Summary

Jase, Al, and Zach connect recent headlines about the Minnesota daycare fraud scheme to a deeper biblical truth: life built outside God’s wisdom always collapses into dust. Drawing from Proverbs and real-world scandals, the guys dive into how deception thrives in darkness but never survives the light of truth or God’s design for human flourishing. Jase reveals the shocking move he made when his daughter Mia brought home her first boyfriend—and how it traces back to the time he himself was threatened with death just for walking through a girlfriend’s front door. In this episode: Proverbs 8; Proverbs 14, verse 4; Proverbs 21, verses 6, 9, 19, and 30; Proverbs 22, verses 6 and 29; Proverbs 30, verses 15–16, 18–19, and 24–28; Colossians 3, verse 23; James 1, verses 13–15; James 3, verses 13–18; 1 John 3, verse 8; Hebrews 12, verses 26–28; Genesis 1, verse 1; Genesis 2, verses 15–17; Genesis 3, verses 1–7 “Unashamed” Episode 1246 is sponsored by: https://ruffgreens.com — Get a FREE Jumpstart Trial Bag for your dog today when you use promo code Unashamed! http://fastgrowingtrees.com/unashamed — Get 20% off your next purchase with code UNASHAMED at checkout! http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ — Sign up now for free, and join the Unashamed hosts every Friday for Unashamed Academy Powered by Hillsdale College Listen to Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, or anywhere you get podcasts.
