Day 1065 Defiled or Devoted: What Are You Producing? Episode 98

It’s not what you consume that defines you—it’s what you produce.”Today on the podcast, we’re diving into a hard truth straight from the words of Jesus in Mark 7:18–20. And it might just flip the way you think about your body, your worship, and your walk with God.
For a long time, I thought the battle was in what I was consuming—what I ate, drank, or allowed in. But Jesus makes something crystal clear: what goes into your body isn’t what defiles you. It’s what comes out of you that reveals what’s really going on in your heart.
"This morning in my Bible stack, I heard it loud and clear. My body is the temple of the Lord. It’s not just a shell. It’s not just a vehicle. It’s the gateway to worship. And what I produce through this body—my energy, my actions, my words—either brings glory to God or defiles what He has entrusted to me.
See, we live in a world that obsesses over what goes in. But Jesus flips the script. He says, “Watch what comes out.” Are your actions holy? Are your words building or breaking? Is your work done as a living sacrifice or a lazy excuse?
This is about stewardship. This is about worship. And it starts in the mirror.
Call to Action:So here’s the question I leave you with: Are you defiling or honoring God’s temple?
Look at your life. Look at your fruit. What’s flowing from your heart and your body?
Because the truth is—what comes out of you is the clearest reflection of what you believe.
