May 19 – Check Your Circle

from The Daily Word · host LakeshoreCF

In today’s episode, Pastor Brandon Dirmann shares a devotion from 2 Thessalonians 3, where Paul instructs believers to withdraw from close relationships with those who continually walk outside the ways of God. This message highlights the powerful influence relationships have on both our character and the direction of our lives. While believers are called to love and reach people who do not know Jesus, there is a difference between influencing others and deeply intertwining our lives with people who consistently pull us away from God’s ways. Pastor Brandon encourages listeners to honestly evaluate their closest relationships and consider whether those connections are helping them grow spiritually or leading them toward compromise. As we trust God enough to obey Him in this area, He faithfully provides the healthy community and relationships we need to continue growing in Christ.Today’s Reading:May 19 – Isaiah 19–22; 2 Thessalonians 3
