Obedience, Faith and Discernment

This one is based off of Luke 8:17 as the main scripture.  You cannot truly do God's Will for your life and live out your purpose if you do not know who you really are.  We all are light and darkness hence the scripture that says be as wise as a serpent. Darkness and Evil are two different things but we must know both in order to really help others. Accepting the darkness in you may lead you close...

This is based off of Act 10:9-15 which dropped in my spirit to discuss. There is so much judgement among Christians that we miss the mission. Are we to be separate from those who do not believe like we do? 

For this last episode of the series I had to give you a testimony about God’s grace being sufficient in my present life. To God Be The Glory I was experiencing some of the things discussed in this series and had to be humbled in order to be of proper use with this episode.

The Jacob In Us – Episode 4: Wrestling With God, Becoming Someone New In Episode 4 of The Jacob In Us series, we explore one of the most powerful moments in Jacob's life—his encounter with God at Peniel. In Genesis 32:24-30, Jacob wrestled through the night and refused to let go until he received a blessing. It was in that struggle that God changed his name, his identity, and the course of his lif...

Scriptures Psalms 46:10 Matthew 6:25-34 Isaiah 30:15 Being still does not mean doing nothing. That being said as we jump into this episode we discuss how it can be difficult for men to fully submit to God because we're taught to always have the answer since birth and full submission to Gods will renders that mindset irrelevant. Jesus speaks on how the birds are taken care of and how the grass is t...

In Episode 2 of The Jacob In Us series, we dive into the masks people wear to hide pain, insecurity, pride, fear, rejection, and brokenness. Just like Jacob struggled with identity before fully surrendering to God, many of us create versions of ourselves to survive, impress others, or protect wounds we never healed from. This episode challenges the difference between who we present to people and w...

In Part 1 of The Jacob In Us series, we confront the mindset of the “self-made man” and how pride, image, control, and worldly expectations can quietly pull men away from full surrender to God. Using Proverbs 3:5-6 as the foundation, this episode explores Jacob before his encounter with God — a man driven by survival, strategy, and self-reliance — and how many men today still wrestle with the pres...

In this raw and transparent prelude to the The Jacob In Us series, we open the door to a conversation many men avoid — hidden struggles, addiction, shame, and the battle between who we are and who God is calling us to become. Using the story of The Holy Bible’s Jacob as the foundation, this episode explores the reality that transformation often begins with confession. I openly discuss my personal...

In this final installment of The Order of Man series, the message is simple but direct: make a decision. In Joshua 24:14-15, Joshua isn’t just making a statement—he’s issuing a challenge: choose who you will serve. Not halfway. Not when it’s convenient. Fully. “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” isn’t just a declaration—it’s a line in the sand. Either God is first, or He isn’t. This...

Episode 5 of The Order of Man dives into the deeper meaning of relationships and divine partnership, rooted in Proverbs 18:22 and Proverbs 19:14. This episode challenges men to rethink what it truly means to “find a wife” and receive favor from the Lord. It’s not just about companionship—it’s about alignment, purpose, and spiritual discernment. We break down the difference between what can be give...

What does it truly mean to be a virtuous woman—and how does that connect to the order God established for man and woman? In today’s culture, definitions of womanhood are constantly shifting. But Scripture gives a clear and unchanging standard. A virtuous woman is not defined by culture, appearance, or status—but by character, obedience, wisdom, and fear of the Lord. In this teaching, we explore th...

What does it really mean to guard your strength? In this episode, we break down the warning in Proverbs 31:3—“Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings”—and connect it to the story of Samson and Delilah. Samson was chosen, anointed, and powerful—but he didn’t lose his strength overnight. He lost it through repeated compromise, emotional attachment, and a lack of disc...

In this Kingdom Marriage series episode, we break down what it really means to be husband material through the lens of Bible—specifically Ephesians 5:25-32. This isn’t about status, money, or surface-level readiness. This is about sacrifice, leadership, discipline, and spiritual responsibility. The call for husbands is clear: love your wife as Christ loved the church. That means dying to self, lea...

Before God created partnership, He established purpose. In this episode of Purpose Before Partnership, we explore Genesis 2:15 and Proverbs 24:27 to uncover a foundational truth: God gives assignment before alignment. Adam was placed in the garden to work and keep it before Eve ever entered the picture, showing us that purpose precedes relationship. This episode dives into the importance of prepar...

In today’s discussion we explore a growing question: Why are many men no longer active in the modern church? Some men feel that church environments have shifted away from accountability, discipline, and biblical instruction that calls men to spiritual leadership. Instead of challenging men to grow into godly husbands, fathers, and leaders, many sermons today focus on comfort, encouragement, and fe...

How do you know when your wilderness season is coming to an end? Many believers talk about the wilderness as a season of testing, growth, and isolation—but few talk about the signs that the season is over. In this episode of the Obedience, Faith & Discernment Podcast, we explore how to recognize when God is moving you out of the wilderness and into the next level of faith. The wilderness is wh...

Up late. Felt encouraged to post this. 

Many people fear the unknown seasons of life—the moments where direction feels unclear, progress seems slow, and God appears silent. But throughout scripture, the wilderness is not a place of abandonment; it is a place of transformation. In this episode of the Obedience, Faith & Discernment Podcast, we explore how some of the most powerful spiritual growth happens in the unknown. Before David...

What if the wilderness season isn’t punishment… but preparation? In this episode, we break down how your purpose is often revealed in the wilderness. Throughout Scripture, some of the most powerful encounters with God didn’t happen in comfort — they happened in isolation. The wilderness is where identity is formed, distractions are stripped away, and God speaks clearly. Many people feel forgotten...

Mental warfare is real—and most battles aren’t happening around us, they’re happening within us. In this episode of the Obedience Faith and Discernment Podcast, we break down how the mind becomes the primary battlefield in the life of a believer. From intrusive thoughts and fear to pride, doubt, comparison, and spiritual deception, the enemy doesn’t always attack your body or your finances first—h...

What does it really mean to wrestle with God—and why does it often happen in the wilderness seasons of our lives? In this episode, we explore the biblical pattern of transformation that occurs when God strips away comfort, control, and ego. From Jacob wrestling with God to Israel wandering the wilderness, Scripture shows us that growth often comes through resistance, not ease. Many believers unkno...

What does it really mean to honor your mother and father when they were not good parents? In this episode, we take an honest and biblical look at the Fifth Commandment and address one of the hardest questions believers face: how to honor parents who caused pain, neglect, or trauma. Honoring does not always mean agreement, closeness, or continued access. Scripture calls us to truth, wisdom, and dis...

In this episode, we explore the truth that God needs all of you—not just the parts you’re comfortable showing. Many believers try to follow God while rejecting pieces of their own identity, especially the parts labeled as “dark.” But darkness and evil are not the same thing. Darkness often represents unexamined areas, suppressed emotions, trauma, strength, or depth that God still intends to redeem...

The Fourth Commandment calls God’s people to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy—not as legalistic restriction, but as intentional alignment with God’s rhythm of rest, trust, and obedience. In this episode, we explore what the Sabbath meant when it was first given to Israel, how Jesus addressed Sabbath misunderstandings, and what true rest looks like for believers today. This teaching challenges...

Many believers misunderstand the Third Commandment and reduce it to language alone, but Scripture reveals something deeper. “You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain” speaks to representation, not just speech. In this episode, we break down how using spiritual titles for special treatment, authority, or status can be vain if it is not producing solid fruit or godly results. We also address...
