Guests: The Entire Panetti Family!
Our family has been selecting a “Word for the Year” for quite a while and I wanted to share this process with each of you because I really believe it can be such a valuable and rewarding experience - honestly, the process of looking for the word is, in my opinion, the most valuable part - spending time in God’s Word and in prayer and expectation - asking God what He wants to do with you this year, considering ways that you can and should grow in maturity and grace, and actually reflecting on God’s goodness and provision over the past year - it’s such a rewarding and wonderful exercise for every believer! I hope that this becomes an annual tradition in your life as it has in ours.

I believe that too many men fail to make significant and meaningful plans for the future because they either falsely believe that they are “fine” and don’t really need to change…or they’ve tried the world’s concept of temporary changes and are tired and disappointed with the lack of true purpose. Well, that is a great set up for my word for 2026 - Purpose, that I took from Psalm 57:2 where God’s Word says, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.”
Did you know that God Most High HAS a purpose for YOU? He does. And He wants you to know Him, know His plan, and live in such a way that you advance His purpose for your life. If you are looking at your goals for 2026 with that mindset, asking God what He wants to do in and through you, your goals will reflect a much different concept than just self-promotion.
Guys, my prayer for you is that you do the hard work of preparing yourself to truly know God…and make Him known through your life - all that you say and do would be a reflection of His goodness and glory for the world to see. Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 5 that they “are the light of the world.” I think you can agree with me that this dark world needs more lights…lights that shine brightly and point the way to the hope that is Christ Jesus! As you look at all the Christmas lights on your Christmas tree - that’s exactly what they are doing…pointing you upward toward heaven to see the true Light of the World!
Praying for you to have a Merry Christmas - and to prepare yourself for an incredible New Year - ask what God wants to do with your life…and then walk in a manner worthy of your calling in the coming days ahead!

In Democracy in America, French writer Alexis deTocqueville makes the statement that democracy/liberty enables men to do “great things.” But, he also emphasizes that America’s top priority shouldn’t be producing men who can do great things, but producing “great men.” What makes a “great man”? As you consider your goals and “Word for the Year” consider what you’re pursuing - great things…or being a great man? Proverbs 22:1 tells us that a good name is to be chosen rather than great riches - so there is a choice to be made, a decision, a direction that differs between the two end goals - which will you choose to pursue?

Psalm 57:2
I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
God is at work…what is HIS purpose for YOUR life? Don’t get caught in the comparison game of temporary things, seek the greater good of a bigger God who has designed you for His good works…and walk in them…meaning that you need to move at God’s speed, not the hurried pace of this world to enjoy God’s purposes being revealed and perfected in your life. Men, don’t miss this - your eternal rewards are tied to your eternal investments into God’s purposes for your life.

Is your home a peaceful and nourishing place - what can you do to make it a more inviting environment? The change you want…starts with YOU! In Jeremiah 13 there is a profound question - can an Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? The idea is how can a person change who they are - and this is the idea that God offers you a new life, to be born again, transformed into a new creature in Christ - all amazing concepts that begin with accepting the free gift of God’s grace by faith made available through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ! From there…get plugged into a good Bible-teaching church and SERVE others - and I believe that your environment will begin to change…as you do!

Comparing Feedings of the 5000 and 4000
5000
- Jewish
- 5 could represent Torah/Law - Jewish
- 1000 could represent everyone - multiplication…
- Jewish boy had the bread - Jesus
- Crowd told to go sit on green grass - seed (Jesus) had already come to the Jews
- 12 baskets of leftovers gathered after people satisfied - represents the 12 tribes of Israel
4000
- Gentile
- In between the two stories - the story of the Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith
- Let the children be fed FIRST
- Not right to take the children’s BREAD and throw it to the dogs
- Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs…
- 4 could represent the 4 cardinal directions - NESW - to represent ALL people of the earth
- 1000 could represent everyone - multiplication…
- Disciples had the bread - they were Jewish, Gentiles didn’t have access to him yet…
- Crowd told to go sit on the ground - the seed (Jesus/Gospel) hadn’t been tossed out, taken root, and grown yet…
- Ok for dogs to sit on the ground…
- 7 baskets of leftovers gathered after people satisfied - could represent the 7 days of creation - the entire world - the Messiah is for everyone - the whole world…
Genealogy of Jesus in Matthew…
Abraham
Isaac
Jacob (twin, but Esau not mentioned, line doesn’t go thru him)
Judah and his brothers (mentioned, but not by name, line doesn’t go thru them)
Perez and Zerah (Zee-rah)
- Twins - both mentioned, by name
- Line goes thru Perez
- Why are both names mentioned?
- I think it has to do with the meanings of their names…

Guest: Jack Cassels
Great conversation with one of my nephews, Jack Cassels, who came prepared to share how faithful God has been on his journey and some of the great life lessons he’s learned along the way. Love how Jack uses God’s Word as his guide for life and submits himself to its authority. Love how Jack has intentionally built authentic community and accountability in his life. And love how Jack loves the Lord, his family, and life! Listen and learn.

I really enjoyed this meaningful conversation with Chas about the power and influence of suffering and the importance of finding your true God-given identity to counter the lies from the world. We talked about the book Living Fearless: Exchanging the Lies of the World for the Liberating Truth of God by Jamie Winship and we would both highly recommend that you either take a listen or grab it and read it.
