Episode notes
Transformation Of Chantel
- Pastor Joby describes meeting Chantel, a woman in a same-sex relationship who came to the church crying and unsure.
- She surrendered to Christ, left her relationship, got baptized, served as a missionary, and now runs a coffee truck destroyed by storms.
Desire vs Lordship
- Joby emphasizes sexual desire isn't the ultimate authority: "your desire is not your Lord; Jesus is your Lord."
- He insists pastors must teach biblical sexual ethics rather than conform to culture.
Test Your Obedience
- Ask yourself: if Jesus appeared and told you to stop, would you obey or argue?
- If you argue, you are effectively lord of your life and must repent to submit to Christ's authority.
