🎙️ Men After God Podcast | Episode Title: “What God Hates: Proverbs 6 and the Power of Unity”

Join Luke Sorensen as he continues the journey through Proverbs 6, diving deep into the character traits God hates—and what they reveal about our hearts. This episode unpacks two powerful sections: the destructive nature of a deceitful life and the sobering list of seven things God finds abominable. Through practical teaching, biblical insight, and a challenge to reflect personally, Luke urges listeners to stop pointing fingers outward and instead examine what’s happening within.

This is a bold call to stop sowing discord and start building unity—starting with your own character.

👉 Key Takeaways:
✔️ Deception and manipulation lead to destruction—sow truth instead.
✔️ The seven things God hates all fracture relationships and unity.
✔️ Your intentions and influence matter just as much as your actions.
✔️ You’re either building people up or tearing them down—there is no neutral.
✔️ Gossip, arrogance, and wicked thoughts aren't "small sins"—God still hates them.

2:24 → Who’s the “naughty person”? Applying Scripture to yourself
4:40 → Reaping what you sow: The cost of deceitful living
