Ep. 425: You Don't Have to Be Gifted to Be Obedient →

Heres a truth every believer needs to hear: you dont need a spiritual gift to obey God. In this episode, we wrap up Romans 12:68 by tackling a common misconception thinking you can avoid certain responsibilities because youre not gifted in that area. Whether its sharing your faith, showing generosity, or serving others, obedience is for every Christian. This episode encourages teens and young adults to take action, trust God for strength, and stop making excuses. As you step out in obedience, you may even discover new spiritual gifts along the way.

Ep. 421: Pride is Disgusting →

Pride can quietly take over your heart and its more dangerous than you think. In this episode from Romans 12:3, we confront the truth about pride, comparison, and identity in Christ. Learn why comparing yourself to others, whether feeling superior or inferior, misses the point of Gods grace. Discover how everything you have, from your abilities to your opportunities, is a gift from God, not something to boast about. This episode challenges teens and young adults to embrace humility, develop a healthy self-view, and break free from the toxic cycle of comparison. If you want stronger relationships with God and others, it starts by rejecting pride and choosing gratitude.
