Rev Leon's Podcast

Today, we stand at a crossroads, burdened by the weight of unaddressed truths and histories shaped by pain and deceit. The effort to deny these truths, to cling to false narratives, creates suffering not only for those whose realities are erased but also for those living in fear of their constructed lies unraveling. Yet, there is hope. The words in Joshua 5:9-12 remind us that freedom comes with truth—a truth that has the power to set us free.

The teaching of Jesus in Luke 6:27, “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,” is arguably one of the most hard commands in all of scripture. When applied to the pain of defamation, of being maliciously attacked, of being slandered, or ridiculed, this verse calls us not to passive endurance, but to an active, counterintuitive response that defeats the enemy’s aim without compromising our own soul.

Let us turn our hearts and minds to a powerful, yet paradoxical, declaration from the lips, Jesus, found in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 6, verse 22. It is part of what is called the Sermon on the Plain, a core teaching that turns the world’s values upside down. Jesus says, “Blessed are you when people hate you...”

Luke 6:20-31

Vindication is the act of being cleared of blame or suspicion. It stands in opposition to conviction, punishment, and unjustified harm. While conviction often leads to guilt and punishment, vindication brings about a sense of relief, justice, and restoration. It is a profound affirmation of truth and righteousness, where those who have been wronged are acknowledged, restored, and given grace.

Joel 2:23-32.

When confronted with so many challenges from political leaders what is one to do? Simply put, Stay the Course.
2 Timothy  3:14-4:5

What God has done, God can do.
Pause and take a moment to reflect. Reflect not on what you may be confronted with right now in your life, but reflect on what God has done in your past. Reflect upon what God has brought you from. That is the assignment.

Psalm 66:1-7

We are living in challenging times. These are days when injustice walks boldly in daylight, when brutality is not hidden but broadcast, and when bias is no longer whispered but shouted from pulpits and podiums. Progress that once felt sacred, hard-won steps toward equity and healing, is being clawed back. We watch as those proven guilty are exonerated, not in the spirit of mercy, but in the service of power. Religion is used as a cloak. Politics as a weapon. And truth? Truth is bent, buried, and bartered

What gives you hope? This is what we will reveal in this message.

Psalm 37:1-9

What makes for a good life? Is it the wealth we accumulate, the status we achieve, or the legacy we leave behind? In 1 Timothy 6, Paul offers a sobering reminder. We will explore this scripture and get clear on one approach to achieving a Good Life.

God bless,

1 Timothy 6:6-19

We need healing in the world. Too many of us have become numb to senseless violence and political partisanship at the expense of our very lives. These things have blinded us to the fact that we need each other and we need to reconnect with others to begin to heal the very things that we yearn for in Iife. We may think the answer is a political one, but I would offer that we may be looking in the wrong place to be healed.
