What happens when we prioritize God's voice over the world's advice?
In today’s episode of PREPPED, join James Spencer, PhD, as he invites us to challenge the cultural mantra of “follow your heart” by examining what it means to align our choices with God’s will. Through the lens of the Tower of Babel narrative and the lives of key biblical figures such as David and Noah, we explore how true success comes not from ambition or fear, but from obedience and trust in the Lord.
Drawing from the Westminster Shorter Catechism, we’ll reflect on the calling to glorify God and enjoy Him forever—not just as theology, but as a practical foundation for everyday living. By unpacking the metaphor of faith as resistance, we see discipleship likened to a dam holding firm under pressure. Learn how stepping back from cultural distractions through strategies like “Go Dark, Shine Bright” can help cultivate clarity, obedience, and intentionality in your spiritual journey.
