“Train Up a Child” | Parenting Beyond Teaching

What does it truly mean to “train up a child” according to Scripture? In this episode of Truth, Measured, we explore the spiritual responsibility of parenting beyond behavior management, academics, or achievement. Proverbs 22:6 does not simply call parents to teach children information, it calls us to consecrate, dedicate, and intentionally prepare them for the purpose God created them for. We also examine biblical examples including: 📖 Hannah dedicating Samuel back to God (1 Samuel 1) 📖 Jesus in the temple, learning and submitting Himself to process and training (Luke 2:41-52) 📖 God knowing and ordaining purpose before birth (Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:16) This episode is a reminder that our children were not sent here randomly. They were sent with purpose. As parents, our assignment is not to manufacture identity, but to cultivate the purpose God already placed within them. Because parenting is not just raising children. It is intentionally developing the person God created them to become.

How to Read the Bible | Study, Devotion, and Worship

Are you reading the Bible, or truly understanding it? In this episode, we break down how to read the Bible with intention and clarity, whether you’re: •⁠  ⁠Studying a specific topic •⁠  ⁠Spending quiet devotional time with God •⁠  ⁠Reading during moments of worship I also dive into why knowing Scripture matters, not just for personal growth, but so you can defend your faith, discern truth, and not be misled by cultural narratives that sound good but aren’t rooted in God’s Word. The Bible is more than a book, it’s your foundation. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, inconsistent, or unsure where to start, this episode will give you practical ways to approach Scripture with confidence and purpose. ✨ Truth isn’t what culture says, it’s what God has already spoken.

Are You a Judas? | How Corruption Happens in the Heart

In this episode, we break down a hard truth:  👉 Being close to Jesus doesn’t mean your heart is surrendered to Him. Judas walked with Jesus, saw the miracles, heard the teachings, and still betrayed Him. Why? Because corruption doesn’t happen overnight, it happens subtly, through compromise, hidden sin, and a heart that never fully surrenders. This message challenges you to examine your own heart: *  Are you following Jesus for who He is, or for what you can gain?  *  Are you producing fruit, or just maintaining appearances?  *  Have you mistaken proximity for relationship?  Jesus makes it clear, not everyone who appears to be “in” truly is.

Godly Sisterhood

What kind of sisters are around you, and more importantly, what kind of sister are you becoming? In this episode, we explore powerful biblical examples of sisterhood that go beyond friendship, the kind that strengthens your faith, anchors you in truth, and walks with you through every season. From Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, to Mary choosing the presence of Jesus over performance, to Elizabeth celebrating Mary without jealousy, God shows us what real sisterhood looks like.

Spirituality vs. Religion: Are You Really Connected to God?

Is “spirituality” enough, or is there something deeper that God is actually calling us into? In this episode, we unpack the difference between spirituality and true relationship with God, and why accepting Jesus is not optional if you desire real connection with the Father. So many claim to be “spiritual,” but Scripture makes it clear, not every path leads to God. ✨ “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven…” (Matthew 7:21–23) ✨ “You cannot come to the Father except through Me.” ✨ True religion is not performance, it’s purity of heart (James 1:27) God has always been relational. From the very beginning, He walked with Adam in the cool of the day, not out of obligation, but out of intimacy. That same invitation still stands today. This episode challenges you to examine: • Are you pursuing God, or just a version of Him you’ve created? • Do you know Jesus, or just know about Him? • Are you offering God all of you, or holding pieces back? 🎧 This is a call back to truth. 🎧 A call back to relationship. 🎧 A call to give God your ALL, because He already gave His. 💭 “All of me for all of You.” Scriptures referenced: Exodus 20:1-3 - “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. · “You shall have no other gods before me. Matthew 7:21–23 - “Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven James 1:27 - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Genesis 3:8 - God walked with Adam in the garden
