The Sons of Abraham: Galatians 3

What happens when we prioritize God's voice over the world's advice?

In today’s episode of PREPPED, join James Spencer, PhD, as he invites us to challenge the cultural mantra of “follow your heart” by examining what it means to align our choices with God’s will. Through the lens of the Tower of Babel narrative and the lives of key biblical figures such as David and Noah, we explore how true success comes not from ambition or fear, but from obedience and trust in the Lord.

Drawing from the Westminster Shorter Catechism, we’ll reflect on the calling to glorify God and enjoy Him forever—not just as theology, but as a practical foundation for everyday living. By unpacking the metaphor of faith as resistance, we see discipleship likened to a dam holding firm under pressure. Learn how stepping back from cultural distractions through strategies like “Go Dark, Shine Bright” can help cultivate clarity, obedience, and intentionality in your spiritual journey.

In a world filled with narratives that deny and overlook God, PREPPED empowers Christians to live out a story that has God at its center. By bridging the gap between academic research and practical ministry, PREPPED equips believers to proclaim the gospel in word and deed by developing a deep understanding of God’s word and the Christian life.

Hosted by James Spencer, PhD, and featuring special guests, this podcast is dedicated to breaking down complex theological ideas into practical, everyday insights, which will prepare you to challenge the world’s narratives about love, politics, success, and what it means to be a “good person”. From navigating the challenges of life’s transitions and engaging thoughtfully with technology and politics to strengthening discipleship and giving a faithful testimony to your neighbors, PREPPED empowers believers to live out God’s plan in a world that omits Him. Our mission is to ensure that the difference between God’s story and the world’s story becomes as clear as the difference between a baptism and a bath. Whether you’re interested in biblical studies, apologetics, ministry training, or are simply looking for guidance on living out your faith, PREPPED is here to prepare you for the journey.
