Summary:
In this powerful episode of Lifting US Up in Liberty, Pastor Earl Wallace challenges us to take a hard look at how modern culture, especially through the media, is subtly shifting our view of what’s good, ideal, and right according to God’s standards.
Drawing from Mark 12:30-31 and Proverbs 23:7, we explore how our self-identity shapes everything—how we see ourselves, how we read the Bible, and even how we perceive God Himself. Sadly, the world's reporting glorifies lifestyles and family structures that are less than God's ideal, conditioning us to accept brokenness as normal instead of striving toward God’s design.
The world loves to spotlight isolated success stories of people overcoming difficult situations, like single motherhood. But it often ignores the broader truth: living outside of God's plan leads to deep societal pain—such as the staggering statistic that over 85% of incarcerated individuals were raised in single-parent homes.
This episode isn't about condemnation—it’s about acknowledging reality, repenting, and embracing the full life God offers through His grace. When we see life through the lens of God's Word and not the world's narrative, we experience the true freedom and liberty He promises.
5 Key Points:
- Identity Shapes Behavior: How we see ourselves determines the value system we let into our hearts—and how we view God.
- God’s Ideal for Family Matters: His design is for marriage between one man and one woman, and raising children within that covenant.
- Media Glorifies Brokenness: Society often highlights isolated successes to excuse or normalize lifestyles that fall short of God’s best.
- God’s Word Calls Us to Repentance: It's not about judgment; it’s about truth, forgiveness, and living in alignment with God's will.
- Freedom Comes from Truth: Recognizing where we’ve drifted from God’s plan and turning back to Him is how we get lifted up in liberty.
Why You Should Listen:
If you're tired of being told that brokenness should be celebrated and you're longing for clarity about God’s true design for life and family, this episode will reset your perspective through the lens of scripture.
Why This Episode Matters:
Culture will keep shifting standards to fit human preferences, but God's truth is constant. Real liberty and real transformation happen when we align ourselves with His Word, not the latest cultural trends.
