·38 min·3 clips

Reverend Brian Pusley confronts those who use the Bible to justify hatred, asking if God really hates who you hate.

The episode opens with Reverend Brian C. Pusley welcoming listeners to his Safe Haven Podcast and sharing updates about his ministry activities. He mentions preaching earlier that day at Reverend Charles Dockery's Emanuel Church Unusual and thanks various supporters including Reverend Dr. Homer Walker Jr. Pusley announces upcoming events: a celebration of his 20th year in ministry with Reverend Dockery as guest, and a Thanksgiving worship service on the podcast. He shares personal prayer requests for his aunt Linda Moody and invites donations and speaking requests. The main content is a recording of his sermon 'Stand Up For God' based on Romans 5:6-11. Pusley begins by reading the scripture about Christ dying for sinners while they were still weak. He connects current political events (referencing November 5th) to feelings of weakness and conviction. The sermon has three main points: you can't let losses be the end, don't let them destroy your dreams, and reconcile with God before Judgment Day. Pusley critiques religious hypocrisy, challenging those who use faith to justify discrimination. He shares personal stories including his response to 9/11 and how it led him to ministry. The host discusses his own journey from original dreams to God-given new dreams of podcasting and preaching. He calls for practical faith through community outreach rather than just church attendance. The sermon concludes with a call to stand up for God now, followed by prayer and closing remarks about upcoming podcast episodes.
