What if your life had nothing to hide—no low-grade guilt, no secret compromises, no dread of being found out? Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim map a clear path toward that kind of freedom by connecting faith, obedience, and righteousness as one living rhythm: say yes to Jesus and your heart, habits, and horizon begin to change. This isn’t about earning salvation; it’s about receiving the Spirit’s gift of new “want-tos” and learning how quiet confidence grows when your life aligns with God’s way.

We unpack why righteousness matters beyond Sunday. Think less checklist, more protection. Paul’s “breastplate of righteousness” guards your inner life in the real battlegrounds: tense meetings, hospital hallways, hard conversations, and private choices no one sees. Isaiah’s promise becomes tangible—the result of righteousness is peace, and the effect is quiet confidence—because you stop handing the enemy footholds and start walking with a clean conscience. We talk through common pitfalls like calling our preplanned sin a “struggle,” and we offer a better prayer: “Holy Spirit, change my want-to.”

Grounded in Luke 5, 2 Corinthians 5, Ephesians, and 2 Peter, we show how grace clothes you in Christ’s righteousness and then trains you to live rightly. You’ll hear practical ways to present your whole self as a weapon for good, build integrity that stands up to scrutiny later, and pray from victory instead of shame. From Job’s ordinary-yet-righteous example to modern moments of courage at work and home, you’ll see how small yeses add up to a life heaven marvels at and God can use anywhere.

If you’re ready for peace that lasts and confidence that doesn’t need to boast, press play. Then share this with someone who needs hope today, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review with one question you want us to tackle next.

We share why Marvel focuses on people whose lives made heaven pause and how faith as allegiance reshapes obedience, church, and daily choices. From the centurion to Noah, we trace long obedience, serving with Jesus’ presence, and anchoring our yes in grace.

• faith defined as allegiance under Jesus’ authority
• humility of outsiders who amazed Jesus
• pushing back against church consumerism
• discerning where God calls you to serve
• obedience as faith made visible in daily choices
• Noah’s long obedience and unseen faithfulness
• walking with God versus working for him
• serving with Jesus’ presence in practical tasks
• anchoring obedience in grace not guilt
• taking the next right yes

This month on the Blue Chair Podcast, Pastor Jared, Charles Magyar and our Special Guest discuss why the birth announcement went to shepherds, how identity shifts after meeting Jesus, and why God’s will often feels unlike home. We share stories of growth in messy seasons, practical ways to make room for God, and how grace shows up in daily lines and long nights.

• shepherds as first witnesses and symbols of the sacrificial lamb
• returning to ordinary life with a transformed identity
• discomfort as formation rather than failure
• trusting God’s reroute and long work in us
• suffering as a place of clarity and calling
• making room by saying no to lesser things
• small daily disciplines that change the heart
• grace practiced in everyday moments and choices

We love you guys. Have a great month. We’ll see you at church.
