Hello. Hello, everyone, and welcome Back to Saved. NASA Season 4, Episode 1. We back. We back, everybody. What is going on? Welcome back. Rising shine, Rising grind. You guys, we're back to Save Not Soft. Yeah, it's been eight months. I'm married, My hair is brown. I stopped doing my eyebrows. I've matured. I'm a little more girlier. We're in a new place, new scenery, new last name. Like, what are we talking about, you guys? Like, we are back. Save not soft Is back is better than ever. And you may be looking at the screen in your life. Who is this nut job I'm watching right now and why is she so freaking hyped? My name is Emmy Moore, Brookings Clock. The last name Brook ends because I'm married and I wasn't married. And now I am so crazy how stuff be changing. Amy Moore, Brookhavens in the same not soft. What is safe, not soft. All jokes aside, we rushing into it. I'm so sorry, but I gotta tell you, in case you never watched, Safe Not Soft is a Christian podcast to let you know that you are love seen and heard by Jesus Christ. And this walk is not easy. It is hard. It is not for the swift. It is for those who are intentional. And this podcast is never intended or curated for you to replace your walk with Jesus. This podcast is created for as a tool for a girly pop like me to teach you the word of God and for us to walk through it together to let you know that you're not alone. And we're going through this together, you guys. Strong and proud. Very strong and proud. It's a little hard, I'm not gonna lie. I had a moment this morning. I was like, dang, God, I go through so much. But you know what? If it's for Jesus, we're gonna do it. Amen. Oh, my gosh, I've missed you guys so much. Eight months. So crazy. For those who don't know, I got married on July 15, 2025, and I'd announced on season three, the last episode, right before I had to walk down the aisle, that I was taking a complete sabatical off of the podcast because the Lord had shown me that my new ministry and my first prioritive ministry was no longer Save Not Soft. It was my marriage. And so the past eight months, Malik and I have been building a home. We got a dog. Her name's Harper. She's, like, mad cute. Um, she poo poo and pee pee everywhere. But, you know, we're living life and we got an apartment. We've made it so cozy here. And Malik and I have really cultivated our marriage to be such a safe place for one another and for other people. And I am so blessed that I took that time to transition, because moving from all the way California to Florida has been one of the most challenging things of my entire life. And so I needed that space. Space to just lean into this transition that God was placing into my life. So thank you guys for the grace you have given me. I've heard you guys. I've heard you guys were watching season one over again because it's been. It's been hard. Big sis is back, and I feel like I got way much more wisdom. Like, I've been through the trenches, and I have received so much kindness in the teachings of Jesus and him showing up in ways that I never thought he would show up. Even marriage just being a testament within itself of how to lay a life down for another person and how this is not perfect in the sense of it's not clean, it's messy, the cross is not aesthetic, it's bloody. And I've been able to really witness that firsthand. But I hope you guys have been doing great, and I'm really excited for this season. This season is going to look a little different, and as I shared with you guys last year, just kind of like, save not soft etiquette and vision of what last year was was. The word I got was year of the bride, meaning that God was going to exalt his bride and take back the people who thought they were lost and didn't belong. God was going to come and get his bride, and he did. We have seen great revival in 2025, and I believe that 2026 is going to be a greater harvest, a more people coming back to the heart of Jesus. And this year, I began to ask the Lord, okay, Lord, what is it that you want to do with the podcast and through the ministry? Because there's so many things that have changed, not even just in my personal life, but even just within the sheep and within the body, there has been a specific cry. And when I asked the Lord this months ago, he told me in June of 2025 that stepping into 2026, this wasn't just the word for 2026, but this would be kind of like the catalyst of what would come now. And everything after this is that Save Not Soft is going to be a podcast that preaches specifically the two words the good news. And what is good news? The good news is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So get this. Whether you've tuned in to episode number one, six, 17 or 14, you are going to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, that he has died and resurrected and that he has lived a life, that he has been shamed on a cross for you and I, So we could be in eternal glory with him and the Father. And that will not be not communicated in any one of these episodes, whether it's for five minutes or if we stay on the crucified Christ for 20 minutes. Because the cross is the salvation of our faith. Like without the cross of Jesus Christ, our theology just crumbles. Like Christianity conceptualized, literally just crumbles to the floor. Lord. And I've noticed that we became almost, and this is me just looking as a leader of the condition of the sheep. We have entertained so much entertainment. We've entertained so many spaces that talk about topics surrounding. And again, these aren't bad topics. I'm just saying that if we're lacking the foundational aspects, it drops in vain. Like, we want to hear things about secular music and celebrities and dating and all these things that are important and we should talk about these things. And simultaneously, if they lack the foundational revelation of crucified and him crucified, we will miss everything. And I've noticed that, especially in our generation, Gen Z, which is the generation that I pivotally reach the most, we need a fresh revelation of Christ and Christ crucified. And if we don't peel our eyes to Christ Jesus, we are going to run in a lane that's not ours. And we're going to be running and searching for a different price, thinking that it's Jesus when it's not actually him. And so the tone of this podcast is, I'm moving the mic a bit closer. We're not playing about Jesus this season. We are not disrespecting him and we are not going to prostitute his name. He is not going to be used as a pawn for an agenda or for a stance. I'm done with all this. Like, I feel like that was really the tone and the, I guess, kind of like this righteous, I, I hate the word feeling. I guess conviction that I was having is like the last thing we're going to do on this podcast is disrespect God and play him in his face like that. Like, well, you're going to preach Christ and him crucified, and we're going to exalt Jesus for who he is and not for a secret agenda. Like, Christ has been crucified because God is getting all the glory through his son, and so we could live in eternity with him. And there was a purpose and there was a job up to us to make disciples of all nations. And this is just propelling that. So buckle up, y'. All. I'm excited for the season. It's gonna be great. And there's so many things that are yet to come. We're gonna commune. There's gonna be online discipleship. This isn't just gonna be something that's you're gonna watch and cave. How you guys, once every two weeks, we're building community, and we're gonna do some stuff that's, like, really awesome and just fellowship with other women. I'll talk about that later, because that don't matter right now. I really just want to pray before I pray. If you hear some majestic, godly music, like, what did angel step in the room with me? Who's here? And you're like, what is this? It's something that the Lord actually was sharing with me, because to OG say, my sophomore listeners, we always pray before each and every single episode. And Malik. Whoo. In the oil you're fried in like a little chicken tender, babe. That oil God dipped you in. There has been glory that's flown from his fingertips, and, oh, my gosh, Malik has created music that has just been a great tool for me personally, to encounter the presence of God. So I wanted to. He made one specifically for this podcast. So every time when we pray, there's gonna be a pad that's little light, little undergirding under our prayer, just for all of us to enter the presence. And the goal of this is why we pray, because we just started praying. I never said why we pray. Before we get into the lesson, it's important for us to pray, and I would actually encourage us. For anybody who's just a Christian is like, man, I feel like I read the Word, and it doesn't leave a tattoo or an imprint on my heart, and it's because it might be falling on rocky soil. When we pray, when we ask the Holy Spirit to help us pray, and we call on the spirit of prayer, and we're praying in accordance to the scriptures, and we're looking at Christ while we pray. And it's not just a pleading, and this is what I want, but I'm magnifying you. I'm glorifying you. And when I speak, it's going to be of exaltation. And when I ask my request, I could approach the throne of grace and confidence, knowing that you will return it. The reason why we pray is because we're setting the atmosphere. Whatever word is going to fall, that's literally it. And so every time we pray on this podcast, come in with the expectation that when we pray, this isn't just something that's coming out of our mouths. Like, when we pray, I'm just going to challenge you. Look into the eyes of Jesus or try to find it. Feel the sensing of the Holy Spirit. Whether the Holy Spirit is hovering. Your house, your room, if you're at the gym, if you're in the car, if you're on a walk, feel the Holy Spirit begin to hover over you as we pray. Because that's exactly what's happening when the Holy Spirit begins to hover over us while we pray. Pray, and the word of Jesus Christ begins to fall on us, it's going to be planted in great soil, and it's going to leave an impartation on the inside of our hearts to where we are able to actually absorb what Jesus is actually saying. And so if we're just pursuing knowledge apart from intimacy, it will never sustain us. So that's just kind of like a mini breakdown why we pray and kind of moving forward, like, what that's going to look like. But I really want to pray for you guys because I really love you guys. And I am so honored, not just to be back, but I'm so honored by God, I could cry. I'm so honored by God that for some reason he trusted me to do this. And I commit myself to doing this the best that I can with everything that God has taught me. So let me pray for you. Lord, I thank you. I thank you for your kindness. I thank you for your faithfulness. I thank you that your word says, your goodness and your mercy, they follow me. Thank you that even when I thought I didn't deserve it, even when I messed up, even 20 minutes before this, even when I thought I was falling short and couldn't find a way of escape and couldn't see you clearly, your goodness and your mercy, they followed me. And when it found me, Father, you restored me. I thank you, Lord, for not just forming us, but filling us. Holy Spirit, with your power presence. Just hover over me and the listener on the other side of the screen. Father, Lord, I ask for your Holy Spirit to assist us and comfort us as we start hearing the words of Jesus Christ and that they're no longer just words, but, Lord, they're words that cause transformation. And, Lord, I even pray for the person who Thinks that they're way too saved to hear the message of the gospel, that they think they already know Christ and him crucified. I ask that you give them a fresh revelation of your face. I pray for the person on the other side of the screen who's going through a trial and a circumstance that is almost too hard to bear and they don't see a way out and they're about to throw in the towel. Lord, I ask that in every way they have tried and they didn't seem to get an answer, that you answered them. Here today, I stand as an intercessor to pray for them that the image of Jesus Christ is enough for them, that the blood of Jesus Christ carries enough authority and power, that the blood still works, that the cross that Jesus Christ was pinned on 2,000 years ago still makes an impact in 2026. And furthermore, Lord, I ask for you to restore your people. Lord, I ask for you to strengthen me as a shepherd, to give me a greater compassion for your sheep. That when I speak, Lord, that it's not filled by me or emotionalism, it's filled by the Holy Spirit. And that the Holy Spirit almost possesses my mouth to speak unto your sheep. That it's not by my works or my strength. For, Lord, I. I'm weak. I'm hecka weak, Lord. I don't have much to give on my own. What I do have to give is the breath that I owe back to you that you've already placed on the inside of me. So, Lord, use my breath. Even when Moses stuttered and when he was afraid and scared, Lord, you said that you had created his tongue. I thank you that you've created mine and that you've sharpened it. Keep me slow to speak, Lord. And Lord, thank you, Jesus. Let your conviction rest on this podcast. Let conviction rest on this podcast podcast in great correction. And more importantly, your compassion, Lord. We invite you, Holy Spirit. We invite you, Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, we ask for you to show us Jesus. You are obsessed with showing us Jesus. Show us Jesus. And I pray against every single heart that feels distracted and feels like things are coming against them and we're thinking about other things. We take this moment to look at Christ in the eyes and consider him worthy and to make a choice. And that choice is to look at him. The choice is to look at him and say, abba, Jesus, I have chosen you. I place my thoughts and my mind on you. And everything else fades away. Let us be focused. Speak. Focus. I love you, Lord. We love you, Lord. Speak to us. I Plead the blood of Jesus over this podcast. I plead the blood of Jesus over this podcast. I encamp your angels around you. Protect your sheep. Protect your sheep. Protect your sheep. Thank you, Lord. Let this word fall on good soil. Make us great stewards. We love you, Lord, and we praise you in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. You guys, this year has been craziest year of my life. I have learned so much and I've shared that. You know, we go to so many spaces and we think Jesus is being preached. And I think something I realized the past, like, eight months is like, wow. A lot of us actually don't talk about Jesus like, we're talking about Bible stories and we're talking about great things in scriptures, but I was encountering a emptiness and a void that I couldn't really name for a while, and that place was just called Places Without Jesus. And the moment I realized that I love Jesus, I submit my life to Jesus, and I made him the center of my life as much as I could. And yet there were still places that lacked him. I became more vigilant of the neediness that is of the human life, that no matter what age how saved you are, we always need the gospel every day. I know the two saved people don't like to, like to hear this. I know the people who love to preach about demonology and generational, hello, curses. And even the people who like to preach lukewarmness and passivity and comfortability. I know that's not something people really like to emphasize on, is just the gospel of Jesus Christ because why? It sounds a little boring. It sounds like everybody's already talked about it. Oh, they already know what Jesus did. What Jesus did is the very thing that saves us each and every single day. And I promise you, the moment that you forget that Jesus died on the cross for. For your sins, and when you forget to make it personal, your Christian life will crumble if you do not have that revelation of Jesus Christ. And it's fundamental because we're growing in a time to where Christianity is becoming very popular and people swear that it's not. I see you on Instagram. I see the people with the bios and the tick tocks and in the Instagrams, and they're like, christ is my Savior. I love him. And it's like, then you don't live a life that's for Christ. Like, it's popular and it's trendy. You're watching all the Christian influencers, me included. And yet we're living a life that's not for Jesus, just for the image of Christian. And you want to know what? I'm not playing that. Like, I'm just not playing that. Like, the Christian walk isn't something to be mocked or aesthetic. And get me, I'm not against a good Instagram picture, but I am against prostituting the name of Jesus to put on an image that that is not actually true. And when we forget Christ crucified and we wear him around our neck as an aesthetic rather than an actual crucifixion, that this is a bloody death, that this is an aesthetic picture, that this is the Christian lifestyle where we will bleed, where we need to cry out, where we drink a cup of suffering, this is the Christian walk that is not easy. It's not just like a cute little dainty necklace. What are we talking about? And Christ crucified is everything. It's the center of our faith. It's the epitome of what we believe. It's the most essential aspect to the Christian faith. If you forget Christ and Christ crucified, then you're probably not Christian. If you don't believe in that, probably something else. Probably one of them. There's a lot of things people believe in, a lot of things. I don't know what you would be, but you'd be something. But many have tasted the limitations of their own freedom because of a lax revelation of Christ in Christ crucified. And I think there's so many people in the body of Christ and a lot of sheep who are like, I love Jesus, but why am I not free? I would like to prompt a question, is you love Jesus. You know who he is. And I would ask you that in the places where you lack most freedom, has Jesus filled that space, truly? And has the revelation of Christ and him crucified filled the space where you are lacking, filled the space where you are crying? Filled the space where you feel depleted and left behind. Has he filled that space? And if it's yes to all, then you might actually be a perfect Christian. And you know what? Good for you. Because this morning, Malik will tell. Malik, you're married to me. We sleep in the same bed together. So sweet. Permanent sleepover. But I was down bad. I was down bad. I'd be down bad sometimes. And you want to know what gets me out every single time? What is it, babe? Christ and Christ crucified. Not Emmy. You're such a good Christian because you lead all these people. That's not why I'm a good Christian. Like, I love what I do. And that's not what keeps me moving. What keeps me Moving is Hebrews 12. I keep my eyes on one prize, and that's Jesus. And if a platform comes along the way, if a speaking engagement comes along the way, if new knowledge comes along the way, if new friendships and relationships come along the way, amazing, great. I love that. And that's not the force to my endurance. The force of my endurance is the blood of Jesus. And the moment I forget that nothing makes sense. And so I would encourage the believer that we need to be fueled by a fresh revelation of Jesus. And if you think you have enough, I promise you probably don't. Promise you probably don't. I feel like when we talk about Christ and Christ crucified, there have been only like certain environments where Christ and Christ crucified is explained. And I don't have, uh, I. I think there could be a hindrance and sometimes the way we talk about Christ and Christ crucified, because in the ways I've personally seen it, and I could be biased, I can acknowledge that is mostly in evangelical spaces that are highly charismatic and filled with emotionalism. And I'm not against charismatic and evangelical spaces. Malik and I love them. We go to gatherings, we hang out. We were even charismatic and evangelical in a lot of spaces. But I think sometimes where the lines could get a little blurry is if we speak about Christ crucified from a place that is purely emotional and not relational, without all the sappy tears and backed up in theology and a fresh revelation of like, oh, like this is hitting my heart. Not just so, like tears can come out of my eyes, but so, like, it leaves an imprint. So no matter what trial or circumstance I go through, I'm not going to be waved or moved. And I think there needs to be a sit down, honest conversation of what does the blood of Christ mean for us. And there is an authority to the blood of Jesus. The blood still works. The cross and Christ crucified happened 2000 years ago. And it says that for God so loved the world. For God in his love. Break down the verse. For God so loved. That's the first part. For God so loved, he had so much compassion in his heart. Even the Old Testament says that he is compassionate, slow to anger and abounding love. Those are the three characteristics that's repetitive throughout the entirety of the Old Testament. So because of God's love was fueled in him sending his Son for what? For him to die on the cross for our sins. Not just 70% of them, not just 20% of them, all of them. I need you to get this. Jesus didn't just die for a few of your sins. He died for all of them. I don't care what the worst thing you did. I don't care what it is, I don't care what is the worst thing you've ever done. Jesus died for the worst of the worst. All of it. Not 10%, not 30, 100. Because when Jesus was crucified on that cross and nails were being, were being hammered into his hands and feet, he was thinking about the worst thing you did. He was thinking about the worst thing you did. Like, let that actually hit your heart for a moment. So the next time you feel in shame and guilt and God should get rid of me and I don't know why. He loves me and he's never gonna forgive me. Remember that there is a cross that testifies and there's blood that is speaking. And that blood was needed one time, one time for eternity, one time 2,000 years ago. And that same man that was bloodied on a cross died, was buried and resurrected. And now he sits on the right hand of the Father, full of glory. Still, by the way, wounded Jesus is sitting on the right hand of the Father, still pierced. His marks did not disappear. The moment he was resurrected and he went back to the disciples, He. He still had marks in his hands, feet inside. Jesus Christ is the high priest who has bled out on the entirety of humanity for us to boast in him. Jesus is not a mythical creature. He is not fake. Even atheist believes that he is real. Jesus is real. He has died, he has resurrected, he has defeated death. He. He has taken the keys from hell and he has given all ownership of God's children back to him. All if we just believe in him, that's it. And the gospel, which is the four. Well, the Gospel is basically the testament of Jesus's life which is shown in the four books of quote unquote, the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This is the first four books, the New Testament. And it shows four different perspectives of how Jesus walked the earthly life. We see how he healed the sick and made blind eyes open and how he ate with disciples and how he walked and even his sermons and even the death, burial and resurrection. We see everything of Jesus's life throughout the testament of the four gospels. And many of us have stuck around that. The idea that the Gospel is just a name, but not necessarily a person. Jesus is the salvation of all of us. Jesus is the Gospel. The Gospel is Jesus. The Gospel is the greatest news Ever alive. And again for those who are too safe, they're like, oh, yeah, I know this. I heard this in church. You need to hear it again. You need to hear it each and every single day. And I don't care until you get sick of it. Like, we can't be sick of the cross and we can't just make it look normal. Like, there's. Okay, this is. This is like a very human part of me that's coming out right now. But it's like, it's true. And I gotta say it. It's like there's people making, like, clothing brands who don't even love God like that, and they're using the cross as an image. And it's like, no, no, no. Like, my Lord and Savior that you're gonna bow down to one day died on that. Like, there's just so much slight mockery. This isn't normal. The cross isn't normal. It's miraculous. But put some freaking respect on Jesus, it's miraculous. It's not used for your clothing brand. It's not used for your jewelry brand. The cross is the place where Jesus Christ was pinned to die for you and I. And whether if you like it or not, you're going to bow down one set one day. Because every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. So even if you don't respect it, you will one day. You will. You will respect the cross one day. I just want to urge you right now, and you may not like me, and that's totally okay. Like, that's fine. Like, sometimes to lead an orchestra, you have to turn your back against the audience. Like, I don't care if you don't like me right now. You have to know that you can't play games with God like that. And this is the time not to play games. We are entering the last days. We cannot play with Christ crucified. We cannot use them as an aesthetic. We cannot just think that this is an image. And the blood meant nothing and everything. And the Gospels basically have shown us how to walk the Christian life. Jesus has imitated so many things. Jesus has shown us that he is Lord, that he is human. He is fully man and fully God. The deity of God dwelt bodily meaning. That's Colossians 2:9, meaning that the entirety of God's essence dwelt in the image of Jesus. That's nuts to think about. I could tell you what, the Gospel is basically in, like, a bite size form. One of my best friends, Amani, stayed with Malik, and I When was that? In November? Because it was around her birthday. It was first week of November. Her birthday's November 2nd. And she came over and Imani, that girl was in my wedding. You guys saw her in the promo. She is an on fire woman of God, that girl, she's been everywhere. I'm like, dude, she basically lives in Africa. She's a missionary, but she's a part of a movement called Circuit Riders out in OC And I have made some of my bestest friends actually a part of Circuit Writers in California. Love y' all circuit Writers so much. But she came and stayed with us in Orlando around her birthday. And a few of her mission friends, they're part of this group called Black Voices, where they evangelize and they go to black campuses all over the United States and preach the gospel. And they actually taught us a tool, an evangelism tool that I never heard of, which is basically the gospel in a nutshell. You can preach this to your best friend, to your neighbor, a person at the gym, your professor. I don't care who it is. But they broke this down. I was like, wow, this is actually, like, so genius. I'd never heard of it. And it's the five finger gospel, apparently. This is incredibly fundamental. And I just heard of it. But you know what? We gonna run with it. And it puts the gospel in a nutshell. And the first one is, is that God loves you. We already said it in the beginning of this podcast. For God so loved the world, he gave his one and only son fueled from God's love. God gave. He gave a gift. And that gift is Jesus. And we all sin. That's the second point, right? We all sin. You sin, babe. I've seen you. I've seen you. You see me. We sin. We all sin. Like, you just don't stop sinning. That's the condition of the world. That's the condition to flawed human nature. We all sin. Every single one of us. And none of us is better than the other. We are all sinners. All of us are sinners. Even Isaiah 6. I love when Isaiah approaches the throne of God and he says, not only do I feel the weight of my own sin, or it's not even just my sin, but the sin of those around me. Like, everybody is a sinner. Point blank, period. So God loves you. We're all sinners. So you're not alone. We're all in this together. Curly Pop. Third one sin leads to death. The wages of sin is death. Sin has a price. This is why in The Old Testament, you've seen so many animals get slaughtered. The way that they did is because there is a price that needs to be paid with debt. The moment that Adam and Eve had disrespected, had disobeyed the Lord in the Garden of Eden, and when God gave them the commandment to not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they actively disobeyed against God's commandment, which is crazy. Caleb actually pointed this out on an Instagram post. I was like, wow, I never even thought of that. And it's like you realize that Adam and Eve, they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and they ate it when they could have just like, gone God and been like, yo, like, there's a serpent there. You're trying to have us eat the fruit. Like, it's nuts. It's crazy. But knowing that the moment that they ate from that fruit, it caused division between the human race and between God. And all the way up until we see Jesus in the New Testament, we see humans trying to earn back their place with God, which is why Jesus was sent as the second Adam to be the final atonement of sins. And even atonement isn't just a new testimonial term. It's based in the Old Testament. Even there is a day of atonement where basically once a year. Well, hold on, I gotta, like, go really far back if we're really going to get the entirety of this is. God's presence was always intended to rest with humans. In the very beginning, God walked with Adam and Eve. He was with Adam and Eve. They were in Eden. That's it. I don't. I don't have to add anymore. I was trying to make that, like, more poetic and, like, beautiful. That's beautiful. Like, he was with them. And then the moment that sin came into place, they separated. And so God's presence, being consecrated and holy, needed to be protected. And this is what. Where the Ark of the Covenant comes from. The Ark of the Covenant contained the Ten Commandments. It contained manna, which is what sustained the Israelites from their journey from Egypt to Canaan, which was the promised land. And then it contained Aaron's butted. What the heck was that? A rod. A rod which basically signified the high priestly hood. And in that Ark of the covenant resembled God's presence. And so God's presence needed to be protected. So it resided in a tabernacle. And so the Day of atonement, which is where we're going to is where the high priest would go into the Holy of Holies, which is the innermost place of God, where the Ark of the Covenant is. And would intercede on the behalf of God's people and would sacrifice. Was it a goat or a lamb? It was a goat. On the behalf of everybody in that city. And then would also send out another goat out into the wilderness. So the sins left the people. And so that had happened every single year. Every single year. But the moment that Jesus Christ came, he was the final atonement. Like Jesus wasn't just a man who went on a cross and died for his sins. His blood actually stopped a chain reaction that us humans were trying to make up for a place that we didn't have with God. Jesus ended it all. Amen. So God loves you. We all sin. Sin leads to death. And then Jesus paid the price. That's everything I just said. Wow. I like said the fourth point. Jesus paid the price. He paid the price on the cross. The Bible says that we were held ransom, meaning that there was a price that needed to be paid. God was like, give me my money. Like there needs to be something that happens. And it's because we disobeyed God. And how great of God that he sent the price, that he sent his one and only son. And his son is not only just human, but he's fully God. God sent Jesus in the image of himself because the Bible says that Jesus is the gate to the image of the Father. Y' all peep, that is nuts to think about. Because people think. People think Jesus is good cop and God is bad copy. Let me corrupt your bad theology right here. People look at Jesus and they're like, he's good God. I love him so much. He's so kind and gentle and lowly. And God in the Old Testament was so mean and wrathful. No, no, no. The Bible says that Jesus was sent as the gate to the father. Colossians 2, 9 says that the full deity of God dwelt bodily, meaning that the entire essence of God dwelt bodily in human form. In Jesus Christ. Jesus. Jesus is. And don't get it twisted and don't disrespect him. Jesus is fully God and fully man. Fully God, meaning he fully represented the image of the Father. Which is why Jesus said that I have came. Not to erase any stroke of a pen or to add on to anything, but to. But to fulfill the law. So when Jesus prayed the price. The last part, we still have five finger Gospel. I can't believe it is to receive the gift. And the gift peep. The word gift is I'm giving you something and you're gonna take it. Eat. Like, I got you something that I think you're really gonna like. And like, I don't think I've ever had anybody give a gift back to me. That would be nuts. Like, imagine me giving you something for Christmas. And it's like, imagine me giving you the best thing for Christmas. I'm like, babe, I. I put my heart, my soul, my intentionality into all of this. And then you open your line, I don't want this. That actually happens to some people here on this earth. But Jesus is the greatest gift. Not only we just get on Christmas, but every single day for the rest of our lives. So receiving the gr. The gift comes from a place of knowing that God loves us. We all sin. Sin leads to death. Jesus paid the price, and receiving the gift is just receiving salvation. So that was just kind of like, what is the gospel in a nutshell is that. I kind of got a little side checked, but I. I think that was helpful. I think that was good. Um, I love Romans 5, 8. It's like super fundamental verse, but. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This is a verse that we hear so much, much throughout church. And we're like, yep, that's a great verse. Christ died for us. No, but God demonstrates his own love. Like, Jesus is the love note of God's heart. While we were still sinners, while we still openly disrespected God, while we were still confused and incarcerated by fear and chained and whatever it may be, just in sin, while we were still sinners. Whatever your worst thing is, keep in mind, in the middle of that, think about the worst thing you did right now. In the middle of that, God still demonstrates his love. Through who? Through Jesus Christ. It's up to us to just receive the gift. It's up to us to receive the gift. I want to tackle this topic of crucifying, the idea of a better gospel. Let me tell you this, like the Bible and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the best that it gets. We gotta not get to a point where we're so burdened by life, to where it's like, man, I need more of Jesus's blood. Like, I just need more than that. There is no other best thing. Like Jesus in Christ, crucified is the best thing. There's no greater story. There's no greater Savior. There's no greater Lord. There. There's no greater Savior. Like Jesus is Jesus. It's Christ and him crucified. Your prayers do not outperform Jesus. Sometimes we'll rely on our prayer life to outperform what Jesus did on that cross. Our church attendance does not outperform Jesus. Christian influencers and podcasts don't replace the story of Jesus. Like, the gospel does not get better than this. Like, we can't reach and try to grasp for a better gospel. Like, this is the best thing. It is the best thing. It's the best thing. I can't argue more with that. It's the best thing. How much you serve does not outperform how great he is. That's it. Jesus is Lord, and he's Lord whether if you like it or not. I don't care if you know Jesus, if you love him, if you don't love him, if you're constantly or in the process of deconstructing. If you're deconstructing right now and you're like, man, I just don't believe in him. You will one day. Every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord. Okay, you guys, don't get it twisted. And my question is, it's rhetorical. Of course it's rhetorical. I can't hear you guys. Is the gospel enough for you? Is it enough? I think it could be a simple question, but it's needed because sometimes it feels like it's not. Like, I actually really want to acknowledge that there are some things that we go through in the human life that feels so dang unbearable. Jesus, I think those are actually the times where I find myself resting in the neediness of Christ is when I'm like, oh, man, this junk sucks. And, like, I actually don't know how to do this on my own. And this feels really scary and crazy. And, you know, this isn't easy. And I think in a nutshell, Jesus never promised an easy life. He promised an easy yoke. And a yoke still is something. And it gets hard. It gets hard. Like, that's just life, right? And I think it's important to ask that question, is the gospel enough for me, when I see Christ, him crucified, when I look at him, and not even just I shared about this on the podcast a little while ago, but, like, actually knowing what happened in the crucifixion, we see very pretty images of Jesus crucified. He's just on. We see, like, the Michelangelo and the Leonardo decap. I'm off. Da Vinci. Oh, my Gosh, I was like, no, no, no, no, no. I'm thinking of submarine, Titanic. Oh my gosh, I'm so bad. But we see, we see the pictures of Jesus like this. It was not elegant. The cross was messy. The cross was so messy. Jesus not only wore a crown of thorns, it was pierced in his hands and feet and in his side. But you have to understand, Jesus was so entirely whipped that you could see the bones of his back, his skin and flesh open. They cut off his genitalia. They were casting lots for his clothes right below in mockery. The same people who cried out for him, pinned him up on that cross. This was a tragedy. This was a tragedy. And if we read the gospel, so entitled. We read it so entitled, because we know the ending. We know what happens. Like, Jesus gets on the cross, he dies. But like, we know he's gonna rise and like, it's gonna be great. And my sins are atoned for. And like, that's so amazing. And it's like during that time, those people didn't know he's gonna come back or not. Why do you think Peter denied him three times? Why do you think Thomas doubted when Jesus came, he was like, here's my hands. Like, they did not know. This wasn't just an event, this was history. Miraculous history, may I add. So is the gospel enough for you? And the dangers of untrue gospel? Which what is an untrue gospel? Let me just tell you real straight. The untrue gospel is very popular right now. It's everything that doesn't talk about Jesus, but they swear Jesus is in it. We see this at a lot of different churches, congregations, and even people on social media. You'll say a lot of things that sound like Jesus. But when I actually first John for you and I test everything by scripture, it's not filled with the spirit, it's filled with entitlement, it's filled with judgment, it's filled with human made wisdom. It's not filled with the scriptures, it's not filled with the presence of God. And untrue gospel is anything that's preached outside of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This looks like preaching apart from Jesus, which is what we see all the time. This looks like church churches who abuse God's grace and stay incarcerated by their own lukewarmness. This looks like churches who weaponize the pulpit. This looks like churches and people who preach from a place of emotionalism. This looks like churches who focus solely on demonology and generational curses but never talk about Jesus. That's untrue gospel. Anything that lacks the revelation of Christ and him crucified. The, the resurrect, the, the death, the burial and the resurrection. If you miss those things, you're cooked. You're cooked, bucko. You're not on a true gospel. It's untrue gospel that's missing the entirety of its source. It's the blood of the lamb. It's the blood of the lamb. Who is Jesus? Jesus died for me and my sins. If you were to ask anybody, who is Jesus? What does he mean to you? Well, Jesus is my Lord, he's my Savior. He died for my sins. Yes, Jesus is Lord. Jesus is man. He's fully God, fully man. Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is the gate, the very essence of the Father. We talked about this. Jesus is the offer and the offering. Let me drink my water because I'm about to get hyped. Jesus is the offer and the offering. Malik and I have been reading the Bible front to back and I love the Old Testament. I'm actually huge Old Testament junkie. I love it. I love it so much. It's so good. What I love most about the Old Testament is how much it mirrors the image of Jesus. And one of the first things I noticed this time around when we read reread the the Bible for its entirety again was about the high priest and Jesus being the offering, the offering. And the only other time we see that is Mechizadek. And he was the only prophet and priest, meaning that he communicated God's word and he simultaneously was offering sacrifices and, etc and so he was operating in a priesthood that no one else touched until Jesus came. And Jesus being the offer and the offering high priest would go into the holy of holies and even there would be even in the book of Leviticus you could read all about animal sacrifices. I think it's incredibly entertaining. But you know, if you, if you just starting out, that's probably not the best place you'd probably go to. Like the Gospels and then, you know, read the New Testament, then jump over there. I don't really recommend that for the first read. You're going to be like, and Abraham split two doves in half and walked through them. And then Zipporah cut off Moses's foreskin and then laid it at his feet and worshiped him. Like this is kind of gross. Like it's probably not a great first read. But like once you understand who Jesus is, then you go back and you're like, this is actually like really awesome. High Priest chiseled egg. There we go. Anyways, it's awesome because high priest would sacrifice animals on the behalf of those who have sinned, right? Which was basically the upkeeping of the atonement. This pleasing. The pleasing aroma that would be very pleasing unto the Lord because it was the constant atonement for the people's sins that they have committed against God. And when it says that Jesus is the offer in the offering, the Bible says that he had interceded for God's people by literally entering God's throne, bloodied himself. He didn't bring an animal with him. He was the lamb that was slain. He is the offer in the offering. Jesus is risen. He is alive. And he is sitting on a throne of glory on the right hand of the Father. And Jesus is the Word, the living communication of God's heart. But you want to know what Jesus also is? Jesus was mocked. Jesus was tested. Oh, and by Satan. Face to face by the way. Jesus was wronged by loved ones. He was betrayed by his own community. His own hometown did not rock with him. Jesus was betrayed by friends. Jesus wept. And Jesus is gentle and lowly. Where's my bee blade at? I can't believe I kept it over here. This entirety of the time, I want to read from Hebrews 1, which is crazy. We were talking about this the other day, Malik. Hebrews 1:1:4. Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets. But in these last days, he has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things. Through him, who also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature. And he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. Powerful, powerful scripture. The Greek word for exact representation, AKA imprint is character, which is literally exact imprint. Like the. I guess the cinnamon. Cinnamon. Synonym to. This is like a fingerprint. If I were to put my fingerprint on a thing of clay, that is exactly what Jesus is to God. It's God's imprint. It's God's fingertip. It's his fingerprint. Jesus is in exact essence in nature as God. That's nuts to think about. Like a stamp pressed into wax, right? This is not a resemblance. This is exact essence. And I think some people are like, oh, Jesus is like God. No, no, no. He Is God. He is God. The exact imprint. The exact, exact, exact, exact imprint as the Lord. It's powerful. It's beautiful. It's crazy to think about who. Jesus. Come running out of this water. I need to be filled, Lord. Fill me with your water. Who? Jesus. Talks about the cross a little bit. Colossians 2:14 says, Having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against and condemned us, he has taken him away. Nailing it to a cross. That's nuts, you guys. The crop shapes the Christian life, and it imitates love and judgment being fully displayed. Having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us, he took it away. Nailing it to a cross. We're going to do a little exercise at home that I think is going to be very, very beneficial. Wherever you're at, close your eyes for a moment. Whatever you're struggling with right now, whatever you're struggling with, I want you to imagine this. It's going to heal you. It's going to help you, I promise. I want you to write down the worst thing you've ever done, your greatest sin, on a little, like, sticky note. Like, just see it in your mind. Write it down on a sticky note. And I want you to place that sticky note on the hands of Christ, on the crucified cross. He's not pierced yet. His hand is open. Place that note, your worst sin, on his hand, and right now I need you to watch that nail go through his hand in your sin with it. He died for that. He died for that. It's as simple as seeing that and never forgetting that. And we don't deserve it, by the way. He's just good. He's just good. Ephesians 2, 14, 18. For He Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments, expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two. So making peace, it might reconcile us both to. To the God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you, you who are far off, and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one spirit to the Father. It's powerful. Every person far and wide, close and far away. We have access to the Father through one spirit. It's powerful. Reconciliation comes through the cross. And Jesus died again. 100 for your sins. The blood of Jesus is one of the things that Malik and I have really meditated on the past few months and it has just meditating on the blood of Jesus has been extremely pivotal to our walk with the Lord. And again, it's not like these things weren't happening. It's just that there's been a urgency to think about it more, just to just think about Jesus more, instead of topics that you know is about Jesus but lacks Jesus. We've already talked about that. I love Hebrews 12:24 because it says to Jesus, the meteor of a new covenant. And the sprinkled blood of Jesus speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. We're getting a sprinkle of Jesus's blood versus an entire body filled with blood. The blood of Abel. Cain and Abel is a story in the beginning of the Old Testament, which is found in Genesis chapter four. And what had happened is it's actually nuts. It's like a murder story, like on page three. Like, how do we get here? Like, dang, that was a quick turnaround. And basically Cain was jealous of his brother and he had killed Abel. And it said that Abel's blood had cried out from the ground. And. And it was a very devastating story. So what says that Jesus's sprinkled blood speaks a better word than the blood of evil? It speaks over every generational curse, every worst thing that could happen to you. Any, any sin, any indebtedness. Christ's blood speaks a better word. And it redeems. It redeems. It fully redeems over every sin, no matter the moral depth, over every generational occurrence, over every instance, circumstance, trial, you name it. The blood of Jesus speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. I read this the other day while I was Bible reading in the morning. And it's Hebrews 9, 11, 15. Oh, it's so good. But when Christ appeared as the high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is not of his, not of this creation, he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves, but by the means of his own blood, the thus securing an eternal redemption. This is what I was talking about earlier. That Jesus showed up to God's throne not with the Lamb, he showed up with himself, bloodied for the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh. How much more but the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spiritual offered Himself without blemish to God pure, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Peep that. How much more would the blood of Jesus, who through the eternal spirit, offered himself without a blemish to God as unblemished lamb, to what? To purify our conscience from dead works? Hebrews9 is saying right here that that intercession that Jesus made on the behalf of us cleansed our conscience from what dead works to serve the living God Jesus is the offer in the offering. That is so crazy. It's so crazy. In the Old Testament, high priests wear this thing called the ephod. And what an ephod is, is it's basically a vest that have 12. I almost said crystals. That's nice. But it's like kind of. They're like, why can't I think of it? Not rocks. What is that? Emblems. Emblems. There's a better word for it. Stones. Stones. It's stones. I was like, not crystals. Not rocks. Stones. That sounds respectable. But basically, high priests were this garment called the ephod, which is a vest, where there were 12 stones across the high priest's chest. And each stone represented a tribe of Judah or non tribe of Judah, a tribe of Israel. So you have the. You have the Benjamin, you have the people of Judah, you have the Levites, you have so many. All 12. I'm not going to name all 12. I almost did, and then I was like, why would I do that? It's like really crazy. I do know all of them. Oh, now I have to do it. No, no. I don't know. I don't know. I don't. Okay. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I like immediately wins a competition mode for some reason, like Bible trivia. Anyways, the high priest would carry the intercession on the inside of the holy of holies on the behalf of the people. So knowing that when it says that Jesus is the ultimate high priest, it says that he carried the intercession of us onto the throne of glory, knowing that Jesus had us in mind the entirety while he was up on that cross. And as the ultimate high priest, when he approached the throne of glory, which we could come to him in confidence, knowing that our sin has been paid for by the bloodied and crucified Lamb, which is Jesus Christ. Right? The blood cleanses our consciousness from acts that lead to death. That is nuts to think about. Hebrews 10:19 says, Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the most holy place by the blood of Jesus. I think the revelation of the blood of Jesus, I think, oh, that's so good. That's actually so good. That's so good. So I'd even say it. I just. I just feel a downloading in my brain right now. That's so good to think about that. There was a confidence that we had to approach God, God's glory and grace when we fully take in the blood of Jesus Christ. When I have a full rep, when I have a full world, worldview and perspective of Christ, him crucified in the blood of Jesus, that fuels me to approach the throne of God's grace confident. That's huge. That's huge. Why is that huge? A lot of us get scared asking God for things. A lot of us will hide apart from him, will not go up to him or ask him, or take comfort in Him. But the blood of Jesus prompts us a confidence to pursue him, to enter the throne room. Therefore, brothers and sisters, in accordance to Hebrews 9, in accordance to Hebrews 10, 19. Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the most holy place, we have confidence to enter the most holy place. Why? Because of the blood of Jesus. When I actually know the blood of Jesus, when I actually know Jesus, I am able to approach God in confidence. So if you're like, man, like, I just feel like I'm so ashamed. I'm guilty. I don't know how to talk to God about this. I would encourage you and ask you the question, have you allowed the blood of Jesus to convict you and shape your perspective? Because that perspective, that perspective will push you into confidence of entering God's glory. The most holy place. The most holy place. So the blood of Jesus Christ crucified, the cross, all these things, what does that mean for me? Salvation is a gift. God has sent His Son as a gift to the earth, right? So that we may receive him, receive the message of the gospel. That's really it. If you don't know the Lord for who he actually is, you won't actually know what he's saying. And I think this is something that I've echoed, the entirety of this podcast is, we think we know who Jesus is. No, no, no. If you don't know the Lord Jesus for who he actually is, you won't know what he's actually saying. So some of you might say and proclaim over yourselves, I'm a royal priesthood. But because you don't know what that means, you'll be shocked when there's a crown of thorns and a purple robe waiting for you, Jesus was royal. He's the King of kings, the Lord of lords. And when they clothed him with a crown and with a robe, it was on a cross. So we have all these people who are like, I'm a royal priesthood. And you think your life is lavish with gold Chanel and Louis Vuitton. And for some people, it might. And that's okay. I'm not judging your expenses. What I am setting, though, is a real. Is a realistic expectation. Also, let me add this. I'm being incredibly hypocritical because I'm wearing fake Chanel earrings. When I said that, before anybody clocks me, I know the Internet, I know they'd be like, emmy, I see your ear right now. I see it. And you're wearing Chanel. It's fake. It's fake. And I will say that it was $20 in that part. It. Winter park, that little store. Remember, babe, it don't even matter. But I just had to clock that before somebody clocks me. Yeah. You know, sometimes you gotta be your biggest. Yeah, let me know. Just let me know. It's fake. Maybe I didn't need to say that. What was I saying? I was rolling and then I was like, bro. What? Oh, my gosh. Okay. Yeah, about the royal priesthood thing. So some of you would be like, I'm a royal priesthood. And then think that comes through lavishments of life. So you're gonna have the Lamborghini and you're gonna have the $8 million home, and God's gonna fuel the business idea. Here's the thing. All of those things are possible. I'm not saying that if you're a Christian, you can't have a Lamborghini or you can't have a multi million dollar business. What I am saying is that we're mixing biblical terms with our expectations of what we think success is. And when we hear I'm a royal priesthood, when we see Jesus taking on the embodiment of a royal priesthood, it was not in a Lamborghini. It was not even in a garment that was equating to the lavishments that Solomon had. Jesus wasn't. Jesus wasn't the most luxurious person as far as materialism. When Jesus wore the garments of royalty, it was on that cross with the crown of thorns in a purple robe which mocked him, by the way, Heaven mo heaven while while earth mocked him, heaven affirmed him. And you don't think. You're not going to be misunderstood. That's why I'm saying if you don't know the Lord Jesus for who he actually is. You won't get what he's saying. You won't get it. You won't get it. People say, I know I'm anointed. I know God has anointed me. Don't confuse anointed for talent. Don't confuse it, because anointing comes with a cup of suffering. Y' all not ready for that. Right after Mary had washed Jesus's feet with oil, with the smelling of a perfect aroma of perfume, the fragrance. Fragrance which filled the entire room, by the way. Jesus had to drink a cup of suffering Right after. Y' all want an anointing so bad, but don't want to drink from a cup of. If you don't know who the Lord actually is, you don't know what he's actually saying. I'm a royal, but I'm a royal priesthood. God's going to give me everything I ask for. He's going to clothe me in riches. And it might be on a bloody cross, just like how he was dressed. So know what he's actually saying, and you'll know what he actually means. Know who he actually is, and you'll know what he's actually saying. And when you know what he's actually saying, you know what he actually means. And I really just want to give a moment for those who want to commit their lives to the Lord. If you want to commit to your life, your life to the Lord, you never heard of Jesus, and you're like, man, I need Him, I want Him. And even to those who need to rededicate their lives to Jesus, I want to give you an opportunity to say yes to the Lord that it is not too late. Salvation does not need to happen anywhere pretty. It doesn't need to happen during a church service. It. When I found Jesus and when I said yes to him, I was in my neighbor's mother's bedroom floor and I said yes to Him, I knew he is real. If God is speaking to you right now, I want you to say yes to him. If it's on your heart, if you're like, the Lord is with me right now. I believe in Jesus, and he's speaking directly to me. You have the opportunity to say yes to him right now. Right now. And to those who feel like they haven't seen Jesus for who they actually are, for who he actually is, I want to encourage you to rededicate your life back to him. Rededicate your life back to Him. Amen. So let's pray. And then I'm going to give an application, and we're going to close out. But to those who want to commit their lives to Jesus and to those who don't pray for these people because they need to be prayed for. Lord, I pray for every woman and man on the other side of the screen that has made the choice to accept you as Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior. Lord, I ask that you make a deposit on the inside of them, of your spirit, the Holy Spirit you get to manifest on the inside of them. And that, Lord, you guide them and teach them that, Lord, the image of Christ crucified is at the forefront of their minds and that they walk in peace, that they understand that their shame and guilt and sin has been wiped away by the blood of Jesus Christ. And he wipes the tear of every eye. I thank you, Lord, that you are faithful, that your goodness and mercy follows us. And I thank you that 1st Thessalonians 5, 9 says that you have not destined us for wrath, but you have destined us for salvation in Jesus Christ. I thank you that this moment, right now is destined for this person to know Jesus. Bring them to your presence, Lord. Bring them to your presence, Jesus. In Jesus name, Amen. And. Oh, I should have done, like, a confession of faith. I didn't even think about that. I still can. It's true. Yeah. Why would I not do that? For those who said yes to Jesus, I just want to lead you through a confession of faith. So I believe you're gonna repeat after me. Okay, let's get that clear. So I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, birthed of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit, that he was sent to Calvary to die for my sins. I believe in the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And I make him my savior of my life. In Jesus name, Amen. Come on. And then also, dang, I didn't walk y' all through this either. It's been eight months. You guys, like, let me chill. I haven't ministered in a long time. Also, I. I don't have to walk you through this, but I would encourage you to do it on your own time. Like, Positive Video right now. If you have to repent, repent, repent. What it is, is I'm turning away from the world. I'm saying sorry for all the things I've done, Lord, to disrespect you. And it's keeping your eyes on him and leaving everything else behind. Repent for your unforgiveness. Repent for bitterness. I don't know if it's smoking, drinking, cursing, how bad of a friend you are. All of us need to repent each and every single day. Take a moment to repent. And my three applications for y' all as we go is Number one. The Holy Spirit is the greatest teacher about Jesus. When you read the scriptures, ask the Holy Spirit to help you. That's my challenge. I'm leaving with you guys here today. When you're reading the scriptures about Jesus and anything throughout the entirety of your Bible, ask the Holy Spirit to hover that scripture for him to reveal Jesus to you. The Holy Spirit is obsessed with revealing Jesus. Number two. As you read, look for Jesus in every scripture. Old and new, old and new. You look out through the entirety of the old passages and the Old Testament all testifies about Jesus. Look for him. Look for him. Look for him. Three. Come to me. Make it your mission to return to Him. Every day Jesus has come to me and all those who come to me. I will give them rest. Come to him each and every single day. It's a return. It's a return. It's a life filled with repentance. And you guys, I'm so excited that you guys turn in Tuned into the first episode of season four and save not soft. It has been such a crazy ride.

You get early access to videos, to podcast episodes behind the scenes. I think. I don't know if we're doing monthly. I'm pretty sure we're doing monthly zoom calls as well. So really awesome stuff for you guys to stick around to the Patreon and. Yeah, that's really it. And then I probably. No, I don't think I would have announced it by then. There's another thing on the way, but I love you guys so much and the Lord loves you even more. Love you guys. See you. Bye.
Host: Emy Moore
Episode: Season 4, Episode 1
Date: February 10, 2026
In the highly anticipated return of "Saved Not Soft" after an eight-month sabbatical, Emy Moore (now Emy Moore Brookings) kicks off Season 4 with a passionate, unfiltered dive into the core of Christian faith: the power and ongoing relevance of the blood of Jesus. Emy details life updates, lessons from marriage, and emphasizes a bold vision for the podcast’s new direction—unapologetically centering every episode on the Good News of Christ crucified. Through candid teaching, vivid storytelling, and heartfelt prayer, Emy challenges listeners to reject superficial Christianity and return to the foundation of biblical truth and intimate relationship with Jesus.
This episode is a clear rallying cry: at the heart of Christianity is a bloody, costly, miraculous cross and an ever-living Savior. Emy’s honest, relatable delivery invites both seasoned believers and curious seekers to discard shallow faith and rediscover the power in the blood of Jesus—a message that’s as relevant in 2026 as it was 2,000 years ago.
Key action:
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus afresh, recognize where you need His blood most, and set your eyes on Christ and Christ crucified every single day.
