David could not defeat Goliath while wearing Saul’s armor. He had to fight with what God had prepared him to use.

In Episode 5 of Faith Without Works, Brandon examines David’s refusal of Saul’s armor alongside Paul’s command to put on the whole armour of God. The battle is spiritual, the enemy is real, and we cannot win by trusting in somebody else’s strength, experience, or equipment.

God has not called us into battle empty-handed. He has given us truth, righteousness, the preparation of the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, His Word, and prayer. The question is not whether the armor is available. The question is whether we are putting it on.

Faith isn’t just a suit on a Sunday. It must be lived when the battle comes.

Faith is not a suit we put on Sunday morning. It’s something we’re called to live out every day.

In Episode 4 of Faith Without Works, we take a hard look at the battle every Christian faces—and why understanding who and what we’re actually fighting matters.

The battle is real, but Scripture makes something else clear: we are not fighting alone.

We’ll walk through Ephesians 6, 2 Corinthians 10, Romans 8, and 1 John 4 as we look at the enemy, the spiritual nature of the warfare, the strongholds that can develop in our minds, and the God who remains for His people in the middle of the fight.

Know what you’re fighting. Know the enemy. And know Who’s on your side.

Because if we say we believe it, eventually our lives ought to show it.

This is Faith Without Works.

In Episode 2, we talked about the choice.

“Choose you this day whom ye will serve...” — Joshua 24:15

But making the choice to follow Christ doesn't mean the battle is over.

In many ways, that's when the battle becomes real.

In Episode 3 of Faith Without Works, we look at the battle between the flesh and the Spirit—the struggle every believer knows when the desire to follow God collides with the pull of the flesh.

Galatians 5:16–17 shows us that the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. Paul describes that same struggle in Romans 7: he desires to do what is right and delights in the law of God, yet finds another law warring within him.

That struggle doesn't mean your faith isn't real.

It means there's a battle.

The choice has been made. Now we have to understand the fight that comes with it.

Faith isn't merely something we talk about on Sunday in a suit. It's something we're called to live out every day—in our homes, our marriages, raising our children, on the job, and everywhere in between.

Because if we say we believe it, eventually our lives ought to show it.

This is Faith Without Works.

Faith has to move. Faith has to produce something. Faith has to work.

But if faith has to work, what is the first work?

A choice.

In Episode 2 of Faith Without Works, we go to Joshua 24 and the challenge Joshua put before the children of Israel:

“Choose you this day whom ye will serve…”

Before faith shows up in our homes, our marriages, our work, or anywhere else in our lives, there has to be a decision about who we are going to serve.

You cannot live out a faith you have never chosen to stand on.

Primary Scripture:

Joshua 24:14–15

Supporting Scripture:

James 2:14–20

This is Faith Without Works.

There comes a point when a man has to decide whether he is going to keep explaining why he cannot obey God—or get up and do the next thing God put in front of him.

Episode 1 of Faith Without Works is where this journey begins.

I'm not sitting behind this microphone because I have mastered faith. I'm here because God has dealt with my heart about the difference between simply saying we believe something and actually living like we believe it.

James 2:17 says:

“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”

Faith has to move.

Faith has to produce something.

Faith has to work.

This podcast is for the average, hardworking man trying to follow Jesus Christ, lead his family, work with excellence, and become the faithful husband, father, and leader God has called him to be.

We're going to talk about what Scripture looks like when it meets real life—in our homes, our marriages, raising our children, on the job, in our failures, in our victories, and in the everyday process of growing in Christ.

I don't have it all figured out.

But I know I can't keep running from what God has put in front of me.

This is the call I couldn't outrun.

This is Faith Without Works.
