People all over the world have been impacted by the death of Charlie Kirk. People all over the world have been awakened to spiritual things. People all over the world have been emblazened to stand for our King. God has always had a remnant. This is not the time for God's remnant to keep our heads down until Jesus comes. This is the time for God's remnant to rise up and live, love, and speak with courage for our faith! Anchored in Romans 15:13, we discuss clinging to God’s promises, doing the next right thing, loving Christ passionately, teaching children diligently, acknowledging spiritual warfare, praying fervently, and speaking truth courageously.   Scriptures Referened: Deuteronomy 6:7 II Samuel 6:14 Psalm 30:5; 119:2 Esther 4:16 Isaiah 60:1 Micah 6:8 Acts 28:31 Romans 11:5; 15:13 Ephesians 6:12 Hebrews 10:24-25 James 5:16   Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

Psalm 127:4 "As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth." Every Christian is called to spiritual warfare, using two scriptural weapons: the sword (the Word of God) and the arrow (children, Psalm 127:4). Simeon and I discuss how arrows—our children—must be prepared, aimed, and fired to reach their potential. As Christian parents, we prepare and aim our children in their youth, then release them to fight the good fight of faith.   Scriptures Referenced: Deuteronomy 6:6-9 Psalm 127:4-5 Proverbs 22:6 Matthew 4:1-11 Ephesians 6:12, 17   Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.
