Episode Details

Have you ever felt like a "train wreck" or a "dumpster fire"? Have you ever assumed that because of what you did this week—or how long you’ve been away—that God has finally moved on from you?

In this special devotional message, we take a "breather" between series to look at one of the most beautiful promises in all of Scripture: Deuteronomy 4:29. Whether you are struggling with addiction, cynicism, or just a numb heart, there are four words from God that can shatter every lie of the enemy: "But if from there..."

Join us as we explore why our hearts are so prone to believing lies over the truth, and how to find our way back to the Father no matter how far we’ve run.

In This Episode:

• The Enemy Within: Why we often feel like our own worst enemy and how to discern the Father’s voice above the noise.

• The Lies of the Forked Tongue: Why humans can hear 10,000 truths but be shattered by a single lie.

• Ecclesiastes vs. John: Choosing between a life of cynical "vanity" and the "abundant life" promised by Jesus.

• The Lifeline: A deep dive into the grace found in the words "But if from there..."
