Episode notes
Pass On Truth Intentionally Like A Relay
- Do intentionally pass on the truths you received so successive generations will put their confidence in God.
- Don Green frames it as a relay: teach faithful people who will teach others, making intergenerational discipleship deliberate.
Cowardice Comes From Forgetting God's Wonders
- Israel's military failure (Ephraim fleeing) is tied to forgetting God's past deeds and miracles.
- Don Green uses the Exodus signs—sea divided, cloud and fire, water from rock—to show reason from greater to lesser.
Fight Fear By Remembering Your Redemption
- When fear grips you, rehearse past redemption (for Christians, the cross) as proof God will keep you through lesser trials.
- Don Green argues present adversity must be viewed from the prior fact of salvation, not as decisive evidence.
