So, here in the Good Steward Podcast, I want to share insight into how the Lord God prepares and positions men for marriage. In Genesis 2, God provides a model for preparing and positioning men for marriage. First, God presents Himself as "Lord God." implying an established relationship between man and Him (Genesis 2:4). He then recognizes man's need for a companion (verse 18). Then, He presents him with the opportunity to name the animals, allowing him to explore his identity and purpose (verses 19-20). Finally, God creates a...2024-01-1114 minThe Good Steward PodcastPress on #2024 In Philippians 3, Paul the Apostle addresses the Judaziers’ false teachings. Instead of fighting against the Judaziers, he focuses on knowing Christ in the midst of being in chains. Paul is willing to put his credentials and accomplishments aside and strive towards the “goal” of winning the prize for which God has called him. Press On is my word for #2024. I have nothing to prove or to “flex.” We may fall into the trap of that mindset as we step into the new year. However, I am willing to forget the former things behind me, be like Christ, and move on to a li...2024-01-0414 minThe Good Steward PodcastGod Turned a No into a Yes: The Job Search | Experiencing Unexpected Break-Up | My TestimonyOver the last couple of months, I experienced a lot of changes.

The disciples completely missed who Jesus indeed was and overlooked His divinity.

It seems that proclaiming you are a Christian has a negative connotation. People automatically think you are judgmental, harsh, crazy, unreasonable, etc. We live in a pluralistic world where other religions and world views are tolerated. But when you include Christianity in the room where we address current issues and hot topics, they view us as a repellant spray. And there is where the tension lies.
