Let's face it, we've all fell down the rabbit hole of an end time conspiracy at some point in our lives by now. Or maybe instead of a conspiracy, we sat through the a false teacher or prophet preaching a whole lotta of anti-biblical nonsense. Realistically, we will never be able to escape with the frenzy of conspiracies, false prophecies and heresies that drop every week on the internet. Nevertheless, it's important that we not be deceived, and the Word of God is here to guide us through all the lies and deception.   Read: Ephesians 4:11–15 (NKJV)   Resources for Reading the Bible https://www.gotquestions.org/ - Great for Bible questions https://www.blueletterbible.org/ - Get original Hebrew & Greek definitions to words used in english translations. https://www.bibleref.com/ - Get explanations on tough Bible verses https://courses.dts.edu/ - Free Bible courses from my seminary school    

Most conversations surrounding the gospel talk about the physical pain, suffering and death that Christ experienced on our behalf. Today I want to talk about something else Jesus endured for our sakes, and that's humiliation. Some people think God is egotistical, but when we really take time to consider what it meant for the Creator to humble Himself and suffer at the hands of His own creation, the "egotistical" label simply doesn't stick. Let's unpack.   Read: Philippians 2:1–8; Hebrews 12:1–3; 2 Peter 3:9   Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to UN-ASSOCIATED at https://www.un-associated.com/donate/   Sign up for UN-ASSOCIATED's virtual, Bible Studies every first Monday of each month! https://forms.gle/ra53byPArBpmYn6L8

Today I invite 3 women from the UN-ASSOCIATED team on to talk about what it means to be women who are "set apart" in today's society. Danielle Clayton (Editor-in-Chief), Dena Williams (Live Events Director) and Maddy Owusu (Social Engagement Director) open up about their adolescent years as Believers, their ideas on purpose, marriage, and desirability politics.   You are invited to RSVP for Girl Chat, a panel and discussion event for women of our community happening tonight at 5:30pm: https://forms.gle/ZwvpchNhvcTG6yVn7  

The conversation around our individual purposes can be an exciting one or anxious one depending on who you ask. I've noticed a large amount of anxiety our generation has when it comes to this. We are in a point in our lives where we want to know our purpose, but it seems like God doesn't want to give us a clear answer to what that is. How do we continue to navigate our day-to-day, uneventful, unfulfilling lives until He answers us?   Read: 1 Samuel 16–17; Matthew 6:33–34; Psalm 118:24   Girl Chat: Panel & Discussion Sign up!: https://forms.gle/ADUfbgyyZWH3xuxt8   Give me your feedback: https://forms.gle/B7oRX192g9b9achD7   Consider making a tax-deductible donation to UA!: https://www.un-associated.com/donate/    

What are the 7 ways you can know you're depending on the Lord? Here are 4–7. (4) you work with and trust others in a team rather than trying to do everything yourself (5) You can take a day off working (6) You rely on God when you're tank is empty (7) You chase God instead of worldly things.   Give me your feedback: https://forms.gle/B7oRX192g9b9achD7  

Dependency on the Lord is an essential part of our relationship with Him. Despite this, many of us are still hell-bent on doing everything ourselves. We typically refer to this act as "trusting in the flesh". God is not a fan of this. In fact, He's cursed the Israelites for doing this in Jeremiah 17. Not only is trusting in the flesh offensive to God, it can also lead to a life of anxiety, stress, fatigue and rocky relationships. In this episode, we do some self evaluation in order to gauge where we can improve in our dependency.   Read: Jeremiah 17:5–8; Matthew 10:26–31; Proverbs 3:5–6; Philippians 4:6–7   Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to UN-ASSOCIATED at https://www.un-associated.com/donate/ Sign up for UN-ASSOCIATED's virtual, Bible Studies every first Monday of each month! https://forms.gle/ra53byPArBpmYn6L8

Are you too busy for God? On the 200th episode of Churchboy Confessions – and after a long time away – I want us to reflect on the ways we've put our relationship with the Lord on the backburner. (We're wasting zero time). By defining what it means to be a man/woman after God's heart, my hope is that you understand your relationship with the Lord is more important than any responsibility you have in life.   Read: 1 Sam 13:14; 1 Sam 14:30; Psalm 51:10–11   Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to UN-ASSOCIATED at https://www.un-associated.com/donate/ Sign up for UN-ASSOCIATED's virtual, Bible Studies every first Monday of each month! https://forms.gle/ra53byPArBpmYn6L8  

We all have goals we are after. However at the same time, many of us carry the intention of not going before God and always being intentional about being in His will. Today I'll answer a couple Ask Churchboy submissions to discuss goal-setting and enduring the valley seasons of life. This is the last episode of the season and year of CC. Thank you all for a great 2023.

As men we are told we need to be strong and independent. However, that does not mean we should be independent from the Lord. To be a man is to be DEPENDENT on the Lord. How can we, as men, acknowledge and embrace our need for God in a society that teaches us to hide our weaknesses?   Read: 2 Corinthians 12:1–10   Audition to perform at our next Poetry Jam!: https://forms.gle/gDvNMWoh7Qi7xQk49   If you feel led, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to UN-ASSOCIATED HERE.
