Hold Fast

Recently several social media influencers have made statements like "marriage is not supposed to be hard." But is that true? What if you find yourself having a hard time in your marriage, what should you do? This episode seeks to help you navigate through that.

Genesis 2:24 tells us that a man is to leave his father and mother and "hold fast" to his spouse. What does that mean? What implications does that have in our marriages?

We tell our kids not to tattle, but why? Is being a “snitch” always wrong—or could it sometimes be the right thing to do? In this episode, we explore the good and bad sides of snitching. When does it come from a desire for justice, truth, or protection? And when does it cross the line into gossip, revenge, or self-promotion?

We’ll dive into real-life examples, biblical wisdom, and even a funny story from high school about “snitching” on a senior trip. Ultimately, we’ll discuss how the gospel shapes our motives and actions in these moments, reminding us to seek truth and repentance—for ourselves and for others.

Tune in to uncover what it really means to “walk in wisdom” (Proverbs 13:20) when faced with the choice to speak up or stay silent.

In this episode of Hold Fast, we dive into the age-old temptation of blame-shifting when it comes to sin. From Adam and Eve in the garden to our modern-day excuses, humanity has always been quick to point the finger elsewhere. But the Bible is clear: your sin is your responsibility. Join us as we unpack what Scripture says about owning up to our failures, the danger of justifying sin, and the freedom that comes with genuine repentance. It's time to stop blaming others and start taking responsibility for the condition of your heart.
