The Lie of “It’s Just a Fantasy” , Ep. 54
It’s just a thought. Nobody’s getting hurt. It’s the lie the enemy has been whispering to Christians forever, and in the age of the smartphone, he’s turned the whisper into a broadcast. But what if the fantasy life isn’t the safe outlet you’ve been told it is? What if it’s actually the training ground for the life you’d never say you wanted?

David Marvin: God Is Still Good, Ep. 53

Your Desire Isn’t the Problem. Its Aim Is. Ep. 49

If God Is a Vending Machine, So Is Everyone Else, Ep. 48
Most of us are praying to a god we have never actually examined. Put in good behavior, expect good outcomes. Stay clean, expect the blessing. Mess up, and brace for the bill.

A transactional view of God does not stay in your p
