In this episode of The Statesman Podcast, Pastor Joe reflects on a stirring chapel message from Pastor Dale about breaking free from routine religion and rekindling a genuine relationship with God.

Drawing from Isaiah 6, Matthew 13, and Revelation 3, Dale warns how easily hearts can grow numb when faith becomes familiar. But through repentance, urgency, and transformation, he reminds us that God’s heart has never changed — He still longs not to hide from us, but to heal us.

This episode invites you to take an honest look at your own walk with Christ. Is your heart still soft and listening, or has comfort dulled your hunger for truth? Jesus is still knocking at the door. The choice to open it is yours.
