😠 Do you feel Dishonor? Do you feel dishonor when you hear a certain president’s name? Maybe it’s Trump. Maybe it’s Biden. Does anger rise up in you, or do you instantly think of a crude joke that makes you laugh? You’re not the only one. Many of us have wrestled with dishonor toward our government leaders—even to the point of hatred. But as believers, we have to ask: what does God say about all this? Proverbs 4:23 tells us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” To guard your heart means to protect […]

😵‍💫 Am I Being Programmed? Media Programming: Most people don’t realize how much television, movies, and social media shape the way they think. We like to say, “It’s just entertainment,” but the truth is, your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between fiction and reality. That’s why your heart races during a scary movie or why you feel emotional when a character dies. Media doesn’t just entertain—it programs. And if we’re not careful, we’ll start believing the messages it’s pushing without even realizing it. The Bible says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your […]

😠 Are We Being Programmed to Hate? Are we programmed to hate? Media is everywhere. Whether it’s viral TikTok videos we scroll through without thinking, our favorite YouTuber, or the never-ending political debates on TV, it’s hard to escape. But have you ever stopped to ask—what effect does all this media have on us? And why do they call it programming? Malcolm X once said, “If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” That’s […]

😮 Ungodly Soul Tie? Let’s talk about something real today—soul ties, specifically ungodly soul ties. It’s a spiritual concept that gets tossed around, but not many people truly understand how deep it runs or how it affects their walk with God. Ever felt stuck, wondering why you can’t move forward? The issue may be an ungodly soul tie that needs to be broken. What’s a Soul Tie? A soul tie is a deep spiritual connection between two people. Soul ties are good in the context of how God created them—like the bond between David and Jonathan in the Bible. (1 Samuel 18:1) They had […]

😠 Is it okay for me to hate them? Have you ever caught yourself feeling sudden anger—or even hatred—when a certain political leader appears on your screen? Maybe it’s someone who you deeply disagree with, or someone the media constantly criticizes. Before you know it, you’re filled with frustration… maybe even rage. But where does that hatred really come from? Why do we hate them? And what does the Bible have to say about it? The truth is, much of our hatred is learned—fed by what we hear, see, and consume. News outlets, social media, and even conversations […]

😮 Honoring our leaders… Let’s be real—dishonor is everywhere, even in Christian circles. Whether it’s the “Let’s Go Brandon” chant or making fun of the assassination attempt of President Donald Trump, it’s clear that disrespect toward government leaders has become normal. Some might say, “Come on, it’s just a joke!” And I’ll be honest—I’ve laughed at some of this stuff before too. But let’s take a step back and really think about it. What Does Dishonor Actually Mean? The Oxford Dictionary defines dishonor […]

😮 Honoring our leaders… What is honor? When we hear the word honor, a lot of things might come to mind. Maybe we think about honoring the military, giving honor to someone receiving an award, or showing respect to a well-known leader. But what about the people God has placed over us in our daily lives? How do we honor them, even when we don’t always agree with them? What does that actually look like in real life? In the Bible, the Hebrew word for honor is Kavod, which means glory or to hold […]

😮 I was shocked when I found out…. Folks, we’re living in some crazy times. With technology and social media, we have instant access to news, politics, and entertainment like never before. In some ways, that’s been a blessing, but in other ways, it’s tearing us apart. One thing that’s become way too normal in this digital age is dishonoring government leaders. But what does that actually mean? Is it just about not saying anything bad about them? Or is there something deeper? Does honoring a leader mean we have to agree with them or even vote for them? And what if […]

🤔 Is God really my first priority? This is a question I have to ask myself honestly in every season as I seek to obey the Lord. Following Christ requires continual surrender. Maybe it’s a job, a relationship, a mindset, or even an old wound. Whatever it is, He calls us to release it fully to Him so that He can transform us. Let me tell you a story of how my wife and I gave everything away. God told us to give everything away… My wife, Anna, and I […]
