Summary

Wait a minute — that’s not Todd! Today on Wretched Radio, Fortis Institute Fellow and Way of Manhood host Dr. Adam Tyson explores how seeing God’s holiness exposes our sin, fuels worship, transforms our speech, and empowers us to forgive.



Segment 1



• Seeing God’s holiness exposes your sin and demands a response—repent or reject.



• Isaiah’s vision shows God’s majesty and your unworthiness: “Woe is me… I am a man of unclean lips.”



• Real encounters with God lead to humility, repentance, and mission: “Here am I, send me.”



Segment 2



• Psalm 84 reveals that pursuing God’s presence fuels passion and endurance, even through dry seasons.



• Like sparrows finding rest at the altar, your soul finds peace near God.



• “Better is one day in Your courts…”—God’s presence is better than anything this world offers.



Segment 3



• James 3 warns: your tongue controls your life like a rudder on a ship or a spark that ignites a wildfire.



• No one can tame the tongue—except Christ working through a changed heart.



• If God has cleansed you, your words should now build up, not destroy.



Segment 4



• Jesus’ parable reminds us: forgiven sinners forgive others—no exceptions.



• You’ve been forgiven an $8 billion debt; refusing to forgive a $30,000 offense shows an unforgiving heart.



• Release bitterness and extend mercy—not because it’s easy, but because you’ve been forgiven much.

My name is Adam Tyson, a fellow at Fortis Institute, and today I am a guest hosting for Todd.

0:43.8

And I want to talk to you today about God.

0:46.6

In fact, I want to talk to you specifically about what happens when you see God.

0:52.7

Have you ever seen God?

0:57.4

I mean, have you ever really seen God? You know,

1:03.8

growing up in a church in America, you see Jesus. And sometimes I remember as I was a kid growing up,

1:09.5

he would look like a white man, kind of looking out into the distance with brown hair and blue eyes.

1:13.3

And then I went on a mission trip to Jamaica. And when I was in Jamaica, I saw some pictures of Jesus that looked a little bit different. He was actually a black

rooms, they had Jesus looking kind of like a yellow man.

1:29.8

So the question is, have you ever really seen Jesus?

1:33.5

I mean, what does he look like?

1:34.9

I think it's safe to say that Jesus was a Jew.

1:38.7

That's what the Bible says.
