The 44
The 44 takes root through Matthew 4:4 - “Man cannot live on bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Each week we will feast on the words that come forth from the mouth of God by looking to the Bible.

Desensitized to Sin

Episode 47
In this episode, we eat on how sin slowly desensitizes the heart using a striking illustration of an Eskimo’s blood-covered blade and the fatal numbness it creates. Drawing from biblical examples like David, Solomon, and the sons of Eli, we look at how even God’s people can drift into spiritual callousness through small compromises. We then ties this into the theme of last week's episode, “Faith Remembered, Failures Forgotten,” and see that while grace restores the repentant, it never excuses ongoing numbness to sin. The episode concludes with four practical, scripture-rooted steps to re-sensitize the conscience and return to a tender, responsive walk with God.
