The Message Of A False Christ

03/05/25 • 61 min

Have you ever wondered if the Christ you follow is the real deal? In this thought-provoking episode, we tackle the critical topic of "The Message of a False Christ." Host Walter and his wife Shanea delve into how society often shapes a version of Christ that caters more to personal desires than to the truth of Scripture. Through biblical references and engaging discussions, they highlight the alarming trend of Christians creating custom versions of Christ, which can lead to dangerous misunderstandings of grace and obedience.
We explore the significance of a genuine relationship with God and how the Holy Spirit plays a transformative role in our lives. The episode also addresses the necessity of experiencing spiritual growth through challenges—often likened to the wilderness periods Jesus faced—which ultimately leads to empowerment and renewed purpose.
What's more, our hosts call on you, the listener, to critically assess how your faith aligns with the teachings of the true Christ. They challenge common misconceptions that grace is a free ticket to sin while encouraging you to embrace the true purpose of grace: freedom from sin and transformation into a Christ-like existence. Get ready to gain deeper insights, involving both scripture and practical life applications, and uncover the spiritual implications of the choices you make.

Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice

Is your faith walk feeling stuck? Maybe you’re giving, serving, and sacrificing, yet still wondering why you’re not seeing the breakthroughs you’re hoping for. This week on Stepping in Faith, Walter and Shanea explore a powerful truth: Obedience is better than sacrifice.

In this episode, we’ll explore what it really means to align your heart with God’s will—not just through outward actions but through true surrender. We’ll break down key scriptures, including the story of Cain and Abel, to reveal how obedience—not just offering—is what truly honors God and unlocks His blessings.

We’ll also tackle the common misconception that financial giving or personal sacrifice automatically leads to spiritual growth when in reality, a heart of obedience is what brings real transformation. You’ll walk away with practical steps to self-reflect, grow in humility, and position yourself to receive what God has for you.

God's Sent vs. Distractions

The spiritual battlefield of our hearts is often fought not between obvious good and evil, but between God's perfect will and seemingly good alternatives that lead us astray. In this powerful exploration of discernment, Walter and Shanea tackle the subtle difference between divine appointments and dangerous distractions.
When the Oxford Dictionary defines distraction as "a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else," it perfectly captures how even good things can pull us away from God's purpose. The hosts carefully distinguish between what God sends versus what merely distracts, revealing how our unhealed traumas create a distorted lens through which we view potential relationships, career choices, and life decisions.
Perhaps most challenging is the revelation that the enemy's greatest desire isn't to prevent marriage altogether but to prevent us from entering God-ordained marriages. "The most dangerous distractions are those that seem perfectly fine," Walter notes, challenging listeners to examine whether their comfortable relationships might actually be keeping them from God's best. Shanea adds that "your trauma will make decisions for you that you don't even realize," highlighting how childhood wounds unconsciously drive adult choices.
The solution, they explain, lies in healing, renewed mental frameworks, and complete submission to God's timing—even when it means facing difficult truths about our current situations. For those wrestling with important life decisions, this episode offers both compassionate understanding and courageous challenge to pursue God's perfect will above all else.
