- 0:02Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
- 0:03Huddle for February 21, 2026. A
- 0:07two-minute call from God's playbook to
- 0:09know him better so we can love and obey
- 0:11him more. Let's hear today's play from
- 0:13Jeremiah 13. Just as a loin cloth clings
- 0:17to a man's body, I made the whole house
- 0:20of Israel and the whole house of Judah
- 0:22cling to me, says Adonai, so that they
- 0:25could be my people, building me a name
- 0:28and becoming for me a source of praise
- 0:30and honor. But they would not listen.
- 0:34Man, let me ask you something today.
- 0:36What's the purpose of your life?
- 0:38Jeremiah tells us God wants intimacy
- 0:41with us. God didn't save Israel just to
- 0:44give them rules. He saved them to cling
- 0:46to him. Close, dependent, faithful,
- 0:50known. Christianity isn't just a
- 0:52religion. It's a relationship. God tells
- 0:55us to call him father. He calls us sons.
- 0:58The church is called the bride of
- 1:00Christ. That's not distant language.
- 1:03That's intimate language. This But sin
- 1:06broke that intimacy. Our natural bent is
- 1:09rebellion. We drift. We ignore. We
- 1:12choose our way over his. That's why
- 1:15Jesus came. Through his death and life
- 1:17and resurrection, he made peace with God
- 1:20possible. Through repentance and faith,
- 1:23we're born again, restored, adopted,
- 1:26reconciled. Now we're called to cling.
- 1:28Not occasionally, daily. Through prayer,
- 1:31through scripture, through obedience,
- 1:33through trust. Intimacy isn't emotional
- 1:36hype. It's daily faithfulness. And
- 1:39here's the mission. We cling to God and
- 1:41help others cling to him as well. That's
- 1:43the purpose of the church. The great
- 1:45commission is the mission of every
- 1:48Christian. Reconcile the world to God
- 1:50through Jesus. Teach obedience. Make
- 1:53disciples. Exalt Christ. There is one
- 1:56true God. And he has come to us in
- 1:58Jesus. To know Christ is to know God. To
- 2:01obey Christ is to honor God. To proclaim
- 2:05Christ is to glorify God. But Jeremiah
- 2:08ends with a warning. The they would not
- 2:10listen. Israel refused the intimacy.
- 2:13They drifted. They chose independence.
- 2:16What about us? Are we clinging or
- 2:18coasting? Are we pursuing God first or
- 2:21fitting him in? Run today's play. First,
- 2:24recommmit to closeness. Open your Bible.
- 2:27Pray honestly. Listen carefully. Obey
- 2:29quickly. Second, remove what weakens
- 2:32intimacy. Cut distractions. Guard your
- 2:35focus. Third, lead your home
- 2:37spiritually. Men, set the tone. Finally,
- 2:40help someone else. Cling to Christ.
- 2:43Disciple. Encourage. Share the gospel.
- 2:46Many were saved to cling to God. Not
- 2:48casually, completely. Don't drift. Don't
- 2:51ignore. Listen. Cling. Love. And let
- 2:54your life bring him praise and honor. If
- 2:57this huddle helps you know God better so
- 2:59that you can love and obey him more,
- 3:00share it with a friend and write a quick
- 3:02review. This helps other men find their
- 3:04way into the huddle.
