Sin's Whisper and God's Unshakable Love - Psalm 36:1 -12 | August 19, 2026

Welcome back to One Single Story! Today Pastor Stephen Mizell and Pastor Jay Rivenbark are joined by Pastor Wendy Korbusieski for a conversation about how sin quietly whispers to us, why self-awareness matters, and how God's love can be pictured as something unmovable and unshakable. Scripture Focus: Psalm 36:1-12 - David contrasts the self-deceiving whispers of sin in the wicked heart with the vast, unshakable, and covenant-keeping love of God, pictured through the imagery of mountains, oceans, and the shelter of His wings. In This Episode: How sin whispers to the wicked and gradually blinds them to their own faults Staying teachable, staying in community, and guarding against the dangers of isolation Why self-reliance and isolation often lead to self-delusion Comparing God's unfailing love to the towering mountains and the fathomless depths of the ocean The covenant imagery behind "shelter in the shadow of your wings" and its connection to Ruth and Boaz Living with an interpretive "baseline" of truth through daily intimacy with God A lighthearted detour into lie detector tests and using them as a picture of spiritual baseline truth Key Quote: "Self-delusion starts when we self-rely, which comes from isolation."
