Welcome back to Spirit of Truth Podcast! In this episode, we’re celebrating a powerful moment in America—the recent election that revealed a collective stand against far-left ideologies, as voters made their voices heard. As we look at this shift, we see that a majority of Americans are standing firm in their moral convictions, rejecting unbiblical agendas that aim to undermine life, family, and godly values.

This isn’t just a time for celebration, though. It’s a pivotal moment for us as Christians to rise, make our faith known, and inspire change. We have a unique window of opportunity to spread the gospel, promote righteousness, and influence our communities toward truth and justice. But time is short, and the battle for hearts and minds continues.

In today’s episode, we talk about what it means to be ‘salt and light’ in this generation and outline practical steps we can each take to impact our families, workplaces, and communities for God’s kingdom. Join us as we dive into a powerful call to action, encouraging every believer to make these next few years count and stand boldly for truth.

Tune in, be inspired, and discover how you can be part of a lasting legacy of faith and righteousness in America! 🇺🇸

In this episode of Spirit of Truth, we’re journeying through the Torah portion Lech Lecha (Genesis 12-17), where God calls Abram to leave everything familiar and “go forth.” As Abram steps out in faith, his obedience and trust in God set the foundation for what would become a transformative relationship with the Creator—one that shapes the very course of biblical history.

We explore Abram’s journey and the challenges of stepping into the unknown with only a promise to hold onto, considering how his willingness to obey, his humility, and his sacrifices reflected a deep trust in God. We also look at the contrasts between Abram’s faithfulness and the prideful actions of those who built the Tower of Babel, diving into the lessons we can apply to our own lives today.

With three powerful themes of obedience, faith, and identity, this episode asks where God may be calling each of us to “go forth” and walk in purpose, even when we don’t see the full picture. Join us as we uncover rich insights about God’s character and Abram’s journey, drawing inspiration to live out our faith with courage and trust.
