Psalm 16:8
The Daily Grind - Unshakable Peace. Steady makes you ready.
“I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.”
Matthew 28:19-20
Our job has not changed, whatever the state of the world.
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
“Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
John 8:44
Why the enemy does evil - he is a liar and the father of it.
“For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Romans 10:9-10, 13
A heart’s cry, and you say it with your mouth.
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
“For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.”
“For ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.’”
Romans 6:4
What baptism pictures - buried with Christ, raised to walk in newness of life.
“For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.”
Matthew 18:20
It could be a coliseum, or aisle four at H-E-B. It’s called church.
“For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

Hi - this message is more for Adam and his stance on the hype around AI needing controls, and that being a marketing ploy. I’ve been in agreement. And I just got confused by this post, which I believe Adam has pointed to in the past as being good to follow: Marcus on AI - https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/wake-up-people-what-we-should-actually?r=2bw3f&utm_medium=ios I hope Adam can discuss
Adam and Pastor Jimmy,
I just wanted to take another opportunity to tell you both how thankful I am for the We Get To Do This podcast. I especially appreciate the way you bring a Biblical perspective to the geopolitical events and challenges happening in our world today. There is so much noise, fear, and division, and I’m grateful for the way you continually point back to God’s truth and help put these events into a Biblical perspective.
I’m praying for both of you—that God would continue to give you perseverance, wisdom, discernment, and courage as you do this work. I also pray for His hand of protection over you, your families, and everyone connected to the ministry.
Thank you for being willing to speak truth, have difficult conversations, and remind us that ultimately our trust and hope are in God. May He continue to guide and bless you both.
Grateful for you guys and for what you’re doing!
Duane from Naples, Florida
