2 Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is inspired by God (literally, “God-breathed”), useful for teaching, for conviction, for correcting faults, & for showing us how to live godly lives.”

The Bible is complex in its content but there’s also complexity in the presuppositions we bring TO IT & the expectations we put ON IT.

What we have in scripture is living & active dynamite (Hebrews 4:12) to propel us forward (2 Peter 1:20-21) into an even more knowledgeable, honest & godly experience of faith (2 Timothy 3:16)!

Discovering what HAPPENED is important; discovering what GOD IS LIKE is supreme! (Hebrews 1:1-3)

The goal of God-Breathed-Scripture is to carry & move life forward … and people closer to God. But in all of it, we must stay centered on the END, not just the MEANS.

Jesus says to the religious leaders in John 5:39-40: “You diligently study scripture because you think that you’ll find eternal life in them. But these scriptures point to me, for in me is life, yet you refuse to come to me.”

Scriptures is a powerful & needed MEANS, no doubt. BUT JESUS IS THE END!

We all have power & it can be leveraged for good, but when we compromise, even if we claim it’s for greater good, we corrupt our power to serve our own ends. For the follower of Jesus, the preoccupation with the relevance-spotlight & being seen as spectacular, collides with the call & way of Jesus. The cross throws everything off balance.

In this week's episode Adrianna shows us how purity is holistic, it transcends sexuality and infiltrates every aspect of our lives.

Purity is about identity. Knowing WHO we are and WHO’S we are fuels our obedience to our GOOD Father who has so much better for us than we have been offered by the world!

All of us are tempted to pretend & hide & sometimes we get caught & found out. This is one of the many ways we “fall.”

And this fall happens in relationship life as much as anywhere.

And so we’re talking about Landing in Love because falling in love is easy but landing there takes work.

And part of that work is learning to move forward with your head up AFTER you’ve fallen into some relationship quicksand.

In this episode, Dusty unpacks a story in the gospel of John where someone fell into some major relational mistakes BUT met Jesus there & experienced the grace and truth to move forward!

In this episode, Dusty responds to 10 questions SYAers texted in … because Questions Matter. 

They reveal something about our heart & motive. Like: do you want an answer or wisdom to guide you in discovering the answer? Jesus very often responded to a question He was asked, by asking them a question in return! 

Clearly, Jesus isn’t most interested in transmitting information but transforming souls! And having to work through our questions helps us ask better questions & maybe even discover some truth that will move us forward.
