Welcome back to another episode of the Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast, hosted by Santana. This is a context-driven podcast for people tired of shallow teaching, weaponized Scripture, and churchy filler.

Far beyond your Sunday School lessons and quite frankly, it doesn't matter whether or not you go to church. 

Today's episode asks a very controversial question:

Can you be a Christian and support ICE? 

Some say yes, while others say no. Tune in to find out what the Bible says about how we are to treat foreigners.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast. Today's episode is about Moses.

After leading Israel out of Egypt, witnessing miracles, receiving the Law, and spending forty years in the wilderness, Moses stood at the edge of the Promised Land... but never entered it. Why?

This episode traces Moses' journey from the Nile River to Mount Nebo before taking a closer look at the moment that changed everything in Numbers 20. Together, we'll unpack why Moses struck the rock, why God's response was so severe, what Scripture teaches about obedience and God's holiness, and why this is one of the most misunderstood stories in the Bible.

Scriptures: Exodus 2-4, Numbers 20:1-13, Deuteronomy 34, and Matthew 17

In today's episode on the Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast, Santana unpacks an excerpt of a sermon that tells people that speaking out loud is why the devil knows so much. 

Is this true? 

Not really. But, we unpack it together.

Plot twist: this is not a pastor bashing episode and we are not calling anyone a false pastor.

James chapter 4 asks one of the most uncomfortable questions in Scripture: Why are you asking in the first place?

This episode explores the motives of the heart, the desires that quietly shape our prayers, and the difference between seeking God's will and simply wanting God to bless our own.

I also share a personal story that forced me to examine my own heart and wrestle with questions I didn't expect to ask. Just an honest look at what Scripture says and what happens when the Holy Spirit exposes the places we'd rather keep hidden.

If you've ever felt frustrated in prayer, struggled with unanswered prayers, battled envy, comparison, selfish ambition, or simply want to understand James 4 in its proper biblical context, this conversation is for you.

Can someone know the truth, speak the truth, and still fail as a leader?

In this episode of the Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast, we are walking through one of the most sobering leadership accounts in the Bible: Eli and his sons in 1 Samuel 2-3.

Hophni and Phinehas openly corrupted Israel's worship. They stole from the Lord's offerings, abused their priestly authority, and exploited the very people they were called to shepherd (1 Samuel 2:12-17, 22). Eli knew exactly what was happening. He confronted them, yet left them in positions where the damage continued.

That raises an uncomfortable question:

When does awareness become passivity?

Together we will unpack what the Bible actually says about passive leadership, why God held Eli accountable for failing to restrain his sons (1 Samuel 3:13), and what this story teaches anyone entrusted with influence--whether you're raising children, leading a ministry, managing a business, serving your community, or simply trying to follow Christ faithfully.

We'll also explore practical biblical ways to avoid passive leadership through faithful stewardship, loving correction, and obedience to God's Word.

This episode includes Scripture from:

• 1 Samuel 2-4
• Proverbs 27:23
• James 1:22
• Hebrews 12:6

If you are reading through 1 Samuel, studying biblical leadership, growing in Christian discipleship, or looking for an in-depth Bible study on Eli, this conversation will challenge the way you think about responsibility, accountability, and faithfulness.

Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast is a Bible podcast dedicated to studying Scripture in context, asking difficult questions, and helping believers grow in biblical literacy by letting God's Word speak for itself.

Why do the earliest generations in the Bible marry relatives? Was the bible endorsing incest, or are modern readers applying later laws to a completely different point in human history?

In this episode of the Dear God, Lettuce Pray podcast, Santana unpacks one of the most uncomfortable and controversial questions people ask about Scripture: "So the Bible is cool with incest?"

From Adam and Eve to Cain, Seth, Noah, and the generations that followed, this episode explores how humanity began according to the biblical narrative, why close-family marriages existed in the earliest stages of creation, and what changed once God established laws for Israel.

This conversations breaks down the historical and theological context behind Genesis, the development of human civilization, population growth after Eden, and why later passages in the Law explicitly prohibited incestuous relationships. The episode also examines common skeptic arguments, modern misunderstandings of ancient cultures, and the difference between descriptive events in the Bible versus God's moral commands.

If you've ever wrestled with difficult passages in Scripture, questioned biblical consistency, or wondered how people should approach controversial topics honestly without shallow answers, this episode is for you.

(Part Two)

In this episode of the Dear God Lettuce Pray podcast, hosted by Santana, we walk into ancient Egypt during the confrontation between Moses, Aaron, Pharaoh, and Pharaoh's magicians. This was a world where government, religion, magic, agriculture, medicine, priestly purity, sacred animals, the Nile, the sun and Pharaoh's throne were all connected. So when God dropped the diss track (aka when God began sending the plagues), He was confronting more than one stubborn ruler. He was exposing an entire system of false power.

Exodus says Pharaoh's magicians could imitate some of the early signs. They copies the staff-serpent sign, the Nile turning to blood, and the frogs. Then Aaron struck the dust, the dust became gnats/lice, and Egypt's spiritual experts reached for their secret arts one more time. Exodus says, "but they could not".

This episode unpacks Counterfeit Power in Egypt through biblical, historical, and cultural context of the Exodus plagues, and why Exodus 12:12 says God executed judgment on the gods of Egypt.

Scriptures Referenced

Exodus 5:2-12:12, Genesis 2:7, and 2 Timothy 3:8-9

People quote Scripture every day, but what happens when spiritual language starts getting used to avoid accountability instead of revealing truth?

After hearing watching a show appearance with Cheyenne Bryant where she referenced, "my sheep know my voice", Santana opens up a larger conversation about discernment, church culture, and the growing habit of using God-language as emotional insulation from being questioned. This episode unpacks the deeper biblical context behind John 10 and Ezekiel 34, explores how accountability can quietly disappear once spiritual symbolism enters the room, and explains why Jesus' "Good Shepherd" language carries far more weight than most people realize.

If you've ever struggled with church hurt, manipulative leadership, celebrity Christianity, weaponized Bible verses, or separating God from the people who represented Him poorly, this episode is for you.

Scriptures referenced: John 10, Ezekiel 34, Acts 17:11, and James 3:1
