Descripción

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today Today we’re diving into one of the most sobering chapters in Ezekiel, where God drags proud empires down to the pit to prove one thing: then they will know that I am the Lord. As we watch nations rise and fall in our own headlines—Israel, Iran, Lebanon—are we listening to what God is saying right now? Hell is real, pride is deadly, and God is urgently calling us to repent, surrender our pride, and return to Him. Stay with me as we walk through Ezekiel 32 and ask if our own nation is next in line.   In this episode, Pastor Brian Noble walks through Ezekiel 32, where God pronounces judgment on Egypt and other proud nations, dragging them down like a sea monster into the depths of Sheol. He shows how their power, beauty, and terror in the “land of the living” could not save them from conscious, eternal judgment. Applying this to our moment, he points to today’s turmoil in places like Israel, Iran, and Lebanon as reminders that God still rules the nations and opposes arrogance. The episode ends with a sober call to repent, confess our sin, surrender all national and personal pride to Jesus, and live for God’s presence rather than just avoiding hell.   We are transforming our hearts so we can shape the public square.

episode DDD: Nothing Unclean: Walking in Love and Conscience artwork

DDD: Nothing Unclean: Walking in Love and Conscience

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess—but are you living like you’ll actually give an account to God for every word, every post, every choice? In this short devotional, we unpack Romans 14 and ask a hard question: are you confusing God’s absolutes with your personal preferences… and are you hurting your brother in the name of ‘freedom’? Discover how to hold firm to biblical truth, honor your conscience, and still walk in sacrificial love in the public square. Stay with me, because this could reshape how you live your faith online, at church, and in government.  This devotional from Pastor Brian Noble explores Romans 14, emphasizing that some issues are God-given absolutes while others are “principles of conscience” where believers must follow the Spirit’s conviction without elevating preferences to the level of salvation. He warns that every believer will give an account to God, including for careless words and social media posts, so boldness in truth must always be joined with love that refuses to put a stumbling block in a brother’s way. Practical examples range from food, worship days, and entertainment choices to public policy debates, drawing a sharp line between unchanging biblical commands (like the sanctity of life and sexual purity) and disputable matters where consciences may differ. The message closes by calling Christians, pastors, and elected officials to pursue holiness, pray for leaders (including President Trump and Governor Bob Ferguson), and “defend in advance” biblical values in Washington’s 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: No Stumbling, Only Light

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  Are you protecting your brothers and sisters in Christ—or casually tripping them up without even knowing it? Today we’re drawing a clear line between God’s absolutes and matters of conscience, and why love moves us from criticizing to actually safeguarding each other’s souls. If you’ve ever wondered where ‘fun’ ends and ‘stumbling block’ begins, this short devotional will challenge the way you speak, joke, and live in the public square. Stay with me, because children of light can be joyful and bold without ever compromising God’s holiness.  This devotional from Pastor Brian Noble explores Romans 14 and Ephesians 5, calling believers to distinguish between God’s non‑negotiable absolutes and personal principles of conscience. He warns against misusing “stumbling block” language to ban every harmless activity, while still insisting that coarse joking, filthiness, and immoral talk have no place among God’s people. Listeners are urged to move from being critics to caretakers—removing known stumbling blocks out of love, walking as children of light, and exposing unfruitful works of darkness in the public square. The episode ends in prayer, asking God to help believers be joyful, fun, and bold while remaining pure, holy, and God‑honoring in their words and actions.  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: Every Knee Will Bow: Judged by a God Who Sees Everything

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  One day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess before the judgment seat of God. On that day, it won’t be about how clearly you saw other people’s sins, but how honestly you walked before the Lord yourself. In this devotional, we confront the hard truth: some things are gray, but God’s absolutes are not—and they determine our eternity. Stay with me as we move from judgment of others to self-reflection, and from self-reflection to a fierce, biblical love for our neighbor.  This devotional from Pastor Brian Noble unpacks Romans 14 and 2 Corinthians 5, reminding us that every person will stand before the judgment seat of Christ and give an account. Pastor Brian draws a sharp line between God’s clear moral absolutes and the genuine gray areas of Christian conscience, urging believers to warn in love where Scripture is explicit. He applies this to sexual sin, emotional sin, and issues of integrity, calling listeners to examine their own hearts before pointing out others’ failures. The devotional ends in prayer for pastors, elected officials, and all believers to walk in integrity, humility, and a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.  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: Lord Over All: Jesus in Every Corner of Your Life

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  What if Jesus was not just Lord of your Sunday, but Lord of your inbox, your job site, your commute, and your county council? In this Washington Defender devotional, Pastor Brian Noble walks through Romans and Philippians to show that Christ’s death and resurrection claim every square inch of our ordinary lives—from our work and politics to how we build roads and run businesses. You’ll be challenged to surrender every “off-limits” area to Jesus and to pray boldly for leaders, workplaces, and all 39 counties of Washington to come under his Lordship. If you’ve ever treated parts of your life as “my zone,” this message will lovingly confront that and invite you into a fully surrendered life.  This devotional from Pastor Brian Noble unpacks Romans 14:7–9 to show that because Christ died and rose again, he is Lord over both the living and the dead—and over every ordinary moment of a believer’s life. Pastor Brian Noble connects Genesis 2 and Philippians 2 to teach that our work, our public responsibilities, and even mundane tasks like going to the grocery store all belong under Jesus’ Lordship. He applies this to Washington State, urging believers, elected officials, sheriffs, business owners, and pastors to consciously surrender their roles and decisions to Christ. The episode closes with a clear gospel call to repent, confess Jesus as Lord, and live as new creations empowered by the Holy Spirit.  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: Live for Jesus: The Moment That Changes Everything

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today If Jesus really died for you, why are you still living like your life is your own? In a world that tells you to “live your truth,” this message will confront you with God’s truth. For the next few minutes, I want you to forget the noise, the opinions, the excuses—and ask one raw question: am I truly living for Jesus, or just using His name? Stay with me, because what you decide after this could reshape every part of your life. This devotional from Pastor Brian Noble calls believers to move beyond casual Christianity and fully surrender their lives to Jesus in every area—time, relationships, money, and identity. It exposes the gap between saying “I believe” and actually living as a disciple in daily choices. You’ll hear a clear, urgent challenge to stop compromising with culture and start obeying Christ with bold, practical faith. By the end, listeners are invited to take a concrete next step to live for Jesus, not just talk about Him.
