Hey, hey, welcome to the church home podcast with Judah Smith. My amazing husband. My name is Chelsea,

and he is about to give you an incredible message. And I know we are going to hear about Jesus and his love for you.

And if there's anything we can do as a church home community, we would love to serve you.

You can come to churchhome.org slash pastor chat, and we would love to have a conversation with you and just meet

you exactly where you are. Enjoy the message. Hey, church home. Welcome to the month of August. August.

My sister was born in August, actually. So, Wendy, if perhaps you're watching this servant,

happy birthday. I love you. That is my older sister. She's been my older sister my whole life.

And I love her very, very much. But welcome to the month of August.

And here's my thought process for the whole month. And we're going to look at

five verses in essentially five weeks here in the month of August. What do you do when something

actually is spiritual? Now, in the line of work that I'm in, that is a preacher, working with people,

helping them along their spiritual journey, oftentimes I find, as the scripture says,

first the natural, then the spiritual. For instance, people often will pray for whiter teeth,

but they could also brush their teeth.

People will hope to not have body odor, and they could also wear deodorant.

By the way, side note, I see a lot of, like, deodorants that are really bad for you,

and what happens when you're 46 and you've been wearing those bad deodorants your whole life?

Like, I'm willing to change for sure.

But I know there's like, there's like aluminum or something in my deodorant.

Guys, just pray for me.

I don't know what to do.

I've been wearing aluminum under my armpits for 40 plus years.
