Send us a textAre you holding onto things God has told you to eliminate? In this thought-provoking episode, Purpose Williams and "The Elder" dive deep into the dangers of compromised obedience through the compelling biblical contrast between Kings Saul and David.What made David "a man after God's own heart" while Saul was rejected as king? Despite David's notorious failures, his heart remained centered on God, while Saul's heart was ultimately centered on himself. When confronted with their sins, David immediately turned to God in genuine repentance, while Saul offered excuses and prioritized saving face.The conversation introduces the "Six C's of Christian-ish" – Compromised Obedience, Copying Culture, Counterfeit Spirituality, Crafty Excuses, Condoning Sin, and Casual Repentance – warning signs that we're becoming selective about which parts of our faith we'll embrace. As Purpose notes, "Selective obedience is still disobedience," a reality that cost Saul everything.We explore how positions from God are given as gifts of grace rather than earned achievements. When we fail to steward these positions well, we essentially dethrone ourselves. The speakers share personal stories of learning to surrender harmful appetites – from coffee and soda to destructive relationships – illustrating how often what "tastes good" to us is actually causing damage.This episode offers a powerful challenge: stop keeping what you should be killing. Whether it's unhealthy attachments, sinful habits, or simply areas where God has called you to surrender, true discipleship requires complete obedience, not just the parts that feel comfortable.Take a moment today to ask yourself: What am I holding onto that God has asked me to release?
