In this episode of Satisfied, the discussion continues around the question, “Was I born this way?” Rather than defaulting to the common cultural binary of heterosexual or homosexual identity, this episode explores a biblical category many have overlooked: those whom Jesus described as “born eunuchs” in Matthew 19:12. The conversation challenges assumptions about sexual desire, identity, and calling, and presents a compelling case that some individuals may be uniquely designed by God for a life of devoted, undistracted service to the King.

Confusion often sets in when life takes an unexpected turn—when hurt, disappointment, opposition, or spiritual attack clouds our perspective. From Psalm 71, this episode explains that the answer is not figuring everything out but choosing to trust the Lord. Focusing on confusion only deepens it, but fixing our eyes on Christ steadies the heart because God remains sovereign over every secondary cause. True deliverance comes not through self-effort but “in thy righteousness,” as Christ’s enablement is expressed through dependent obedience and moment-by-moment reliance on Him.

• Psalm 71 and the problem of spiritual confusion
• How focusing on hurt, frustration, or disappointment multiplies it
• Trust as the biblical cure for confusion
• God’s sovereignty over secondary causes and difficult circumstances
• Deliverance “in thy righteousness”
• Dependent obedience and Christ’s supernatural enablement
• Passive deliverance from sin’s power
• Peter walking on the water as an illustration of misplaced focus
• Living by continual divine intervention

• What you focus on will shape your spiritual experience.
• Trust displaces confusion because it rests in God’s character, not circumstances.
• God is at work even when events seem contradictory or painful.
• Self-dependent righteousness cannot deliver; Christ’s righteousness can.
• The Christian life is lived through total surrender and total dependence.

In this episode, Bobby Bosler warns young people about a subtle but deadly danger to a fruitful Christian life. Drawing from Jesus’ parable of the sower in Luke 8, he explains how believers can genuinely hear God’s Word, step forward in obedience, and yet still fail to bring fruit to maturity. The problem is not lack of desire, but the slow choking effect of everyday pressures, money, and pleasure-driven living.

• The parable of the sower and its application to believers
• What it means to “go forth” without bearing lasting fruit
• How the cares of life quietly suffocate God’s calling
• Riches, debt, and financial pressure as spiritual choke points
• Pleasure and comfort as false motivators, even in ministry
• Learning to cast care on the Lord instead of carrying it alone
• Why fruitfulness requires endurance, not excitement

• Obedience can be sincere and still become unfruitful if unchecked pressures dominate
• Cares are unavoidable, but carrying them instead of casting them is deadly
• Money can choke God’s work whether it is pursued or poorly managed
• Pleasure is a terrible compass for life decisions, even spiritual ones
• God’s calling flourishes in surrender and dependence, not comfort

In this episode, Ryan and Stephanie Swanson address one of the most common and emotionally charged questions surrounding homosexuality: “Was I born this way?” Drawing from Scripture, personal counseling experience, and an anonymous testimony, they explain why this question often becomes a stumbling block rather than a starting point for truth. The episode emphasizes the role of thought life, cultural influence, and “vain imaginations” in shaping identity, while pointing listeners back to God’s created order and the freedom found in aligning our thinking with His truth.

• Why the “born this way” question often derails meaningful gospel conversations
• The influence of environment, culture, and suggestion on identity formation
• An anonymous testimony illustrating how wrong thinking can take root at pivotal moments
• Social media, affirmation culture, and the normalization of identity confusion
• Biblical analysis of vain imaginations from 2 Corinthians 10 and Romans 1
• The danger of “considering” thoughts that contradict God’s revealed truth
• Practical counsel for rejecting intrusive or accusatory thoughts
• God’s design for men and women and the simplicity of His created order

• You are not obligated to consider thoughts that contradict what God has already made clear
• Identity confusion often begins with unchecked imagination rather than conscious rebellion
• Cultural affirmation does not equal moral truth
• Scripture calls believers to actively cast down thoughts that oppose the knowledge of God
• Freedom begins by agreeing with God, not endlessly analyzing feelings

This episode addresses a tension many believers feel but rarely understand: why truth, rules, and even Scripture can feel lifeless or oppressive. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3, Dr. Jim explains that the issue is not the Word of God, but the absence of dependence on the Spirit of God. True Christianity is not self-powered obedience but Spirit-empowered life.

• The meaning of “the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life”
• Why truth without the Spirit produces frustration rather than transformation
• How rules and standards provoke rebellion when divorced from grace
• The difference between self-effort Christianity and Spirit-enabled obedience
• Why the solution is not rejecting the Word, but relying on the Spirit

• The Bible is never the problem; dependence on self is.
• Obedience without the Spirit leads to defeat, not freedom.
• The Spirit gives life to truth, enabling joyful, willing obedience.
• Christianity only works when Christ Himself is the source of power.
• Real freedom comes through surrender and faith, not self-discipline alone.

In this Faith Talks episode, Janna and Judson "Faith" reflect on what it means to begin a new year marked not merely by resolutions, but by genuine steps of faith. Drawing primarily from Colossians, they explain how biblical faith is rooted in knowing who God is, trusting His promises, and allowing His Word to shape daily decisions. Rather than chasing comfort or vague spiritual goals, listeners are encouraged to let Scripture dwell richly in their hearts so faith can actively walk forward in real life.

• Why Colossians begins with truth before commands and how that shapes obedience
• Faith as a walk grounded in God’s character, not feelings or circumstances
• Letting the peace of God rule, even in uncertainty, trials, or pressure
• The role of Scripture in overcoming temptation and spiritual battles
• Understanding identity in Christ and resisting lies with biblical truth
• Discerning God’s will through knowing His heart in His Word
• Closed doors, God’s timing, and trusting Him for miraculous openings
• Practical ideas like claiming verses, “I am in Christ” statements, and intentional prayer for faith steps

• Faith for the new year is not primarily about goals but about obedient steps rooted in truth.
• Knowing who God is precedes trusting what God asks you to do.
• Scripture is essential fuel for peace, victory over temptation, and clarity in God’s will.
• Believers are already complete in Christ and are called to live out that reality by faith.
• A meaningful spiritual resolution is to say yes to God’s Word and walk accordingly, whatever the year may bring.

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gillmore sits down in eastern Uganda with Brother David, a Kenyan missionary serving among the Pokot and Karamajong people of the Karamoja region. Living among nomadic cattle herders in a harsh and often hostile environment, Brother David shares how God burdened his heart to bring the gospel to an unreached people group marked by violence, animism, and deep spiritual darkness. Without financial backing and with great personal sacrifice, he obeyed God’s call and has seen over 150 believers baptized and a growing local church planted in one of the hardest mission fields in East Africa.

• Life and culture among the Pokot and Karamajong people
• Nomadic living, cattle identity, and spiritual strongholds
• Animism, spirit worship, and resistance to the gospel
• Brother David’s salvation testimony and calling to missions
• Obeying God without funding or institutional support
• Daily evangelism and discipleship, not event-based ministry
• Living with the people to reach the people
• Teaching illiterate communities and oral discipleship
• Baptism, church planting, and steady gospel fruit
• Sacrifice, perseverance, and joy in obedience

• The gospel often advances fastest in places others avoid.
• Obedience to God’s call matters more than comfort, safety, or support.
• True missions work is relational, daily, and deeply incarnational.
• Spiritual strongholds rooted in culture require patience and discipleship, not shortcuts.
• God does not need ideal conditions to build His church.
• The value of a single soul outweighs personal sacrifice.

Bobby Bosler shares a simple Christmas challenge from Mark 10:45: Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. With Christmas break and “time off,” it’s easy to drift into an entitlement mindset, but Jesus’ coming calls us to a different posture. This episode urges young people to make Christmas break a season of joyful, intentional ministry at home, in the church, and in the community.

• Snow culture shock: Wisconsin vs. the mountains of West Virginia
• Why Mark 10:45 is a “Christmas verse” in context
• The temptation of “me-first” living during breaks and holidays
• Entitlement at home (parents, siblings, routines, expectations)
• Serving practically in your local church during Christmas events
• “Don’t be a jerk this Christmas”: choosing humility and helpfulness
• Total surrender expressed through ministry that benefits “many”

• Jesus had every right to be served, yet He chose to serve. Follow His example.
• Christmas break is a gift, not a license to drift into selfish patterns.
• The most encouraging thing you can bring home is a servant spirit.
• Serving your family and church is not “extra,” it’s part of living surrendered.
• A Christ-centered Christmas looks like giving yourself for the good of others.
