June 4 – When Values Diverge

In today’s episode, Pastor Brandon Dirmann shares a devotion from Romans 16, where Paul warns believers to be mindful of those who cause division by living contrary to the teachings of Christ. This message explores the reality that not every strained relationship is the result of unforgiveness or conflict—sometimes separation occurs because people choose fundamentally different values and convictions. Pastor Brandon reminds listeners that followers of Jesus are called to live according to the truth of God’s Word rather than according to personal desires, cultural pressures, or what simply feels right. While believers are never called to respond with bitterness, hostility, or condemnation, they are called to exercise wisdom regarding the influences they allow into their lives. As we remain anchored in Scripture, we can continue to pray for, encourage, and love those who have wandered from the faith, while also guarding our own hearts and remaining faithful to the truth God has entrusted to us.Today’s Reading:June 4 – Jeremiah 18–21; Romans 16
