Wake Up, Church! Your Personal Alarm Is Going Off

Show Notes

Have you ever hit the snooze button on something you knew you needed to deal with, and then watched the consequences pile up? In today's episode, I'm digging into one of the most overlooked truths in Scripture: time is a governor over our lives, and the wise are the ones who know what time it is.

Drawing from 1 Chronicles 12:32, Psalm 90:12, Ephesians 5:15-17, and the tragic stories of Hezekiah's Judah (Isaiah 22) and King David (2 Samuel 11-12), I walk through what happens when we ignore the "set times" God has placed over our lives, and what it looks like to live awake, alert, and ready for the Lord's return.

In this episode, you'll hear:

Why "knowing what time it is" is a mark of biblical wisdom (and what happens when we don't)
The story of the sons of Issachar, and what it means to have "understanding of the times"
How Judah's leaders did all the right things in the wrong order, and what it cost them
The domino effect of King David's one moment of ignoring God's timing
Why even the godliest among us are still bound by time
How a "kingdom first" mindset changes the way you steward your time
A personal wake-up call to examine what season you're really in
