🎙️ Episode 2: The "Stodge" of Spiritual StubbornnessSeries: The Stodge of the Soul Subtitle: How Our Own "Goodness" Becomes a Wall to PrayerEpisode Summary: We often blame our obvious sins for why our prayers aren't answered, but Oswald Chambers suggests something more radical: the "stodge" is often produced by our virtues. When we think a part of us doesn't need the Atonement, we become spiritually stubborn.Key Scripture (CSB): 📖 "Since they were ignorant of the righteousness of God and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness." — Romans 10:3Main Highlights:🚧 The Virtue Barrier: How our "right" ideas create a wall between us and God’s interests.😤 The Petulance Trap: Why we get annoyed with God when He doesn’t follow our "good" blueprints.🏺 Whited Sepulchers: The danger of establishing our own righteousness in the industry and the church.🩸 The Atonement Check: Realizing that every "good" part of us still needs the Cross.Reflect & Intercede: What "virtue" are you holding onto so tightly that it’s keeping you from submitting to God’s way of fixing a situation?Subscribe to the Jesus Company podcast NOW, its on all the podcast Tag us!🔗 Listen, subscribe, and leave a review to help others find Jesus CompanySubscribe to Jesus Company podcast now! 📲❤️Here are some helpful linksJesus Company on Apple PodcastsJesus Company on SpotifyJesus Comany on Amazon MusicJesus Company on DeezeriHeart Jesus Company Podcast🔗 transformthiscity.org📱 @JesusCoOfficial on X | Search "Jesus Company" on your podcast app📱 Connect with Us:💻 Website: Jesus Company is the home base for the podcast, and there are some additional links to podcast players that host the show!💻 Website: gwot.rocks home page 📺 YouTube: "Other Things with...
