Worth Living For

"Love is love". I have previously tackled this interesting statement. But it was definitely reactional and it certainly was off the mark. In this particular bible verse it shares what several aspects of God's love is and paints a definitive picture of what love isn't.  1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ESV [4] Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant [5] or ru...

A deeper explanation for why I do the Worth Living For Podcast. Much love, Shaun

Proverbs 16: 27-29 27 A worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire. 28 A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. 29 A man of violence entices his neighbour and leads him in a way that is not good. Much love, Shaun

Psalm 27:13-14 13 I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! 14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! Much love, Shaun

John 8:34-36 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. During this episode I never noticed that Son is written in lower case, and uppercase S. So when we read verse 35 son is written with a lower case, sug...

Don't give up just because you feel like, what you're doing is Insignificant. Hold onto your faith and stand firm in your footing. Much love, Shaun

Respect and honor  are foundational principles in Christian relationships, deeply rooted in biblical teachings. These principles are essential for fostering healthy, God-honoring interactions among individuals, whether in familial, marital, or communal contexts. Much Love, Shaun

I don't have a good description for here. So I'll just leave you with this. 2 Timothy 2:22-24 22  Run from temptations that capture young people. Always do the right thing. Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with. Worship with people whose hearts are pure.  23  Stay away from stupid and senseless arguments. These only lead to trouble,  24  and God's servants must not be trouble...

Intro: I talk about the album a little bit and things like that. 1. The Creator 12:27 2. The Deceiver 6:22 3. The Promise 8:59 4. The Redeemer 10:26 5. The Empowerment 9:10 6. The Coronation 12:58

I will leave this a little vague, so hopefully if you are willing you will listen and hear the heart behind this episode. Thank you to my father for teaching me what you have, in the least 6 to 12 months. And my father-in-law for being willing to teach. Much love, Shaun

Hebrews 4:15-16 describes the kind of relationship God wants with us, in that he wants us to be present, not perfect. Because in that verse he tells us that we can come Boldly to the throne of grace. However, when we carry this idea that Jesus only wants relationship with perfect people, isn't that insinuating what he did on the cross wasn't enough to pay the debt of our sin? And isn't...

Mattew 5:44 "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." We should be in the habit of praying for people, the people we know and the people we don't. But we should also be willing to be hands and feet of God, we...

Proverbs 18:21 "The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences." NLT "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." ESV I think episode is important because I think we forgot that we do have the power of life and death in out tongue, we forget that our words over time, can harm individual people differently. Much L...

This one is self-explanatory throughout the entire episode so instead of sharing more dialogue, Please listen for yourself. Much love, Shaun

I really wanted to write a great description for this episode, but instead I wanted to leave it vague. But there is a big difference between sex and sexual intimacy, I definitely did not cover everything regarding this topic, and there is room for improvement. However hopefully I was able to articulate my thoughts and paint them well. God Bless, Love from Shaun

I haven't really thought much about the potential mental realisation Jesus must've had. I mean he knew from birth to death, what God was asking of him, and how his life will end. No doubt that Jesus had the emotional, mental and spiritually maturity, to accept responsibility in his father had given him to do. It's especially mind blowing in the fact that while Jesus was dying on the cr...

Incredible Album that I wanted to talk about. Much love, Shaun

Psalm 139:13 -16 is an incredible piece of Scripture, that I wanted to tackle. I hope you enjoy the episode and I hope even more, that it helps you. Like I said I am not an expert, I purely wanted to talk about what these mean to me, and what how God has helped me understand them. If you have any concerns or comments feel free, to direct them via my Instagram. Much love, Shaun

Rounding out this series with my good friend Luke. I will mostly do another series like this, and different topics for each episode. I'm not sure yet, but only time will tell. Much love, Shaun

Galatians 5:17 " 17  For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do." The kingdom of God is for sinners because Jesus calls us to repentance, by his blood we are healed and by his suffering, death and resurrection we are redeemed. But God also c...

‭Luke 8:26-39 ESV‬ [26] Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. [27] When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. [28] When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with...

Tomorrow will have it's own worries so choose today, to live, to believe that God is good and have no worry about the life that may and will occur. Because you are free! Much love, Shaun

I heard the new song from Prison, and definitely wanted to talk about it. Much love, Shaun

My good friend shared a statement the other day that said 'Don't mistake forgiveness for Tolerance.' And that really sent me down a rabbit hole of thinking about that, especially in the context of Christianity. I mean God literally didn't accept tolerance, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. To pay a debt we never could pay on our own. It makes sense, because si...

Comparison has no place in the kingdom of God, because we all come to a place of repentance at some point, or at the very least, we should. God had no favourite and is always close to anyone who seeks his face, having a genuine heart to spend time in his presence. I really enjoyed doing this episode and I hope it helps someone. Much love, Shaun
