It's only temporary without God.
"Love is love". I have previously tackled this interesting statement. But it was definitely reactional and it certainly was off the mark. In this particular bible verse it shares what several aspects of God's love is and paints a definitive picture of what love isn't. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ESV [4]...

The Goal: What's the purpose
A deeper explanation for why I do the Worth Living For Podcast. Much love, Shaun

Gossip, Destroys People.
Proverbs 16: 27-29 27 A worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire. 28 A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. 29 A man of violence entices his neighbour and leads him in a way that is not good. Much love, Shaun

God is good: Patience has Purpose
Psalm 27:13-14 13 I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! 14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! Much love, Shaun
-
Free Indeed.
John 8:34-36 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. During this episode I never noticed that Son is...

iIt's not Insignificant
Don't give up just because you feel like, what you're doing is Insignificant. Hold onto your faith and stand firm in your footing. Much love, Shaun
-
Honor.
Respect and honor are foundational principles in Christian relationships, deeply rooted in biblical teachings. These principles are essential for fostering healthy, God-honoring interactions among individuals, whether in familial, marital, or communal contexts. Much Love, Shaun
-
Flee fleshy desires and personal sin.
I don't have a good description for here. So I'll just leave you with this. 2 Timothy 2:22-2422 Run from temptations that capture young people. Always do the right thing. Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with. Worship with people whose hearts are pure. 23 Stay away from stupid and...

-
Father, please teach them.
I will leave this a little vague, so hopefully if you are willing you will listen and hear the heart behind this episode. Thank you to my father for teaching me what you have, in the least 6 to 12 months. And my father-in-law for being willing to teach. Much love, Shaun
-
We are called to be Present, not Perfect.
Hebrews 4:15-16 describes the kind of relationship God wants with us, in that he wants us to be present, not perfect. Because in that verse he tells us that we can come Boldly to the throne of grace. However, when we carry this idea that Jesus only wants relationship with perfect people, isn't…

Prayer & Presence.
Mattew 5:44 "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." We should be in the habit of praying for people…

The Power of Words: Life or Death
Proverbs 18:21 "The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences." NLT "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." ESV I think episode is important because I think we forgot that we do have the power of life and...
-
Words do Hurt.
This one is self-explanatory throughout the entire episode so instead of sharing more dialogue, Please listen for yourself. Much love, Shaun
-
Sex or Sexual Intimacy?
I really wanted to write a great description for this episode, but instead I wanted to leave it vague. But there is a big difference between sex and sexual intimacy, I definitely did not cover everything regarding this topic, and there is room for improvement. However hopefully I was able to...
-
Mental Health: A suffering Servant and a father's son.
I haven't really thought much about the potential mental realisation Jesus must've had. I mean he knew from birth to death, what God was asking of him, and how his life will end. No doubt that Jesus had the emotional, mental and spiritually maturity, to accept responsibility in his father had…

Spriit Breaker - Human Nature
Incredible Album that I wanted to talk about. Much love, Shaun
-
The one who came for Relationship.
Psalm 139:13 -16 is an incredible piece of Scripture, that I wanted to tackle. I hope you enjoy the episode and I hope even more, that it helps you. Like I said I am not an expert, I purely wanted to talk about what these mean to me, and what how God has helped me understand them. If you have any...

Jesus The Redeemer. Featuring Luke Tumelty
Rounding out this series with my good friend Luke. I will mostly do another series like this, and different topics for each episode. I'm not sure yet, but only time will tell. Much love, Shaun
-
The Kingdom of God: Mercy & Grace
Galatians 5:17 "17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do." The kingdom of God is for sinners because Jesus calls us to repentance, by his blood...
-
Jesus Came for Me.
Luke 8:26-39 ESV [26] Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. [27] When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. [28] When he...

(Spoken Word) Tomorrow will come, so live Today.
Tomorrow will have it's own worries so choose today, to live, to believe that God is good and have no worry about the life that may and will occur. Because you are free! Much love, Shaun
-
Prison - Addiction Kills
I heard the new song from Prison, and definitely wanted to talk about it. Much love, Shaun
-
Forgiveness versus Tolerance.
My good friend shared a statement the other day that said 'Don't mistake forgiveness for Tolerance.' And that really sent me down a rabbit hole of thinking about that, especially in the context of Christianity. I mean God literally didn't accept tolerance, in that while we were still sinners…
more -
Comparison in the kingdom of God
Comparison has no place in the kingdom of God, because we all come to a place of repentance at some point, or at the very least, we should. God had no favourite and is always close to anyone who seeks his face, having a genuine heart to spend time in his presence. I really enjoyed doing this...
-
The curse of comments
Social media is a horrible place to spend any of your emotional income. Yet some of us grow extremely poor spending it in a place we shouldn't, we stretch ourselves sop thin, that we don't have any more emotional income to spend in places that truly matter. For me I usually spend most of my...
-
Mean what you say.
Proverbs 12:25 ESV [25] Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. Mean what you say is an incredible album released by Sent by Ravens, the album title, the lyrical content and sheer scope of what this album was trying to say, is something I've always wanted to…

The Air I Breathe.
The Air I breathe was released in 2010 by the band Our Last Night, the album is something I really like and was heard at a time in my life, that caused me to reflect on previous years in my life that I was bullied and didn't want to live anymore. But the song which hit me the most and the year...
-
Patience and Purpose
You won't know what God is doing behind the scenes, you might be suffering, feeling overwhelmed and have thoughts and questions, swirling around in your head. But one thing will always be true, God is faithful to complete the good work he has started, in you and in me. Much love, Shaun
-
Secret Sin: A death in silence
I've mentioned this in previous episodes, but I really want to unpack the impact, and consequence of secret sin, how it hurts you, and how it can also destroy, relationships with the people around you. Secret sin is the sin you try to keep hidden, and unexposed to the ones you love, and those who...
-
God is good.
We throw the statement around sometimes with no explanation, at least I've done so many times. In this episode I really wanted to explain why it's true for me. Much love, Shaun
-
People aren't perfect.
During this episode I try to unpack the thought around, people aren't perfect. The idea that when it comes to you and me, we should always take our thoughts to God, so they are definitely rooted in scripture, so we don't make assumptions about people, we don't even know. I have failed this in the...
-
How to love yourself?
Awhile back I had Ben S Dixon on an episode and he said something, that's stuck in my mind ever since. He said "most people do love themselves, they shower, they eat breakfast, have lunch and dinner. Brush their teeth and wear deodorant." I think we've struggled with understanding the concept of...
-
People pleasing & Perfection.
I don't want to give to much away in the description, I think it's better to hear what I had to say. Not life altering encouragement just an average bloke, sharing something I feel is important. Much love, Shaun
-
Remember your Testimony!
I have thought a lot about this over the last few weeks. It hasn't kept me up at night, but it's definitely caused a lot of reflection, reflecting on how good God is, what his done and continues to do in my life. At the end of the day, I'm not important, I'm not the one to be praised or…

Acceptable behaviour becomes Acceptable sin.
What impact did the covid 19 pandemic have on faith, The church and the behaviour we accept? I try to answer this question based on my experience, and the things I've noticed. You don't have to agree, that's ok, and I would much rather you ask yourself what happen anyway. with love.

Love God and love Other people - with Isaiah from Metal 777
Between the ages of 14-15 I wrote this, looking back at an old google document I had, this convicted me, "I believe that one of the best ways to overcome sin is with love, not any love that the world can provide, but a deep love from God that fills us with love for God and others. (Isaiah) The...

A moment of Clarity with Luke
An episode about mental health, making sure you call a friend, find some accountability partners, who can pray for you and walk with you, during the difficult moments, and also walk with you on your faith journey. Alot to unpack during this episode, but I'm very thankful to have had my best…

Existing Apart: Helping without being asked
This will hopefully be an interesting episode where I talk about, pulling your weight and truly contributing to your marriage. By doing things without having to be asked, or thanked because that's not the reason why you should help. Marriage is a partnership whereby both people put effort into…

The Winepress of Doubt with Zach Mitchell
God tells us to have faith and trust in him, to allow him to take every thought captive so we don't become the prisoner, without hope. But so often doubt creeps in and knee caps, the hope we find in God. Speaking lies that aren't true, to cloud the faith and the work God is doing inside of us. On...
-
What happen in 2009?
2009 was an incredible year, albeit leading up to that year was difficult. But in this episode their's a story, a testimony and a reminder that God is always good.

Wounds will heal as time goes on.
One of my favourite lines from one of my favourite songs by Killswitch Engage. Check out the episode to hear more of my thoughts. Much love, Shaun
-
Forgiveness: For God So Loved the World
I mention a few verses that reflect God's direction when it comes to forgiveness, why is it so important? Why does God talk about it so much in his word. Like many of the things I talk about on this Podcast, I tried my best to tackle this conversation. The verse I mentioned can be seen below....
-
Don't Pass The Blame.
Blame can be an ugly beast that devours us from the inside out. It can turn into bitterness real quick, real fast if we never acknowledge our part in the choices we have made. Blaming other people causes us to live blinded to the fact that we aren't perfect, so we would stop blaming other people...
-
Your Memorial - Re-direct
Re-direct was released in 2012, and it was the third album by Your Memorial on Facedown Records. The album title was straight forward and self explanatory, it was at least to my knowledge. An album about coming back to God, trusting him and being redirected back into a relationship with God. The...
-
Haste The Day - COWARD
Coward was Haste The Day's last album, the finished work poured into 11 songs that are truly incredible. Definitely divided opinions between fans on whether it was their "best" album. But upon reflection theirs a lot to talk about, from the lyrics to the heartfelt passion, Coward is still an...

How do I walk into freedom with my limbs asleep?How do I move through the finite, to eternal things?How does my heart long for home that I’ve never seen?How do I see past the veil of this body? In 2019 the band Comrades released For We Are Not Yet, We Are Only Becoming, and album full of…

Relationship not Perfection.
God wants relationship with us not perfect, when you strive for perfection you end up living for something that cannot save you. Because while we sinners Christ died for us, while we we're distant in our ability to have relationship with God, he sent his one and only son, to pay a debt we never...
-
Hope even when you don't understand.
God is always good, but sometimes when we're in pain or the suffering exist. We forget that God is with us and he is always working, because if you're still alive and you're still breathing, God is not done. Much Love, Shaun

Influence: Good or Bad....
Influence has the power to be good or actually bad. To be an influencer is the influence and encourage people right? I think so definitely, the only problem is this. I don't think some influence's have ever asked themselves if what their doing is good or bad, they've simply set up a camera…
