DWDP: Preserving Faith.. Being the 'Salt of the Earth' Amidst Worldly Influences

Send us a text

Remember when we used to sprinkle salt on slugs as kids? Fascinating and somewhat harsh, it was a vivid lesson in the power of a simple substance. Reflecting on that memory, this episode ventures into an exploration of our role as Christians being the 'salt of the earth', preserving, purifying, and adding flavor to society. We share a personal encounter from my construction job days, where I witnessed first-hand the sharp contrast between the worldly influences and the kingdom of God. We also discuss how Burch, a lay preacher, challenged my faith, leading me to recommit to God and find a supportive community of Christian friends.

Diving into a deeper discussion, we analogize the gospel to salt; it can heal, yet it can irritate, depending on the readiness of the listener's heart. We drive home the crucial importance of not losing our 'saltiness' to the diluting worldly influences, staying unapologetically true to our Christian values. Don't miss out on the details about Dr. Jackson's latest book, a biography of his father, which serves as a riveting insight into his military, medical and spiritual journey. So tune into More Than Medicine, where we steadfastly affirm that Jesus is more than enough for the ills that affect our culture and our country.
