In Part 2 of Dirt: Rethinking Evil, we explore why evil isn’t a dark rival to God—it’s dirt that doesn’t belong in the house. Through Genesis, Leviticus, and real-life examples, we learn how to recognize distortion, clean it with truth, and live in alignment with the God who makes us whole.

WEEKLY REFLECTION

• Where am I currently collecting dirt from something that started as God’s gift but has become distorted in my life or leadership?(Example: ambition turned into anxiety, discipline turned into control, grace turned into passivity.)
• When you run any situation of disorder through a simple truth test, what do you see?
  • Does it fit?
  • What fruit will result?
  • Does it lead to a free mind in Christ?
  • What do my wisest community members think?

In this episode, we kick off the new series Dirt: Rethinking Evil with a fresh perspective: evil isn’t an equal rival to God—it’s dirt that doesn’t belong in the house. Through the story of Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles 29, we learn how to clean with truth, guard with wisdom, and extend with unity so we can live and lead from clarity instead of fear.

WEEKLY REFLECTION:

• CLEAN: What’s one area of your life or leadership where you sense “dirt” has built up and needs to be cleaned out this week?
• GUARD: What boundary or guardrail do you need to put in place to keep new “dirt” from slipping back in?
• EXTEND: Where is God calling you to extend light and goodness—beyond just keeping your own house clean—so that darkness is pushed back in your community or team?

Arrival is a myth. The moment we believe we’ve gone far enough is often when compromise begins. In this episode, we look at David’s turning point in 2 Samuel 11 and unpack why real leadership means staying awake to growth—resisting the idols, ideologies, and imitations of “arrival” to keep moving with God through every season of rest and risk.

WEEKLY REFLECTION:

• Where in your leadership have you slipped into maintenance mode by protecting what you’ve built instead of pressing into what’s next?
• What specific part of your character, skills, or vision feels dull right now and how will you cooperate with its sharpening this week?
• How can you practice the tension of holding gratitude for what God has done while still leaning forward into the next stretch of growth?
