  Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
• 0:03
  Huddle for January 1st, 2026.
• 0:07
  A two-minute call from God's playbook to
• 0:09
  know him better so we can love and obey
• 0:11
  God more. Let's hear today's play from
• 0:14
  Isaiah 1, which says, "Hear heaven,
• 0:16
  listen, earth, for Adoni is speaking. I
• 0:20
  raised and brought up children, but they
• 0:23
  rebelled against me. An ox knows its
• 0:26
  owner, a donkey its master stall. But
• 0:29
  Israel does not know. My people do not
• 0:31
  reflect. Oh sinful nation, a people
• 0:34
  weighed down by iniquity, descendants of
• 0:37
  evildoers, immoral children. They've
• 0:40
  abandoned Adoni, spurned the Holy One of
• 0:44
  Israel, turn their backs on him. Wash
• 0:47
  yourselves clean. Get your evil deeds
• 0:50
  out of my sight. Stop doing evil and
• 0:53
  learn to do good. Seek justice. Relieve
• 0:56
  the oppressed. Defend orphans. Plead for
• 1:00
  the widow. God is talking to his own
• 1:02
  people here. Not the pagans. Not the
• 1:05
  nations that don't know him. His
• 1:07
  children. The ones who carry his name
• 1:10
  but have turned their backs on his ways.
• 1:12
  That's a mirror for us. In America, the
• 1:15
  story often starts with pilgrims seeking
• 1:17
  freedom to worship God without
• 1:19
  government control. building churches,
• 1:22
  shaping a culture where honoring God was
• 1:24
  normal. Over time, we've sent money and
• 1:27
  missionaries around the world to preach
• 1:29
  the gospel and serve the suffering. But
• 1:32
  today, our public life tells a different
• 1:34
  story. Corruption, scandal, injustice,
• 1:37
  and immorality fill our headlines. God's
• 1:41
  standards are mocked. Christian ethics
• 1:43
  are pushed out of the public square. And
• 1:46
  many leaders across politics, business,
• 1:49
  education, and media live as if God
• 1:52
  doesn't matter at all. And here's the
• 1:54
  truth that it's not just a world
• 1:56
  problem. It's a church problem. Large
• 1:59
  parts of the church have chosen comfort
• 2:01
  over conviction, compromise over
• 2:04
  courage. Instead of calling the culture
• 2:06
  to obey Jesus, we've blended into the
• 2:09
  culture and softened his commands. We
• 2:12
  say we belong to God, but we often live
• 2:14
  as if he's an option. In Isaiah, God
• 2:17
  doesn't start by telling the world to
• 2:19
  change. He tells his people, "Wash
• 2:22
  yourselves clean. Stop doing evil. Learn
• 2:25
  to do good." God is calling us back to
• 2:28
  obedience, not opinion. So, brother,
• 2:31
  let's run today's play. First, repent
• 2:34
  personally. Ask God where you've turned
• 2:37
  your back upon him. It's is it in your
• 2:39
  habits, your entertainment, your
• 2:41
  bitterness, your compromise at work,
• 2:44
  your passivity at home? Name it. Confess
• 2:46
  it. Don't excuse it. Second, practice
• 2:50
  costly obedience. Do not consecrate
• 2:53
  things today that reflect that don't
• 2:55
  reflect God's heart. Make something
• 2:57
  right when something where something
• 2:59
  you've wronged. Encourage or help
• 3:01
  someone who's vulnerable or overlooked.
• 3:04
  Lead your family in prayer and scripture
• 3:06
  instead of scrolling or zoning out.
• 3:08
  Speak truth where you've been silent.
• 3:10
  Third, live what you believe. Don't just
• 3:13
  complain about where the country's
• 3:14
  headed. Be a man who actually loves God
• 3:17
  with all of his heart, soul, mind, and
• 3:19
  strength, and loves his neighbor as
• 3:21
  himself. Starting in your own home, your
• 3:24
  own church, and your own neighborhood.
• 3:26
  God is still speaking to his people. My
• 3:28
  people do not reflect. The question is,
• 3:31
  will we start reflecting him again? If
• 3:34
  this huddle helps you know God better so
• 3:36
  you can love and obey him more, then
• 3:38
  leave a quick review and share it with a
• 3:40
  friend and that helps other men find the
• 3:42
  huddle. God one.
