Pastor Paul Karsten and retired Pastor Lee Graves continuing their study of Jeremiah 23:9–40, using the prophet’s denunciation of false spiritual leaders to expose how soothing lies can devastate God’s people and how God’s word stands instead as a consuming fire and a shattering hammer. They show how Jeremiah’s message reveals the spiritual collapse behind Judah’s downfall, then connect it to the church’s calling today to proclaim God’s truth, resist deception, and live in obedient faith. Throughout the conversation they emphasize everyday discipleship—testimony, evangelism, and prayer—while warning against false teaching and counterfeit religion, urging listeners to cling to the true triune God and to live boldly for Christ in a world where persecution and spiritual deception are real but Jesus has already overcome.[ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]
