08-01-2025 PART 1: Sergio’s Call, Ruth’s Mystery, and the Truth That Sets Us Free

Section 1

The show opens with an energetic invitation for listeners to engage in spiritual reflection, laughter, and dialogue. Dr. Dave sets a lighthearted tone with his self-deprecating humor, encouraging listeners to call in and share their latest prayer requests or testimonies. The key question posed is: “What is your latest prayer to the Lord that you're asking for?” Dave emphasizes the value of community faith and the scriptural call to declare God’s goodness. Practical contact methods are shared, inviting listeners to call, text, or email. The introduction culminates with a moment of celebration over improved sound quality and a fresh sense of spiritual clarity in the studio.

Section 2

Sergio calls in with a warm tone and an insightful Bible question: who was the unnamed Levite at the end of Judges? Dave praises Sergio’s spiritual journey and encourages him as he begins the book of Ruth. In answering the question, Dave provides a layered theological insight. He explains that some biblical figures go unnamed because God simply chose not to reveal their names—perhaps to encourage us to emulate their faith without being distracted by titles. He notes that naming omissions aren't necessarily negative; even Judas was named. There’s also a personal devotional twist: maybe God leaves names out so that we can imagine ourselves in those faithful roles. Dave transitions to football with humor and affirmation—“Go Cowboys… but also Go Lions.”

Section 3

The second half transitions into a devotional teaching from Matthew 13 about the wheat and the weeds. Dave emphasizes how important it is for Christians to discern truth from deception—not by studying every falsehood, but by knowing the truth deeply. He dismantles common misinterpretations of God's love and calls out false gospels that justify sin. Citing New Testament examples, he reminds listeners that repentance—not comfort—is at the core of the Christian message. Dave ends with powerful prayers: for Corey’s husband to find a blessed job opportunity, and for the audience to “relax in God's goodness.” He prays for spiritual discernment, a passion for Scripture, and unshakable commitment to truth. The segment closes with a joyful reminder that truth sets us free—and truth is the Word of God.
