  • Saying No . . . When Others Say Yes
    Jul 17 2025

    What do you do when temptation won’t go away? What if saying no comes at a personal cost?

    In this powerful episode, Stephen Davey walks through Genesis 39 to explore one of the most famous and challenging moments in Joseph’s life. Far from home, surrounded by luxury, and working for one of Egypt’s most powerful men, Joseph suddenly faces relentless temptation. But instead of giving in, he chooses integrity over indulgence; even when no one is watching.

    Stephen outlines three categories of temptation—material, personal, and sensual—and shows how Joseph faced all three. Despite being young, alone, and unrecognized in a foreign land, Joseph lived as though God was right beside him. That kind of integrity wasn’t convenient. It led to false accusation, a ruined reputation, and prison.

    But it also led to something more important: God’s continued presence and favor.

    This episode reminds you that temptation may not disappear after one victory—and resistance may not bring immediate reward. But as Stephen explains, God’s plan is still in motion, and His presence is never removed.

    Whether you’re struggling with compromise, craving recognition, or facing personal pressure, this message will help you stand firm. Saying no may not feel like a win today—but in God’s plan, it always is.

  • Teenage Dreamer
    Jul 16 2025

    Why does God allow hardship even in the lives of the faithful? That question echoes through the opening chapter of Joseph’s story. At just seventeen, Joseph is thrust into betrayal, slavery, and heartbreak—but none of it is wasted.

    In this episode, Stephen Davey unpacks the incredible events of Genesis 37. You’ll meet a teenage boy with a deep moral compass and a set of dreams that spark intense jealousy in his brothers. Joseph’s father favors him. His brothers envy him. And their envy leads to a plot that changes Joseph’s life forever.

    You’ll also discover how Joseph’s story is more than history—it’s a roadmap for your own walk with God. Stephen draws out lessons from Joseph’s character, his father Jacob’s passivity, and the bitterness that grew in his brothers’ hearts. Most of all, you’ll see that even when God’s blessings seem far away, His purpose is right on time.

    Whether you’re in a season of waiting, struggling with family wounds, or wondering where God is in your pain, this episode will offer hope and insight. Joseph’s story is proof that purity is possible, bitterness can be resisted, and God’s plan always moves forward—even in the pit.

  • How We Discipline the Unrepentant Part 2
    Jul 11 2025

    What happens when someone in the church refuses to repent? Is it loving to confront them; or should we just stay quiet? In this sobering episode, Stephen Davey explains the biblical framework for church discipline and the holy obligation members have to one another in matters of sin and accountability.

    Using passages from 1 Corinthians, Titus, Galatians, and 3 John, Stephen traces how church discipline is a spiritual act of love, not judgmentalism. He highlights the difference between discipling the willing and disciplining the defiant. You’ll hear what happened when one early church member, Diotrephes, abused his power and divided the church.

    Stephen also answers tough questions about judging others, when discipline is necessary, and how to respond with grace and truth. Whether dealing with doctrinal error, divisive behavior, or moral failure, the goal is always repentance, restoration, and the health of the body.

    Church discipline isn’t easy, but it’s essential. Without it, churches drift. With it, they grow stronger. This message will equip you to understand, embrace, and uphold a practice many fear, but Scripture clearly commands.
