- 0:02Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
- 0:03Huddle for February 13, 2026. A
- 0:07two-minute call from God's playbook to
- 0:10know him better so we can love and obey
- 0:12him more. So, let's huddle up and hear
- 0:14today's play from Jeremiah 4, which
- 0:17says, "Israel, if you will return, says
- 0:19Adoni, yes, return to me. And if you
- 0:22will banish your abominations from my
- 0:24presence without wandering astray again.
- 0:27And if you will swear as Adonai lives in
- 0:30truth, justice, and righteousness, then
- 0:33the nations will bless themselves by
- 0:35him, and in him they will glory. For
- 0:38here is what Adonai says to the people
- 0:40of Judah and Jerusalem. Break up your
- 0:43ground that hasn't been plowed, and do
- 0:45not sow among thorns. People of Judah
- 0:48and inhabitants of Jerusalem, circumcise
- 0:51yourselves for Adonai. Remove the
- 0:53foreskin of your heart. Otherwise, my
- 0:56fury will lash out like fire, burning so
- 1:00hot, no one can quench it because of how
- 1:03evil your actions are. Man, let me ask
- 1:06you something today. What if the real
- 1:08problem in America isn't Washington,
- 1:11it's our hearts? Jeremiah 4 says,
- 1:13"Return to me. Break up your unplowed
- 1:16ground. circumcise your hearts or my
- 1:18fury will burn like fire. God's not
- 1:22calling for surface change. He's calling
- 1:25for heart change and that starts with
- 1:27people. As we approach 250 years as a
- 1:31nation, there's a lot to celebrate.
- 1:34America was deeply shaped by biblical
- 1:36principles. Our founders, even with
- 1:38theological differences, recognize the
- 1:41authority of God and the moral clarity
- 1:44of scripture. Christian conviction
- 1:46shaped law, culture, and compassion.
- 1:49Historically, America has done a
- 1:51tremendous amount of good in the world
- 1:53and continues to this day, largely
- 1:56because of its Christian roots. But
- 1:58here's the hard truth. We've drifted and
- 2:01the drift isn't first political, it's
- 2:04spiritual. The church has grown
- 2:06comfortable, passive, quiet. We were
- 2:08told to make disciples, to teach
- 2:10obedience, to proclaim repentance, to
- 2:13form men and families who loved God with
- 2:16all their heart, soul, mind, and
- 2:17strength. Instead, we pursued comfort
- 2:20over courage. And when the church goes
- 2:22silent, culture grows cold. Jeremiah
- 2:25says, "Break up your hard ground."
- 2:27That's agricultural language. Hard soil
- 2:30can't receive seed. A hard heart can't
- 2:34receive truth. You cannot sew
- 2:36righteousness into a heart packed tight
- 2:38with pride, compromise, and distraction.
- 2:41Revival doesn't uh begin in Congress. It
- 2:44begins in living rooms, but it begins in
- 2:46fathers and it begins in men who repent.
- 2:50God says, "Circumcise your hearts." That
- 2:52means remove what dulls you to God. Cut
- 2:54away that numbs conviction. Deal with
- 2:57the compromise and deal with a secret
- 2:59sin. deal with a spiritual laziness
- 3:02because judgment always follows
- 3:04persistent rebellion. But mercy follows
- 3:08repentance. Men, if we want
- 3:09righteousness to rise in our nation, it
- 3:12must first rise in us. If we want
- 3:14justice in the public square, we must
- 3:16pursue holiness in the private place. If
- 3:19we want leaders who honor God, we must
- 3:21become men who obey God. So run today's
- 3:25play. First, break up your own ground.
- 3:28Ask where is my heart hard? And second,
- 3:31lead your home spiritually. Open
- 3:33scripture, pray, teach, and model
- 3:35obedience. Third, strengthen your
- 3:38church. Don't consume, contribute. And
- 3:41finally, speak with courage and grace.
- 3:43Not anger, not arrogance, but
- 3:45conviction. God's still saying, "Return
- 3:48to me." Not symbolically, not
- 3:50politically, personally, fully. Men,
- 3:53don't wait for national revival. Start
- 3:56personal revival. Break up the hard
- 3:58ground and let righteousness rise. Men,
- 4:01if this huddle helps you know God better
- 4:03so you can obey him more, share it with
- 4:06a friend and leave a comment. This helps
- 4:08other men find their way in to the
- 4:10huddle.
