The Followed By Mercy PodcastReal Grace, Honest HopeYou might notice a new name and a fresh look, but the heart behind this podcast is the same. After years as the World Evangelism Podcast, I sensed God leading me to a deeper, more personal path centered on His relentless mercy and the kind of honest hope that can reach into every hurting place. That’s why this show is now called Followed By Mercy Podcast. The format may shift, and the tone may be a bit more personal, but my mission hasn’t changed:

Who is the LORD, abundant in goodness and truth

2025/06/16

Send us a text At some point, you've probably asked yourself: who is God, really—beneath the layers of religious tradition, church talk, and cultural noise? This isn't just a theological question; it's a personal one. And in Exodus 34, God answers it Himself. When He speaks to Moses, He doesn't offer a lecture or a list of demands. He gives a self-portrait. And what does He highlight? That He is abundant in goodness and truth. That word abundant means overflowing. Packed to the brim. God isn'...

Send us a text What if everything you thought about God as Father has been shaped more by human pain than by who He really is? This Father’s Day, let’s break free from the tired religious stereotype of God as a distant, strict judge. Instead, we’ll explore the heart of our Heavenly Father—the One who loves deeper and wider than we can imagine. Maybe your view of God has been clouded by a harsh or absent earthly dad. Maybe you’ve heard that Jesus is kind and gentle, but God the Father is the s...

Beyond Your Failures

Followed By Mercy ·

2025/06/15

Send us a text Do you ever feel like your past owns you? Like your mistakes follow you everywhere and define who you are? This message will change that. When God the Father looks at you, He doesn’t see your failures. He sees His child, fully forgiven and deeply loved. Take Rahab, for example—the woman called a harlot in the Old Testament. Yet later, she’s in Jesus’ family line without mentioning her past. That shows us something amazing: God completely separates who we are from what we’ve don...

Who is the LORD Indulgent

Followed By Mercy ·

2025/06/13

Send us a text What if the God you were taught to fear is far more patient than you ever imagined? A lot of us carry around this idea of God as someone with a short fuse—quick to judge, faster to punish. But when you look closely at scripture, that picture falls apart. God didn’t lead with power or wrath when he introduced himself to Moses. He said he’s “long-suffering.” In Hebrew, that phrase points to a “long nose”—a strange image unless you know what it means. When we’re angry, we breathe...

Who is the LORD Gracious

2025/06/12

Send us a text Do you really know who your Shepherd is? Many of us grew up with a distorted picture of God—distant, disappointed, always watching for us to mess up. But what if that image isn't just off—it's completely wrong? Psalm 23 opens with a game-changer: "The Lord is my shepherd." That's not just a poetic line. It's a radical shift in perspective. David wasn't focused on himself, his enemies, or even the cave he was hiding in. He was focused on who God is. And that's the same invitatio...

Who is the LORD Merciful

2025/06/11

Send us a text Mercy Is My Shepherd What if misunderstandings have shaped your entire view of God? The opening line of Psalm 23—“The Lord is my shepherd”—isn’t just comforting; it’s confrontational. It asks: Do you really know who this “Lord” is? David wrote those words while on the run—likely hiding from his own son Absalom, who wanted him dead. In that moment of fear and betrayal, David didn’t just believe in God—he knew Him. And not as a distant force but as someone deeply personal and tru...

Send us a text The Shepherd's Pursuit: Psalm 23 Reimagined What if everything you thought about Psalm 23 was shaped more by funeral homes than by the raw, bleeding reality it came from? Picture this: a broken man crouched in a cave. He's not writing from comfort but chaos. His son wants him dead. His best friend betrayed him. The kingdom is falling apart. His heart is heavy with regret—failures as a father, husband, and king. And from that place of desperation, David writes the most quoted ps...

Send us a text Have you ever felt like you’re just not good enough for God? That’s where I found myself—completely wrecked, not just spiritually but physically. I’m battling stage four kidney cancer. It’s spread to my lungs. I’ve lost a kidney, a testicle, and both adrenal glands. And in the silence of night, when no one’s around, the darkest thoughts show up: God doesn’t love me. I’m going to die and be forgotten. My friends don’t care. Then something unexpected happened. I started me...
