  Ep. 449 Proverbs 3: How do you Trust?

  Sep 9, 202631 min

  What does it really mean to "trust in the Lord with all thine heart"? And are we willing to follow Him when His direction doesn't make sense to us yet? In this episode of Streaking the Scriptures , Jeff studies Proverbs 3 and explores one of the most familiar—and perhaps most challenging—invitations in all of scripture: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." But what does that kind of trust look like in real life? Jeff explores trusting the Lord spiritually, financially, socially, and intellectually, sharing personal experiences—including a pivotal early-career decision when the Lord's direction seemed to lead him away from what naturally made sense. Looking back, he could see opportunities and growth that he could not possibly have seen at the beginning. The conversation also goes beyond the familiar verses in Proverbs 3:5–6 to discover how the rest of the chapter teaches us to receive correction, seek wisdom, care for others, celebrate another person's success, and live with greater charity. Why listen? Because there will be moments when you cannot see the path ahead, when God's direction may not match your own reasoning, and when you desperately want to know why before you move forward. Proverbs 3 offers a different sequence: trust first, walk forward in faith, and allow understanding to come afterward. Listen and consider one important question: Where in your life right now is the Lord asking you to trust Him more than you trust your own understanding?

  Ep 448 Proverbs 2: The Way of Wisdom

  Sep 8, 202627 min

  What does it really mean to have the Lord as your shield? How can you recognize when you are moving from a path of light toward a path of darkness? And what role do wisdom, understanding, and discretion play in keeping you firmly on the Lord's path? In this episode of Streaking the Scriptures , we study Proverbs chapter 2 and discover a beautiful promise: as we seek wisdom, treasure the commandments, and walk uprightly, the Lord becomes our buckler—our shield and protector . That doesn't mean we will be protected from every trial, heartache, or difficulty. Instead, the Lord strengthens us to carry those burdens while still experiencing joy, peace, and confidence in Him. We also explore what it means to "apply thine heart to understanding" and how becoming still can help us recognize the quiet promptings of the Holy Spirit. Through personal experiences, we consider the power of listening before speaking, developing discretion, and waiting until we truly understand before adding our voice to a conversation. Finally, Proverbs 2 offers an important warning about leaving "the paths of uprightness" for the ways of darkness. Darkness doesn't always announce itself as darkness. Sometimes it comes through flattery, distraction, or seemingly small choices that gradually pull us away from the Spirit. Wisdom and understanding help us recognize those moments and stay on—or return to—the path of righteousness. Join me as we study Proverbs 2 and discover how seeking wisdom, listening to the Spirit, and walking uprightly can help us feel the Lord's protection and recognize His hand guiding us through every circumstance of life. And as always, keep streaking the scriptures.

  Ep 447 Proverbs 1: Slow to Answer

  Sep 7, 202630 min

  Are you seeking wisdom—or simply hoping God will rescue you when you need Him? In this episode of Streaking the Scriptures , Jeff begins a journey through Proverbs with one of its foundational truths: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." But the discussion quickly moves from ancient wisdom to the very real choices we make every day—who we listen to, what influences we follow, what we pursue, and how willing we are to hear the Lord before trouble comes. Drawing from personal experiences with peer pressure, workplace relationships, the temptation to pursue financial gain, and learning to stand for personal standards while still respecting others, Jeff explores Solomon's warning: "If sinners entice thee, consent thou not." The question isn't simply whether we recognize right and wrong—it's whether we have the courage to choose wisely when the people around us are choosing differently. Then the episode turns to a fascinating spiritual question: Why is the Lord sometimes slow to answer us? Comparing Proverbs with the experience of King Limhi's people in the Book of Mormon, Jeff considers the possibility that hearing the Lord is something we strengthen through consistent practice. Scripture study, prayer, repentance, obedience, kindness, and keeping the commandments may do more than demonstrate faith—they develop our ability to recognize His voice. And perhaps that changes how we understand those seasons when heaven seems quiet. The Lord's delay may not mean He has abandoned us. His people "began to prosper by degrees." Sometimes spiritual strength, sensitivity, and deliverance come a little at a time. Listen to this episode if you want to discover how the wisdom of Proverbs can help you make better choices, resist influences that pull you away from who you want to become, and develop the spiritual strength to hear and follow the voice of the Lord.

  Ep. 446 Psalms 110, 116-118 Fighting the Monster of Uncertainty

  Sep 6, 202637 min

  What do you do when you don't know what comes next? Uncertainty about our careers, finances, families, decisions, and future can quickly turn into fear. And sometimes the hardest uncertainty comes when we look backward and wonder: What if I had made a different decision? What would my life look like today? In this episode of Streaking the Scriptures , Jeff studies Psalms 110, 116, 118, and 120 and discovers a powerful recurring message: when everything around us feels uncertain, the Lord remains certain. Jeff gets personal about decisions from his own past—including walking away from a successful business and later wondering what might have happened had he chosen differently. But Psalm 116 offers a beautiful answer to the regret and uncertainty we all experience: the Lord hears our prayers, meets us in our weakness, and can continue to guide us even after we've taken a wrong turn. Then Psalm 118 delivers the central challenge of the episode: "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." In a world where we can instantly turn to experts, authority figures, Google, or even AI for answers, Jeff asks an important question: After gathering all that information, do we still take our decision to the Lord? Using the image of hiking through a rock field where the trail temporarily disappears, Jeff explores what it means to keep moving when life's path isn't obvious. We may wander. We may choose the wrong rock. We may temporarily lose sight of the trail. But if we continue calling upon the Lord, He can lead us back to the path. If you're facing uncertainty, questioning a past decision, or trying to determine which direction to go next, this episode is for you. The path may be uncertain. The Lord is not.
