Join Aaron Hood and special guest Zac Waller as they ask the question “What does atonement look like in practice”. Zac unpacks Mark 5 where we see the unclean being made clean by a transformative work of faith and humility accompanied by verbal confession of fault. As Yeshua says justification came for the tax collector that beat his chest and said “ have mercy on me a sinner “ and the one who kept the law was caught in his pride. Confession isn’t just admission—it’s a commanded, transformative act that completes repentance. In this episode, we explore the Hebrew root yadah, unpack scriptural examples from Leviticus to 1 John, and discuss why verbal confession is key to healing, forgiveness, and restoration. Learn how to bring hidden sin into the light and lean on the Head of the offering. Take the challenge to “confess your faults one to another” and experience the healing.

🎧 Reflection & Application:

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

In this episode, we dive deep into 1 Timothy 2:8, where Paul makes a pointed and passionate plea: “I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” Why does Paul specifically call out men? Because the reality is—many men struggle with consistent, fervent prayer. Prayer is often seen as passive or unproductive, yet Jesus Himself taught that men ought always to pray and not lose heart (Luke 18:1). In this teaching, we’ll explore: 🔹 A Call to Men – Why prayer isn’t optional for godly men, and how powerful examples like Elijah (James 5:17) show what can happen when ordinary men pray earnestly. 🔹 Everywhere and Always – From the secret place to the public square, men are called to pray in every place and at all times (Luke 21:36, Col. 1:9). 🔹 Lifting Holy Hands – What does it mean to raise hands that are clean—not just in gesture, but in character and conduct? (Psalm 24:4, Job 17:9). 🔹 Without Wrath and Doubting – Why anger and unbelief hinder your prayers—and how humility, faith, and spiritual discipline can restore power to your prayer life (James 1:19-20, Matthew 21:21). With insights from Scripture and fiery quotes from spiritual giants like Wesley, Finney, Ravenhill, and Wigglesworth, this episode is a call to arms—arms lifted in holy, faith-filled prayer. Because as Ravenhill said: “No man is greater than his prayer life.”

In a world where wickedness thrives when justice is forgotten, this podcast is a call to action for believers who are called to uphold a divine standard: justice as God defines it. Drawing deeply from Scripture, each episode explores the timeless and powerful truth that God is a God of justice—one who defends the fatherless, upholds the oppressed, and judges with righteousness.

Through real-life scenarios, biblical exposition, and the foundational Hebrew concept of מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat), we unpack how justice is more than a legal term—it is a holy virtue. We’ll explore how justice intersects with mercy, judgment with grace, and how believers can discern between righteous accountability and wrongful condemnation.

Join Aaron as he brings out Justice as an attribute of God and how we are to promote His Justice on earth. From Moses to the prophets, from Christ to the apostles, this podcast is a journey through Scripture that challenges listeners to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Because without justice, there is no peace—and without righteousness, there is no justice.

“Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” — Amos 5:24

Ability or Dependability?

This week join Aaron with special guest Sean Butler as they unpack the Faithful fruit.

In Scripture, the concept of faith is often misunderstood as mere belief or mental agreement. However, a deeper look at both the Hebrew (אָמֵן – aman, H539) and Greek (πιστεύω – pisteuō, G4100) roots reveals a fuller picture: faith is trustworthiness, reliability, and dependability—not just belief in God, but faithfulness to God.

“The just shall live by his faith.” – Habakkuk 2:4

In both the Old and New Testaments, faith is consistently shown through action and loyalty. It’s not enough to acknowledge God’s existence; true faith manifests as consistent obedience and unwavering commitment to God’s ways. This is why Abraham was counted righteous—not because he believed God existed, but because he trusted and obeyed Him. Moses, too, is called faithful in all God's house—not because of what he believed, but because of how he lived.

Even Jesus commended individuals for their faith when He saw their actions—like the friends who lowered the paralytic through the roof (Matt. 9:2) or the Canaanite woman whose persistence led to her daughter’s healing (Matt. 15:28).

A faithful husband is not judged by his beliefs, but by his consistency, loyalty, and actions. Likewise, God calls His people to demonstrate faith by their dependability—by living lives that reflect His character.

Faithfulness is Dependability

• ● Keeping commitments, even when it’s hard.
• ● Trusting God's Word enough to live by it.
• ● Showing up consistently—for others and for God.
• ● Obeying when it’s inconvenient.
• ● Being loyal to God's Kingdom over worldly pressures.
• Faith is more than ability. It’s not about being strong, talented, or capable in ourselves—it’s about being reliable and loyal to God, just as He is to us:
• "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God." – Deuteronomy 7:9
• Faithfulness is the Victory
• In the end, it’s not ability but faithfulness that overcomes the world.
• “This is the victory that overcomes the world—even our faith.” – 1 John 5:4

This week’s fruit is Goodness, or beneficence if you want to sound fancy. Have you ever picked grapes from an orange tree? Or dates from a pomegranate tree? Of course not. Can you bear good fruit? Only if the goodness of messiah is in you. Aaron and Victoria discuss fruit today, good fruit. Did you notice Victoria’s finger? She was getting a bit carried away in the vineyard picking fruit and nearly gave herself an amputation. I might be exaggerating a bit. If you watch the video she’ll tell you all about it.

This week’s fruit is Kindness, and it’s a tough one. Most of us would consider ourselves kind, and usually we are. But what happens when we aren’t? Why do we stop being Kind? Randy Hilton is today’s guest, and he shares some very insightful knowledge about why we stop being kind, and just as importantly, how to grow the Kindness Fruit.

Aaron was so excited about today’s episode that he went and interviewed 2 of his favorite people so we went ahead and stuck those bonus interviews on the at the end. If you’re wondering what donut holes have to do with the Kindness Fruit, you’ll have to stick around until the end to hear Luke Hilton from the Israel Guys explain it.
