Ep. 117 Marks That Last (Part 2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anybody can start strong. The real question is what keeps character alive after the motivation fades. In Part 2 of the Seven Marks, Ed looks at the three that sustain all the rest: patience, Word-centeredness, and Spirit-dependence. Here is the heart of it. The marks of a principled life were never meant to run on willpower. They run on the Spirit of God in a yielded life. If you have been white-knuckling your growth, this episode is the exhale. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Patience as integrity stretche
Ep. 116 The Marks That Show (Seven Marks, Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of us want to be better people and have no clear picture of what we are aiming at. So in this episode, Pastor Snyder gets specific. Principled character has marks you can actually name and measure. This week we take the first four, the load-bearing ones: integrity, decisiveness, consistency, and accountability. We hold each one against Scripture and against ourselves, not to shame anyone, but so you can stop aiming at a blur and start growing on purpose. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Integrity as who
Ep. 115 Guard The Wellspring (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We spend so much energy managing our behavior and almost none guarding the place it all comes from. Proverbs says that out of the heart spring the issues of life. In this episode, Pastor Snyder stops trimming the fruit and goes after the root. The heart is a wellspring; it has gates (your eyes, your mouth, your feet), and you will end up living in the direction of whatever you protect. This is not white-knuckle control. It is tending the source so the stream runs clean. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Why t
Ep. 114 The Fire Didn't Make You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We tend to think hard seasons build our character. More often, the fire simply reveals what was already there. In this episode Pastor Snyder stands at the mouth of Daniel 3 with three young men who answered a king with one of the bravest sentences in Scripture, "but if not," and traces the fire back to a God who refines like gold and never leaves us in it alone. If you are in a furnace right now, you are not being destroyed. You are being revealed, refined, and accompanied. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN W
Ep. 113 Decide Before the Pressure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We tell ourselves we will rise to the moment, but under pressure we usually fall to whatever we have already decided. Daniel shows a better way. Before the king's table ever reached him, he "purposed in his heart" (Daniel 1:8, NKJV). The line was drawn in the calm, so the pressure had nothing left to bargain with. In this first episode of Living By Principle, Pastor Snyder walks through Daniel 1:8 and the Psalm 15 portrait of a settled person, and gives you one thing to decide this week before t
