Section 1:

In this final third of the episode, Dr. Dave presses into a major theological theme: belief in Jesus is not a one-time event but a continual trust. Drawing from Romans 11 and John 3:16, he emphasizes the importance of enduring faith, not merely a historical confession. God’s kindness flows to those who continue trusting in Him, while those who cease to trust—like the unbelieving Jews referenced in Romans—are cut off. He reinforces that Christianity is not fire insurance but a living, dynamic relationship with the living God. The passage urges listeners to stay vigilant and faithful, never tapering off or walking away from the foundational belief in Jesus Christ.

Section 2:

A key highlight comes through a phone call from Joanne, who not only answers the trivia question correctly (the Holy Spirit gave the disciples the ability to speak in other languages on Pentecost) but also shares a heartfelt praise report. Exhausted and overwhelmed, she prayed for strength and energy, and God answered her with renewed strength to carry out her ministry work. This real-life testimony underscores Colossians 1:29 and illustrates how God empowers His people for the work of the kingdom. Dr. Dave celebrates her testimony and leads a sincere, Spirit-filled prayer for her and her sister Ilana, who has special needs and is being returned to her group home. It’s a deeply touching moment that connects faith to life’s raw realities.

Section 3:

Returning to the text, Dr. Dave firmly teaches that apostasy is not common but is real and serious. Belief must be active, not abandoned. He outlines how even when believers stumble or backslide, they must never deny the core truth that Jesus Christ is Lord. Quoting Ephesians 2:8–10, he reminds listeners that salvation is by grace through faith—not works—but the faith that saves must endure. He concludes with a passionate prayer, thanking God for the unmerited gift of salvation and asking for continual strength to remain faithful. The message is sobering but hopeful: keep trusting, keep believing, and hold tightly to the hand of God who is always faithful.
