Episode Details

In an age obsessed with pleasing people, Jesus reminds us that even He and John the Baptist could not satisfy the demands of men and neither will we, unless we compromise the message itself. Some say we should win an audience by boosting self-esteem, but Scripture teaches that true hearing comes only through the Word of God and the Spirit of God. This episode explores why ministers who aim to please men end up disagreeing with God’s own judgment on sin, and how faithfulness demands we seek to please the Father alone. When we do, our words carry His power, strengthen the godly, confront the ungodly, and reveal that God’s ways are always wiser than man’s.
