Passage Ephesians 6:10-20 Speaker Andrew Harland Series Miscellaneous 2025 Play Audio Download MP3 Download PDF

In this episode, I explore why indecision often feels like wisdom but is driven by fear and a desire for comfort. I explain how it can stall both personal and business growth, then walk you through a practical decision-making blueprint designed to help you move forward. I challenge you to confront your hesitation and make bold choices that align with your true calling. Takeaways Indecision can feel safe but often leads to stagnation. Using God as a crutch for indecision is common but misleading. Obedience requires active decision-making, not passivity. Fear of judgment and perfectionism can paralyze decision-making. Indecision can lead to missed opportunities in business. God calls us to the fullness of our purpose, even in discomfort. Building a decision-making blueprint is essential for clarity. Setting deadlines can help overcome indecision. Expect spiritual resistance when making decisions. Taking bold action is necessary to fulfill your calling. 00:00 The Fire Within: Embracing Your Calling 02:56 Breaking Free from Indecision 06:11 The Cost of Indecision in Business 08:56 Building a Decision-Making Blueprint 11:55 The Fire Challenge: Taking Action   PS. Ok, I know I know. I am taking forever with this name change thing.   I have just really been wrestling with it.  It's funny how you can help others do something really well, but then, when you have to do it yourself, you find it much more difficult. But I think this is really it.  Ready for it?  Roar Rising! That is more aligned to my brand, though I love burning bones because so many women I work with have the burning in their bones!  But it will be Roar Rising, I just have to find the time to get the name change done.  And yes, I know the ai image of me is a "bit off" to say the least, lol, but I don't have time at the moment for a new photo shoot. So, if you want to really see me, check me out on YouTube @HeatherSudbrock And if you are finally ready to work with me and get your message, voice, and platform launched and monetized to fund ministry?

Counterfeit goods are always on sale in the marketplace of ideas including “fake Christianity”. On In The Market with Janet Parshall our guest shared his pastors’ heart as he gave us a clear biblical understanding of how a lax faith that includes neglect of Bible reading and application, failing to practice what we preach, focus on the wrong things and prayerlessness can lead us to the trap of an inauthentic faith. He showed the how to avoid these traps and to build and maintain a robust and faithful walk with the Lord. If you or someone you know has endured the pain of sexual abuse, no matter at what age it occurred, there is a long hard road of recovery and healing ahead. Our guest also experienced that trauma in her own life and she reminded us that the source of true healing comes only from the nail scarred hands of our Savior. One of the most respected apologists of our day helped us understand the unseen, supernatural world. Using God’s word he separated biblical facts from Hollywood fiction to reveal the real power, wonder and truth of the invisible world that surrounds us by sharing amazing stories of encounters when the supernatural breached into our temporal existence. Despite what most of us learned in school, science did not start out being divorced from anything related to God and His creative power that formed the world and all that we know. A highly respected doctor pulled back the curtain of history and explained how understanding God’s world was intrinsically a part of the early practice of science and what caused the chasm that we have been living with for more than 160 years. The news never stops and neither does our need to look at it with a discerning, biblical eye. Join us as we explore the story behind the stories of the headlines of the week.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sharing the gospel is central to the Great Commission. But doing so on a day-to-day basis is more complicated than we often want to admit. It's definitely more complex than just memorizing the Romans Road or learning a three-step approach for door-to-door witnessing. So in this episode, we want to ask two different questions about sharing the gospel: first, we want to ask why don't we do it, and second, how should we change the way we think about sharing the gospel?Listen to the audio version here: https://theconqueringtruth.com/2025/04/what-stops-christians-from-sharing-the-gospel-ep-213-audio/Timecodes00:00:00 Failure to Evangelize00:08:36 False Fears00:11:33 Belief in Hell00:14:53 Disobedience00:19:59 Gifting vs Practice00:26:48 Different Venues00:35:36 Hospitality00:40:04 Ready to Give an Answer00:49:28 Listening00:58:17 Answer a Fool01:21:59 Using God's WordProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Using God's Authority to Fight Back!

A Serious MatterA Sacred CallingA Saving Power

"Joe", an inventor from down under, and innovator of the Joe Cell was/is a very special individual who was divinely inspired to build devices (cells) to experiment with water. Most noted was his "cell" integrated with the Internal Combustion Engine in which he introduced a new energy concept to generate power. Joe admonished that his inventions could not be understood within the context of conventional Atomic theory, and also required a knowledge of water as a conduit for informational fields.  This, of course, challenged the sacred cows of "science", but also revealed God's elegant design that can be applied for the production of renewable energy, water purification systems, and even the healing of human biology. "We just haven't figured out how God works!"  ~ Joe  Moshe Daniel Block joins this Alfacast for an in-depth exploration of the science behind the Joe Cell, and to introduce our audience to his own technology as a further evolution of the original Joe Cell.  Dr. Moshe Daniel Block, ND, VDP, HMC, VNMI, is a naturopathic doctor, author, and innovator in mind-body medicine who graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2000. He created andteaches the Vis Dialogue, a transformative mind-body healing technique that has helped thousands achieve life-changing results, and offers a full certification program in Holistic Counseling (holistic-counseling.ca). Having overcome myasthenia gravis with the medicine he practices, Dr. Moshe also provides personal healing programs for chronic illness and emotional suffering (dr-moshe.com). Our discussion on Joe Cell science will necessarily take us down a few esoteric rabbit holes including Russellian science, Steiner anthroposophical concepts with a bit of Alchemical perspective to round out the mix.  These seemingly diverse topics will figure prominently into the reality of "free energy" and the cessation of archaic one-way explosion technologies.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As parents, one of our most important roles is to be students of our children. We can't truly guide them unless we take the time to understand them deeply—who they are, how they think, and where they're headed. A powerful question to ask God is, “How do you see my children? How did you create them? What are you leading them toward?” These questions help us look beyond the surface and see our children the way God sees them. Jeremiah 33:3 reminds us that when we seek God, he reveals things we may not see on our own. When we ask God to show us our children, we gain the wisdom we need to guide them with clarity and love. Psalm 139:23-24 reminds us to invite God into our hearts, asking him to search us and lead us with wisdom. As we ask God to search our hearts, he gives us the insight to understand our children more fully and lead them well. Being students of our children means being open to learning from them and from God. It's a constant process of asking questions, seeking wisdom, and trusting God to show us how to guide them.

What is cheap grace? Using God's grace as an excuse to sin. Because Jesus' self-sacrifice covers sins, some Christians figure they can live like hell since their Heavenly Father will forgive them anyway. Or they figure simple practices like going to church, contributing to ministries, and other good deeds allows them to sin without repentance.

Exodus 20 is a pivotal chapter in the Bible, marking the moment when God gives the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai. These commandments form the moral and spiritual foundation for the Israelites and serve as the core of God's covenant with them. The chapter emphasizes God's authority, holiness, and His expectations for how His people should live in relationship with Him and with one another. Below is a detailed explanation of the chapter and each commandment. Introduction to the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1–2) God introduces Himself to the Israelites as the one who delivered them from slavery in Egypt: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” This declaration establishes God's authority and underscores the gratitude and obedience the Israelites owe Him. The commandments are not arbitrary laws but are rooted in God's relationship with His people. The Ten Commandments Explained 1. You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me (Exodus 20:3) This commandment establishes monotheism, requiring absolute loyalty to God. The Israelites were surrounded by polytheistic cultures, and this command emphasized that they must worship the one true God. This principle calls for undivided devotion and faith in God alone. 2. You Shall Not Make for Yourself a Carved Image (Exodus 20:4–6) This commandment forbids the making or worship of idols. God is spirit, and no physical representation can capture His essence. Worshiping idols diminishes God's glory and leads people away from true worship. God describes Himself as a jealous God, affirming His desire for a faithful relationship with His people. 3. You Shall Not Take the Name of the Lord Your God in Vain (Exodus 20:7) This commandment emphasizes reverence for God's name. Using God's name carelessly, in false oaths, or disrespectfully dishonors Him. Respecting God's name reflects a heart of worship and acknowledges His holiness. 4. Remember the Sabbath Day, to Keep It Holy (Exodus 20:8–11) The Sabbath is a day of rest and worship, modeled after God's rest on the seventh day of creation. The commandment reminds the Israelites to pause from their work and focus on their relationship with God. Observing the Sabbath acknowledges God as the Creator and sustainer of life. 5. Honor Your Father and Your Mother (Exodus 20:12) This commandment promotes respect for parents, which strengthens family structures and ensures societal stability. Honoring parents includes obedience, care, and gratitude. God promises a long and prosperous life in the land for those who obey this command. 6. You Shall Not Murder (Exodus 20:13) This commandment underscores the sanctity of human life, which is created in God's image. Murder is the ultimate violation of another person's dignity and God's design. The commandment calls for respect and protection of life in all its forms. 7. You Shall Not Commit Adultery (Exodus 20:14) Marriage is a sacred covenant reflecting God's faithfulness. Adultery violates this covenant and damages relationships. This commandment calls for sexual purity and fidelity in marriage, emphasizing the importance of trust and commitment. 8. You Shall Not Steal (Exodus 20:15) This commandment protects property rights and promotes honesty. Stealing undermines trust and disrupts community harmony. Respecting others' possessions is essential for justice and social stability. 9. You Shall Not Bear False Witness Against Your Neighbor (Exodus 20:16) Truthfulness is the foundation of justice and healthy relationships. This commandment forbids lying, especially in legal matters, where false testimony can lead to injustice. Honesty strengthens trust and upholds righteousness. 10. You Shall Not Covet (Exodus 20:17) Covetousness addresses internal desires, not just external actions. It warns against envy and discontentment, which can lead to other sins. This commandment calls for contentment and gratitude for God's provision. The People's Reaction (Exodus 20:18–21) After hearing God's voice and witnessing the thunder, lightning, and smoke on Mount Sinai, the Israelites are filled with fear. They ask Moses to act as their mediator, fearing they will die if God continues to speak directly to them. Moses reassures them, saying: “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of Him may be before you, that you may not sin.” This moment highlights God's holiness and the seriousness of His covenant. It also emphasizes the need for a mediator between humanity and God, pointing to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Themes in Exodus 20 1.God's Authority and Holiness: The commandments reflect God's nature as holy, just, and sovereign. 2.Covenant Relationship: The Ten Commandments are given as part of a covenant, binding the Israelites to God and setting them apart as His people. 3.Moral and Ethical Living: The commandments provide a framework for living a life that honors God and fosters justice and harmony within the community. 4.Love for God and Neighbor: Jesus summarized the commandments as love for God (Commandments 1–4) and love for others (Commandments 5–10) in Matthew 22:37–40. Application of the Ten Commandments Exodus 20 challenges believers to examine their relationship with God and others. Worshiping God wholeheartedly, avoiding idolatry, and honoring His name reflect a heart devoted to Him. Respecting relationships, being content, and living with integrity demonstrate love for others. The chapter invites readers to align their lives with God's will and experience the blessings of obedience. It serves as a timeless guide for moral and spiritual living, rooted in God's unchanging character.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Send us a texthey homegirls! in this episode, i'm getting real about something i see a lot in our culture – how easy it is to use God as a way to elevate ourselves, rather than truly seeking Him for who He is. it's everywhere, and honestly, i get it.deep down, a lot of us crave recognition, approval, or success, and a lot of the time we bring these desires right into our faith to the point where it's not even about our faith.here's what i talk on:the ways christian culture can promote a surface-level, self-glorifying faith that misses the pointhow social media is accustoming us to blend worldly desires with our faith, sometimes more than we realiserealigning with God's purpose over our own, seeing worship and growth as ways to know Him deeply, not just ways to succeedthis episode is for anyone who may be treating faith like a self-glorifying booster rather than a humble refining experience with the Most High. i pray it helps you to take a step back, reassess, and grow closer to God's true purpose for you

In this episode, we delve into the role of miraculous powers as formidable weapons in spiritual warfare, inspired by Mark 16:17-18. We'll explore how believers can use these divine abilities to confront and overcome spiritual adversaries, bringing freedom and victory in the name of Jesus.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Mark 16:17-18: "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." This scripture emphasizes the power granted to believers to perform extraordinary acts as a testament to their faith and God's omnipotence.Miraculous powers are not just signs of God's presence but active tools for spiritual warfare, used to establish His kingdom and displace the forces of darkness.Using Miraculous Powers in Spiritual Warfare:* Driving Out Demons: The authority to cast out demons is a clear example of miraculous power that directly combats spiritual oppression and sets captives free.* Healing as Warfare: Healing the sick is not only an act of compassion but a declaration of victory over the illness and afflictions that the enemy uses to bind people.Strategies for Using God's Miraculous Power:* Prayer and Fasting: Engaging in focused prayer and fasting prepares the spiritual ground for miracles and strengthens our connection to God's power.* Faith in Action: Stepping out in faith and using the authority given by Jesus are key to activating these powers. Believers must trust in the divine backing of their actions.* Scriptural Alignment: Ensure that all practices are grounded in Scripture and carried out with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, maintaining purity of motive and action.Encouraging Trust in God's Miraculous Intervention:* Testimonies of Victory: Sharing testimonies of past victories can bolster faith and encourage believers to trust in God's power in their own lives.* Teaching on Spiritual Authority: Educate the church on the biblical basis for spiritual authority and miraculous powers, equipping them with knowledge to use these tools confidently.ConclusionMiraculous powers serve as both proof of God's sovereignty and instruments of His will in spiritual warfare. By wielding these gifts, believers actively participate in the battle against spiritual darkness, securing victories that ripple through the physical and spiritual realms.A Question of the Day: What personal or community situations require you to step out in faith and use the miraculous powers God has provided?Growth Challenge: Identify a challenge in your life or community where miraculous power could make a difference. Commit to praying daily for God's intervention, and plan at least one specific action this week to apply your spiritual authority in this situation.Let's Pray: Lord God, thank You for equipping us with miraculous powers to wage war against spiritual darkness. Grant us wisdom, courage, and discernment to use these gifts according to Your will. May we see Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven through these acts of divine power. Amen.As you confront the battles ahead, remember that you are armed with more than just human strength; you have access to the miraculous. Trust in God's power, step out in faith, and watch as the kingdom of God advances through your obedience. Let's get to work.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Like the first two commandments, the third one is also a prohibition. We are prohibited from using God's name in unbiblical ways. Not only will we learn some of those wrong ways, but we will consider how to use God's name rightly.

In today's discussion, we delve into the pivotal role of divine knowledge in spiritual warfare. Anchored by 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, we explore how the knowledge of God equips us to effectively combat spiritual challenges and secure victories.Our springboard for today's discussion is: 2 Corinthians 10:4-5: "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." This passage highlights the power of spiritual weapons, grounded in divine knowledge, that are effective against formidable spiritual oppositions.Understanding and utilizing the knowledge of God is crucial in spiritual warfare. It not only strengthens our faith but also empowers us to dismantle the lies and deceptions that the enemy uses to wage war against our minds and spirits.Strategies for Using God's Knowledge in Spiritual Warfare:* Scriptural Foundation: Regularly immerse yourself in the Bible to fortify your mind with God's truth. Knowledge of Scripture is fundamental in recognizing and rejecting the enemy's lies.* Prayer and Fasting: Employ prayer and fasting as strategic tools for deepening your spiritual insight and power. These disciplines help to sharpen your spiritual discernment and fortify your soul against attacks.* Community Support: Engage in fellowship with other believers who are committed to living out biblical truths. A community that prays and worships together builds a collective strength that can stand against spiritual challenges.Stories of Victory Through Divine Knowledge:* Overcoming Fear: Janet, once crippled by anxiety and fear, found liberation through scriptures that speak of God's sovereignty and peace. Armed with these truths, she was able to stand firm against her fears, transforming her life into one of boldness and faith.* Breaking Addictions: Mark's victory over addiction came through embracing scriptural teachings about freedom and renewal in Christ. This knowledge empowered him to break free from the chains of addiction, leading to a life of sobriety and spiritual health.Conclusion: Arming ourselves with the knowledge of God transforms us into formidable opponents in spiritual warfare. It equips us with the insight and authority to challenge and overcome the spiritual obstacles we face.A Question of the Day: What spiritual stronghold can you begin to demolish today through the application of God's knowledge?Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, arm us with Your profound knowledge as we engage in spiritual battles. May Your Word guide our thoughts and actions, helping us to stand firm against every challenge. Give us the strength to capture every thought and align it with Your truth. We claim victory in Your name, through the power of Your Spirit. Amen.As we move forward, let us continuously seek to deepen our understanding of God's Word. With this knowledge, we are well-equipped to face any spiritual challenge and emerge victorious. Stay strong in faith, keep praying, and keep applying God's knowledge.

Today, we're exploring the role of wisdom in spiritual warfare. Our key Scripture for this episode is Ephesians 6:11. We'll delve into how wisdom acts as a crucial element of our spiritual armor, helping us to identify and overcome the devil's schemes.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Ephesians 6:11: "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." This verse reminds us of the importance of being fully equipped with God's armor, which includes the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness, anchored by wisdom.In the realm of spiritual warfare, wisdom is not just an optional virtue; it is a necessity. It empowers us to discern spiritual realities and understand God's guidance on how to effectively combat spiritual adversities. Wisdom enhances our spiritual perception, enabling us to see beyond the physical and comprehend the spiritual implications of our battles.Strategies for Using God's Wisdom as Part of Our Spiritual Armor:* Discernment of Spirits:* Understanding the Enemy: Wisdom provides insight into recognizing the enemy's tactics. 1 Peter 5:8 advises us to be sober-minded and watchful, as our adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.* Discerning Truth from Deceit: In a world filled with deception, wisdom helps us to discern truth from lies, protecting us from being led astray.* Decision Making in Battle:* Strategic Choices: Wisdom guides our decisions during spiritual confrontations. It teaches us when to engage in battle and when to uphold peace, as not all battles are meant to be fought.* Guidance in Prayer: Wisdom informs our prayers, making them more strategic and directed towards specific strongholds and issues needing divine intervention.* Growth and Edification:* Learning from Battles: Each spiritual battle is an opportunity for growth. Wisdom helps us to learn from these experiences, improving our spiritual tactics and resilience.* Teaching Others: Sharing the wisdom gained from our experiences can help prepare and protect others in their spiritual journeys.Conclusion: Using God's wisdom in spiritual warfare equips us to stand firm against the devil's schemes. It enhances our spiritual defenses, ensuring that we are not only survivors but victors in our spiritual battles.A Question of the Day: How can you better incorporate God's wisdom into your spiritual armor to effectively combat spiritual attacks?Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of wisdom that strengthens our spiritual armor.

Using God's Word to REFOCUS Your Marriage :: [Ep. 229]For most married people, it's very easy to see your spouse's weaknesses. And often, the enemy effectively uses this clear view of weakness to chip away at the marital foundation and relationship. Often times, this blinds us to see our own shortcomings and results in an unrealistic view of ourselves and what marriage should be. This week, on the VowsToKeep Marriage Podcast, we will be talking all about this and using some of Jesus' key parables to redefine and refocus us in our marriages.

Using God's problem-solving devices gives you the tools for overcoming fear. With a FLOT Line in your soul, you can expect a life of divine advantage over the evils of the cosmic system. “I fear no evil, for You are with me” (Ps 23:4). Fear is a sin.

Ep. 909 Am I Loving or Using God? 1 John 2:18-24 I know that using people is wrong. I love people - I don't use them. Basic idea, right? But what about my relationship with God? What about when I read the Bible - His Words. Am I loving His Words or am I using them to get something I want? Here's a simple way to approach my time in the Word, even my moments listening to a sermon or Bible study teaching. Read this podcast and apply the idea of Context/Truth/Action to another verse on my blog: https://www.jennifergrichmond.com/how-to-read-the-bible-loving-not-using-god/ Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. This podcast is all about letting the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and returning the favor in a sense by dwelling in the Word - not "doing" Bible study, not simply reading - but really moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.

MassReadings for 6th Sunday of Easter May 5, 2024 Reading 1, Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48 Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 98:1, 2-3, 3-4 Reading 2, First John 4:7-10 Gospel, John 15:9-17

Luke 15: 11 - 32 (NKJV) As we break down this prodigal we'll be exploring how there are two ways we attempt to control our lives and become our own saviors. While many might believe that the prodigal son is the primary focus, this sermon will delve into dynamics of a family. This passage will show us the heart of a selfless father in the midst of his selfish sons.

1 Corinthians 81 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. 2 Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. 3 But whoever loves God is known by God.4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.” 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol's temple, won't that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.

The intricacies of Jewish tradition, the adventure of European escapades, and a heartwarming tale of rooster rescue all blend to create an episode of the Living Waters Podcast that's both entertaining and enlightening.Have you ever thought about the weight behind a name? In Jewish tradition, God's name is revered with the utmost respect, a reverence that has been lost on society and the world today. As Ray and the guys chew over the implications of blasphemy, the gravity of our responsibility to represent God to the world becomes clear.Reflecting on past encounters, the guys marvel and grieve that even professing Christians do not seem to appreciate that blaspheming the Lord's name is a severe act and should be taken seriously. Remembering scriptures that highlight the warnings associated with blasphemy, they urge Christians to use the Lord's name with reverence and to exhort other believers to do so as well.Christians often follow public figures who are friendly to faith but aren't followers themselves, like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Dennis Prager. While these speakers are eloquent, intelligent, and even likeable, it's important to weigh everything against the mandates given in scripture. The guys highlight the importance of understanding God's view on these subjects rather than adopting societal perspectives. For example, scholar Dennis Prager presents eloquent arguments that are often followed by Christians. However, he fails to address the heart of these issues from a Christian perspective. He claims that adultery is wrong because it's detrimental to society, rather than—as the Bible says—because it's sinful in God's eyes. Similarly, his interpretation of blasphemy doesn't align with the Christian view, and many Christians are led astray in this respect by his persuasive assertions.The severity of misusing God's name goes beyond mere speech. Using God's name in vain includes living a life that contradicts Christian principles, thus discrediting His name. The guys share their own experiences and efforts to honor God with their actions as much as their speech in various situations, with the prayer that their behavior not only honors God but also draws the lost to Christ.The guys conclude this episode pondering the gravity of using God's name in vain and its reflection on our faith. Famous atheist Penn Gillette's stirring words about caring for someone enough to share the path to salvation with them will inspire you. So, come along on this journey, exploring the fascinating world of faith, tradition, and a hint of adventure. It's an episode you don't want to miss.Thanks for listening!

When we struggle with sins that hold us back in life, God's grace gives us the power to change. Grace does not just cover up sin, but changes us from the inside and completely washes sin away. However, we must want to change for any transformation to take place; some people would rather simply stay the same. We could talk about changing all day long, but nothing will happen until we take the first step in our transformation. This begins with what we believe. There is a definite connection between our beliefs and our speech; recognizing this helps us make the right confessions that lead to positive change. Using God's Word to guide us in our thinking and our speaking gives us success. To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org.
