May 26, 2025 · 10 min

When the storms hit, will your life stand firm or collapse? In Episode 2 of our devotional series, Pastor Roderick Webster digs deeper into Jesus’ Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24-27) to show why obedience—not opinion—is the solid rock of genuine faith.

🔹 In this episode you’ll discover:

Why hearing the Word isn’t proof of salvation—doing it is.

The hidden cost of following Jesus (Luke 9:57-62) and why excuses don’t cut it.

The stark contrast between a life built on God’s truth vs. one built on self-satisfaction.

Practical steps to move from “I believe” to “I obey.”
