  • Wresting God, The Wilderness, Serving God Wrong
    Feb 8 2026

    What does it really mean to wrestle with God—and why does it often happen in the wilderness seasons of our lives? In this episode, we explore the biblical pattern of transformation that occurs when God strips away comfort, control, and ego. From Jacob wrestling with God to Israel wandering the wilderness, Scripture shows us that growth often comes through resistance, not ease.

    Many believers unknowingly approach God as if He exists to serve their plans, fix their problems, and validate their desires. But the wilderness exposes this mindset. It forces us to confront whether we truly serve God—or whether we only follow Him when it benefits us. Wrestling with God isn’t rebellion; it’s the painful process of surrender, identity change, and learning obedience.

    This episode challenges listeners to examine their faith, their expectations of God, and whether they are willing to submit rather than demand. The wilderness is not punishment—it’s preparation

  • The Fifth Commandment Sharpened Sundays
    Feb 1 2026

    What does it really mean to honor your mother and father when they were not good parents? In this episode, we take an honest and biblical look at the Fifth Commandment and address one of the hardest questions believers face: how to honor parents who caused pain, neglect, or trauma.

    Honoring does not always mean agreement, closeness, or continued access. Scripture calls us to truth, wisdom, and discernment—not denial. We explore the difference between honor and enabling, forgiveness and reconciliation, boundaries and bitterness. This teaching breaks down how honoring parents can look like refusing to repeat cycles, choosing healing, speaking truth, and living righteously even when parental examples fell short.

    If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, confusion, or pressure to “honor” in ways that harm your growth or faith, this episode offers clarity, balance, and biblical grounding. God does not ask you to lie about the damage—He asks you to walk in truth and maturity.

  • God Needs All Of You.. The Gospel Lens
    Jan 30 2026

    In this episode, we explore the truth that God needs all of you—not just the parts you’re comfortable showing. Many believers try to follow God while rejecting pieces of their own identity, especially the parts labeled as “dark.” But darkness and evil are not the same thing. Darkness often represents unexamined areas, suppressed emotions, trauma, strength, or depth that God still intends to redeem and use.

    This discussion focuses on accepting who you are in Christ, developing discernment between evil and inner darkness, and understanding how avoiding parts of yourself can limit spiritual growth. Wholeness requires honesty, accountability, and surrender—not denial. God doesn’t transform what we refuse to acknowledge.

    If you’ve struggled with identity, fear of your own potential, or confusion about inner conflict, this episode will challenge you to walk in truth, maturity, and obedience.

  • The Fourth Commandment Sharpened Sundays
    Jan 25 2026

    The Fourth Commandment calls God’s people to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy—not as legalistic restriction, but as intentional alignment with God’s rhythm of rest, trust, and obedience. In this episode, we explore what the Sabbath meant when it was first given to Israel, how Jesus addressed Sabbath misunderstandings, and what true rest looks like for believers today. This teaching challenges the hustle mindset, religious performance, and burnout culture, revealing that Sabbath is about dependence on God, spiritual restoration, and honoring Him with our time. True obedience isn’t just working for God—it’s knowing when to rest in Him.

  • The Third Commandment Sharpened Sunday
    Jan 18 2026

    Many believers misunderstand the Third Commandment and reduce it to language alone, but Scripture reveals something deeper. “You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain” speaks to representation, not just speech. In this episode, we break down how using spiritual titles for special treatment, authority, or status can be vain if it is not producing solid fruit or godly results.

    We also address the danger of casually saying “God said” when God has not spoken. Attaching God’s name to personal opinions, emotions, or unchecked revelations empties His name of its weight and authority. This teaching challenges listeners to exercise discernment, evaluate fruit, and be cautious of anyone who constantly claims divine instruction without evidence of obedience, humility, or transformation.

    This episode calls believers to honor God’s name through truth, integrity, and accountability—reminding us that God’s name is sacred and should never be used to elevate self, control others, or bypass discernment.

  • The Lies We Tell Ourselves
    Jan 15 2026

    Many of the strongest lies we tell ourselves are rooted in fear—fear of rejection, fear of judgment, and fear of becoming who God is truly calling us to be. In this episode, we confront how society pressures believers to soften their faith, suppress their convictions, and prioritize other people’s feelings over obedience to Christ.

    We explore the hard truth that the version of ourselves we’re most afraid of becoming is often the very person God is shaping us into. While God calls us to walk boldly in truth, the enemy uses fear, shame, and compromise to keep us running from our identity in Christ.

    This episode challenges believers to stop hiding, stop shrinking, and stop living beneath their calling. If you’ve ever struggled with fully being yourself in Christ because of social pressure or fear of conflict, this message is for you.

  • Sharpened Sunday The Second Commandment
    Jan 12 2026

    In this teaching, we examine the Second Commandment and God’s clear warning against graven images. Many believers overlook how broad this command truly is. Scripture does not limit graven images to carved statues alone—it includes any likeness or resemblance found in heaven, earth, or the waters below.

    This episode breaks down how modern practices such as zodiac signs (earth, air, fire, and water signs), symbolic imagery, and even tattoos can fall under the category of graven images when they reflect spiritual meanings, identity, protection, or devotion outside of God. What may seem cultural, artistic, or harmless can quietly become a form of misplaced reverence.

    We discuss how obedience to God requires discernment, humility, and a willingness to examine what we allow to mark our bodies, shape our beliefs, and influence our worship. True faith is not about outward symbols but about honoring God in spirit and truth.

    This message is a call to reflection, repentance, and renewed obedience—placing God above all images, symbols, and representations.

  • TGL Random Thoughts Becoming Passive, Giving God Something to Work With
    Jan 8 2026

    Many Christians come to salvation and believe the journey is finished, forgetting that faith requires continued obedience, growth, and responsibility. Salvation is a gift, but discipleship is a daily walk. In this episode, we explore the biblical truth that submitting to God does not mean becoming passive—it means actively participating in the work God is doing in us. Scripture makes it clear that while God gives grace, wisdom, and strength, believers are still called to repent, renew their minds, crucify the flesh, and walk in obedience. The idea that “God helps those who help themselves” is not about earning salvation, but about responding faithfully to what God has already given. This teaching challenges complacent Christianity and calls believers back to accountability, spiritual discipline, and genuine submission that produces fruit.
