    Ep. 45 - The Surprising Truth About Faith, Family, and Redemption

    In this episode of Greatness from Small Beginnings, Keith L. Callaway shares a profound story of legacy, struggle, and redemption, drawing from the biblical narrative of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Keith reflects on how these patriarchs—though flawed—were redeemed by God’s grace and their lives were pivotal in fulfilling God's promises.

His wife’s well-meaning interference created strife, but in the end, God’s promise prevailed.

Jacob’s Conflict: Jacob, favored over his brother Esau, deceived to gain his birthright, creating family conflict. This tension was eventually resolved through reconciliation. God’s Grace: Keith draws parallels between these biblical stories and our modern lives, emphasizing that even the most flawed individuals are redeemed through grace and mercy. Personal Reflection: Keith opens up about his own struggles with anxiety and doubt, reflecting on how God's grace continues to guide him through challenges, just as it did for the patriarchs.

    Ep. 44 - Does God Really Help Those Who Help Themselves?

    In this episode, Keith L. Callaway challenges a widely believed myth: “God helps those who help themselves.” While this phrase isn’t explicitly found in the Bible, Keith walks through various scriptures and biblical principles that show the value of personal responsibility, diligence, and faith in action. Key passages from Proverbs, James, and Galatians are highlighted to explore the relationship between faith and works. Key Points: Debunking the Myth: The phrase “God helps those who help themselves” isn’t directly in the Bible, but biblical principles like diligence, hard work, and faith in action reflect its spirit. Proverbs 10:4 & Proverbs 21:5: Keith discusses how these verses emphasize the importance of diligent work, contrasting laziness with wealth and prosperity, which extends beyond money. Faith and Action (James 2:17): Faith without works is dead—highlighting that genuine faith must be accompanied by action and personal responsibility. The Parable of the Talents: Keith dives into this parable to demonstrate how God expects us to use and multiply what we are given through responsible stewardship. Jose Hernandez Quote: "The harder I work, the luckier I get" — hard work leads to blessings, emphasizing the need to put effort into your endeavors. Takeaways: Personal responsibility is deeply tied to biblical principles. God expects action alongside faith—true faith shows through works. Diligence and planning are key to success and financial stewardship. Wisdom and seeking guidance from God can lead to the right decisions, especially in challenging situations.
