WAKE Bible Study Series - Season 1 // Week 11: Whose Approval Are You Living For?

This week…we step into what that actually looks like when we truly know God. So before you read anything else… pause. Ask God to show you where you’ve been conforming to the world, instead of following the truth of His Word. This is Week 11 of our 12 week WAKE Bible Study… where we are not just hearing truth…we are learning to live it boldly. LISTEN NOW TO THE FULL EPISODE 11. [https://wakehersoul.substack.com/p/episode-11-the-ways-we-are-ruled] The Truth We’re Sitting With From Episode 11: You cannot follow Jesus and conform to the world. The world has a pattern. A way of thinking.A way of living.A way of defining success. And if we’re not careful…we slowly start to blend in. But Scripture is clear: Do not conform. Which means…we have a choice. Because following Jesus will make you look different. It may cost you approval. It may bring misunderstanding. It may even bring criticism. But Jesus told us that would happen. So the question is: Whose approval are you living for? Because we cannot live for both. This is where faith becomes visible. When we stop blending in… and start standing firm. WANT TO DIVE DEEPER?

WAKE Bible Study Series - Season 1 // Week 10: More Than Sunday Faith

This week…we ask a deeper question. Do you actually know Him? So before you read anything else… pause. Ask God to show you the truth of your relationship with Him. This is Week 10 of our 12 week WAKE Bible Study… where we are not just hearing truth…we are learning to walk with God. LISTEN NOW TO THE FULL EPISODE 10. [https://wakehersoul.substack.com/p/episode-10-are-you-playing-christian] The Truth We’re Sitting With From Episode 10: Following Jesus is not about appearances…it’s about relationship. It’s possible to go to church…and not know Him. It’s possible to call yourself a Christian…and not actually follow Him. Because knowing about God is not the same as walking with Him. And this is where things get honest. Faith was never meant to live in: * one hour on Sunday * a quick devotional * or a label we carry It’s meant to live in your everyday life. In your thoughts.In your decisions.In your conversations.In how you respond. Scripture says to seek Him first. Not occasionally. Not when it’s convenient. First. So the question becomes: Are you actually seeking Him? Or just surrounding yourself with things that look like faith? WANT TO DIVE DEEPER? LISTEN NOW TO THE FULL EPISODE 10.

WAKE Bible Study Series - Season 1 // Week 9: Demolish The Lies

This week…we go deeper than thoughts. We go after the beliefs behind them. So before you read anything else… pause. Ask God to reveal what you’ve believed that was never from Him. This is Week 9 of our 12 week WAKE Bible Study… where we are not just hearing truth…we are rebuilding our lives on it. LISTEN NOW TO THE FULL EPISODE 9. [https://wakehersoul.substack.com/p/episode-9-what-are-you-defending] The Truth We’re Sitting With From Episode 9: You must actively dismantle false beliefs…and replace them with truth. Because beliefs don’t form in isolation. They are shaped by: * your upbringing * your environment * other people * culture And sometimes…they sound harmless. “It’s not a big deal.”“God wouldn’t care about that.”“Everyone does it.” But these are arguments. And Scripture calls us to demolish them. Not entertain them. Not tolerate them. Demolish them. Because what you believe will shape how you live. And if your beliefs are misaligned… your life will be too. This is where things shift. When you stop agreeing with what isn’t true. And start building your life on what God actually says.

[https://wakehersoul.substack.com/p/episode-8-the-truth-behind-your-thoughts] The Truth We’re Sitting With From Episode 8: You are not responsible for every thought…but you are responsible for what you do with it. Thoughts come. Some are automatic.Some are shaped by past patterns.Some are influenced by what we’ve been exposed to. But we don’t have to accept them. Scripture tells us to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. That means we have a choice. We can let thoughts lead us… or we can bring them to God and align them with truth. Because thoughts don’t stay thoughts. They shape how we feel.They influence how we act.And over time…they shape our lives. This is where transformation becomes real. Not just in what we believe…but in how we think moment by moment. WANT TO DIVE DEEPER? LISTEN NOW TO THE FULL EPISODE 8.

WAKE Bible Study Series - Season 1 // Week 7: What Are You Still Holding Onto?

We’ve been going deeper every week. Week 6 showed us what’s been shaping us. This week…we confront what we’re still holding onto. So before you read anything else… pause. Ask God to show you what you’ve been avoiding. This is Week 7 of our 12 week WAKE Bible Study… where we are not just hearing truth…we are walking it out. LISTEN NOW TO THE FULL EPISODE 7. [https://wakehersoul.substack.com/p/episode-7-are-you-choosing-comfort] The Truth We’re Sitting With From Episode 7: Partial surrender still leaves open doors. And God is calling us to full obedience. Sometimes it’s not obvious sin. It’s subtle. Things we’ve had in our lives for years.Things we’ve never questioned.Things that seem harmless. But when God opens your eyes…you’re now responsible for what you see. And this is where many of us get stuck. We see it…but we don’t act on it. Not because we don’t love God…but because it feels uncomfortable. Because it might cost us something. Because it doesn’t fully make sense yet. But obedience isn’t about comfort. It’s about trust. Scripture tells us to be alert. To stay awake. Because the enemy looks for open doors. And anything we leave unaddressed can become one. This isn’t about fear. It’s about alignment. God reveals things so He can free you. WANT TO DIVE DEEPER? LISTEN NOW TO THE FULL EPISODE 7.
