Welcome back, listeners, to another enriching episode of WBSG. This is Episode 4 of our special series, "Ephesians Ep 4.wav," where Pastor Chad and Kim guide us through Day 4 of the 7 Day Reset as we dive deep into Ephesians chapter 3. In this episode, we'll explore the "RAMP" method—Read, Apply, Meditate, Pray—and uncover the profound wisdom and divine plans revealed through Paul's letter.
Join Pastor Chad as he unpacks Paul's intricate writing style, where he often takes fascinating side routes before returning to his main points. Discover why Paul, imprisoned for the gospel, emphasizes unity between Jews and Gentiles and underscores this as God's eternal plan, not his own invention. Kim adds depth by highlighting the human tendency to idolize figures like Paul and how Paul's own struggles and humility mirror Christ's call to follow Him into life's trials.
We'll delve into Paul's beautiful prayer for strength, love, and understanding for the Ephesians, painting a powerful image of our place and purpose within God's grand design. As we navigate these rich spiritual truths, Pastor Chad and Kim encourage us to read along, reflect, and find personal application.
So, grab your Bible, open your heart, and let's journey together through Ephesians chapter 3. Don't forget to share your own insights in the comments below. Get ready to deepen your understanding and fortify your faith in this compelling episode of WBSG.

Pastor Chad and I reflect on the transformational journey from spiritual death to life through Christ as described by Paul.

Welcome back to WBSG! In today's episode, Pastor Chad and Kim continue their 7-day reset journey through the book of Ephesians, focusing on Chapter 1, verses 3-23. They delve into the acronym RAMP—Read, Apply, Meditate, Pray—to explore how to deeply engage with these scriptures. Pastor Chad underscores Paul's method of beginning with a "barakah," a hymn of praise, which is particularly striking given Paul's imprisonment at the time. Kim likens reading Paul's letter to finding a personally addressed note in her mailbox, making the encouragement and exhortation all the more impactful.
Together, they highlight powerful themes such as heavenly blessings, spiritual wisdom, and being united with Christ. They also discuss Paul's fervent prayer for the Ephesians to deeply know God and understand the hope and power available to them through Christ. Tune in for rich insights, personal reflections, and practical ways to bring the scriptures to life in your own spiritual journey. Don't miss this chance to reset and ramp up your faith as we dig into Ephesians!

We understand that most dads feel undervalued and misunderstood. The goal is for you to be encouraged through real conversations about the value of fatherhood in different stages of life. God is not the reflection of your earthly dad. He is the perfection of your earthly dad.
Pastor Louie Giglio sits down to discuss his new book - Seeing God as a Perfect Father.
Welcome to our Facing Fatherhood study, where we dive into the topic of "daddy issues" and how we can find healing and restoration through our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Many men face challenges and struggles stemming from their earthly father relationships, which can affect their attitude towards God as a loving Father. As parents, we are also cautious not to share those issues with our children. In this episode, we sit down with 5 fathers to discuss the struggles of fatherhood.

In this episode, we sit down with Wally (WayFM Morning Show) to discuss the struggles of fathering after your kids are grown.

We know that most dads feel undervalued and misunderstood. But it’s difficult to move past obstacles like confusion, business, and if we are honest a lack of enthusiasm.
No one is an expert dad, but we believe the Bible speaks about and equips us for the role of effective fathering. We have also been left with the gift of the Christian community (the Church) to build each other up.
Here’s how we do it:
- Sign up for this WBSG study - FACING FATHERHOOD
- Listen to the podcast and take some time to do the accompanying Bible study to be encouraged that other dads have the same issues.
- Apply the encouragement to parent the kids God gave you.
