Everybody loves the idea of being a "living sacrifice" until they realize sacrifices don't get to negotiate the terms. In Romans 12, Paul takes eleven chapters of deep theology and finally says, "Therefore…" In other words, now that you know what God has done for you, what are you going to do about it?   We'll unpack what it actually means to put your whole life on the altar, stop letting the world squeeze you into its mold, and allow God to renovate the way you think. Then Paul makes things even more uncomfortable: stop thinking you're the most important person in the room, figure out where you fit in the Body of Christ, and actually use the gifts God gave you.   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ BIRCH GOLD - Text CHAD to the number 989898 to see if you qualify for a first-time gold buyer rebate of up to ten thousand dollars   ✅ Human Coalition - Give today at https://humancoalition.org/beforethenoise   ✅ Amble Health Inc. - Go to https://joinamble.com/podcasts/chad and use my code CHAD to get 10% off your kit, plus free shipping.

Just when you think you have God's plan figured out, Paul reminds you that God wasn't waiting on your whiteboard presentation. In Romans 11:25-36, we tackle one of Paul's biggest mysteries: Israel's partial hardening, "all Israel will be saved," God's irrevocable calling, and a mercy big enough to leave everybody without room to brag.   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ American Financing - Call American Financing today to find out how customers are saving an avg of $800/mo.  888-961-4143 or visit http://www.AmericanFinancing.net/Chad, NMLS 182334, nmlsconsumeraccess.org   ✅ Angel Studios - Join the Angel Guild to watch Seeking Persephone and discover a whole library of stories that are clean, family friendly, and actually worth your time.    ✅ BIRCH GOLD - Text CHAD to the number 989898 to see if you qualify for a first-time gold buyer rebate of up to ten thousand dollars  

Apparently, getting invited to the party does not mean you get to insult the people who were there before you.   In Romans 11:11-24, Paul explains how Israel's stumbling opened the door for the gospel to spread among the Gentiles, and then immediately tells the Gentiles not to get cocky about it. You are a wild branch that got grafted into somebody else's tree. Maybe don't start criticizing the landscaping.   In this study, we'll talk about Israel's stumbling, God's faithfulness, the kindness and severity of God, and why grace should make us grateful instead of arrogant.   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ Rumble Wallet - Download Rumble Wallet now and step away from the big banks — for good! https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/chadprather   ✅ Human Coalition - Give today at https://humancoalition.org/beforethenoise   ✅ BIRCH GOLD - Text CHAD to the number 989898 to see if you qualify for a first-time gold buyer rebate of up to ten thousand dollars  

Israel had the promises, the prophets, the Scriptures, the history, the covenant, and every spiritual advantage imaginable… and still managed to miss the Messiah standing right in front of them. In Romans 11:1-10, Paul reminds us that God hasn't abandoned His people, grace can't be earned, and religious familiarity is no substitute for faith. It's a sobering warning for anyone who thinks knowing all the right things automatically means their heart is in the right place. Turns out you can be surrounded by truth and still become really good at not seeing it.   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ BIRCH GOLD - Text CHAD to the number 989898 to see if you qualify for a first-time gold buyer rebate of up to ten thousand dollars   ✅ Patriot Mobile - Go to https://patriotmobile.com/partners/chad or call 972-PATRIOT.

We love making salvation complicated. Work harder. Be better. Get religious. Clean yourself up. Impress God. Paul dismantles the whole exhausting system in Romans 10:5-21. You don't have to climb into heaven, perform a spiritual obstacle course, or build a resume impressive enough for God.   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ BIRCH GOLD - Text CHAD to the number 989898 to see if you qualify for a first-time gold buyer rebate of up to ten thousand dollars   ✅ American Financing - Call American Financing today to find out how customers are saving an avg of $800/mo.  888-961-4143 or visit http://www.AmericanFinancing.net/Chad, NMLS 182334, nmlsconsumeraccess.org   ✅ Chapter - For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (743) 281-0946 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to askchapter.org/prather 

Romans 9:30-10:4   You can be sincere, passionate, religious, disciplined, and absolutely headed the wrong way. Paul explains how Israel pursued righteousness so aggressively that they stumbled right over the One who actually provides it.   In this episode, we unpack the danger of trying to impress God with our spiritual resume, why zeal without truth can be dangerous, and what Paul means when he says Christ is "the end of the law for righteousness." Maybe the gospel isn't about trying harder. Maybe it's about finally admitting that Jesus already did what you couldn't.   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ Angel Studios - Join the Angel Guild to watch Seeking Persephone and discover a whole library of stories that are clean, family friendly, and actually worth your time.    ✅ Kalshi - http://kalshi.com/r/prather Trade $25 → Receive $25 using my exclusive PRATHER code 18+ only.

GET CHAD's NEW HIT SINGLE "Never Forget" HERE: https://linktr.ee/ram911   Romans 9:1-29 takes us into one of the deepest and most challenging passages in Scripture. Paul wrestles with Israel's unbelief, God's promises, election, Pharaoh, the Potter and the clay, and the uncomfortable truth that God is sovereign and we are not.   Why does God choose? Is God unfair? If God is sovereign, are we still responsible? And what happens when God's plan doesn't make sense from where we're standing?   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ American Financing - Call American Financing today to find out how customers are saving an avg of $800/mo.  888-961-4143 or visit http://www.AmericanFinancing.net/Chad, NMLS 182334, nmlsconsumeraccess.org   ✅ BIRCH GOLD - Text CHAD to the number 989898 to see if you qualify for a first-time gold buyer rebate of up to ten thousand dollars   ✅ Human Coalition - Give today at https://humancoalition.org/beforethenoise  

Paul starts naming everything we are afraid of: suffering, persecution, danger, spiritual powers, an uncertain future, even death itself. Then he makes an outrageous declaration: none of it can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.   Romans 8:35-39 isn't a promise that Christians won't suffer. It's a promise that suffering doesn't get the final word.   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ American Financing - Call American Financing today to find out how customers are saving an avg of $800/mo.  888-961-4143 or visit http://www.AmericanFinancing.net/Chad, NMLS 182334, nmlsconsumeraccess.org   ✅ Angel Studios - Join the Angel Guild to watch Seeking Persephone and discover a whole library of stories that are clean, family friendly, and actually worth your time.    ✅ Rumble Wallet - Download Rumble Wallet now and step away from the big banks — for good! https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/chadprather  

Paul ends Romans 8 by basically throwing down the theological gauntlet: If God is for us, who can successfully stand against us? Who can accuse us? Who can condemn us? And what exactly can separate us from the love of Christ?   Spoiler alert: nobody and nothing.   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ BIRCH GOLD - Text CHAD to the number 989898 to see if you qualify for a first-time gold buyer rebate of up to ten thousand dollars   ✅ Angel Studios - Join the Angel Guild to watch Seeking Persephone and discover a whole library of stories that are clean, family friendly, and actually worth your time.    ✅ Kalshi - http://kalshi.com/r/prather Trade $25 → Receive $25 using my exclusive PRATHER code 18+ only.

Romans 8:18-30 is for anybody who's ever looked at their life and thought, "Lord… I'm gonna need You to explain this one."   Paul doesn't pretend suffering doesn't hurt. Creation is groaning. We're groaning. Sometimes we don't even know what to pray. And right in the middle of all that mess comes one of the biggest promises in Scripture: God is still working.   In this study, we'll talk about suffering, hope, unanswered prayers, the Spirit praying when we don't have the words, what "all things work together for good" actually means, and why God's definition of "good" might be very different from ours.   PRE-SAVE CHAD'S NEW SONG - NEVER FORGET - AND GET THE COMMEMORATIVE VINYL HERE https://linktr.ee/ram911   Today's Sponsors:   ✅ BIRCH GOLD - Text CHAD to the number 989898 to see if you qualify for a first-time gold buyer rebate of up to ten thousand dollars   ✅ Human Coalition - Give today at https://humancoalition.org/beforethenoise   ✅ Patriot Protect - http://patriot-protect.com/chad or USE CODE CHAD for 15% off to get protected for about 5 bucks a month.
