We Keep Trading Truth For Approval

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single Psalm can feel like it was written for the headlines. We start with Psalm 54 and its urgent cry, “Rescue me,” then connect that prayer to the real-world weight of violence and the need for God’s protection in our homes and communities. I also take time to pray for you and your family, for our military, police, firefighters, EMS, and for leaders in the pulpit and in government, because faith has to show up in what we ask for and what we do next.From there we move into straightforward biblical teaching on marriage and family from Colossians 3:18–21. It’s not trendy, and it’s not designed to win applause, but it is designed to build a stable home. If you care about Christian marriage, raising kids with courage, and bringing your daily life under the lordship of Jesus Christ, this portion is meant to be practical and clarifying.Then we read Mark 15 all the way through the trial, Barabbas, the crowd’s demand, the crucifixion, and the burial of Jesus. Along the way, I stop and ask what envy and mob pressure look like in modern life, and why the cross still confronts us with the cost of sin and the meaning of mercy. We also return to Psalm 54 and Proverbs 11, then shift into remembrance of September 11, honoring sacrifice through a Medal of Honor citation, and reading John Adams on religion, virtue, and the foundations of freedom.If this encourages you, subscribe, share the show with someone you love, and leave a review so more people can find it.#JohnAdams#DailyScripture#VirtueSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483
