06-20-25 part 1: Stirred Minds and Unshakable Truth

Section 1

This segment opens with a reflection on the Sabbath and the idea that spiritual practices can be meaningful without becoming legalistic. The host encourages listeners to consider what the Lord has been teaching them throughout the week. Using his own spiritual journey from Monday to Friday, he shows how each day brings unique challenges and insights. He urges listeners to embrace these lessons, especially the recurring one: letting go and trusting God. Through humor and honesty, the message resonates with the common spiritual experience of wrestling with growth and surrender.

Section 2

The show invites interaction through calls, texts, and emails, emphasizing connection among listeners across cities and countries. The host underscores the importance of testimonies, highlighting their threefold impact: strengthening the speaker, encouraging fellow believers, and glorifying God. He reminds listeners that their true purpose is to bring glory to God, not to chase material or earthly goals. The value of praise reports and prayer requests is framed as deeply transformative, reinforcing the communal and spiritual power of shared experiences and intercession.

Section 3

The teaching segment continues in 2 Peter 3, where Peter calls believers to wholesome thinking by remembering the teachings of both the prophets and apostles. The host stresses that repetition in Scripture is not a flaw but a design to reinforce vital truths. He cites Philippians 4:8 to emphasize meditating on what is good and godly. A colorful anecdote about O.L. Spears is used to reinforce the message: think it right, say it right, do it right, and it will be all right. Peter's emphasis on holy reminders connects the Old and New Testaments, revealing that both are valuable for spiritual growth and understanding.

Section 4

The discussion ends with Peter’s warning about scoffers who deny the coming of the Lord and mock believers. The host points out that these critics often deny even historical events like the flood and twist creation into creator worship. He reassures listeners that such mocking is a small price to pay compared to the eternal glory ahead. The ridicule Christians face in media, academia, or politics pales in comparison to the joy awaiting them. He closes with a heartfelt prayer, affirming God's presence and truth while encouraging believers to stay stirred in heart and mind toward Jesus, regardless of worldly opposition.
