EPISODE 1: THE CALL With Cody D. Thrash & Pastor Brad Forsythe

VL05 - 17 - SCRIPTURAL DRESS

In this episode of Victorious Living, Cody D. Thrash teaches on the biblical foundation of holiness in dress and appearance. Holiness is not a cultural tradition or personal preference. It is a Scriptural command that begins in the heart and is expressed outwardly in conduct, attitude, and attire. This lesson walks through Paul’s instruction in 1 Timothy 2, showing that men are first called to holiness in worship, purity, and spiritual leadership, while women are instructed in modest apparel, shamefacedness, and sobriety. Yet the standard is not divided. Men must also be modest in appearance, and women must also be modest in conduct. God is after complete holiness in both flesh and spirit. You will also hear biblical teaching on modesty, gender distinction, costly array, and the difference between principles and issues. This episode explains why holiness in attire is not about being frumpy, extreme, or man-made, but about reflecting dignity, order, purity, and godly identity in a confused world. If you have ever wondered why dress matters in the life of a believer, this lesson offers a clear, Apostolic, Scripture-centered answer: we are not hiding something shameful, we are guarding something sacred.

VL05 - 14 - YOUR FINANCES

Money is more than numbers, budgets, or bills. It reveals the posture of the heart and the depth of our trust in God. In this powerful teaching from the Victorious Living series, we dive into the biblical foundation of finances through a Kingdom lens, exploring how stewardship, giving, and integrity shape our walk with Christ. In this episode, we examine the timeless principles of tithing, offerings, and wise stewardship, tracing them from Abraham’s voluntary tithe to New Testament instruction on cheerful giving and faithful management. Scripture shows that finances are not separate from faith. They are a place where obedience meets trust, and where eternal investment begins. We discuss why tithing existed before the Law, how Jesus affirmed the right heart behind giving, and why Malachi calls believers into a season of “proving God.” You will also hear practical biblical wisdom about avoiding debt traps, guarding your reputation, working diligently, and resisting the love of money. Whether your finances feel stable or strained, this lesson reminds us that God cares deeply about how we handle what He has entrusted to us. This episode will encourage you to: • See giving as worship, not obligation • Understand the difference between tithes and offerings • Learn how stewardship reflects spiritual maturity • Invest in eternal treasure rather than temporary gain • Trust God to supply every need according to His riches in glory If you have ever wrestled with faith and finances, this conversation will challenge you, strengthen you, and point you back to God’s promises. 📖 Key Scriptures: Genesis 14, Malachi 3, Matthew 6, 2 Corinthians 9, Philippians 4, Proverbs 22, 1 Timothy 6 The Disciple Life exists to equip believers to live victorious, disciplined, Spirit-led lives. Share this episode with someone who wants to align their finances with biblical truth.
