True Roots

In this episode Dan and Andy discuss Matthew 9:38 (ESV):

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

This passage is critical to walking in freedom with Jesus. If we fear man and not God, we will constantly live in fear, which causes us to try and control everything around us, or run from it.

If we truly Fear God, it allows us to live in freedom, boldness, and courage as we walk with Him straight towards fear. He wants to conquer fear in us, because truly, if we fear God, we don't have to fear anything else.

In this episode Dan and Andy discuss Matthew 9:38 (ESV): "Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."

They discuss being known by our fruit and what true fruit looks like. They also discuss truth and if anything contradicts, adds to, or takes away from Biblical truth, it isn't truth.

This is an important episode that also discusses sheep in wolves clothing and different cults, such as: mormonism, and how it may look like a sheep, but in reality is a disguised wolf that's distorting biblical truth and who Jesus fully is/was: God and man.

In this episode Dan and Andy discuss

Matthew 7:15 ESV

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves."

They discuss how important it is to know the truth (the Bible) to be able to recognize false teaching.

They also briefly discuss mormonism and Matthew 7:20 - "Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them." And how their 'fruit' can sometimes look 'good', but it's not true fruit, because what they believe doesn't align with God's word, so the fruit of mormonism takes us away from Jesus and away from truth...therefore it is false and not true.

This brought up how a wolf in sheeps clothing looks like a sheep, but underneath is a wolf that will destroy your soul. Mormonism was a great lesson in false teachings that are growing rapidly in our day and time.

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!
