  • Ep. 302 - Why You Should Never Follow Your Heart
    Oct 31 2024

    Have you ever questioned the wisdom of following your heart? We venture into this profound inquiry, contrasting the cultural encouragement from figures like Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey with the cautionary tales from biblical teachings in Galatians and Romans. The discussion begins with a personal story of a spontaneous act of kindness during a flight from Ecuador, illustrating life's unpredictability and the spiritual battles we face daily. This episode invites you to reflect on the tension between fleshly desires and godly wisdom, drawing parallels to a soldier's vigilance required in life's battles.

    As we navigate through the complexities of human nature, the mantra of following one's heart is scrutinized. We share stories and experiences that challenge this notion, highlighting the potential for self-justification of sinful behavior. The conversation delves into the struggle of sharing the gospel with those who believe in their own self-righteousness and the pervasive belief in personal goodness despite evident transgressions. Through personal anecdotes, we emphasize the necessity of a heavenly perspective and a higher moral standard, urging listeners to reconsider the inherent goodness of the heart.

    The episode also addresses the modern existential crisis brought on by society's shift toward self-reliance and self-discovery. We explore the paradox of hedonism, where the pursuit of self-pleasure often leads to greater unhappiness. The importance of acknowledging our sinful nature is underscored, using theological insights and cultural references as a guide. By drawing parallels between contemporary society and the days of Noah, listeners are encouraged to confront their sins and recognize their need for a savior. Through scripture and insightful reflections, this episode promises a journey of self-awareness and spiritual awakening, challenging your perspective and inspiring change.

  • Ep. 301 - How to Honor God in Your Singleness
    Oct 29 2024

    Singleness and marriage are both gifts from God, each offering unique opportunities. Ray has desired marriage ever since he was a young child and E.Z. always dreamed of marriage and kids, while Oscar was perfectly content to stay single for the rest of his life. Mark, on the other hand, saw his singleness as an opportunity to pursue his devotion to the Lord. Singleness isn't about waiting patiently for marriage; it's a gift from God to be used for His purpose. One challenge singles face comes from within the church, where there can be an overemphasis on marriage, leaving singles feeling sidelined. Yet singleness is meant to testify that Jesus is enough. When you're single, your focus can be fully on the kingdom of God, without the added concerns that come with marriage and family life.

    Jesus, the most complete person who ever lived, was single. If you're single, use this time wisely. Seek the Lord and serve Him. Marriage is good, but there are opportunities in singleness you won't have when you're married. For example, John Wesley, a great Christian leader, remained single until he was 48. Statistically, even those who are married may find themselves single again due to death or divorce. If that happens, the same principles apply—don’t waste your singleness.

    It’s better to remain single than to marry someone who hinders your ability to serve the Lord. Singleness is not a curse; it allows you to be wholly devoted to God. Mark reflects on what he would do differently if he could return to his single years: study the Bible, seek mentorship, and serve actively in the church. Many women, driven by desperation, rush into marriages they later regret, often ending up with a spouse who doesn’t share their faith. Marriage to someone who doesn’t love the Lord can be a constant struggle. Therefore, single adults should stay active in their church communities and find ways to serve.

    Being single allows you to focus completely on God, and you can utilize your time in ways that will be more difficult once you're married. Ask yourself how you can serve God now, and don’t waste this season. Christ must be your everything, or you’ll create an idol out of marriage or your future spouse. Marriage isn’t a guarantee of happiness, and your spouse won’t save you from loneliness. If you put your happiness on another person, you risk turning them into a functional savior.

    When you understand singleness as a gift, you'll better appreciate marriage when it comes. Be encouraged—whether single or married, there is fullness for you in the Lord. True fulfillment can only be found in Him.

  • Ep. 300 - Examining the Six Things That God Hates (Proverbs 6:16-19)
    Oct 24 2024

    God and hate are rarely associated together, yet understanding God’s nature reveals that He hates what opposes His love. God is a jealous God who desires our devotion. Sin, in many ways, represents hate because it separates us from Him. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar talk through Proverbs 6:16-19 which details what God hates, serving as a guide for what we should avoid. Sin is deadly serious, and though it leads to death, God extends mercy to those in Christ.

    The first thing listed that God hates is a proud face. Pride, the root of the first temptation, places us at the center of our own story. It is particularly visible in environments like sports, where praise and accolades can lead to arrogance. Yet, pride doesn’t require a platform — anytime we see ourselves as the central figure, we edge into pride. True humility is recognizing that it’s Christ’s story, and we are privileged to be part of it. Next, God hates a lying tongue. Truth is vital because God embodies honesty. Lying defames God’s image and erodes our relationship with Him. In today’s world, lying is often normalized, but it’s first and foremost a sin against God. Lying is a shortcut, often motivated by the love of money, but God calls us to integrity, and immersing ourselves in His Word keeps us from deception.

    When considering hands that shed innocent blood, abortion comes to mind. Millions of innocent lives are lost, yet God values life. We must stand against the destruction of life, recognizing that life is God’s gift. Abel’s blood cried out for justice, but Christ’s blood cried out for mercy, offering us salvation. God also hates a heart that devises wicked plans. Every one of us has devised evil at some point, but a new heart in Christ changes that. Premeditating sin is dangerous. Instead, God calls us to align our plans with His will. Similarly, He hates feet that are swift to run to evil. Sin is enticing, but we are to run from it, pursuing sanctification. Sin is always near, but with the power of the Spirit, we can flee from it.

    Lastly, God hates one who sows discord among brothers. Unity within the church is precious, and causing division is detestable to God. We should strive to foster peace and unity, addressing gossip or negativity by creating positive environments. This passage is a stark reminder of God’s hatred for sin and His call for us to live in a way that honors Him. Through Christ, we have the power to turn from these things and live in righteousness, united as believers.

Glad you’re on Audible!

So glad to have found y’all on Audible! It helps me to listen something focused on the lord and on the gospel rather than the news or something else not beneficial. It’s hard to find truly biblical people to listen to. Your programs actually encourage me to seek the Lord, grow in my faith and witness to others. I’m still growing in the last one being avery busy homeschool mom of 3, one being a newborn. I would love to hear more about how busy Mom’s and dads can fulfill the gospel commission. Love you guys!

Love this podcast! Humor first followed by sound Biblical wisdom!

Ray, EZ, Mark, and Oscar banter makes me literately laugh out loud. My husband used to come and check if I was alright!
They always follow with sound Biblical wisdom, motivating me to awaken every God given day to live in love towards others…. and as the Lord prompts share His gospel.
My husband is now listening to the podcasts too; as he has for years followed Ray’s treks with Lucy, formerly with Sam. The highlight of every day he can, is passing out Living Waters tracts at shopping malls, etc. Thank you Jesus for them all at Living Waters!
