episode DDD: Casting Off Darkness, Putting On Light cover

Beskrivelse

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  What if the biggest battle you’re fighting isn’t out there in politics, but in here—in your own heart? Romans says it’s time to wake up, tear off the deeds of darkness, and put on the armor of light. This devotional will confront the lies our culture tells about sin, government, and “grace,” and call you back to the truth that’s in Jesus alone. If you’re tired of compromise and ready to walk in the light—even in the public square—this is for you.  In this episode, Pastor Brian Noble connects Romans 13 and Ephesians 4, calling believers to “lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.” He challenges Christians, including those in politics, to reject dishonesty, sexual sin, envy, laziness, and entitlement, and instead walk in integrity, hard work, truth, and holiness. The message confronts “woke” distortions of Jesus and insists that real grace is always centered on truth and repentance, not coddling sin. Finally, he urges listeners to renew their minds in God’s Word, stop giving the devil opportunities, and boldly defend biblical values in the public square.  We are transforming our hearts so we can shape the public square.

DDD: Hope That Overflows, Not Just Survives

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  When everything in the public square feels stacked against you—courts, laws, politics—have you forgotten where your real hope comes from? In this devotional, Pastor Brian Noble reminds us that our hope is not in a vote, a party, or a system, but in Jesus Christ alone, the God of hope who fills us with joy and peace by the power of the Holy Spirit. If someone watched your week, would they see a cynical Christian—or a believer overflowing with living hope in Christ? Lean in and let your hope be rebuilt today.  This devotional from Pastor Brian Noble explores Romans 15, 1 Peter 1, and Colossians 1 calls believers in Washington and beyond to anchor their hope not in politics or courts, but in Jesus Christ, the “God of hope.” Pastor Brian Noble explains that through the Holy Spirit we are born again to a “living hope,” protected by God’s power even when laws and culture seem hostile. He urges listeners to examine whether their daily words, choices, and plans overflow with hope, and to remember that Christ in us is “the hope of glory,” not any elected official. The episode ends with a prayer for renewed, Spirit-empowered hope and a charge to defend and advance biblical values in the public square..  Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/ [https://fpiw.bndlr.co/]  TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it - DOWNLOAD The “WASHINGTON DEFENDER APP” today https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/ [https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/]

DDD: Strength to Endure: Why You Can’t Skip the Old Testament

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  If you’re running out of hope, it might be because you’ve stopped listening to the part of the Bible that was written to train your endurance. The Old Testament isn’t optional inspiration; it’s God’s record of 4,000 years of faithfulness to weak, imperfect people just like us. In this devotional, we’ll look at Romans 15, Hebrews 12, and 2 Timothy 3 to show how all Scripture fuels your perseverance, exposes the sin that entangles you, and fixes your eyes back on Jesus.

Drawing from Romans 15, Hebrews 12, and 2 Timothy 3, Pastor Brian Noble shows how all Scripture—especially the Old Testament—reveals God’s faithfulness across generations, exposes our entangling sins, and equips us for every good work. He urges listeners to build a daily rhythm in the Word, learn from figures like Joseph, Moses, David, and Solomon, and let their stories strengthen perseverance in today’s cultural pressures. The episode closes with prayer for personal renewal, for Washington’s leaders, and a call to defend and advance biblical values in the public square.  Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/ [https://fpiw.bndlr.co/]  TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it - DOWNLOAD The “WASHINGTON DEFENDER APP” today https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/ [https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/]

episode DDD: Loving Israel: When Hatred Becomes Heritage cover

DDD: Loving Israel: When Hatred Becomes Heritage

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  “Right now, the world is getting casual about attacking Israel—but God never is. In Ezekiel 35, He shows exactly how He responds when hatred toward His people becomes a way of life. This isn’t just ancient history; it’s a warning for our culture and a call to repent, bless Israel, and return to the God who owns the land and loves His covenant people. Stay with me, because how you treat Israel really does matter to God.?  This devotional from Pastor Brian Noble walks through Ezekiel 35, where God judges Edom’s long–standing hatred of Israel to defend His holy name and His covenant people. It explains that the land ultimately belongs to God, and that those who gloat over Israel’s suffering or try to seize what is His face His decisive response. Drawing on passages like Leviticus 25, Joel 2, Psalm 122, and Romans 11, it calls listeners to repent of any contempt toward Israel, to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and to recognize that God’s gifts and calling for Israel are irrevocable. The episode closes in prayer, asking God to be glorified amid modern conflicts and urging believers to defend and advance biblical values in the public square.  Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/ [https://fpiw.bndlr.co/]  TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it - DOWNLOAD The “WASHINGTON DEFENDER APP” today https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/ [https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/]
