For the Sake of the Call with Jeff Smith

In his 12th podcast episode, Jeff Smith offers a warning. Be careful: not every “word from God” you see online is actually from God. If this hits home, save it and send it to someone who could use a reminder to practice discernment. A message that could shape your faith, decisions, or peace deserves careful testing. Encouragement and confidence alone don’t prove spiritual authority. Discernment is not doubt. It’s protection. #Discernment #ChristianInstagram #TestTheSpirits #FaithTalk #JesusFirst

In this message, Jeff Smith shares three foundations of the Christian life: loving God, loving our neighbors, and taking up our cross to follow Jesus. It’s a daily call to surrender—and to let love shape how we live. What does “take up your cross” mean to you?

In this tenth episode, Jeff Smith offers encouragement and a warning to women. He discusses how God created women and what God intends them to be. Women are not supposed to be smaller versions of men. If you need to hear that today, drop a praise and send this to a woman who needs the reminder. God didn’t create women to be weak—He created them to be strong, intuitive, nurturing, and brave enough to stand against what’s wrong.

In this next episode, Jeff Smith discusses Micah 6:8. It’s really the whole Christian life in one sentence. We can make faith feel complicated, but God brings us back to this: Do justly; Love mercy; Walk humbly with God. It’s more than a beautiful verse—it’s a heart check. And living it out isn’t about trying harder alone. It begins with a relationship with Jesus and a heart transformed by the Spirit. What would it look like to make these three things part of your daily walk? Save this as a prayer prompt, and share it with someone who could use this reminder.

The words you speak reveal the content of your heart. David, in the Bible, didn’t just ask God to watch his words. He also asked God to shape his thoughts because what comes out of our mouths is what’s living in our hearts. If we want our speech to change, we can’t ignore what we’re meditating on. If after hearing the message, you have decided to add Psalm 19:14 to your daily prayer time, please let Jeff Smith know. Thank you. God bless you and have a great week!

What if the reason love feels so broken today is because we’ve forgotten what real love even is? In his seventh episode, Jeff Smith discusses what love, God-style is and why love like that is so important.

In his sixth podcast episode, Jeff Smith explains how it all boils down to one of two choices we all must make, or one of two masters we all will serve.  Serve yourself, and you lose peace, clarity, direction, and life.  Serve God, and you gain obedience, purpose, and life. 

In this episode, Jeff Smith discusses the fact that when love grows cold, society feels it everywhere. In a world filled with anger, hatred, division, and dehumanizing and demonizing rhetoric, it’s difficult to find real love.  Jeff breaks down Matthew 24:12 that speaks to lawlessness increasing and love waxing cold.  But he also explains how the opposite is also true: when God’s love fills us, we can become warmer, kinder, and more Christlike.

Some truths aren’t popular—but they still matter. In this 4th episode, Jeff Smith shares why he believes real hope, real reconciliation, and real life are found in Jesus Christ alone.

This episode explores the true meaning of doing everything in the name of Jesus, emphasizing that our words and actions should reflect Christ in our daily lives. Jeff shares personal insights and biblical interpretations to inspire believers to live more Christlike.
