Perry and Shawna Moody Radio

Alone.

After losing his marriage, his ministry, his job – all the things that were his identity, Dave McIntyre, Director of Set Free Global, was invited to enter the process of becoming a contestant on the survival show Alone.

And he was one of 10 selected to be left alone in the rocky, wet terrain of the north end of Vancouver Island, British Colombia.

His heart was full of regret and revenge. He had lost 35 pounds. He was hungry. He was miserable. And he had no one and nothing to distract him from it.

Thirty or so days into his time “alone” he had to face his own sin and the sin of those who had grievously harmed those he loved the most.

What happened? How did it impact him?

Dave joins us to share his incredible story of coming to the end of himself and to the beginning of freedom in Christ.

In our sex-obsessed world, it might seem ironic that men need more talk about sex. But in reality, sexuality is one of the most neglected conversations for men.

The message Shawna grew up with was “Men want sex all the time. They can’t help it.” Where’s God in that? There must be more to the story.

Christian counselor and trauma therapist, Sam Jolman, who specializes in men’s issues joins us to talk about his new book The Sex Talk You Never Got.

Perry, Shawna and Sam talk about pornography, shame, struggling alone, how to have conversations about sex at any age, and God’s good plan for our sexuality.

So, married or single, The Sex Talk You Never Got will help men discover the joy of their God-given sexuality and invite them to celebrate  - rather than struggle against – the gift of sexual desire.

One day you will stand before God, faultless, blameless, without a single sin or stain. What the heck? How is that even possible? Because even the most godly person still has faults right up to their final breath.

Lastly, in the late nights, full days and vacations of summer how do you maintain regular time with Jesus? Shawna shares some of her favorite ways to sneak away with her first love in the summer months.

Who did you look up to as a kid? Maybe a celebrity or professional athlete? Maybe there’s someone you look up to now. What if that person was unable to meet your expectations or if they weren’t here anymore?

Psalms 146 reminds us that people will fail us but God never will. He holds the world in His hands and He is present with us to give us the wisdom we need for life, real time.

Ever stress out about God’s will for your life?  Scott shares how he did earlier in life and what insight from Chuck Swindoll helped him to relax and realize that it would all be okay.

Perry asks “If God created everything good, why has my suffering friend had to suffer all his life?” And Jeff, a Perry and Shawna listener asks similarly, “If God made everything, why is there death?”

Dr. J joins us to answer Bible questions! Dr. Jeremy Grinnell earned his PhD in Systematic Theology from Calvin Seminary in Grand Rapids, MI, and taught graduate level theology for nearly 15 years.

He answers the following Bible questions (including above) from listeners like you.

When we’re reading the Bible how can we know if the promises we’re reading are for the people they were written to, or for us? Jeremiah 29:11 for example.

Perry shares, “God put a passion in my heart for God’s word when I was 16, but I never grew in the word cause I didn’t read it till I was 18! So Jeremy talks about why reading the word is such a big deal.

Then how the scripture transforms us inside out. And Jacqueline asks, “Is the Sabbath meant only for the Jews or is for us as well?”

Next, “What does it mean in Jeremiah that God is married to the backslider?” (It’s a beautiful window in to the astonishing grace of God). And Ronda asks, “Who was the first Jew, Adam, Eve, Abraham??”

What does true Biblical repentance look like? And last Ed asks, “Were humans more wicked before the flood than we are now? And if God judged the world so severely back then and he will destroy it again with fire, what really is God’s heart toward us? I thought he’s a God of love!!”

Abandoned before he was born. Fatherless his entire life. Then He met God.

The first bit of fatherly advice he got from his Heavenly Father was to forgive his earthly dad. He didn’t want to but he did.

He chose to forgive him for abandoning him which was the beginning of his healing journey. Today, he’s grateful for his father’s absence because of what God has done through him because of it.

It was a Sunday morning and pastor Jason was heading out the door when his wife said, “Before you go, give the kids a kiss goodbye.” That was the last time he saw them. He filed a missing person’s report. Thirty days later Jason was served divorce papers.

He spread them out across his bedroom floor and stood on them as he worshiped God, believing that God could do the impossible.

They were divorced. Even though his wife encouraged him to move on God told Jason to remain “supernaturally stubborn.”

One day Jason said to his wife about her boyfriend, “when he breaks your heart…I will be here.” Four days later Jason and his wife, Christine, were remarried.

Jason Carver is the author of 40 Day Stand: A 40 Day Devotional Empowering You To Stand Supernaturally for Your Marriage. Reminding you that there isn’t anything our God cannot do.  

Also in this episode, Shawna talks about a friend who owed her money. She knew she had really forgiven him when she didn’t remember the amount he owed anymore.

And last, it was 3 long years that Perry and Shawna listener Brian and his bride has no relationship with their son and his wife and their grandkids. There was a rift, Brian longed for it to be made right, but his son had been hurt.
