    Episode 17: James 4:4-6
    Feb 19 2026
    James doesn’t hold back in this passage.

    In James 4:4–6, we’re confronted with a sobering truth: friendship with the world is enmity with God. What does that actually mean for us as believers trying to live faithfully in a culture that constantly pulls at our hearts?In this episode, we talk about spiritual loyalty, divided affections, pride, and the beautiful hope tucked into verse 6 — “But he giveth more grace.” Even when we wander. Even when we choose wrongly. His grace is still greater

    Episode 14: James 3:1-12
    Jan 29 2026
    James 3:1–5 reminds us that something small can have enormous influence. In this episode, we step into James’ warning about the power of the tongue—especially for those who teach—and the responsibility that comes with our words. Like a bit in a horse’s mouth or a rudder on a ship, our speech can steer lives, relationships, and faith in powerful ways. Join us as we explore why James urges humility, caution, and intentionality in what we say—and how surrendering our words to God can change everything.

  • Episode 13: James 2:21-26

    Episode 13: James 2:21-26
    Jan 22 2026
    In this episode of The High Places, the conversation continues through James 2 as we look at verses 21-26 and the powerful truth that genuine faith is never passive. James points us to Abraham and Rahab as living examples of faith that moves--faith that acts in obedience and trust. Together, we unpack what it really means when Scripture says that faith without works is dead, and how a living faith shows itself through action. This episode challenges us to examine not just what we believe, but how our beliefs are lived out daily.

    Episode 12: James 2:14-20
    Jan 15 2026
    What does real faith actually look like? In this episode of The High Places, we walk through James 2:14–20 and wrestle with one of Scripture’s most challenging truths: faith without works is dead.James doesn’t mince words, and neither does this passage. We talk about the difference between simply believing and truly living out what we say we believe, how genuine faith produces action, and why works don’t save us—but they do reveal what’s alive in our hearts.If you’ve ever struggled with how faith and obedience fit together, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and refocus you on what authentic, active faith looks like.

    Episode 10: James 1:19-27
    Jan 1 2026
    This week on The High Places, the conversation centers on James 1:19–27.
    James gives practical instruction for everyday Christian living—calling believers to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath. The passage challenges us to examine how we respond to God’s Word and whether we are merely hearing it or truly living it out.This episode looks at the danger of self-deception, the importance of controlling the tongue, and what James describes as pure religion—a faith that shows itself through obedience, compassion, and a transformed life. It’s a reminder that God’s Word is meant to change us, not just inform us
