In this episode of the Heat & Light Podcast, Chris continues Week Nine of the life group series with a powerful teaching titled "Wandering Into Action." After walking through the Feasts of the Lord in Leviticus 23, this conversation moves from understanding God's timing to living it out.

By examining Passover, Communion, Pentecost, and the prophetic feasts still to come, Chris challenges listeners to rethink what it means to "do this in remembrance of Me." Communion is not just a religious exercise—it is a call to be broken, humbled, and transformed. Looking only backward misses the full picture. God's feasts point us forward, toward action, obedience, and preparation for what is coming.

Through Scripture in the Gospels, Acts, and Colossians, and stories of ordinary people like Moses and Elisabeth Elliot, this episode calls believers out of spiritual wandering and into faithful, Spirit-led action—together.

• The Feasts of the Lord reveal God's timing, purpose, and redemptive plan.

• Communion is rooted in Passover and points to both the past sacrifice and the future fulfillment.

• "Do this in remembrance of Me" is not merely ritual—it is a call to humility, repentance, and dying to self.

• Pentecost marks the turning point: believers now live and act through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

• The final feasts (Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles) point to Christ's return, final cleansing, and God dwelling with His people.

• True action flows from putting on the new self (Colossians) in everyday life—family, work, prayer, and community.

• God calls ordinary people to extraordinary obedience, and He never sends them alone.

• Don't reduce Communion to a monthly routine—let it lead to real heart change and action.

• God's calendar tells a bigger story than ours; understanding His timing changes how we live today.

• The Christian life is not passive reflection—it is active participation in what God is doing.

• The Holy Spirit empowers believers to move from wandering to purpose.

• Faithful obedience is lived out in community—we move forward together, not alone.

• If God is calling you, He will equip you—just as He did with Moses and Elisabeth Elliot.

• Everything points to Christ, and everything leads toward the future He has promised.

In this episode of the Heat and Light Podcast, Chris takes listeners deep into the meaning and message of the Feast of Booths, exploring why God commanded His people to remember their dependence, their deliverance, and their identity as temporary dwellers on earth. Chris unpacks how this ancient festival points directly to Jesus as our living water, the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise to dwell with His people.

Through Scripture, the story of Gideon, and even the "boulder problem" faced by climber Alex Honnold, confronts the barriers that keep us stuck in cycles of wilderness thinking. Whether it's fear, insecurity, spiritual drift, or comfort, this episode calls believers to move beyond hesitation and step boldly into the life God has already invited them into.

This is a challenging and empowering reminder that God doesn't want us wandering endlessly — He wants us walking in faith, dwelling in His presence, and stepping forward into purpose.

• We are temporary dwellers. Just like the Israelites lived in booths, our time on earth is brief — and remembering that changes how we live.

• Jesus fulfills the Feast. He is the living water poured out for us, the presence of God among His people.

• Your "boulder problem" is spiritual. Every believer faces something difficult, intimidating, or risky that tests their faith.

• God calls us out of the wilderness. We can't stay stuck in old patterns, fear, or passivity — God invites us to move forward.

• Faith requires action. Gideon tore down idols the same night God told him. Obedience starts now, not later.

• Feast of Booths (Sukkot)

• God's presence dwelling with His people

• Jesus as Living Water

• Identity as sojourners, not settlers

• Fear versus faith

• Breaking cycles of spiritual complacency

• Taking action in obedience

• Overcoming your "boulder problem"

• Stepping into calling with boldness

In this episode of the Heat & Light Podcast, Chris challenges listeners to confront one of the most pervasive cultural debates: evolution versus creationism. Drawing from Scripture and historical context, Chris examines how evolutionary theory—particularly the writings of Charles Darwin and later interpretations by figures like Richard Dawkins—shapes modern ideas about gender, human value, and morality.

Chris contrasts these ideas with the teachings of the Bible, emphasizing God's design, roles, and purpose for humanity. He equips listeners to think critically, speak boldly, and stand firm in their faith, even when confronting popular beliefs taught in schools and society. This short but powerful episode encourages Christians to understand the truth, defend it wisely, and lead courageously.

• Society often acts as if humans are gods, deriving their own "truth" from feelings or Darwinian evolution.

• Christians are called to ground their understanding in the one true God, who sent Jesus Christ for redemption.

• Charles Darwin's writings contained sexist and misogynistic views toward women and children.

• Evolutionary theory has been misapplied culturally, influencing education and moral perspectives.

• Figures like Richard Dawkins reinforce a human-centered worldview that conflicts with biblical truth.

• Ephesians 5 and 1 Peter 3 show God's design for men and women with complementary roles—not inequality.

• True biblical submission involves mutual love, sacrifice, and understanding, not hierarchy or oppression.

• Misinterpretation of Darwinian ideas influenced horrific ideologies, such as Hitler's application of "survival of the fittest."

• This demonstrates the dangers of removing God from moral and educational frameworks.

• Don't cower in the face of popular opinion or societal pressure.

• Study God's Word and the historical facts.

• Speak boldly about truth, faith, and creation in schools and public discourse.

• Humanism and evolution cannot replace the truth of God's Word.

• Biblical roles are about purpose, not inequality.

• Critical thinking and research are essential for defending your faith.

• Christians are empowered to stand boldly, even against cultural narratives.

• Understanding history and Scripture equips us to lead and teach wisely.
