06-26-25 part 2: Faith, Fellowship, and the Father’s Presence

Section One

The segment opens with a lighthearted trivia challenge: name the first four books of the New Testament. After providing contact options, the host shares announcements—including an upcoming speaking engagement at Stillwater Community Church in Rowlett—and reminds listeners about resources available at hemustincrease.org. A caller named Shel joins in and correctly answers the trivia with “Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.” The exchange is warm and genuine, filled with humor and mutual encouragement. Shel even shares that he had prayed for the show earlier in the day, and in response, the host offers a heartfelt prayer for him. This moment underscores the show’s blend of biblical engagement and authentic community.

Section Two

The “DNA” segment follows—an acronym encouraging listeners to: Draw closer to the Lord daily, Never be ashamed of Jesus or His words, and Always be ready to serve. These principles are presented not as mere slogans but as essential spiritual practices for a Christ-centered life. The host reflects on the importance of spending daily time with God in His Word and prayer, reiterating the idea that a relationship with God is ongoing and comprehensive, not compartmentalized into select moments. The call to readiness—being alert, prayerful, and responsive to God’s voice—is emphasized as a daily discipline grounded in Jesus’ own instruction to “watch and pray.”

Section Three

The teaching transitions into a powerful reflection from John 16, where Jesus tells His disciples that though they will scatter and leave Him, He is never alone because the Father is with Him. The host draws out the deep comfort of this truth for all believers: no matter how isolated or abandoned one might feel, God’s presence remains constant. This message of divine companionship is reinforced before a second trivia question from James 2:17—“Faith without works is dead.” A caller named Brandon correctly answers and is warmly invited to attend the upcoming church service. The segment wraps with a reading from 2 Thessalonians, focusing on God’s righteous judgment on those who reject Him. The tone throughout blends biblical teaching with relational warmth, personal application, and spiritual exhortation.
