    The Covenant God Won’t Break

    The Covenant God Won’t Break, Episode 33 In this episode of At the Sycamore Tree, Jeff, Tanner, and Chris continue their conversation about eternal security, free will, and the dangers of treating “once saved, always saved” as a blanket statement.  Salvation cannot be earned, and nothing has the power to snatch us away from God—but Scripture also warns believers about falling away, being hardened by sin, and the need to endure to the end.  Through Hebrews, Jesus’ words to Peter, and the picture of a marriage covenant, they explore the difference between struggling with sin and willfully choosing to walk away from the faith.  What responsibility do we have after receiving God’s free gift of grace? 📖 Scriptures in today’s teaching: Hebrews 10v26 Hebrews 3v12-14 Luke 22v31-32 🌱 Want to sow into the ministry: 🔗: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/sycamore-tree-partners 🌳About the Podcast Just like Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree to see Jesus, this space exists to help you rise above the noise, quiet your heart, and encounter Him in a deeper way.

    You Can’t Be Snatched Away… But You Can Walk Away

    You Can’t Be Snatched Away… But You Can Walk Away, Episode 32 In this episode of At the Sycamore Tree, Jeff, Tanner, and Chris continue the conversation around “once saved, always saved” by digging into some of the Scriptures at the center of the debate.  What does it mean to be sealed by the Holy Spirit? What did Jesus mean when He said no one can snatch us from His hand? And how does our God-given free will fit into eternal security? After hearing the pushback from a previous episode, they take a closer look at these passages, unpack the meaning of apostasy and the difference between being secure in God and choosing to walk away from Him. 📖 Scriptures in today’s teaching: Ephesians 1v13-14 John 10v28-29 Romans 8v38-39 Hebrews 6v4-6 Jeremiah 17v7-10 🌱 Want to sow into the ministry: 🔗: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/sycamore-tree-partners 🌳About the Podcast Just like Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree to see Jesus, this space exists to help you rise above the noise, quiet your heart, and encounter Him in a deeper way.

    3 Guys. 1 Savior.

    3 Guys. 1 Savior. Episode 31 In this episode of At the Sycamore Tree, Jeff introduces Tanner Tabor and Chris Penn, two close friends who will be joining him to tackle tough questions about Scripture and the Christian life.  Before those conversations begin, Tanner and Chris share the stories behind their faith—from running from God's call and wrestling with surrender to an encounter with Jesus that broke years of drugs and alcohol.  Their stories look very different, but both point to what happens when knowing about God becomes a real relationship with Him. Watch as they share where they've been, what God has changed and what they're still learning as they follow Jesus. ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 – Coming Up 0:18 – Meet the guys 14:41 – Tanner’s Testimony 27:31 – Chris’ Testimony 39:31 – Closing Prayer 🌱 Want to sow into the ministry: 🔗: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/sycamore-tree-partners 🌳About the Podcast Just like Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree to see Jesus, this space exists to help you rise above the noise, quiet your heart, and encounter Him in a deeper way.

    Are You the Weak Link?

    Are You the Weak Link?, Episode 29 In this episode of At the Sycamore Tree, Jeff continues the conversation with Rashelle about what it means to be healthy, healed, and whole—not simply for yourself, but for the calling God has placed on your life.  They unpack spiritual disciplines like speaking life, praising through difficulty, and knowing who you are in Christ, while also looking at practical ways to care for your body and address problems at their root.  As part of the Body of Christ, each of us has a role to fulfill.

    Are You Eating to Live or Living to Eat?

    Catch the previous episode: https://youtu.be/5cahdcEOxG4 Are You Eating to Live or Living to Eat?, Episode 28 In this episode of At the Sycamore Tree, Jeff and Rashelle continue the Healthy Living series by taking a closer look at our relationship with food.  We often think about what it means to take care of our bodies, but rarely do we consider overeating, gluttony, or a lack of self-control in the same way we view other harmful habits. Rashelle shares how God connected her calling in healthcare with a desire to help others live healthier, while offering practical ways to make better choices without becoming overwhelmed.  This conversation isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning to listen to the Holy Spirit, practice self-control, and care for the body God has given you. ❕Today’s Takeaway: Eat to live; don’t live to eat. 📖 Scriptures in today’s teaching: 1 Corinthians 6v19-20 Genesis 1v29 Proverbs 23v19-21 Philippians 3v18-19 Titus 1v12-13 _______________________________________________________________ CONNECT WITH BACK TO EDEN WELLNESS: 💻 Website: https://backtoeden-wellness.com/📧 Email: rashelle@backtoeden-wellness.com📱Phone: (270) 704-5456 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_backtoedenwellness?igsh=MWp2cW55NHIxaWVybw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574736444452&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=NJq8WrIII6EGJZzE&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1D7vRPzyZy%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@_backtoedenwellness?_r=1&_t=ZP-91H2aGnZNiZ _______________________________________________________________ SOURCES: Diabetes Map: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cdn.statcdn.com/Infographic/images/normal/18160.jpeg&tbnid=nZ8wUtCHa_8XtM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https://www.statista.com/chart/18160/us-states-with-highest-diabetes-rates/?srsltid%3DAfmBOoqQx9eVHxFo9ewPzvXmtcu5DmyXcMLjNDLftLiIZVvRkjDp4_9A&docid=wqObd9tKv0A83M&w=960&h=684&hl=en&source=sh/x/im/m1/5&kgs=3bb3284c151fe3f1&shem=epsd1,nisbtsa2,nisbtsal,rimspwouoe&utm_source=epsd1,nisbtsa2,nisbtsal,rimspwouoe,sh/x/im/m1/5 Heart Disease Map: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://assets.newsweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2698217-heart-disease-america-map.jpg&imgrefurl=https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-states-highest-rates-death-heart-disease-2110132&h=2000&w=3000&tbnid=6uxha968e50vpM&source=sa.im&usg=AI4_-kRImpz_61HucxriBN5AETNmArxYVg&shem=epsd1,nisbtsa2,nisbtsal,rimspwouoe&vet=1&docid=r9H1IEE2P78leM Cancer Map: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://i.insider.com/590cb5ad52b5d820008b4b29?width%3D600%26format%3Djpeg%26auto%3Dwebp&imgrefurl=https://www.businessinsider.com/map-of-cancer-rates-in-the-united-states-2017-5&h=340&w=600&tbnid=6wJOyPZ7n5nNKM&source=sa.im&usg=AI4_-kQ0aI5t-9cx0S9axf1jyf_yKmjKfA&shem=epsd1,nisbtsa2,nisbtsal,rimspwouoe&vet=1&docid=GbBqHP5Vm0cXvM Bible Belt:https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/lookaside/crawler/media/?media_id%3D1408148872930208&imgrefurl=https://www.facebook.com/SimonGerman600/photos/share-of-the-us-population-that-believes-in-god-the-term-bible-belt-exists-for-a/1408148872930208/&h=683&w=960&tbnid=nSgJhnbW-Yga8M&source=sa.im&usg=AI4_-kSVDEXX6_T0d_iGor7EjahJHbQtag&shem=epsd1,nisbtsa2,nisbtsal,rimspwouoe&vet=1&docid=4MKV9O9LDW-WEM 🌱 Want to sow into the ministry: 🔗: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/sycamore-tree-partners 🌳About the Podcast Just like Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree to see Jesus, this space exists to help you rise above the noise, quiet your heart, and encounter Him in a deeper way.

    What Happens When You Abide

    What Happens When You Abide, Episode 26 In this episode of At the Sycamore Tree, we conclude the I AM series by continuing to look at Jesus' final statement: "I am the true vine." What does it actually mean to abide in Christ? Scripture reveals that remaining connected to Jesus changes everything—from our prayers and our obedience to the fruit we produce and the joy we experience. This episode explores why abiding isn't just another Christian idea—it's the source of the life God created us to live. If you've ever wondered how to stay spiritually healthy and faithful in a world pulling you away from Christ, this episode is for you. ❕Today’s Takeaway: A connected life becomes a fruitful life. 📖 Scriptures in today’s teaching: John 15v7-11 NLT John 15v18-19 NLT John 16v33 NLT Galatians 5v19-23 NLT Luke 22v31-32 NLT Hebrews 13v15 NLT 🌱 Want to sow into the ministry: 🔗: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/sycamore-tree-partners 🌳About the Podcast Just like Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree to see Jesus, this space exists to help you rise above the noise, quiet your heart, and encounter Him in a deeper way.
