Enounter Henley Welcomes Pastor: Tex Horner
In this episode, Pastor Tex Horner explores the weight of public declarations and the freedom found in intentional servitude. Drawing from his own milestones—his wedding day and his ocean baptism—Tex discusses why making a "big choice" actually protects us from the exhaustion of having too many options.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- The "Too Much of a Good Thing" Effect: Why absolute autonomy and endless choices often lead to stress, emotional exhaustion, and poor decision-making.
- The Power of Prisms: How choosing a specific path (like marriage to one person or discipleship under Jesus) creates a framework that makes future decisions clearer and simpler.
- Joshua’s Line in the Sand: A deep dive into Joshua 24, where an aging leader challenges a nation to "choose today whom you will serve."
- The Idol Audit: A candid look at what we worship today—money, fame, comfort, or even our partners—and why none of them are designed to sustain us like God can."We are all going to serve someone. If we don’t choose who we serve, we will end up serving something regardless. Isn't it better to have a say?" — Tex Horner
How to Make "Green Light" Choices
Tex wraps up the message with three practical "Text-isms" to help you align your daily actions with your heart's intentions:
- Pray About It: Seek God’s vision before your own logic.
- Establish Non-Negotiables: Identify the things you are simply not willing to compromise on to protect your vision.
- Identify Your Idols: Be honest about what you are putting ahead of your relationship with God.
