This broadcast will be focusing on the ramifications of being in the proximity of Biblical warnings in life for too long, to the point that it can actually bring chaos into our homes and mental escapes. I wonder if that has the potential to decay one’s character, without even noticing it starting to wither away…

I know we are well into the chapter-by-chapter Bible studying thing held on this day and most of the week, but I feel it is very much necessary to temporarily shelf that, at least for today and however long the Lord says so after that. This broadcast will be unique in itself, as I have way too much on my heart to discuss, in regards to the title of this stream. I do want to apologize in advance to all of those who appreciate the “Study Notes and Bonus Content” links we include with the normal study notes, as they will not be found below as well. Just know I have every intention of completing those series, even if I have to record more streamlined versions. If you are the praying type, I could use some clarity on that.

Consider this broadcast to be the most intentional message that Words of Stuff has had so far. I pray it blesses you, especially if you give the core of today’s message an honest (with yourself) chance. If you have ever wanted to invite someone to church, now is that time. Godspeed.

At the tail end of probably the biggest impact of a week I’ve ever experienced in my life, in regards to my faith and leveling up towards God’s calling, I find myself sitting here as I write this in a type of peace that shouldn’t make sense. Fortunately, we serve a God so full of love and compassion, I have the awesome opportunity to share it with you and anyone else who God may desire to hear about it. In typical Words and Stuff fashion, this will be done using a Biblical foundation and message that will intertwine both the title and description of this broadcast.

In this Thursday’s study in Matthew Chapter 20, we have the privilege of working through multiple events directly following our Savior Jesus Christ, with a whole bunch to unpack. One of the events is narrated by Jesus directly, as He explains an aspect of how God’s Kingdom actually functions, even til this day regardless of anyone taking the time to considering it.

As the Book of Proverbs is well-known for, our chapter today has a whole lot of cautionary warnings as well as encouragement towards choices based in wisdom. Within the variety of little rabbit trails, there is a heavy emphasis on not being vocally foolish like the ones around us that are misguided by the world. I will be making the case for not falling prey to this type of behavior in modern times during this broadcast.

In today’s study, there’s a lot of expected lore and origin story details you’ll find in the book of Genesis, including some of the harsher topics that we even discuss in modern society. However, we will also be zeroing in on a particular reference to when God uses fear against the enemies of His people, which is something I think we should consider more; the power of God in current times.

Throughout the book of Psalms, there are plenty of examples of how following and seeking Jesus can, in a very enlightening way, break you down and then build you back up into what He always intended you to be. Today’s stream will be heavily focused on that subject, plus many other trails to go down and seek the Lord together. Feel free to join if you feel led to do so.

With all the collective focus on Easter in our culture, I know there will be plenty of Easter messages to choose from and enjoy today. Actually, an aspect of this particular broadcast includes that very same decision being made, with the inclusion of a very impactful sermon for us to enjoy and fellowship with. However, in typical Words and Stuff fashion, I feel led to take this an extra step and discuss the unsaid elephant in many rooms around the world today: why does Easter even matter in 2026?
