What Then Say You

Keith & Tunisha Barnes

Welcome to the show! In this podcast my wife and I have candid conversations about various topics that will encourage and at times challenge you! The greatest conversations ever had are typically amongst friends in an intimate setting. This is the venue in which the Holy Spirit often works to separate the chaff from the wheat in our lives if we are being honest with ourselves. We hope as you peer behind the veil and join us that you take what you hear and consider it with Gods word in your own life.

    Salvation Is Not Passive, So Now What

    What Then Say You? If you’ve ever wondered why you still struggle after you “did all the right things,” you’re not alone. We sit down as husband and wife and get honest about a misconception that quietly breaks a lot of believers: the idea that salvation means growth will just happen to you while you wait. We talk about the tension between grace and effort, why “trying” is not automatically legalism, and how real Christian discipleship requires awake, daily participation with the Holy Spirit. We lean on Ephesians 6 and the Armor of God, using a soldier analogy that makes it click: nobody goes to war wearing gym clothes with a single weapon. You gear up, on purpose. Paul’s language is the same, take it up, put it on, carry it, stand. We also take on the shallow version of “it is finished” and ask the hard question: finished for what? We connect Hebrews, James, and Romans 13 to show how faith and obedience work together, why “make no provision for the flesh” is so direct, and how God’s light exposes what we keep trying to excuse. Then we bring it into real life: phones, ads, scrolling, desires that start small and end up owning your attention. Spiritual warfare often feels like an insurgency, constant, subtle, hard to identify, and exhausting. We close by reframing holiness as servanthood, resisting the urge to treat people like the enemy, and choosing to stay children of the day who are aware, accountable, and ready to love the person in front of us. If this challenged you, share it with a friend, subscribe so you don’t miss the next conversation, and leave a review that tells us what part hit home most.
