“We Try to Equally Offend Everyone” - Babylon Bee

It’s so easy to take ourselves too seriously. It’s okay to laugh at ourselves! Babylon Bee is helping us to do that while causing us to think about real issues with their laugh-out-loud fake news stories. Joel Barry is one of the comedic geniuses behind the world-famous satirical news website – Babylon Bee – and coauthor of The Babylon Bee Guide to the Apocalypse. While other books just tell you that we’re doomed and the collapse of western civilization is imminent, only The Babylon Bee Guide to the Apocalypse gives you the tools you need to survive it. If you don’t buy a copy, it’s not like it’s the end of the world. Oh, wait – it is. 😁 Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No Turning Back

Each of us, regardless of our upbringing, must make a decision to follow Jesus. For Shawna it was the moment she prayed, “Even if my family turns away, I will keep following you Jesus.” Perry shares, “The only reason I love Jesus and want to share him with others is because he loved me at my worst. I need to come back to the simplicity of that.” Perry says, “the feelings of shame once told me, ‘what you’ve done wrong is who you are and who you’ll always be.’ I now know for certain that’s a lie; and that’s a gamechanger when I still feel shame.” When we’re going through hard times, we often question God’s goodness. We stand at a crossroads and are forced to choose what we believe about God. Why do some people come through the hardships stronger? There are times when we are so weak, so afraid, that we struggle to even pray. In those times you can pray a powerful one word prayer that Shawna learned when she was afraid.

“I Was the Poster Boy for the Sinful Nature”

E.Z. has endured his own spiritual battles in life. By 15 years old, he had been expelled from two schools, joined the Crips gang, was a rap artist who struggled with substance abuse. He later attempted suicide in front of his family. In 1991, he underwent a profound transformation after hearing the gospel and turned his life over to Christ. By twenty-one, E.Z. was an ordained pastor attending a Christian university, married, and had started a family. Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne is the president of Living Waters (with Ray Comfort), and author of Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal Purity that presents biblical truths and strategies to combat the enemies of purity. Whether the battle is with lust, pornography, sex outside marriage, or adultery and despite how many times we’ve failed to overcome sexual sin, E.Z. assures us that hope is available through the love, forgiveness, and grace of God, which were demonstrated through the death and resurrection of Christ.

If We Learn This, We Could Change the World

Why is everyone so angry all the time? Dr. Jim Wilder of Life Model Works and author of Escaping Enemy Mode: How Our Brains Unite or Divide Us offers that it’s because we are in enemy mode. There are different types of enemy mode. Simple Enemy Mode is when our brains see the person in front of us as a problem to be solved. In that moment, we are not loving others like Jesus does. Stupid Enemy mode is when we respond out of the heat of the moment in a way doesn’t represent who we truly are – we do something “stupid” that we later regret. Intelligent Enemy Mode is when we strategize how to make others lose. We are so focused on #1 that we plan how to use others hurts to hurt them as a means of self-protection. We can easily slip into enemy mode but must intentionally work our way out of it. The good news is, we can learn how to do that! And if we learn to do that, we could change the world! And in this episode... If you are a Christian who battles to live into your God-given identity you’re not alone. Shawna shares how her girlhood dream was to sing the world into love relationship with God. She knew how to package her dream to look good to Christians but it was much more about desiring the praise of others than praising God. Last, Perry’s coming back to the heart of worship. He prays, “Lord I’m sorry for making it about me so many times. Forgive me. Like the Grinch, enlarge my heart. Baptize me again in your love and break my heart for a lost world.” Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“I Was Baptizing Before I Was Baptized!”

Mark Clark grew up in Toronto with no church, no faith, completely skeptical and with an atheist father. He didn’t believe in the resurrection because his modern mind couldn’t believe in miracles plus he was just offended by Jesus teachings. And now he’s a pastor. Wait, what? Mark’s a pastor at Bayside Church in Sacramento and has written some powerful books including The Problem of Jesus: Answering a Skeptics' Challenges to the Scandal of Jesus. Then Shawna’s daughter who lives in the Czech Republic is home! Yesterday Shawna and Bryn ran errands together. Facetime is great but being WITH her is way better! Through the Holy Spirit we get to be WITH God - all day - every day! Next, every single person in the world is a disciple. Every single person is being formed by some world view. The process of being a disciple of Jesus is being deprogrammed from the ideologies of the world and then into the Jesus way. Then, I don’t know if you’ve ever been blindsided by life’s storms. Yesterday a friend shared with Shawna that their marriage is struggling. The storms of life can come up out of nowhere and blindside us. Jesus offers a peace to us that the world cannot offer, and the world cannot take. No matter what is going on in the world, or your world, you can still experience peace today. Last, with yesterday’s US election there are certainly people on the right who are saying, “We beat those losers.” And then people on the left saying, “Those uneducated barbarians have ruined our country.” What’s at the root of both of these sentiments is pride. Something Jesus is very much against. It’s a conversation about religion/politics and the gospel.

Living Life with My Zipper Down

Shawna jumped up and wrapped a stranger in a hug so she could whisper in her ear, “Your zipper’s down.” She wanted her to know the truth. God is the friend who will always lovingly tell you the truth. Perry shares, “I wonder if you’ve ever felt like giving up. I have.” Perry’s been in a season of wrestling with regrets and wondering if his work is making any difference. As Shawna was promising her daughter that she would never leave her, their hands ripped apart and they went in completely opposite directions. Epic Mom fail! Shawna’s so grateful that God keeps His promises. The way of Jesus in not climbing the ladder of success. It’s descending down into the pit where he shows us just how much he loves us and it’s where he molds us into people who can heal our world. Shawna’s been wrestling with anxiety. Perry’s been wrestling with regret. And yet they both share, “I’ve got peace that makes no sense.” A conversation about how that’s even possible.
