In this episode Dan and Andy discuss:

Matthew 7:6 ESV

"Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you."

They discuss what can happen when we share the vulnerable, heart level pearls that Jesus is giving us with people who will trample it, or squelch the Spirit, who is moving in us.

This doesn't mean we don't share Jesus and love others, but it does mean that the pearls He gives us and wants to grow in us we treasure and share with people who will encourage and fan into flame what God is revealing to us.

In this episode Dan and Andy discuss Matthew 7:7 ESV:

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

This was a fun discussion about the Holy Spirt and how generous Jesus is with giving us what we need.

They also discuss how we literally cannot do what Jesus asks in our own strength. It is impossible and we need to ask Him for His Spirit...and He wants us to and loves to give us His Spirit's strength in our weakness...His power is perfect in our weakness. PERFECT!

They also discuss Matthew 5:7 and removing the plank from our own eye, before looking at the speck in someone elses.

In this episode Dan and Andy discuss Matthew 6:25 (ESV) "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"

They share antidotes from their lives about anxiety and depression and what worry can do to our lives and how to cast our cares on Jesus.

They share about Jesus being the answer to healing from anxiety and depression and that everything else are tools that He uses. T

hey are all good and incredible tools, but the true healing comes from being the presence of Jesus.

In this episode Dan and Andy discuss Matthew 6:19-20 (ESV)?

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven."

This is an episode that all of us can relate to. Are we thinking and believing eternally or temporarily?

When we think and act in the temporary, it can make it easy to think God isn't with us, or for us, or loves us...but it's because we're storing up treasures in things that are temporary and not in Him.

This doesn't always mean we are 'doing bad things' or even running after bad things, but just treasuring the temporary over the eternal.

Dan and Andy discuss marriage, kids, etc. as they share about how to shepherd these areas while still not holding onto them as the ultimate thing.

In this episode Dan and Andy discuss Matthew the 6:1:

"Watch out! Don't do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven."

They discuss having a focus on eternal rewards vs. temporary ones, and the temptation, that we can all struggle with, of seeking man's approval or recognition over God's.

In this episode Dan Cox and Andy Harris discuss:

Matthew 5:48 (ESV):

"You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

They discuss this with an emphasis on:

Hebrews 10:14: "For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified."

Jesus calls us to perfection, knowing that we cannot acheive this by our own power, and this is the call of Jesus with any of His commandments...He knows that the only way to become perfect, or walk in the commands He gives, is by coming to Him, knowing Him, and allowing Him to empower us, through His Holy Spirit dwelling in us, to walk out what He's called us to.

Jesus gives impossible commands, because with Christ all things are possible...and without Him, it is unachievable...it literally cannot happen.

And this is the crux of this command...in order to become perfect, we must walk in His finished work, by His power, through relationship with Him...it's not by earning or striving for perfection, but by surrender and allowing His Spirit, to give us His Power in our weaknesses, so we can walk the path of sanctification. His power, our surrender.

In this episode Dan and Andy discuss Matthew 5:44, in part 2 of: Love your enemies. This episode focuses on praying for those who persecute us.

When we follow Jesus, this will happen. Its a biblical truth that Jesus talks about. We will have opposition. But Jesus doesn't ask us to fight this opposition with anger, frustration, crafty words, etc., it doesn't mean we won't feel these things as arrows are thrown our way, but God calls us to pray...and prayer changes our hearts...it changes our perspective...and it allows us to forgive and to love as Jesus does, through His power...and gives God the opportunity to move and takes it out of our hands.

This is not an easy ask, but it's a freeing one. To pray and let God shape and move in the ways He needs to, rather than taking vengeance into our own hands. It's different than how the world says to handle it...and again, when we pray for people we don't want to, God changes us and moves in ways we often cannot see.
