I’ve been doing a liver cleanse with my wife for the past month or so. All it really entails is no sugar, no white flour, nothing fried. One glass of lemon water first thing in the morning, followed by a raw blended juice of carrots, celery and parsley. That’s it! Yet it got me thinking about every fad diet people chase and abandon: keto, Atkins, paleo, etc. Sure, fast results but then you gain it all back, sometimes twice over. The fad never holds. And somewhere in my own kitchen, craving the very thing I know is killing me, it hit me — we do the exact same thing with our faith.
Prosperity gospel. Word of Faith. The new apostles. The endless prophecy clickbait. They’ve become spiritual junk food — a quick high that leaves you starving and jumping to the next thing, worse off than when you started.
This week’s broadcast is about the one diet nobody can sell you, because there’s no shortcut to advertise: the slow, steady, unglamorous meal of the Word and prayer. It’s true sustenance, not a quick high. And it’s the only thing that lasts!
Grateful you’re here.
— Pablo
