    You Will Know Them by Their Fruit | Matthew 7:15-27

    Click to Comment! We're closing out the entire Sermon on the Mount this week, and it's a good one. Ever had a friend who talked a great game and then completely disappeared the second things got hard? Same. This week we're covering false prophets and fruit, the "Lord, Lord" warning that should make all of us a little uncomfortable, and the wise and foolish builders, the finale everybody knows even if they don't know it's from the Bible. Plus, I finally admit my mama has been right about people her entire life (annoying, honestly but did I inherit that from her?), we bring in Galatians 5 and the fruits of the Spirit, and I tell y'all a story about our own house's foundation that I've never shared publicly much before. In this episode: How to actually spot a fake, in others and in yourselfWhy "Lord, Lord" and doing impressive things isn't the same as being known by GodThe wise and foolish builders, and why both houses face the exact same stormA story about what's literally buried under our front doorOne simple thing to check in your own life this weekMentioned in this episode: JoAnne's Prayer Action Warriors — praying the Lord's Prayer over people every day at noon.

    Ask, Seek, Knock | Matthew 7:7-14

    Click to Comment! "Ask and you shall receive" gets quoted like it's the simplest math problem in the world — until you've actually lived long enough to ask for something and not get it. This week we're covering more ground than usual: prayer (verses 7-11), the Golden Rule (verse 12), and the narrow gate (verses 13-14), all in one episode. We talk about what "keep on asking" really means, why unanswered prayer doesn't mean an absent God, why the Golden Rule is a lot harder to live than it is to cross-stitch, and why the narrow gate costs something every single time. Plus — I finally admit on mic just how terrified of snakes I actually am, and why that matters for this passage. In this episode: Why "ask, seek, knock" isn't a one-time prayerWhat it means to trust God's timeline instead of our ownThe Golden Rule: going first instead of waiting your turnWhy the narrow gate is narrow, and why most people never find itOne simple thing to actually do with all of this, starting this weekMentioned in this episode: JoAnne's Prayer Action Warriors — praying the Lord's Prayer over people every day at noon.  Come hang out with me at SimplyBlessedDesignz.com, and if this episode blessed you, consider buying me a coffee at ko-fi.com/simplyblesseddesignz — every bit helps keep this podcast going.

    Who Made You the Judge? | Matthew 7:1-6

    Click to Comment! The "do not judge" verse gets thrown around more than almost any line in the whole Bible — usually right after somebody got caught doing something they shouldn't have. But there's a whole lot more going on in Matthew 7:1-6 than most of us realize. This week we're talking about the kind of judging that doesn't even feel like judging — the fast, quiet, automatic kind. The mugshot on Facebook. The yard sign. The stranger you sized up before they said a word. We dig into the speck and the log, why Jesus calls it a "critical spirit," and how this same theme runs from Genesis all the way through the New Testament. Plus — a story from my hometown about a man everybody thought they had figured out, and didn't. In this episode: Why "don't judge" doesn't mean "turn off your brain"The speck and the log, and why it's kind of ridiculous when you picture itHow judgment shows up throughout the entire Bible, Old Testament to NewA practical, doable way to trade judgment for prayer this weekMentioned in this episode: JoAnne's Prayer Action Warriors (PAW) — praying the Lord's Prayer over people every day at noon.  Come hang out with me at SimplyBlessedDesignz.com, and if this episode blessed you, consider buying me a sweet tea at ko-fi.com/simplyblesseddesignz — every bit helps keep this podcast going.

    I Need to Clean Out My Shed (Matthew 6:19-34)

    Click to Comment! I've got two sheds, and one that was supposed to be my business headquarters is now just full of stuff, three years deep. This week we're digging into treasure, worry, and serving two masters — why Jesus says don't store up what can rot, rust, or get stolen, why worry is really a faith issue in disguise, and why I'm finally cleaning out that shed.

    Last Resort Is Not Where God Belongs (Matthew 6:5-18)

    Click to Comment! Jesus talks about prayer and fasting back to back in this chapter, and it comes down to the same question both times — are you doing this for God, or for an audience? We're digging into what real, private prayer looks like, why "don't babble" doesn't mean "pray less," what fasting has to do with a reels ad I saw the other day, and a special invitation to join a daily prayer movement started by my friend JoAnne.

    Why Giving in Secret Matters More Than You Think (Matthew 6:1-4)

    Click to Comment! We're starting a new chapter this week — Matthew 6. Jesus talks about giving to people in need, and He's not just concerned with whether we give, but why and how. We're digging into what it actually looks like to give without needing anybody to see it, why the size of the gift matters less than what it costs you, and why this might be one of the hardest things to actually live in our day to day lives.

    Loving People Who Hurt You — Is That Even Possible? (Matthew 5:43-48)

    Click to Comment! Last week we talked about not getting even. This week Jesus takes it even further — love your enemies, pray for the people who've hurt you. We're digging into what that actually means, how it's different from just "not retaliating," and what it looks like to genuinely love someone who's wronged you, from small everyday hurts to the really heavy stuff.

    Why Getting Even Never Actually Feels Good (Matthew 5:38-42)

    Click to Comment! "An eye for an eye" — we've all heard it, and most of us have used it wrong. This week we're digging into what Jesus actually says about revenge, why "don't retaliate" is only half the plan, and what it really looks like to kill 'em with kindness when someone's wronged you.
