06-23-25 part 2: When Faith Falters and God Still Shows Up
Section One
The show kicks off with technical efforts, a new number announcement, and an ID for 770 KAAM. From there, it dives into a spiritual theme central to the program’s DNA: Draw closer to the Lord daily, Never be ashamed of Jesus and His words, and Always be ready to share your faith. The host stresses the importance of remembering what Christians are made of spiritually, especially in times of uncertainty or trial. He encourages believers not to be swayed by the endless stream of changing news but to root themselves in the unchanging nature of their faith and identity in Christ.
Section Two
The Genesis teaching resumes with the story of Abraham receiving God’s promise about Sarah bearing a child. Abraham’s response of “Sure” is explored with both humor and empathy, acknowledging how even great people of faith have moments of hesitation or doubt. This leads to a reflection on Galatians, where believers are reminded they are Abraham’s descendants through faith. The lesson is clear: moments of internal doubt are normal, and they do not disqualify anyone from faithfulness. The comparison between Mary’s faith-filled question and Zechariah’s doubt-filled denial further distinguishes how we approach God with uncertainty.
Section Three
The show continues with a discussion on the sovereignty of God and how He doesn’t require our approval or suggestions to carry out His plans. The host admits to moments of faltering faith—particularly when praying for provision—and likens this to the disciples in the storm wondering if Jesus would let them drown. The reminder is powerful: Jesus isn’t asleep. He is risen, reigning, and attentive. There is comfort in knowing God accomplishes His will on His timeline, and our role is to trust Him rather than try to control or predict the outcome.
Section Four
The program then transitions to interaction with listeners through trivia and call-ins, lightened with humor and joy, including a “Cool Whip” sound clip and reflections on listener submissions like original songs. A caller shares about a family loss, and the host prays for wisdom and compassion. He highlights the importance of being a godly representative in difficult family dynamics without being judgmental. This segment blends laughter, connection, and spiritual encouragement, reinforcing the show’s theme of genuine Christian community and support.
Section Five
In closing, the host revisits Abraham’s attempt to redirect God’s plan, pointing out how we often try to offer alternatives to divine promises. God responds firmly but mercifully, clarifying that His covenant would be with Isaac, not Ishmael. This becomes a clear warning against manipulating God or assuming we know better. The host confesses his own struggles with trying to control ministry outcomes and leads listeners in a prayer of repentance. He closes with a call to prayer, not money, asking for spiritual support as the show moves forward—trusting God, not leaning on human manipulation, to fulfill His purposes.
