Episode 133 — Saving Society, Pearls Before Swine, Fallen Preachers
Mel, Joel, and Michael discuss being salt and light, and how many righteous people it takes to spare a society from God’s wrath. They talk about why things may not be as bad as they feel, and why change starts in the home. Then they ask whether the swine in Matthew 7 are lost people or entrenched religious people who think they know the answers. From there they talk about trusting God with the things we can actually control. They say knowing God well means we don’t have to pray about every decision. They close on fallen preachers — whether true teaching from an unclean vessel still honors God, why gifting is not the same as character, and what real repentance looks like.
