#277 - Kyle Thompson // Mere Christianity: No Soft Christianity Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

We trace a straight line from C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity to a practical call: choose holiness over niceness. Jesus’ claims demand obedience, fruit matters more than feelings, and love sometimes speaks hard truth to rescue people from sin.
• Lewis’s trilemma and the lordship claim
• Fruit as the public test of faith
• Why “nice guy” religion fails people
• Holiness as the believer’s true aim
• Obedience to Jesus over social approval
• Speaking truth with courage and care
• Hope in ongoing sanctification and final perfection

#276 - Kyle Thompson // Mere Christianity: The Trilemma Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

We press into C.S. Lewis’s famous trilemma and the claim of Jesus in John 10, challenging the safe label of “great moral teacher.” The call is simple and costly: if Jesus is Lord, stake your life on him.
• why “great moral teacher” fails when weighed against Jesus’ claims
• liar, lunatic, or Lord as the only coherent options
• John 10 and the unity of the Son with the Father
• why the crowd reached for stones and what that means
• abundant life defined as union with the Father, not prosperity
• moving from admiration to allegiance

#275 - Kyle Thompson // Mere Christianity: The Cost of Perfection Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

We explore Lewis’s claim that Christ asks for everything and pair it with Jesus’s call to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow him. We show why perfection is required, why we cannot achieve it, and how Christ’s righteousness becomes ours through surrender.
• the sword imagery and equipping men for spiritual battle
• why Mere Christianity still pierces modern assumptions
• the cost of perfection and the end of half measures
• Jesus’s call to deny self and carry the cross
• cultural self-worship contrasted with gospel surrender
• why perfection is required and unattainable by effort
• how Christ’s righteousness makes us right with God
• counting the cost and asking if Jesus is trustworthy

#274 - Kyle Thompson // Mere Christianity: The Reality of the Law Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

We trace C.S. Lewis’s “law of human nature” and why our reflex to excuse failure proves we already believe in a moral standard. Paul’s words in Romans 2 deepen the point: the work of the law is written on the heart, raising urgent questions about responsibility and grace.
• the Daily Blade’s mission to equip men for the fight
• the 100-book list and why C.S. Lewis gets his own category
• Mere Christianity as a foundational apologetics work
• the law of human nature and the habit of excuses
• Romans 2 on conscience and moral universality
• limits of culture in explaining right and wrong
• practical steps for confession, change and integrity
• setting up the question of perfection for tomorrow

#273 - Joby Martin // Stewarding Your Body To Love God And Serve People Jan 16, 2026

Show notes

We press into the Shema and ask how loving God with strength reshapes daily choices, ministry, and manhood. Physical stewardship becomes worship as we reject both obsession and neglect and build rhythms that help us love people with our bodies.
• treating the body as stewardship, not ownership
• bodily training has some value alongside godliness
• provider and protector roles requiring physical readiness
• idolatry versus sacrilege in health habits
• practical self‑assessment across heart, mind, soul, strength
• two questions to cut hindrances and add helps
• connecting fitness to mission and service

#272 - Joby Martin // Lies, Truth, And The Battle For Your Mind Jan 15, 2026

Show notes

• The Shema as an evaluative tool for the mind
• Romans 12:2 and the pattern of renewal
• Naming lies and replacing them with Scripture
• “It is written” as a practical response to temptation
• 2 Corinthians 10 and taking thoughts captive
• Philippians 4:8–9 and a blueprint for attention
• Auditing media, podcasts, and daily inputs
• Choosing voices that lead to Christ
• Rejecting double-mindedness and pursuing focus

#271 - Joby Martin // Abide And Grow Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

We explore how to love God with all your soul by abiding in Christ, embracing pruning, and choosing habits that fuel a living relationship. John 15 and James 4:8 frame a practical path: cut what hinders, feed what helps, and trust God to meet you as you draw near.
• the call to abide in Christ as the source of fruit
• the garden metaphor of pruning and growth
• mortification of sin and vivification of holy desire
• identifying distractions that drain spiritual focus
• adding presence, people, and word as core practices
• the promise of James 4:8 to draw near and be met

#270 - Joby Martin // You Can Measure Your Faith By How You Love People Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

We trace the Shema from creed to practice by testing love where it counts—marriage, parenting, and brotherhood. Scripture frames a simple measure for the heart: how we treat people reveals how we love God.
• the Word as the sword of the Spirit
• the Shema as a whole-life call to love
• marriage marked by initiative and service
• parenting toward relationship and discipleship
• confession and accountability among trusted friends
• love as public witness that validates faith

#269 - Joby Martin // New Year, One Life, All In Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

We lay down resolutions and pick up the greatest commandment, asking how to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Using the Shema and Luke 2:52, we build a practical diagnostic to align the whole life under one Lord.
• the Shema reframed as God as the page, not item one
• new creation identity as the basis for evaluation
• belief without love challenged by Jesus’ command
• heart, soul, mind and strength as one integrated life
• Luke 2:52 as a model for holistic growth
• a simple diagnostic for habits, learning, prayer and service
• next steps for a week of intentional recalibration

#268 - Kyle Thompson // For His Steadfast Love Endures Forever Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

We walk through Psalm 136:23–26 to trace a love that remembers our lowest state, rescues us from our foes, feeds our bodies, and calls us to give thanks. The cross and the empty tomb ground the claim that steadfast love truly endures forever.
• Psalm 136 refrain as the theme of endurance
• Honesty about sin and the deceitful heart
• God’s provision as daily evidence of love
• Rescue from sin as the ultimate deliverance
• Imputed faith and the finished work of Christ
• Vivid account of the crucifixion and its meaning
• Resurrection as proof that love outlasts death
• Invitation to believe and to share the good news
