God hands the prophet Ezekiel a scroll and tells him to eat it. He does—and it tastes like honey, even though it’s filled with words of lament and woe. What does this bizarre scene in Ezekiel 2-3 teach us about preparing to share God’s message in a world that doesn’t want to hear it?Gabriel and Sonny unpack one of Scripture’s strangest prophetic moments and reveal three essential steps for anyone who wants to communicate God’s truth effectively.In this episode, we explore:• Why God’s countercultural message requires countercultural messengers• How pathos, logos, and ethos apply to biblical preaching and evangelism• Why people won’t believe our message if we don’t live like we believe it (Matthew 7:15-17)• What it means to “digest” God’s Word—and why it’s a never-ending process• The connection between Ezekiel’s sweet scroll and John’s bitter stomach in Revelation 10• Why even good news sounds like bad news to some people (1 Corinthians 1:18)• How the “sweetness” of doing God’s will outweighs the cost of proclaiming hard truthsFrom Ezekiel’s edible scroll to Peter’s call to be “prepared to make a defense” to the cross being “folly to those who are perishing,” discover what it actually takes to faithfully communicate God’s message today.Three preparation essentials: 1. Live faithfully—let your life match your message 2. Digest God’s Word—study continually, but don’t wait for perfection 3. Count the cost—rejoice over those saved, mourn over those lostJoin this father-son duo as they explore why the sweetness of serving God makes even difficult obedience worth it.Perfect for anyone who wants to share their faith but feels unprepared or fears the cost.
