 “Jesus Makes Life Better” featuring Pastor Randall DockeryIn Episode 8 of The Angela Adkins Podcast, Angela welcomes a very special guest—her home church pastor, Pastor Randall Dockery, who has faithfully shepherded St. Marys Church for 25 years. Together, they dive deep into the heart of Christian transformation, spiritual growth, and the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.A Conversation About TransformationPastor Randy opens up with a powerful distinction: ➡️ Temptation is the enemy trying to bring out the worst in you. ➡️ Testing is God’s way of bringing out the best in you.Throughout the episode, he shares how God used seasons of testing to strengthen his faith, reshape his thinking, and deepen his understanding of grace—transforming him from the inside out.Full Show Notes https://www.angelaadkins.org/angela-adkins-podcast/i-tried-to-earn-gods-favor📖 Scriptures Mentioned: John 10:10– “Life more abundantly” 1 Corinthians 10:13– Temptation and God’s faithfulness Romans 12:1–2 – Renewing your mind Luke 10:19– Authority over the enemy James 4:7 – Submit to God, resist the devil Philippians 4 – Think on these things ⏱️ Chapter Markers 0:00 – “Temptation vs. Test”: Opening thought from Pastor Randy 0:30 – Welcome to The Angela Adkins Podcast 1:20 – Episode theme: “Jesus makes life better” (John 10:10) 2:20 – Meet Pastor Randall Dockery & St. Marys Church 3:30 – Pastor Randy’s salvation story and early years of faith 6:10 – Growing up in a Christian home but learning to seek God personally 7:20 – “Jesus makes life better and makes us better for life” 9:00 – What is “abundant life” really?
