Jesus Never Said... God Helps Those Who Helps Themselves

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2530901/fan_mail/new] “God helps those who help themselves.” It’s another common phrases people associate with the Bible, but Jesus never actually said it. In this episode of “Jesus Never Said…”, we discuss the difference between self-sufficiency and dependence on God. We also explore how modern culture pushes people toward self-reliance while Scripture continually points us toward grace, humility, and trust in God. The reality is:  👉 Jesus never taught people to depend on themselves.  👉 He taught people to follow Him. We'd love to hear from you -- email us at ListenToShoesOff@gmail.com

Jesus Never Said...Money is the Root of All Evil

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2530901/fan_mail/new] “Money is the root of all evil.” It’s one of the most repeated phrases connected to Christianity but it’s not actually what Scripture says. In this episode of “Jesus Never Said…”, we unpack what the Bible really teaches about money, greed, contentment, and the condition of the human heart. Because the issue was never money itself.  The issue is what we love… trust… and worship. And in a culture constantly pushing us toward “more,” this episode challenges us to honestly ask: What is really controlling my heart?

Jesus Never Said... Follow Your Heart

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2530901/fan_mail/new] “Just follow your heart.” It’s one of the most common pieces of advice in culture today but Jesus never actually said it.  In this first episode of our new series, “Jesus Never Said…”, we unpack the decision between following our feelings and following Christ. Culture tells us: trust yourself, live your truth, do what feels right. But Jesus taught something very different:  👉 “Follow Me.”  👉 “Deny yourself.”  👉 “Trust in the Lord.” The reality is: Feelings are real… but they were never meant to lead your life.  Because sometimes what feels right, still leads in the wrong direction.

The Kingdom of Heaven is Like.... | Matthew 25

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2530901/fan_mail/new] What does it actually mean to be ready for Jesus’ return? In the final episode of our series “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…”, we unpack one of Jesus’ most sobering parables—the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1–13. All ten looked prepared.  All ten were waiting.  All ten had lamps. But only some were truly ready. In this conversation, we discuss: *  The context of Matthew 25 and why Jesus told this parable  *  Why the bridegroom’s delay reflects the waiting for Christ’s return  *  The significance of the oil and the difference between appearance and preparation  *  What Jesus meant when He said, “I don’t know you”  *  Why readiness cannot be borrowed from someone else  *  And why Jesus warned us not to obsess over predicting dates, but to live prepared  The question is not “When?” but “Am I ready?” We'd love to hear from you -- email us at ListenToShoesOff@gmail.com
