What makes someone truly great? Is it power, position, or recognition? In this episode, Stephen Davey explores one of Jesus’ most remarkable lessons on greatness, delivered during the Last Supper.

Stephen explains the deeper spiritual truths behind this moment and how they apply to your everyday life.

Are you striving for greatness in your family, workplace, or ministry? This episode will inspire you to shift your focus from being served to serving others. It’s a call to embrace humility, recognizing that the most impactful leaders are those who put others first.

In today’s episode, Stephen Davey explores the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot, recorded in Luke 22:1-6. Judas, one of the twelve disciples, conspired with religious leaders to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. His life is a sobering reminder of how small compromises and misplaced priorities can lead to spiritual downfall.

Judas wasn’t an outsider—he walked with Jesus, witnessed His miracles, and heard His teaching firsthand. Yet, his secret love of money and unmet expectations of Jesus’ mission opened the door to Satan’s influence. Stephen examines how Judas’s story serves as both a warning and a mirror for us. Are there ways we, too, might prioritize our desires over our allegiance to Christ?

This episode challenges us to confront our own potential for betrayal and reminds us of the grace that Judas ultimately rejected. The gospel offers us a "Hiding Place" in Christ—a refuge for all who turn to Him in repentance and faith. Join us as we reflect on the life of Judas, the power of choices, and the hope we have in the redeeming love of God.

In today’s episode, Stephen Davey dives into Titus 1:12-16, where the Apostle Paul issues a stern command to unmask the false teachers spreading lies within the church. In a world filled with deceit, it’s easy for misinformation—even within spiritual circles—to spread unchecked. Paul’s instruction to Titus was clear: these teachers had to be unmasked for what they truly were—rebellious, deceitful, and driven by sordid gain. Their teachings were a mixture of myths and human commandments, things that sounded spiritual but lacked any basis in the truth of God’s Word.

Stephen explains the importance of discerning the real motives behind religious leaders and understanding the difference between sound doctrine and empty talk. As we journey through this passage, you’ll learn not only to recognize false teachings but also how true shepherds are called to guard the flock against such influences. We’re reminded that the pursuit of fame and fortune should never be the motive behind spiritual leadership—rather, it should be the selfless commitment to truth and the wellbeing of God's people. Join us as we unmask deception and uphold the gospel.

In today’s episode, Stephen Davey takes us on a journey through Titus 1, highlighting the dangers of spiritual con artists in the church. We’ve all heard about con artists who scam people out of their savings with counterfeit goods or fake investment opportunities. But what happens when these con artists don’t just target your wallet, but your soul? Spiritual con artists are skilled in wrapping up lies with just enough truth to make them seem genuine. Their teachings may look good on the surface, but they leave believers spiritually impoverished and confused.

Paul instructed Titus to be on the lookout for such teachers—those with empty promises and deceptive motivations. They seek power and prestige while offering nothing of true spiritual value. In this episode, you’ll learn how to identify the characteristics of false teachers, protect yourself and your family, and remain grounded in sound doctrine. The gospel is our only hope, and we need leaders who won’t shy away from proclaiming it, even in the face of those who would twist it for their own gain. Join us as we learn to discern the truth, safeguard our hearts, and stay the course on our journey of faith.
