Live Out the Truth

It’s not enough to hear the truth—we have to live it out. In this episode of Way to Go Podcast, we dive into James 1:19-27 and explore what it means to be doers of the Word, not just hearers.

💡 Key Takeaways:
➡️ Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger – Anger doesn’t produce righteousness (vv. 19-21).
➡️ Don’t just hear the Word—do it! – Looking in the mirror but forgetting what you saw is like ignoring God’s truth (vv. 22-25).
➡️ True religion is more than words – Keep your tongue in check, care for those in need, and stay unpolluted by the world (vv. 26-27).

What does it look like to live out your faith in everyday life?

Get Out Fast & Learn from the Ant

Co-signing a loan can be an added burden with an uncertain outcome, but Proverbs 6 warns us about more than just finances! This week on Way to Go Podcast, we’re joined by Pastor Steve Sargent from Hiawatha Church of God in Christ to unpack the wisdom of Proverbs 6—from avoiding financial traps to learning from the ant. 🐜

One of Steve’s favorite verses challenges us: "Look at the ant, you sluggard!" The ant works hard, prepares, and moves with purpose. What can we learn from it? Proverbs is full of wisdom we need today!

Top Tips on How to Stop Porn Addiction

In this episode of the Way to Go Podcast, we focus on practical and effective strategies for overcoming porn addiction. Here are the top tips discussed:

1. Accountability: Bring the issue into the open to prevent it from festering. Use an accountability app on your phone that blurs questionable images and sends them, along with any searched verbiage, to your accountability partner.

2. Awareness and Prevention: Be proactive in preventing adult content from entering your home. Stay educated on measures and tools that can help block inappropriate material.

3. Honesty with Your Spouse: Keep an open line of communication with your spouse as another form of accountability. You don’t have to share every detail, but honesty can help you stay on the right path.

4. Counseling and Therapy: Understand yourself better through professional counseling or therapy. This can provide insights into your triggers and help you develop coping mechanisms.

5. No More Secrets: Have trusted people you can talk to for support and forgiveness. Sharing your struggles can prevent relapse and help you stay accountable.

Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV): "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
