Join us girls "Around the Table" for a Q&A with Bro. John "Ernie" Perez as we discuss a wide range of topics relevant to Christian life today.

Ever felt like church is a comfy couch when you need a training ground? We dive into what it really takes to grow up in faith: moving from spiritual milk to solid food, laying down the binky of soothing platitudes, and learning to hear God for yourself. With honest stories, scriptural insight, and a warm round-table of voices, we explore how love-led correction, private mentorship, and everyday relationships shape mature believers who can carry real responsibility.

We trace the throughline from Abraham’s covenant to practical discipleship today—why alignment must come before assignment, how the law can be training wheels that yield to grace, and why testimony matters more than rule-keeping. You’ll hear vivid examples of “fruit inspecting” without shaming, the power of asking better questions—Did you pray? What did you find in Scripture?—and how the Spirit gently forms discernment so we can judge prophecy, resist trends, and protect our witness. Modesty, speech, and conduct show up not as checklists, but as choices that either point people to Jesus or to us.

Most of all, we make a case for house-to-house discipleship over stage-driven religion. Growth happens at the table, on the porch, and in the aisle—where we listen, open the Bible, and walk with people through fear, failure, and new faith. If you’ve been stuck in comfort or craving courage, this conversation offers a path: repent, obey, build relationships, and keep your heart soft before God.

If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more soul-stretching conversations, and leave a review with one takeaway you’re putting into practice this week. Your voice helps more people find a faith that matures. (*Recorded on 1/12/2026)
