Summary

Segment 1: • Cultural Sloth: Society makes it easy to avoid hard work—how are we contributing? • Parenting Alert: Could your child’s laziness stem from never having to work for what they need? • Faith and Work: “If anyone doesn’t provide for their family, they’ve denied the faith.” Segment 2: • Before the ‘I Do’: Premarital intimacy and unresolved baggage wreck marriages before they begin. • Happiness Isn’t the Goal: Brad Bigney asks, “What if marriage is meant to make us holy, not happy?” • Challenge for GenZ: Avoid the "it must make me happy" mindset—study wisdom from older generations. Segment 3: • Love the Lord First: Dating isn’t about finding “the one”; it’s about deepening your love for God. • Jesus’ Example: From Philippians 2 to Matthew 18, Jesus shows how to live humbly and forgive others. • Forgiving Your Spouse: How Jesus’ teachings guide the hardest conversations in marriage. Segment 4: • Third Wave Warnings: A new danger looms for biblical counseling—are we equipping all believers for ministry? • Consumerism Alert: Christmas shouldn’t be about deals or distractions—how much time are we soaking in the Savior? • Priesthood of Believers: Biblical counseling is for everyone, not just professionals. Let's reclaim this calling. ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.
