Summary

To be human is to worship. Or put another way, to be human is to be a creature of ultimate desire. We worship the things that we desire and seek after most, because we look to these for satisfaction, peace and completeness. Though we are created to know and love the One who made us, our sin leads us to believe the lie that our ultimate satisfaction and well being can be found in other things. This really is the essence of sin: placing ultimate hope for satisfaction in anything outside of God. This is also what makes our lives so complicated. This is why we struggle with so many things that we know are wrong. Our hearts and our desires often run deeper than we can see directly. The heart is a deep well of mystery. Thus, we have a hard time identifying the sources of our daily struggles. This week on the podcast we sit down with my wife and talk about how the gospel of Jesus comes in to destroy our idols and equip us to expose those idols and uproot them, replacing them with a deeper and richer life of worship. Enjoy the show!

An overcomer is one who prevails, despite the difficulties. If you are a child of God, YOU are already an overcomer. Jesus said, "in this world you will have many troubles, but take heart, I have overcome the world." (John 16:13) "Take heart" means the same as "overcome". So, in other words, Jesus is inviting us to "overcome" for He has already "overcome". This means good news for you! You are already an overcomer no matter what your position in your problem is right now. This is the "Sounds of Surviving Overcomers, Overcome" Podcast. A podcast by an overcomer FOR overcomers. On this podcast you'll hear some powerful sounds of overcomers (in song and in stories). You'll hear some of my own story as well. Listen to the stories of others (regular people, just like you and me). In this way, we encourage, uplift and hold one another's arms up and say, "you are not alone"! God is faithful and Christ in YOU is the HOPE of GLORY. Deliverance is by the blood of the Lamb
