14 October 2025   The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. Matthew 13:38   “And the field, it is the world. And the good seed, these, they are the sons of the kingdom. And the weeds, they are the sons of the evil” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus began His explanation of the parable of the darnel, explaining that the One sowing good seed is the Son of Man. He continues with, “And the field, it is the world.”   The word kosmos is used. It signifies an orderly arrangement. By implication, it thus speaks of the world. However, that can be the world as the globe, the inhabitants of the world, the state of the world (as in “they are not of the world”), etc.   Jesus' parable goes far beyond a single field or the several fields of a landowner. As such, it would explain why the parable would not be understood without really thinking things through, and maybe not at all.   When evaluating such things, the human mind will make images of what is happening, such as in the sowing of a field. To expand out to the entire world takes a real leap in thought. Jesus continues, saying, “And the good seed, these, they are the sons of the kingdom.”   Having already heard the explanation of the parable of the sower, the imagery here is understandable. The seed reflects people. Obviously, if the sower wants a good harvest, he will sow good seed. The same would be true with Jesus. He will only bring forth that which is good. However, “And the weeds, they are the sons of the evil.”   Pretty much every translation adds in the word “one,” saying, “sons of the evil one,” “wicked one,” etc. This is a correct thought, but it is not a true rendering. It only uses the adjective as a descriptor. Hence, italicizing it is appropriate. Jesus will continue the explanation in the next verse.   Life application: There is a standard method of interpreting Scripture that has been set forth for eons: “Let Scripture interpret Scripture.” In other words, when something is recorded in the Bible, the way to interpret it, first and foremost, is to let the explanation of it be what the Bible says about it.   For example, the story of Sarah and Hagar is recorded in Genesis. For almost 1500 years, it was “just a story” with a meaning that was not understood. Scholars would give their ideas about why it was included in Scripture, normally ensuring that it was understood that the line leading to the Jewish people was highlighted as the true line, chosen of God.   This is not incorrect, but it is incomplete. There are exacting details in the narrative that could have just been left out, and that premise would still be understood. But every word of Scripture has a particular reason for being there.   Only in the coming of Christ and the introduction of the New Covenant is the reason for the story understood. Paul gives a brief explanation of it in Galatians 4, stating “which things are symbolic” in verse 4:24. As Paul has given the explanation under the inspiration of God, we do not need to look for any other explanation for the story. We are thus letting Scripture interpret Scripture.   This is true with incense. In both testaments, incense is explicitly stated as being a metaphor for prayer (see Psalm 141:2 and Revelation 5:8). Therefore, we don't need to speculate about its set typology when looking at the times when incense is mentioned in the Bible.   In Exodus, great detail is given concerning incense. Understanding that it signifies prayer, the meaning of all of those details becomes evident and can be properly analyzed. This is true with something found in the parable of the darnel. In this verse, Jesus said, “And the field, it is the world.”   Therefore, because Jesus has explained what the field signifies (in Hebrew, sadeh means field), we don't need to go anywhere else to understand what is being seen in the typology of a given passage. All we need to do is consistently stick to what Jesus has said.   Unfortunately, translations may fail to translate sadeh as field at times, or they will translate something else as field from another word that actually has a different meaning. Therefore, we can make errors in our figuring out typology by trusting in a given translation that has failed to be consistent. An example would be Genesis 32:3 –   “And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom” (KJV).   The KJV failed to translate sadeh as field, instead rendering it “country.” The NKJV followed that translation, but they thankfully footnoted it as “field.” If one were to read only the KJV, he would never know that it was a faulty rendering of the word. If he were attempting to typologically explain the passage, his explanation would be faulty because of the already faulty translation.   Therefore, when doing an analysis of a passage, attempting to understand what it means, 1) first and foremost, let Scripture interpret Scripture, 2) be consistent in your typological meanings, (if you are to divert from a particular typology, you must have a valid reason for doing so), 3) don't trust a single, faulty translation (like the KJV), and expect proper results. Check with the original. It is not difficult to do, and it will keep you on a sounder, surer path of properly explaining the passage.   Lord God, may we be careful with Your word, never making stuff up in order to provide an explanation that we want. Rather, may we go where You are leading as we carefully evaluate the set purpose and intent that You have for each passage. Amen.

Today’s Bible Verse:"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. It is through this craving, many have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." — 1 Timothy 6:10 Money itself isn’t evil—but loving it more than God is. In this episode, we unpack Paul’s powerful warning to Timothy about how greed quietly takes root in the heart, leading us away from peace, purpose, and even faith itself. “Want to listen without ads?

They said, 'Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?'" — Exodus 17:3 In moments of pressure and need, our natural instinct is often to complain.
