One of the most dangerous forms of deception is self-deception. Sometimes we keep asking God for direction when He's already spoken clearly in His Word. At that point, the issue isn't whether we can hear Him. The question is whether we're willing to obey what He's already said. If we desire something strongly enough, we can begin looking for permission instead of truth. Genuine repentance brings us back to a simple posture: "God, I want Your will above my own, even when it costs me." In this episode, Arden and I unpack how self-deception takes root and how God's truth can set us free from it. Follow this link for the full episode: tinyurl.com/327wu67d

There are a lot of questions and misconceptions surrounding the return of Jesus. Should Christians be afraid? Can we know the timing? Why does this topic matter so much? And what difference should it make in the way we live today? God didn't give us prophecy to confuse us or cause us to fear. He gave it to prepare us, strengthen us, and keep our hearts fixed on what matters most. My prayer is that these answers help you approach Christ's return with greater confidence, clarity, and anticipation. If you'd like to go deeper, I unpack these topics in much greater detail in The King Is Coming. Follow this link for The King Is Coming: a.co/d/07tJ23OD

Culture may change, but God's standard never does. We're living in a time when compromise is often celebrated, and holiness is viewed as unnecessary or even extreme. But Scripture calls us to something different. This isn't about condemnation or earning God's love. It's about recognizing that Jesus desires a people who are fully devoted to Him. Small compromises rarely stay small. Left unchecked, they slowly shape our hearts, dull our sensitivity to God's voice, and weaken our devotion. In this episode, Arden and I discuss why friendship with the world is one of the greatest dangers facing believers today, and how to remain faithful to Christ in a culture that constantly pulls us in another direction.
