Pride can be one of the most subtle idols we face. At some point, we’ve all had the spirit of pride raise up in our heart/life. In today’s society, pride is every where & if we’re not careful, it will lead to our destruction. In the second episode of my Golden Calf series, I address pride & the dangers of it.

In this episode, I’m talking about the golden calf of race. Race is heavily focused on in society today & like the Israelites, a golden calf is being raised up. As believers, anyone or anything that you put before/above God is an idol that needs to be knocked down.

This is the last episode in the “The Bible Isn’t Hate Speech. It’s Speech You Hate,” series.

Last week I talked about how people view the Bible as hate speech. This episode is part 2 of the conversation.

Some people call the Bible “hate speech” because it confronts lifestyles, mindsets, & behaviors they don’t want challenged. In this episode, I’m discussing the difference between hatred & conviction, why Biblical truth makes people uncomfortable, & how Jesus spoke truth boldly & with love. This conversation dives into standing firm in Gods word in a culture that celebrates compromise, sin, & immorality. If truth offends, it’s not the Bible that’s the issue, it’s what the Bible is exposing.

In this episode I talk about the power & authority we have through Jesus Christ. We’re living in the last days right now & people are battling fear, confusion, spiritual warfare, & hopelessness BUT God hasn’t called Hid children to live defeated. Through Jesus, we have been given power, discernment, boldness, & victory. It’s time for believers to stop shrinking back & start walking in the power of Jesus Christ.

Obedience isn’t comfortable & choosing God can mean walking away from relationships, saying no when everyone else is saying yes, & standing alone when others compromise. In this episode, address how obedience to God is way more important than the approval of people.

In this episode, I’m diving into the difference between accountability & attack & why so many people confuse the two. In a world where truth is often labeled as offense, it’s important to understand that every correction isn’t meant to tear you down.

If you’ve ever felt offended by correction or struggled to receive truth, this episode will challenge your perspective & help you grow spiritually, emotionally, & mentally.

Have you ever had an opportunity come your way and wondered if it was truly from God? In this episode, we’re talking about opened doors and the importance of discernment. Not every opportunity is meant for you, and sometimes the doors that look good aren’t the ones God is calling you to walk through.

If you’ve been praying for direction, clarity, or confirmation about your next step, this episode will remind you that God knows exactly which doors are meant for you.

Following God requires you to go against what society says/pushes. Listen as I talk about it some more in part 2 of my 2 part series.
