  • Ep. 109 | Atomic Habits

    In this episode of the 2717 Podcast, we break down the life-changing principles from Atomic Habits and explore how small, consistent actions can transform your life. From identifying negative habits to creating new ones, we share practical strategies, biblical truths, and personal stories to help you become the person God has called you to be.

    James Clear says, “You don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your habits.” The Bible confirms this truth in Ephesians 4:22–24, which reminds us to “put off your old self… to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”

    In this episode we cover:

    • How to identify and replace negative habits.

    • The power of “habit stacking” for spiritual growth and personal success.

    • The four laws of behavior change and how to apply them biblically.

    • Why your habits shape your identity and legacy.

    • Practical ways to start small, stay consistent, and walk in freedom.

    Your future is shaped by the choices you make daily. It’s time to stop letting bad habits hold you back and start building the habits that bring you closer to Christ and closer to the life you were designed for.

  • Ep. 108 | Why I Believe In God

    In this episode of the 2717 Podcast, we dive deep into the question: “Why do I believe in God?”

    From the evidence of creation to the truth of Scripture, from personal experiences to God’s faithfulness, we unpack the reasons why our faith is not only real but essential. Romans 1:20 reminds us that “since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen.”

    We’ll cover:

    • The reality of God as Creator.

    • The reliability of His Word throughout history.

    • The life-changing power of Jesus Christ.

    • Personal testimonies of faith, hope, and healing.

    • Why faith still matters in today’s world.

    If you’ve ever asked yourself why you should believe in God—or how faith makes a difference in everyday life—this episode will encourage, challenge, and inspire you.

  • Ep. 107 | Blessed Vs. Cursed

    In today’s episode, “Blessed Vs. Cursed,” we explore a challenging but powerful biblical truth: it is possible to be saved by Christ and still live under the weight of curses we’ve come into agreement with.

    The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 26:2 that “Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.” This means that while salvation through Jesus secures our eternity (Romans 10:9–10), we can still experience bondage, setbacks, or generational struggles if we allow agreements with curses—spoken, inherited, or self-imposed—to remain unbroken.

    We’ll unpack:

    • The difference between being eternally saved and living fully free.

    • How words, mindsets, and agreements can open doors to curses.

    • Biblical steps to renounce curses and walk boldly in Christ’s blessing.

    Jesus has already paid the price for our freedom (Galatians 3:13), but we must actively partner with His truth to break agreements that keep us bound.

    🙏 Share your thoughts in the comments: Have you ever recognized an area of your life where you were saved, but still needed freedom from a curse?
