In this episode of the "In the Red Podcast" with Anthony Hart, the host begins by welcoming both new and returning listeners, expressing the hope that the episode's title has piqued their interest. He introduces himself as a pastor, acknowledging that this might cause some to hesitate but asks for a chance to be heard. The host emphasizes that the podcast discusses topics that can help people, especially those who may have been wounded or hurt in church or by Christians. He promises to provide truth, love, grace, and a genuine connection for those seeking to figure things out.
The host acknowledges that he doesn't have all the answers and stresses the importance of continuous learning and growth for Christians. He highlights the significance of unlearning and pruning, letting go of broken concepts and methods, and remaining humble on the journey of following Jesus.
The central theme of this episode is "honor." The host observes the lack of honor in society, including political systems and church communities. He discusses how dishonorable behavior often emerges when people are attacked or in emotional situations, emphasizing the importance of genuine, ingrained honor rather than a facade.
The host touches on the current state of politics, noting the dishonorable behavior displayed by leaders from various sides of the aisle. He expresses concern about power-seeking motivations in both political and church leadership roles.
He encourages those in positions of authority and titles to act honorably, even if they have made mistakes in the past. The host believes that acting honorably can shift the focus onto those who should honor you rather than demanding it based solely on a title.
He delves into the biblical concept of honor, referencing 1 Peter 3:17, which mentions that those who revel in good behavior will be rewarded. The host emphasizes that acting honorably should be independent of the other person's actions, and it's about restoring honor to a place or position, setting a new standard, and inviting others to follow suit.
Anthony discusses the importance of honoring parents, even if they were not honorable in their actions. He explains that honoring everyone, regardless of their actions or beliefs, is a Christian responsibility. The podcast concludes with a call for Christians to pray for their leaders and to operate in a manner that reflects honor.
Throughout the episode, Anthony emphasizes the significance of giving honor, even when it may not be deserved, as an act of Christian love and a way to invite positive change in society.
