Living for Jesus in an increasingly hostile culture can leave Christians feeling bitter and defensive. But what if we're missing something crucial about how we're called to engage the lost world?
In this episode, we walk through Titus 3 and unpack three essential truths for staying tender-hearted toward unbelievers:
1️⃣ Remember who you were before Christ (vv. 1-3)
2️⃣ Remember what God has done (vv. 4-7)
3️⃣ Remember your calling (v. 8)
We discuss navigating a post-Christian America, the danger of confusing the mission field with your enemy, and why evangelistic engagement is the antidote to growing callous toward the lost.

In this episode, we dive into what the Bible says about how Christians should use their tongues. Building on our previous discussion about illegitimate uses of speech, we explore four biblical purposes for our words and practical ways to honor God with what we say.

🗣️ Four Reasons God Gave Us the Tongue: 1. To speak the truth (Ephesians 4:15, 25) 2. To build others up through edifying words (Ephesians 4:29) 3. To demonstrate tenderhearted kindness (Ephesians 4:32) 4. To praise and glorify God (Psalm 63:3)
Key Takeaways:
A commitment to honesty is the backbone of Christian speech
Every word should build up, never simply to harm
Our speech should always be gracious and "seasoned with salt" (Colossians 4:6)
What comes out of our mouths reflects what's in our hearts
We can't transform our tongues without God transforming our hearts Practical

Applications: • Be quick to hear, slow to speak (James 1:19) • Pray Scripture over your speech (Psalm 19:14, Psalm 141:3) • Speak according to the need of the moment • Let your words give grace to those who hear

How powerful are your words—really? In this episode, we open James 1:26 and James 3 to expose the “respectable sins” of the tongue: gossip, slander, lying, crude talk, and careless words. Scripture is clear: the tongue reveals the heart, and unchecked speech can lead to self-deception and spiritual harm.

We walk through five biblical realities about the tongue—why it’s powerful, restless, foul, prone to lying, and deadly through gossip—and why believers must bridle the tongue for the glory of God. If you’ve ever brushed off gossip as “not that serious,” these passages will challenge you.

💬 Question: Which “tongue sin” do you think Christians minimize most—gossip, sarcasm, exaggeration, or crude joking?

Have you been serving, staying doctrinally sound, and doing all the “right” Christian things—but feel your love for Jesus growing cold? In Revelation 2, Jesus praises the church in Ephesus for their diligence, discernment, and perseverance, but then gives a sobering rebuke: “You have left your first love.”

In this episode, we unpack what it means to leave your first love (not in sequence, but in prominence) and why a cold, apathetic heart is spiritually dangerous—even if your life looks strong on the surface. Using the Challenger space shuttle tragedy as an illustration of a “missing critical piece,” we look at Christ’s clear prescription for spiritual apathy:
Remember where you’ve fallen (preach the gospel to yourself)
Repent (this is a heart issue, not just burnout)
Return to “the deeds you did at first”

We also discuss what those “first deeds” can look like: renewed hunger for God’s Word, fervent prayer, love for God’s people, evangelistic zeal, and honest confession—not just going through the motions.
If you’ve been asking:
“Why don’t I love Jesus like I used to?”
“How do I overcome spiritual dryness?”
“What does Revelation 2 teach the church today?” …this conversation is for you.
