Will drinking alcohol or smoking weed hurt your testimony as a Christian? In this week's episode, Brody addresses these issues by looking at Scripture, statistics, and sharing his personal thoughts. We need to think seriously about these topics and guard ourselves against worldly perspectives that can creep in.

Is it profitable or useful? Are you being dependent on it? We can not justify drunkenness because we need our minds to be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Let’s make sure that we’re not using our freedom in Christ in a way that would cause someone else to stumble. Tune into this episode to learn principles that Scripture gives that helps guide us on these issues.

In today’s episode, Brody walks through 2 Samuel 23 and shows what we can learn from the action of David’s mighty men. These men show loyalty, unselfish bravery, and the ability to discern the needs of others. They took action and embraced responsibility.

The water that these men got for David represents something a whole lot bigger. God has made it clear to David that He has bigger plans for them. The water is about God’s promises and David’s longing to see those fulfilled. These men are so attuned to the needs of others they acted in a way that drove David to worship God. 

David’s life and kinship foreshadows Jesus' own ministry and work. Jesus poured out His own life to give us salvation and freedom to live in victory over sin. In the end your faithfulness to God will be worth whatever it costs you. 

Let’s learn from the actions of David and his men and worship God by serving those around us well.

We train our staff on how to handle tough situations, disciple students, and compete against the culture today. We equip them to work hard and serve others well. 

Pray for our summer staff as we serve the Lord by sharing the Gospel with students.

This summer, at SWO21, our pastors are teaching through the attributes of God. Every week we will walk through the characteristics of God to better understand His nature.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God is unchanging. He is immutable. He can’t change in His nature. If He could change then that means He could improve. 

In contrast, people change all the time in their emotions, decisions, and characteristics. If you’ve been redeemed by Him, God is changing you more into His image every day. His love for you is attached to His character—not yours. You are not consistent. But the Lord is. Let’s pursue the Lord daily and rest in His unchanging nature.

Today, Brody sat down with Steve Finn, a long-time friend of Brody and Snowbird. Steve shared his life story and testimony of how the Lord saved him and pushed him to start Chestnut Mountain Ranch. The Lord gave him a Gospel-driven vision for law enforcement and his career as a police officer. There, he experienced the darkness of humanity, yet a person who is rooted in the Gospel will be stable even when dealing with evil.

God will equip you for the work He’s calling you to. Steve later started a boys’ home program called Chestnut Mountain Ranch, where boys learn life skills and Gospel truths. CMR has been life-changing for many boys. Listen to be challenged and encouraged.

Fear is all around us. The world is fallen and broken; and we need to combat our fears with prayer and Scripture. Prayer must be a consistent part of our lives. Today Brody discusses how believers can use prayer to combat fear. Unhealthy fears attack us when we’re not seeking the Lord through prayer. The Lord uses prayer to stabilize us with confidence in tough circumstances.

Good fear should motivate you to the right kind of action. Prayer lessens our fear in the things of this world and grows our trust in God. Are you feeding yourself with things that grow your faith? Christian, don’t live in fear.

• Ephesians 6
• Matthew 12

Most Christians would admit that their prayer life isn’t what they want it to be. Prayer is a great gift that allows us to communicate with the Almighty God. As a result we should hold a high view of prayer in our lives and communicate with God daily. In this episode, Brody walks through Daniel’s prayer of confession for himself and his people.

Daniel shows us a picture of what Biblical confession looks like. He interceded for the sins of his nation, but we have a better intercessor than Daniel. We have Christ. Let’s be people of prayer, confessing who we are, who He is, and petitioning to His sovereign mercy. 

Resources:

• Romans 10:9
• Daniel 9

In today’s podcast, Brody sits down with Bruce Crocker, who recently worked in the maintenance department here at Snowbird. Bruce shares his testimony of how the Lord used a bear attack in Alaska to draw him and his brother closer to Himself. Even as Bruce suffered 3 broken ribs and a break in his calf and thigh, God’s hand was evident in his life. God uses experiences like this in our lives to bring us closer to Him and make Himself known to us. Listen to hear this story of survival and God’s sovereignty in uncontrollable circumstances.
