00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.740
Hey, Forever GodGirl, stop romanticizing your

00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:17.379
sin. I'm your host, Iz, and welcome or welcome

00:00:17.379 --> 00:00:20.059
back to the Forever GodGirl podcast. In today's

00:00:20.059 --> 00:00:22.160
episode, we are gonna be analyzing the trend,

00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:24.960
identifying the quote unquote aesthetic sins,

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.199
exploring the biblical reality check, and lastly,

00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.100
explain how to stop the cycle. Let's get into

00:00:31.100 --> 00:00:35.670
it. So what's the trend? Social media can make

00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:38.969
messy behavior look like a vibe. An example is

00:00:38.969 --> 00:00:41.350
unhinged behavior. The problem, though, is that

00:00:41.350 --> 00:00:43.409
we've started treating our struggles and sins

00:00:43.409 --> 00:00:46.210
like personality traits or plot points in a movie

00:00:46.210 --> 00:00:49.090
rather than things that need to be healed. Here's

00:00:49.090 --> 00:00:51.810
the truth, though. If you are more focused on

00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:55.170
how your life looks than how your soul is, you're

00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:57.450
romanticizing the very things that Jesus died

00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:00.210
to free you from. After all, it's freedom from

00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:05.250
sin, not freedom to sin. Now that we've identified

00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:08.109
the problem, now I'm going to identify and call

00:01:08.109 --> 00:01:10.670
out the quote unquote aesthetic sins and the

00:01:10.670 --> 00:01:12.989
cute names that we have for them versus the biblical

00:01:12.989 --> 00:01:16.129
reality. First up we have I'm just a yapper or

00:01:16.129 --> 00:01:18.390
I'm spilling tea when it's really just gossip

00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:20.709
and careless words. But the biblical reality

00:01:20.709 --> 00:01:23.650
is that in Matthew 12 36 it says, but I tell

00:01:23.650 --> 00:01:25.890
you that everyone will have to give account on

00:01:25.890 --> 00:01:28.170
the day of judgment for every empty word they

00:01:28.170 --> 00:01:31.200
have spoken. Next up, being a hater. Now this

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.680
one is pretty normalized in friend groups and

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.700
online, but in Titus 3 .3, The Biblical Reality,

00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:51.769
it says, Next up we have, I'm just a lazy person,

00:01:51.950 --> 00:01:54.409
or I'm in my lazy era, when that's really just

00:01:54.409 --> 00:01:56.950
lotfulness and ignoring the call of God. But

00:01:56.950 --> 00:01:59.890
Proverbs 6 -6 says, take a lesson from the ants,

00:02:00.090 --> 00:02:02.930
you lazy bones. Learn their ways and become wise.

00:02:03.409 --> 00:02:06.030
That's the biblical reality. Here's the point

00:02:06.030 --> 00:02:09.409
I'm trying to make though. Sin doesn't stay cute.

00:02:09.650 --> 00:02:13.370
It has a life cycle. Desire, sin, and then death.

00:02:13.729 --> 00:02:16.389
And it can either be physical death, spiritual

00:02:16.389 --> 00:02:19.650
death, emotional death, or mental death. Proverbs

00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:22.650
14 -12 says, there's a way that seems right to

00:02:22.650 --> 00:02:26.349
a man, but its end is the way to death. Listen,

00:02:26.770 --> 00:02:29.569
Satan doesn't always come in as a monster. Sometimes

00:02:29.569 --> 00:02:32.210
he comes as a quote -unquote Pinterest -perfect

00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:35.110
distraction that makes compromise look comfortable.

00:02:35.370 --> 00:02:37.550
Remember that even the devil masquerades as an

00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:42.870
angel of light. How do we stop the cycle? Well

00:02:42.870 --> 00:02:45.620
firstly, we gotta call it what it is. Stop using

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:48.400
slang to hide sin. If it's pride, call it pride.

00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.819
If it's lust, call it lust. Repentance starts

00:02:50.819 --> 00:02:53.939
with honesty and acknowledgement. Secondly, you

00:02:53.939 --> 00:02:56.439
gotta audit your inspo. Are the creators or shows

00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.740
that you watch making sin look glamorous or romanticizing

00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:02.039
their sin or justifying their sin? Because if

00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.300
they are, it might just be time to hit unfollow

00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:08.539
or offload. Now it's time for our special segment,

00:03:08.740 --> 00:03:11.979
hot takes. Today, we got not one, not two, but

00:03:11.979 --> 00:03:13.819
three hot takes, and I know you're gonna love

00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:17.460
them. First hot take, should I tell people if

00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:19.919
their outfits are modest? This one has a little

00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.300
bit of controversy on the internet, but I wanted

00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:25.900
to see what you would say. 80 % said yes, speak

00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:29.479
the truth and love. And then 20 % said nah, people

00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.340
have different convictions. Next up we have,

00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:35.080
is it okay for Christian girls to wear bikinis

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.990
on vacay? 0 % said yes, love a good bikini. 43

00:03:39.990 --> 00:03:43.569
% said, um, stick to the one pieces and tankinis.

00:03:44.090 --> 00:03:48.030
And 57 % said, yeah, but make sure it's not provocative.

00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:51.550
The last and final hot take we have today is,

00:03:51.930 --> 00:03:54.389
can Christians be friends with people of other

00:03:54.389 --> 00:03:57.449
religions? Now this one kind of surprised me.

00:03:57.930 --> 00:04:02.949
50 % said, yes, diversity is great. 17 % said,

00:04:03.169 --> 00:04:07.229
no, protect your faith. And 33 % said, yes, but

00:04:07.229 --> 00:04:10.379
not best friends. Now I want to know, what is

00:04:10.379 --> 00:04:13.099
your opinion on all those hot takes? If you didn't

00:04:13.099 --> 00:04:15.199
get a chance to vote, make sure you're following

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.939
us on Instagram at Forever God Girl Podcast so

00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:20.120
that you can be a part of the polls. And remember

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.420
to ask your parent or legal guardian for permission

00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:25.199
first. That was such a great special segment,

00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:27.360
but now it's time to talk about something a little

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.439
more serious and even more exciting, salvation.

00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:34.920
Here's a word from Zai. So if you have a personal

00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.189
relationship with Jesus Christ, then this message

00:04:38.189 --> 00:04:41.329
will help you. But if you don't have a personal

00:04:41.329 --> 00:04:44.610
relationship with Jesus Christ, I invite you

00:04:44.610 --> 00:04:47.329
to give your heart to the Lord today. To receive

00:04:47.329 --> 00:04:50.889
him into your heart, go to Romans 10, 9 -10.

00:04:51.230 --> 00:04:53.990
It says, If you confess with your mouth the Lord

00:04:53.990 --> 00:04:57.610
Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has

00:04:57.610 --> 00:04:59.930
raised him from the dead, You will be saved,

00:05:00.290 --> 00:05:02.730
for with the heart one believes unto righteousness,

00:05:03.449 --> 00:05:06.689
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

00:05:07.589 --> 00:05:10.930
If you said this prayer with sincerity, you are

00:05:10.930 --> 00:05:14.350
saved and now have eternal life with Jesus. You

00:05:14.350 --> 00:05:19.189
are saved from all your sins. present and future

00:05:19.189 --> 00:05:22.290
sins you may commit. This truth is not a free

00:05:22.290 --> 00:05:26.290
pass to sin anytime. Instead, Jesus gives you

00:05:26.290 --> 00:05:30.610
power over all wrong choices and empowers you

00:05:30.610 --> 00:05:33.899
to spread the gospel to others. You are saved

00:05:33.899 --> 00:05:37.399
forever, and your name is written in the book

00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:39.939
of life. Did you just give your life to Jesus?

00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.579
Because if you did, give yourself a pat on the

00:05:42.579 --> 00:05:45.160
back. I am so godly proud of you. Thank you so

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.500
much for listening to this episode. I trust that

00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:48.959
it helped you and that you learned something.

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.399
And remember, next time you're about to call

00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.959
it just a little tea, say it out loud. This is

00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.939
gossip. Next time you say, I'm in my lazy era,

00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.779
call it disobeying God's rhythm. If that doesn't

00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:02.360
sound cute anymore, that's because it never was.

00:06:03.599 --> 00:06:06.500
