What happens when we try to carry God's glory our way instead of His? The biblical account of King David's attempt to transport the Ark of the Covenant reveals profound truths about modern ministry approaches. David initially chose convenience—placing the sacred ark on an ox-drawn cart—which led to disaster when Uzzah was struck dead for touching it. The lesson? God's presence was never meant to be automated or institutionalized, but carried by consecrated individuals working in harmony. When Da...

What if our approach to children's ministry is fundamentally flawed? During a recent worship service, I received an unexpected revelation about how we're forming the faith of our youngest believers - and it might challenge everything you thought you knew about children's ministry. Most churches have embraced high-energy, entertainment-focused programs to capture children's attention spans. We've all seen it - the SpongeBob-like enthusiasm, the puppet shows, the VeggieTales videos. While keeping ...

In Matthew 16 the Pharisees and Sadducees seek a sign from Jesus. Not only does He rebuke them for not recognizing the sign in front of them, but also calls it a sign of spiritual adultery. Why? Well, That's what C-Dub talks about in this Short. https://wofoyo.org/ #wofoyo

We continue our discussion of Matthew 13 by asking some questions to determine if we're stony ground.....the type that's not deep enough to endure hard times and let the Word do it's deeper work in us. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

One of the terms used in preacher land for salvation or answering an altar call is "Making a Decision for Christ." Why do try to persuade people to make that decision only to discourage them from making every decision thereafter? In some circles, it's a stark reality. https://wofoyo.org/

In Matthew 13 Jesus talks about the Parable of the Sower. The Sower sows the Word of God, the message of the Kingdom. Some falls along the wayside, others fall on Stony Ground, and others among thorns. Then there's good ground that yields increase. In this series, we discuss ways to tell if you're stony ground and what to do about it. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

We conclude our Days of Rebuilding series by getting the book of Nehemiah and its parallels to today. While Ezra focused more on the Spiritual rebuilding of Israel, Nehemiah is a decidedly more political book and at times sounds eerily familiar to today's political climate. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

In this short, C-Dub examines Matthew 12 how Jesus had those who were out to find fault in whatever they did. It really boiled down to two things: The competency of Jesus and the jealousy of the Pharisees. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

In this full-length episode, C-Dub and Bones get into the book of Ezra to look into some parallels between the return of exile from Babylon/Persia and what is going on in the Unites States today. History has a way of repeating itself. Will it do so again? https://wofoyo.org/ #wofoyo

In this short, C-Dub reads from Matthew 11 and Jesus' evaluation of John the Baptist. The religious leaders as well as others criticized both John the Baptist and Jesus, so why do we think we'll be any different when we serve God as we are led by the Holy Spirit? #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

We conclude our discussion of "What does it hurt?". Quite often we are asked this question when people want to engage in unscriptural behavior and have the church condone it. We bring up some more of these topics and talk about the damage that can occur. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

In this Short, C-Dub recalls a saying from his favorite preacher: "Peas don't mean much until they're on your plate." We often think we know something but until we go through it and sometimes go through it repeatedly do we really learn, especially when it comes to walking out the Word of God. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

We mentioned on a previous episode how several times when we have pointed out that certain activities and mindsets are unscriptural, we are often met with the question "What does it hurt?". Well since there's nothing new under the sun, you can go find examples of how it has happened in Scripture and see the harm things produced in the past and will continue to do in the present if engaged in. Part 1 of 2. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/...

C-Dub talks about how the corporate church world can encourage you to focus on secondary and tertiary things that really don't have much to do with your relationship with Christ, which is the main thing. Before you try and be some pastor's "armor bearer", focus on being a disciple of Jesus Christ. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

For the last 3 years, the Lord has shared with C-Dub some things to look forward to in the upcoming year. For 2025, He shared with me the prophecy of Simeon over Jesus and to Mary. In short, there will be contention, the rise and fall of many, and a sword piercing our hearts, and true motives being exposed. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

In the book of Esther, Haman wanted to build 75 foot gallows to hang Mordecai on. It's a tale of revenge and political intrigue. In today's environment, the social justice crowd would be rooting it on. However there's a moral in this story to be careful in our own lives about being eager to build gallows for others. Sometimes those same gallows can hang us up as well. It also behooves us to ask who God is using and why, because as Saul of Tarsus found out, it can be hard to kick against the catt...

We conclude our discussion of Projection by getting into Scriptural examples of projection and how people today will often gaslight you and then play the victim when they're caught. We also talk about the importance of standards and ideals, despite the fact that we often fall short. Thank God for Grace. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

A while back C-Dub and Bones talked about the concept of the Ancient Landmark in Proverbs 22:28. It describes a concept of eliminating conflict and confusion by maintaining standards and ideals-Such is the Word of God. However, a recent experience caused C-Dub to gain some additional insights on the application and importance of Ancient Landmarks-understanding times and seasons. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

In this episode we discuss the principle of projection-where people impute something that they are doing themselves onto others. This isn't always in a negative sense, but it is rarely the truth and can be harmful. We talk about some of the ways this manifests and give Scriptural examples. #wofoyo

In this Short, C-Dub talks about rumors, some of the things the Bible says about them, how to handle them, and also relates some family stories. Never forget that the Word of God is Truth and when you get into the Word for Yourself, it negates the rumors and falsehoods. #wofoyo

We continue to discuss the importance of the Five-Fold Ministry as explained by Paul in Ephesians 4. Specifically, we talk about what we miss out on when we don't recognize one or more of those functions. What blind spots could be avoided? How has the echo chamber mentality kept us from being united as a Body in love? #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/
Dec 10, 2024•34 min•Season 4Ep. 204
In this Short, C-Dub talks about a phrase used in one of our favorite TV show: The Unit. "What is permitted of others is not permitted of you." As we grow, it is not uncommon for the Lord to give us some version of this principle in our walk with Him. We give some Scriptural references where this has been the case. #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/

In this episode we get into Ephesians 4 and Paul's exhortation about the function of what is commonly called the Five-Fold Ministry. It says that these are for the equipping of the Saints for the work of the ministry. But what does that mean? Is it possible that we've had a wrong concept about what ministry is? Is ministry something that is intended to be way more common and therefore way more effective and important that what we've previously believed? (Part 1 of 2) #wofoyo https://wofoyo.org/...
