Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   In a culture that chases power, what if Christians chased peace instead?  Before your next policy fight or political debate, ask this: Am I trying to win the argument—or build up a person Jesus died for?  In Romans 14 and Ephesians 4, God calls us to speak truth with humility, gentleness, and patience, even in the public square.  Listen in and dis...

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   What if the kingdom of God isn’t about what you eat, drink, or which side of the latest controversy you’re on, but about who you’re becoming in Christ?

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   “Scripture warns us: ‘Do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil.’ In a culture watching our every move, could your liberty be confusing the people reading your life like a book?

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   What if your “Christian freedom” is actually destroying the very brother Christ died for?

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   Are you just listening to God’s word…or actually living it? In Ezekiel 33, God calls out a people who loved the message but refused to obey—and their land became a wasteland.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   Are you protecting your brothers and sisters in Christ—or casually tripping them up without even knowing it? Today we’re drawing a clear line between God’s absolutes and matters of conscience, and why love moves us from criticizing to actually safeguarding each other’s souls. If you’ve ever wondered where ‘fun’ ends and ‘stumbling block’ begins, t...

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   One day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess before the judgment seat of God. On that day, it won’t be about how clearly you saw other people’s sins, but how honestly you walked before the Lord yourself. In this devotional, we confront the hard truth: some things are gray, but God’s absolutes are not—and they determine our eternity....

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   What if Jesus was not just Lord of your Sunday, but Lord of your inbox, your job site, your commute, and your county council?

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   Ezekiel 33 says the watchman who stays silent shares the guilt of a nation’s sin. In Washington state, that watchman is you. If you see destructive ideologies harming our kids, our elderly, and our culture, God calls you to blow the trumpet, not hide in the pews. This isn’t about outrage; it’s about loving warning before it’s too late.  In this ep...

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   What if the issue isn’t whether you have convictions, but whether you’re using them as a measuring stick for everyone else?

This could change how you see faith, judgment, and freedom.  In this episode, Pastor Brian ...

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   Who are you to judge the servant of another? In a world where every opinion feels like an absolute, Scripture draws a clear line between God’s non‑negotiable truths and our personal convictions.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   Do you ever look down on other believers because they seem too strict? Or maybe you're the strict one, wondering why everyone else doesn't get it. Here's the truth: both sides can be sinning—one through contempt, the other through judgment.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   Have you ever looked at another believer and thought, ‘Their convictions are too strict… maybe their faith is weak’? What if weak faith is still real faith—and just as loved by God? In a world demanding everyone think and act the same, Scripture calls us to unity, not uniformity, and reminds us there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. ...

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   What if your biggest spiritual battle isn’t “them,” but your need to resize them into your image? What if Christian maturity looks less like winning arguments and more like giving grace in the gray areas? In a world obsessed with being right, Scripture calls us to receive weaker believers, not remake them. Let’s talk about how to hold absolutes ti...

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   We live in a culture where every disagreement feels like a war and every issue is treated like a hill to die on.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   Everyone talks about the ‘big sins’ they’d never touch, but what about the ‘respectable’ ones you quietly tolerate? Resentment, jealousy, selfish ambition are not just bad attitudes; the Bible calls that kind of wisdom earthly, natural, even demonic—and it’s destroying your family, your church, your business, and your party from the inside out. In...

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today   Ask yourself this question: Where do you look for comfort or escape apart from Christ? Is it food, scrolling, anger, or something else? Today's devotion reveals why self-indulgence is secretly stealing your joy—and how to find real pleasure in God instead. This message will challenge what you think freedom really means.  In this episode, Pastor Br...
