Summary

Segment 1:

• Free evangelism tool alert: “Play the Man” challenges young men to grow up spiritually.

• Video games and porn will keep you weak, distracted, and stuck in immaturity.

• Want to fulfill your God-given purpose? Put away childish distractions and step up.

Segment 2:

• Genuine preaching fuels your mind with God’s truth and beauty, not just feelings.

• Does your pastor preach so that you leave knowing “God reigns”?

• If the supremacy of God isn’t clear in sermons, something vital is missing.

Segment 3:

• Jonathan Edwards refused to manipulate emotions; he aimed for real heart change.

• His “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” still challenges us today.

• Are your sermons about pleasing crowds or proclaiming God’s serious truths?

Segment 4:

• You’re the host: would your sermon pass Jonathan Edwards’ 10-point test?

• Great preaching stirs holy affections, saturates with Scripture, and calls for a response.

• Real preaching probes the heart, pleads for action, and exalts God above all.
