🌟 Ever wondered how powerful your words truly are? 💪🏼 In this episode, Monk & I (Macc) explore the profound impact of our speech on our lives and those around us.💫 We uncover how the tongue reflects our heart's condition. 💖 Our words reveal what is truly in our hearts, whether it's life-giving purity or destructive corruption. 📖 As Matthew 12:34-35 and Luke 6:45 remind us, "the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." 💞 We also delve into the dual nature of words. They can build up⬆️ or tear down⬇️. 📖 Ephesians 4:29 and Proverbs 12:18 guide us to speak words that edify, encourage, and uplift others, avoiding destructive speech that wounds and destroys.💥 Moreover, we discuss the power of the tongue to bless or curse. Choose to bless ✝️ rather than curse, recognizing that our words can either invoke God's blessing or invite curses, as highlighted in 📖 James 3:9-10 and Proverbs 18:21. ⚠️ Guarding our speech to reflect Christ is crucial‼️ Be intentional with your words, avoiding gossip, slander, and idle talk that misrepresent Christ. Align your words with God's will, His ways, and His Word, declaring His promises over your life and others. ❤️🔥✝️❤️🔥 🔥🚨 We’ve got to stand up to our flesh and start recognizing the power of words to influence spiritual and natural realities! 💯 Your words can influence circumstances, blessings, and spiritual atmospheres! 💪🏼💥 So, avoid speaking death through negativity and doubt, but choose faith-filled words aligned with God's truth. 📖✝️📖 🌎 As Monk mentions, we need to cultivate the normalization of speaking truth from a place of love. 🫶🏼🤲🏼 Develop a habit of speaking faith, hope, and love, which manifest God's kingdom realities. 🏆Remember, the power of life and death are a responsibility, which comes with the tongue. Strive to speak life consistently. 📣✅🫵🏼 Join us in this transformative journey as we learn to speak words that manifest God's blessings and disarm the enemy.

(Joel 2:28)The Urgency of the Times† Bible Verse: "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light." (Romans 13:11-12)The Great Falling Away† Bible Verse: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." (2 Thessalonians 2:3)Unexpected Converts† Bible Verse: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)The Power of Testimony† Bible Verse: "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." (Revelation 12:11)The Battle Between Flesh and Spirit† Bible Verse: "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would." (Galatians 5:17)The Role of the Church† Bible Verse: "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:24-25)The Danger of Lukewarm Faith† Bible Verse: "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

✝️🔓 Unlock the Power of Perseverance‼️🏆🫰🏼 Join us in this transformative episode as we delve into the profound insights shared by Pastor Jason Blanchard of Thriving House Church (listed as Show Notes below).✨ Discover how perseverance isn't just about enduring hardships but about praising God through every trial. ⛓️💥 From the inspiring story of Sarah, who worshipped through her chronic illness, to the unwavering faith of biblical heroes like Job and Joseph, this episode will uplift your spirit and strengthen your faith. ❤️🔥🙏 Tune in and be inspired to persevere with faith, hope, and love. 🙏Show Notes by Pastor Jason Blanchard of Thriving House Church, Port Arthur, TX:1. Perseverance isn’t passive—it’s praise in motion. The idea is, worshiping during the waiting. Think Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16:25–26). Perseverance can look like singing while chained. In other words, what am I doing in the dark that proves I trust God for the light? 2. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t the blessing—you becoming more like Christ is. People expect the result to be the miracle, but the real miracle is who we become through the waiting. (2 Corinthians 4:17)3. The silence of God doesn’t mean the absence of God. Job is a great example of this. He endured with no answers, yet God was watching and eventually responded. (Isaiah 50:10) 4. Faith doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it just stands still and stays. Perseverance cannot give in to fear when nothing is changing outwardly. (Exodus 14:13) 5. One of the tests of perseverance is obedience when there’s no applause. The story of Noah building the ark for 120 years without rain is a good example. 6. Joseph’s Story is all about perseverance. Betrayed, enslaved, falsely accused, imprisoned—for 13 years—yet never wavered. Joseph didn’t let prison define him—he let purpose refine him. 7. Hebrews 11: the Hall of Faith. You guys briefly mentioned it, y’all could go deeper. Some of the heroes didn’t even see the promise fulfilled but persevered in faith (v. 13, 39). Some of their praise in Hebrews 11 seems much different than the story of their lives. It shows that God chooses to remember our faithfulness not our failures or lack of faith. Sometimes faith is measured not by what you obtain, but what you endure. 8. Some things about perseverance: Perseverance is like spiritual muscle. You don’t grow it by comfort—you grow it under resistance. Waiting is not wasted when it's worship-filled. Faith is not just belief in spite of evidence—sometimes it's belief without any evidence. 9. The Fruit of Perseverance: James 5:10–11 talks about the perseverance of the prophets and Job. Compassion and maturity are fruits that often grow in perseverance.

Welcome back to your favorite podcast!
Today, we're diving into a topic that's both profound and profoundly personal: our identity in Christ.
In a world which is constantly telling us who we are, who we should be, and what we're worth, it's easy to get caught up in the noise. We may find ourselves allowing our identity to be defined by our past mistakes, our current circumstances, or our possessions. We may seek validation from others, or even listen to the lies of the enemy, who seeks to steal our true identity and replace it with a false narrative.
This classic case of mistaken identity is all too common. We've been looking in all the wrong places for our true identity, which can only be found in the unchanging, unwavering truth of God's Word. As Christians, we know that we're more than just our struggles, our strengths, or our successes. We're more than just our earthly identities. We're children of the Most High God, adopted into His family, and given a new name, a new purpose, and a new destiny.
But accepting this inheritance and living out this destiny requires us to believe what God says about us, even when the world, our past, or our own doubts scream otherwise. It requires us to anchor our sense of self in the unshakeable truth of Scripture, and to let that truth transform us from the inside out.
In this episode, we'll explore what it means to find our identity in Christ, and why it's the key to fulfilling our destinies. We'll delve into the lies that seek to steal our true identity, and the truths that set us free. Join us as we discover the power of living in our true identity in Christ.
Welcome back to Frontal Lobe, your favorite podcast! :-)
This month, we explore the intersection of faith and culture. In this episode, we'll be tackling a critical topic, which is both timely and timeless: the temptation to idolize political leaders and the importance of prioritizing our discipleship to Jesus Christ. In an era marked by deepening political divisions and increasingly fervent loyalty to party and leader, it's easy to get swept up in the fervor. We may find ourselves thinking, 'If only this person were in charge, everything would be okay.' But as Christians, we know that's a false promise. Our ultimate hope and salvation come from Jesus alone. When we elevate political leaders to a position of saviorhood, we risk creating a cult of personality. We begin to see them as the solution to our problems, rather than recognizing that true transformation comes from our relationship with Jesus. This can lead to a dangerous blurring of lines between faith and politics, where our loyalty to a leader or party trumps our loyalty to Christ. But what happens when that leader fails us? When their humanity is revealed, and they can't deliver on their promises? Where does that leave us? As Christians, we know that our ultimate allegiance belongs to Jesus, not to any earthly leader or ideology. Join us as we explore the dangers of political idolatry and the importance of keeping Jesus at the center of our lives. We'll discuss how to maintain a healthy perspective on politics while avoiding the temptation to elevate leaders to an unhealthy position in our hearts, one that they were never meant to occupy.
Enjoy today's show, as we delve into this critical conversation and discover the freedom that comes from prioritizing our discipleship to Jesus above all else.

Life's trials and tribulations are not mere obstacles to be overcome, but a sacred fire that refines and transforms us.
As we walk through the crucible of adversity, we emerge stronger, wiser, and more compassionate, our spirits tempered like steel in the flames. Through the alchemy of struggle, we discover our true strength, our greatest potential, and even our destiny.
Today, we embark on a journey to explore the transformative power of adversity, and how it can shape us into beacons of hope, empathy, and resilience, illuminating a path to spiritual growth and a life of purpose and meaning.

If you Google "how has science helped humanity", you'll get a huge list of examples. Think about how convenient our lives are, how easy it is to hop in the car and talk hands-free to someone, while you're driving over, getting your email notifications along the way.
Buy your movie tickets online and scan the QR code at the door for a smooth transition to the snack line. Or just pull up your favorite movie app on your phone and cast it to your TV, so your whole family can enjoy it, assuming it's not already streaming on your go-to streaming app.
GPS, the internet, digital banking, the moon landing, our understanding of the universe itself, and much, much more... The examples are truly endless!
But when it comes to faith & walking with Christ, does science help..., or can it actually hinder...? See, I don't think science can answer the most existential questions in life, like "why do I exist?" "What is my purpose?" "What is my value?"
Some allow science to be somewhat of a religion to them. And that's dangerous! I mean..., if there isn't enough quantifiable scientific data to specify the parameters around moral values, then do I really need them?
If the hypotheses that my wife loves me as much as I love her isn't backed up by the scientific data, then maybe she doesn't. And the most dangerous frame of mind...
If the theory that there is an omnipotent God, who loves me unconditionally, isn't able to be quantified and measured by the instruments of man, then perhaps there is no God, and perhaps I'm not loved.
Perhaps I should allow my feelings to guide me, allow how I feel in the moment to define my identity, and assume my inherent value, based on the data at hand...
Despite the many advantages it has provided mankind, science has some obvious limitations. In this episode, we discuss THE DATA which proves it! Let's get into it!

In this episode of Frontal Lobe Podcast, we delve into the question of how faith grows and what we can do to nurture and strengthen our faith muscles. Just as physical muscles need exercise to grow stronger, our faith requires intentional actions to deepen and grow.
By obeying God's commands, spending time in prayer, and allowing God to use us to help others, we can actively exercise our faith and watch it flourish.
Join us as we explore practical ways to strengthen our faith and experience the transformative power of God in our lives. Tune in to discover how you can actively participate in the growth of your faith and experience a deeper relationship with God.

What is it about a new year that inspires us to betterment? What is it about January 1st that motivates us to attempt a newfound commitment to a better life?
Whether it’s a healthier lifestyle, being a better steward of our money, quitting bad habits or beginning good ones, there’s something about a new year that seems to offer hope for another chance to do it right, a blank canvas, a clean slate.
Many of us feel called to new beginnings at the threshold of each new year. And as we embark on this journey, we are inevitably faced with challenges which all too often have the power to derail the scope of our new plans and send us hurdling back into the rutted path from which we came.
If we hope to stay on the new trajectory of a better future, it will take more than a moment of inspiration, more than a passing comment about commitment. It will take diligent self-discipline.
And..., can being a disciplined disciple be light-hearted and fun? Stick around and find out! Enjoy the show!
