Description

Welcome back to FTOL, where holy snark meets serious faith. In today’s episode, we’re tackling a knockoff gospel that’s been making the rounds on Instagram reels, self-help books, and even some pulpits — the so-called Gospel of Me.

It sounds good. It feels good. It tells you you’re enough, you’re awesome, and you deserve all the blessings you can manifest. But here’s the truth: a counterfeit gospel only gives you a counterfeit Jesus. And knockoff Jesuses don’t save — they just flatter, distract, and leave you exposed when the real battle begins.

That’s why today, we’re strapping on the very first piece of God’s armor — the Belt of Truth. Because if the truth isn’t fastened, everything else falls apart.

So grab your gear, ditch the pajama pants theology, and let’s dig in.

Lyrics:

Armor Anthem: Belt of Truth

[Verse 1]Fasten it tight, let the lies fall away,Truth is the anchor that helps me stay.No pajama pants in this battle zone,God’s Word holds me, I’m not alone.

[Chorus]I’m standing strong, belt strapped tight,Truth is my weapon, my guiding light.No “my truth” here, just Christ alone,The Belt of Truth makes His power known.

[Verse 2]Culture screams, “Just do what you feel,”But the Word of God is the real deal.Counterfeit gospels crash and fade,But His truth forever will not be swayed.

[Chorus]I’m standing strong, belt strapped tight,Truth is my weapon, my guiding light.No “my truth” here, just Christ alone,The Belt of Truth makes His power known.

[Bridge]Anchor my armor, fasten my soul,Truth is the standard, making me whole.From lies and deception, I will break free,The Belt of Truth is my victory.

[Chorus – repeat]I’m standing strong, belt strapped tight,Truth is my weapon, my guiding light.No “my truth” here, just Christ alone,The Belt of Truth makes His power known.

[Outro]The Belt of Truth makes His power known.
