  Hello. Welcome to the No Guy Coach
• 0:03
  Huddle for January 8, 2026. A two-minute
• 0:06
  call from God's playbook to know him
• 0:09
  better so we can love and obey him more.
• 0:11
  So, let's hear today's play from Acts 8,
• 0:14
  which says, "Simon saw that the spirit
• 0:16
  was given when the apostles placed their
• 0:19
  hands on them and he offered them
• 0:22
  money."
• 0:23
  Simon the magician believed. He was
• 0:25
  baptized and he stayed close to the
• 0:27
  leaders of the church. From the outside,
• 0:29
  he looked legit. But when he saw the
• 0:32
  Holy Spirit given to the apostles, he
• 0:34
  offered the money. He wanted the power
• 0:36
  without the surrender. And Peter's
• 0:38
  response is sharp, sharp, almost
• 0:41
  shocking. Your silver go to ruin and you
• 0:44
  with it. Because in the eyes of God,
• 0:46
  your heart is cooked. Here's the lesson.
• 0:50
  External association with a church does
• 0:52
  not equal internal transformation by
• 0:55
  God. Baptism didn't save Simon.
• 0:58
  Proximity to spiritual leaders didn't
• 1:01
  change his heart. His problem wasn't
• 1:03
  knowledge. It was motivation. Simon
• 1:06
  wanted what God could do for him. But
• 1:08
  God is interested in what we will do for
• 1:11
  him. Man, this hits close to home. We
• 1:13
  live in a culture, even a church
• 1:15
  culture, that can quietly turn faith
• 1:18
  into a tool to influence, comfort,
• 1:21
  provision, and recognition. Christianity
• 1:24
  isn't a strategy for personal
• 1:26
  advancement. It's a death sentence to
• 1:28
  selfish ambition, and resurrection into
• 1:31
  a life lived for God's glory. Peter
• 1:34
  tells Simon to repent, to change how he
• 1:36
  thinks about God. Prayer cannot replace
• 1:40
  repentance. Spiritual leaders cannot do
• 1:42
  the work of surrender for us. Repentance
• 1:45
  requires active, not just emotion. We've
• 1:48
  been bought not with silver or gold, but
• 1:51
  with the blood of Jesus. Baptism is our
• 1:54
  public confession that we are dead to
• 1:56
  living for ourselves and alive to
• 1:58
  serving God alone. One today's play,
• 2:02
  check your motive before you claim the
• 2:04
  mission. Ask yourself, am I following
• 2:07
  Jesus for who he is or for what I want
• 2:09
  him to do for me? Do I want God's power
• 2:12
  or God's will? Am I serving for his
• 2:15
  glory or my benefit? Lay it down today.
• 2:19
  Repent where pride has crept in. Choose
• 2:22
  obedience that cost you something and
• 2:24
  offer it to God without expecting
• 2:26
  anything in return. Because real faith
• 2:29
  isn't proven by what we receive from
• 2:31
  God, but by how faithfully we serve God.
• 2:35
  If this huddle helps you know God better
• 2:37
  so that you can love and obey him more,
• 2:39
  leave a quick review and share with a
• 2:41
  friend. It helps other women find their
• 2:43
  way to the huddle review.
