Faith to Witness 99 Season 3 Episode 203 

Re-release - What is Your Truth on the Ground? (Part 2, Spiritual Maturity, Peter)(originally published February 11 2026) 

Here’s the gist, human. Peter’s first letter is impassioned, truth-seared, and glorious. It comes from his experiences, that he has lived his life trading measure for measure, that what he does in action, will receive a reciprocal spiritual strengthening. That spiritual maturity is embracing the glory-bound spiritual gain of things. His life convinces us of this: that a full investment in our obedience yields the highest spiritual return. 

We can’t not hear Peter.

My faith is defined by my spiritual maturity in action, my truth on the ground. God’s Word illuminates my faith by what I do. 

So I ask us, “how much clearer does God need to be?

Peter speaks. Let’s listen.

Faith to Witness 99 Season 3 Episode 202 

Re-release - Are You Captive to Anxiety? (let God be the measure of its depth and scope) (originally published February 25 2026)

 

Here’s the gist, human. Nothing new here. Who doesn’t have anxiety, who doesn’t work hard to not worry and perpetuate more of it in the process? For so many of us, that is an ongoing rhetorical state of mind. We don’t even need to answer. We know it’s true. 

Let’s call anxiety exactly what it is. Let’s name it to God. A petition of the heart. That we take it to him, and let him measure the depth of our anxiety against the scope of its reach in our life. Because our God is sovereign.

Join us. 

Philippians 4:6

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Faith to Witness 99 Season 3 Episode 201

Re-release - What Breaks My Heart in All the Right Places (a view from Mount Nebo) (originally published November 5 2025) 

Here’s the gist, human.  What do you imagine God has prepared for you? Moses lived a hard-fought testimony and died in the arms of God. (or so I envision it). Today we consider obedience gone rogue, two strikes on a rock and a God who represents his holiness. We explore a shepherd’s mental path: Forget not. Accept. Trust. We climb Mount Nebo to see how Moses left this earth. An obedient servant. With a distant view of the Promised Land alongside the God he served. It breaks my heart in all the right places.

Thanks for listening.

1 Corinthians 2:9

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.”

Season 3 Episode 200 When the Enemy Exploits Your Vulnerability and Vantage Point (Jesus bears witness in the wilderness)

Here’s the gist, human. I have always thought of the wilderness days of Jesus face to face with Satan as pretty much hands off, spiritually. Just so powerful. Actually, scary. Unfathomable. But my Bible read-thru right now stopped me here, on Matthew, Chapter 4. On this read-thru it became so personal. Boldly put, that the enemy is always searching for when you are deeply vulnerable. Satan will try to take you to the highest earthly vantage point, to whatever worldly temptation will send you into a spiritual spin. He will con you with kingdoms promising independence with earthly crowds chanting your name. 

If you bow down and chant his name.

Matthew 4:8-10

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

So we go there today. Join us for this final episode of Season 3. It will prepare you for a deeper assessment of your own vulnerabilities during our season break. Let’s celebrate the power of our Savior!

Season 3 Episode 198 Part 2 - Wisdom for Your Witness Is Not a Random Gift (why wisdom costs us everything)

Here’s the gist, human. I am all in on seeking wisdom. Being chased by spiritual conviction about this sure improves my commitment to it… coupled with God’s Word. Plenty of his Word in this episode because the truth works on shaping a discerning heart in each of us. Every word, every verse. Join us as we work our way to why wisdom will cost us everything. 

Because when we seek wisdom we are pursuing a life lived deep within God’s character. And, although he brings discernment one thought at a time, one decision in a moment, one reflection in our past, we can embrace the nature of his wisdom through obedience, and, through something as simple as a walk through his creation. 

And seeking the mystery of his Son. 

Colossians 2:2-3

2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Season 3 Episode 198 Part 1 - Wisdom for Your Witness Is Not a Random Gift (ask for a discerning heart)

Here’s the gist, human. We’re sharing space with a king’s insights today. We are giving wisdom a longer leash as we consider a few words from the king who God made “wiser than all the people of the East.” I wasn’t preparing to focus on wisdom. Or, for a two-part episode. But God has a plan. So now I’m curious. And we need to hear it.

1 Kings 3:8-9

8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

Join us for a little heart to heart talk about wisdom.

Season 3 Episode 197 Jesus Saves You By Your Name. (human for human)

Here’s the gist, human. The world tells us we are one of many. The world tells us we are one of too many. A face in a crowd. A follower on a dashboard. A buyer of the best-selling item. An ancestral spec on the canvas of centuries played out. 

But when it comes right down to who we really are, life is personal. 

Today is undeniably personal. We live from moment to moment through our senses, our intellectual acuity, our emotional energy, gliding on the breadth and depth of our spiritual wing span. Does that even need to be said? Yes. It does. Because this is the foundation on which we have a relationship with Jesus. 

John 10:3: "The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out."

Humanity was not saved by a divine army of heavenly chariots carrying kingdom warriors. Humanity was not saved by a divine power dictating from Heaven’s throne. No, a divine being became flesh. A divine being, the Word, became the Son of Man, one human who walked this earth in perfect harmony with his Heavenly Father. 

He hung on the cross human for human.

Season 3 Episode 196 Part 2 - Ezekiel, A Watchman Who Witnesses the Glory of God (linen, cherubim and the glory weight of your witness)

Here’s the gist, human. Pausing to picture the glory of God as Ezekiel experienced it is a weighty proposition. The sound of cherubim, the vision of a throne made of lapis lazuli, and a Spirit that pulls us to our feet. Glowing metal. Fire. A place for the soles of God’s feet. 

The weightiness of our Creator. A Creator who hovered over the Genesis waters to shape the only world we have ever known. A Heavenly Father who designed his own desire to dwell with us in the earthly space he created for us. 

I want to see that. I want to see what Ezekiel saw. Do you?

Ezekiel 10:4

4 Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord. 

Join us for part 2. Ezekiel’s description of the glory of God.

Season 3 Episode 195 A Watchman Who Witnesses the Glory of God (I have a spirit-crush on Ezekiel)

Here’s the gist, human. Ezekiel was a man that listened to God tell him about the “river” and a hope for the future. A man that God took further, beyond the exile, to the return, and the exacting nature of his glory and how he would dwell again with his people. A man that heard God describe his glory. And who showed him what it looked like. A man that heard God prophecy this: “The Lord is there.” A man living through his prophetic life with such spiritual endurance that it makes me feel closer to God. With all my senses.

I mean. That is my spirit-crush.

It comes in two parts. The first part is Ezekiel, the watchman. The witness. 

And the second part is what Ezekiel saw, what he experienced of the glory of God. 

Ezekiel 3:16-21

16 At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me: 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 

Today we look at how God calls Ezekiel, and how God defines being a witness in the life of Ezekiel. Although I think it is something of a challenge to think of a prophet as a role model, Ezekiel makes me think it is possible. 

Join us.

Season 3 Episode 194 God May Deliver You From the Fire. Or Not. (three men who let God decide)

Here’s the gist, human. We are faced with false gods all the time. Today, we look at three men who chose God, not false gods. Three men who were clear about who the Great Defender is. God. And only God. It’s a beautiful thing to see.

Daniel 3:16-18

16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Join us to see righteous courage in action.
