140 | Run the Race: The Discipline That Shapes You
In the final message of our Hebrews series, Pastor David Maestas teaches from Hebrews 12, a chapter that calls believers to endurance, maturity, and unwavering focus on Jesus. Hebrews 12 reminds us that the Christian life is a race — one that requires discipline, perseverance, and intentionality. We are surrounded by the legacy of those who ran before us (Hebrews 11), inspiring us to keep moving forward when life feels heavy. Pastor David explores how: God’s discipline isn’t punishment — it’s proof of His love. Trials build spiritual endurance and strength. We are called to throw off the sin and distractions that slow us down. Fixing our eyes on Jesus gives us the courage to keep going. The discipline you’re experiencing isn’t God’s rejection — it’s His preparation. The race is long, but you’re not running it alone. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the One who began your story and will faithfully finish it. SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more like this!

139 | Can God Actually Use Me?
In this episode of The Living It Out Podcast, Pastor David Maestas teaches from Hebrews 11, the faith chapter, reminding us that God has always used ordinary and imperfect people to accomplish extraordinary things. Through examples like Abraham, Moses, and Daniel—men and women who “through faith subdued kingdoms, obtained promises, and stopped the mouths of lions” (Hebrews 11:33)—we see that God’s strength shines brightest through human weakness. Pastor David challenges believers to consider: If those who came before us could walk faithfully without ever seeing the fulfillment of God’s promises, how much more should we walk faithfully having already received Christ, the ultimate promise fulfilled? This message encourages listeners to: Trust God’s plan even when you can’t see the outcome. Let faith, not fear, define your story. Believe that God can use your weakness for His glory. Live with eternal perspective—obedience over outcome. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for new episodes every week!

138 | The Day Jesus Ended Religion
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas teaches through Hebrews 10, a chapter that powerfully declares the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice. Unlike the endless animal offerings of the old covenant that could never take away sin, Jesus offered Himself once for all, bringing lasting forgiveness and access to God. Because of His finished work, we are invited to draw near with confidence, knowing that our hearts are cleansed and our consciences made new. Pastor David also highlights the call to perseverance—holding unswervingly to the hope we profess and encouraging one another as we see the Day approaching. The warning against shrinking back is sobering, but the promise is greater: those who endure in faith will receive what God has promised. This passage reminds us that our confidence isn’t in ourselves, but in the one sacrifice that changed everything.

137 | Jesus' Blood Changed Everything
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas walks through Hebrews 9, where we’re given a powerful comparison between the old covenant rituals and the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus. While the earthly tabernacle and repeated animal sacrifices pointed to the need for cleansing, they were only temporary and symbolic. Jesus entered the true Most Holy Place—not with the blood of animals, but with His own—securing eternal redemption for all who believe. Pastor David reminds us that forgiveness isn’t earned through religion or repetition; it’s received through the perfect and final work of Christ. His blood doesn’t just cover sin—it cleanses the conscience and opens the way to God. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly forgiven, this chapter gives a clear and resounding answer: in Jesus, you are.

136 | The Life Upgrade You Didn’t Know You Needed
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas dives into Hebrews 8, where we see the unveiling of a new and better covenant—one not written on stone tablets, but on human hearts. The old covenant was a shadow, pointing to something greater, and now that greater reality has come through Jesus, our perfect High Priest, who ministers not in an earthly temple but in heaven itself. Pastor David reminds us that the gospel isn’t about external rules—it’s about internal transformation. God’s desire is relationship, not ritual. This new covenant brings forgiveness, access, and lasting change—not through our effort, but through Christ’s finished work. It's not just a different system—it’s a complete spiritual upgrade.

135 | Why Jesus Is Better Than Religion
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas unpacks the rich theology of Hebrews 7, where Jesus is revealed as our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. Unlike the temporary and imperfect priesthood of the Old Testament, Jesus offers something far better—permanent intercession and an unshakable hope. The old system couldn’t bring people into true closeness with God, but Jesus can. Pastor David emphasizes that we no longer need to rely on flawed systems or human mediators. Jesus is both sinless and eternal—completely able to save those who come to God through Him. This message is a powerful reminder that our hope isn’t based on religion or ritual, but on a living Savior who never stops advocating for us.

134 | The Scariest Warning in the New Testament?
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas walks through one of the most sobering chapters in Hebrews. Hebrews 6 urges believers to move beyond the basics and press into maturity. It warns of the danger of falling away after knowing the truth—highlighting that spiritual stagnation isn’t neutral, it’s a risk. This isn’t about losing salvation easily, but about the seriousness of rejecting what God has offered after fully receiving it. Pastor David reminds us that God is not unjust—He sees our faith, our perseverance, and our love. Even in the warning, there’s encouragement: those who keep moving forward in faith will inherit the promises. It’s a call to diligence, hope, and endurance. There’s no room for apathy in a life truly surrendered to Christ.

133 | Spiritual Growth Isn’t Optional
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas walks through Hebrews 5, where we’re introduced to Jesus as our compassionate High Priest—one who understands weakness and intercedes on our behalf. But the tone shifts as the writer addresses spiritual immaturity. By now, the believers should be teaching others, yet they still need spiritual milk. The call is clear: it’s time to grow up. Pastor David challenges listeners not to settle for surface-level faith. Growth requires discipline, time in the Word, and a willingness to move from comfort to conviction. If we want depth, wisdom, and lasting impact, we have to stop avoiding the harder truths of Scripture and start training ourselves for spiritual maturity.

132 | Rest Isn't Laziness
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas explores the deep spiritual meaning of rest in Hebrews 4. This isn’t about naps or vacations—it’s about the soul-level rest that comes from trusting fully in the finished work of Christ. The author of Hebrews warns that many will miss this rest, not because they weren’t invited, but because they responded with unbelief and disobedience. True rest requires faith and surrender, not striving. Pastor David also highlights the power of God’s Word, described as living, active, and sharper than any sword. Nothing is hidden from God, and it’s His truth that exposes what’s really in our hearts. The invitation is clear: stop running, stop performing, and step into the rest only Jesus can give—a rest that both comforts and convicts.

131 | How to Know If You're Drifting into Spiritual Numbness
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas walks through Hebrews 3, where the writer urges believers not to repeat the mistakes of Israel in the wilderness. Though they witnessed God’s power firsthand, their hearts became hard through unbelief and rebellion. The warning is clear: spiritual hardness doesn’t happen all at once—it forms gradually when we stop trusting, stop listening, and stop obeying. Pastor David challenges us to examine our hearts daily and to encourage one another so we don’t fall into the same trap. Faithfulness is a community effort and a daily decision. When our hearts begin to close off, we risk missing the rest and peace God has promised. The message is sobering but hopeful: there’s still time to listen, respond, and turn back.

130 | The Silent Danger of the Spiritual Drift
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas unpacks the urgent warning found in Hebrews 2: don’t drift away. The writer calls believers to pay careful attention to what they’ve heard so they don’t slowly slip into spiritual apathy. It’s not loud rebellion that pulls most people from God—it’s neglect. The chapter also highlights the humanity of Jesus, who stepped into suffering to rescue us, becoming our faithful and merciful high priest. Pastor David reminds us that spiritual drift happens when we stop listening, stop anchoring ourselves in truth, and start coasting. But Jesus didn’t coast—He came to earth, endured suffering, and paid the highest price to bring us back. This episode is a wake-up call: if Jesus didn’t ignore our need for rescue, we shouldn’t ignore His voice.

129 | Looking for a Sign? God Already Gave You One
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas unpacks the powerful opening of Hebrews, where the writer declares that while God once spoke through prophets, He has now spoken through His Son—Jesus, the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being. Hebrews 1 establishes Christ’s supremacy over angels, prophets, and all creation, making it clear that Jesus isn’t just a messenger—He is the message. Pastor David emphasizes that Jesus is the final word on who God is and how we are to live. In a world filled with shifting voices and temporary truths, this chapter calls us to anchor our faith in the unchanging authority of Christ. The question isn't whether God is still speaking—it's whether we're listening to the One He speaks through.

128 | What Are You Doing With Your Legacy?
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas explores Joshua 17, where the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh receive their land inheritance. Yet instead of embracing God’s provision, they complain that it isn’t enough. Joshua challenges them to rise up, clear the forests, and take full possession of what God has already given. <p> This moment becomes less about land and more about legacy, what will they do with the opportunity they’ve been handed? <p> Pastor David encourages us to stop waiting for easy blessings and start building a faithful legacy through obedience, courage, and action. God often gives us the promise, but we must be willing to put in the work. This episode reminds us that a lasting legacy isn’t inherited; it’s cultivated.

He reminds them of God's faithfulness and warns them not to turn away or be lured by the nations around them. Though God had clearly led them into victory, the question remains: would they continue to follow? Pastor David highlights how spiritual drift often begins subtly—through compromise, comfort, or forgetting what God has already done. This message is a timely reminder that God may lead, but we must choose daily to follow. Faithfulness isn't about one big moment of obedience, but about a lifetime of small, consistent steps in the right direction. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for more like biblical episodes this.

126 | How Fear Destroys Unity as Christians
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas explores Joshua 21–22, where the tribes of Israel receive their promised inheritance and begin to settle into the land. But when the eastern tribes build an altar near the Jordan, it sparks fear and misunderstanding among the others, almost leading to civil war. What was meant as a symbol of unity is mistaken for rebellion, revealing how quick we can be to assume the worst without seeking understanding. Pastor David uses this story to reflect on how we often build “scarecrows”—false threats based on fear, insecurity, or assumptions. Instead of confronting one another in humility and grace, we react in suspicion. This message challenges us to approach conflict with a desire for clarity and reconciliation, reminding us that peace requires communication, trust, and a willingness to see beyond appearances.

These cities point to God’s heart for mercy, justice, and redemption. Just as He provided shelter for those seeking safety, He offers us refuge in Him today. When life feels overwhelming, God remains our ultimate place of protection and peace. <p> Pastor David challenges us to reflect: Where do we run when we need security? Do we seek shelter in God, or do we rely on temporary solutions? True refuge is found in His presence, His promises, and His grace.

While these details may seem insignificant, they reveal God's precision, faithfulness, and purpose in every part of His plan. Just as He was intentional with Israel’s inheritance, He cares about the details in our lives—our struggles, decisions, and daily obedience. <p> Pastor David challenges us to consider: Are we paying attention to the small steps of faith, or only looking for big breakthroughs?

Some tribes hesitated, failing to take full possession of what God had given them, while others stepped forward in faith. <p> Pastor David highlights how we often do the same—we believe in God’s promises but struggle to fully step into them, whether out of fear, complacency, or doubt. <p> Pastor David challenges listeners to reflect on whether they are truly leaning on God’s promises or holding back. Are we trusting God for everything He has promised, or are we settling for less than His best? Just as the Israelites had to take action to receive their inheritance, we, too, must step forward in faith, trusting that God’s plans for us are good and that He will be faithful to fulfill them. <p> SUBSCRIBE for more episodes every Tuesday!

Have you ever made a decision that seemed right in the moment but later came back to bite you? That’s what happened to Israel when the Gibeonites tricked them into a treaty. Instead of asking God, they relied on their own judgment—and it cost them. How often do we do the same in relationships, jobs, or commitments, only to realize we should’ve prayed first? Even though Israel messed up, they kept their word, proving that integrity matters—even when it’s inconvenient. In today's episode, Pastor David Maestas reminds us that we won’t always get it right, but God can still work through our mistakes.

After Israel’s failure at Ai, God told Joshua, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” With sin removed, He gave them a new plan—one that led to victory. Their first defeat wasn’t final; it was a lesson in obedience. How often do we let past failures keep us from moving forward? God’s grace offers second chances, but victory comes when we follow His lead instead of our own. After the battle, Joshua built an altar, refocusing Israel on God. Their success wasn’t just about strategy—it was about surrender. The same is true for us. When we realign with God, failure isn’t the end; it becomes part of our testimony. Trust Him, obey, and watch how He turns past defeat into future victory.

Have you ever felt stuck, like something unseen is holding you back? In Joshua 7, Israel’s defeat at Ai wasn’t due to weakness but hidden sin. Achan secretly kept what God had forbidden, burying it under his tent. He thought it was his secret, but it impacted an entire nation. We do the same—holding onto resentment, dishonesty, or hidden struggles, believing they only affect us. But what’s buried in secrecy eventually seeps into our relationships, our faith, and our future. Pastor David Maestas discusses this important chapter in detail in today's episode.

In this episode, Pastor David takes us through Joshua 6, where the Israelites face the seemingly impossible task of conquering Jericho. With God’s unconventional strategy—marching around the city for seven days—they are victorious, demonstrating that victory often comes one step at a time. Pastor David highlights the importance of trusting God’s plan, even when it doesn’t make sense, and staying faithful in the midst of challenges. The Israelites' victory wasn’t won through their strength but through their obedience to God’s instructions. Pastor David encourages listeners to embrace the "one battle at a time" mindset, reminding us that God often calls us to take small, faithful steps toward His greater purpose. Whether we're facing personal struggles, relationship challenges, or spiritual battles, God's timing and plan are always perfect. We don't need to rush ahead or try to fight every battle at once. By focusing on one step at a time, we can trust that God will give us the strength we need for each day, leading us to victory in His time.

In this episode, Pastor David explores the powerful moment in Joshua 5:1-15 when Joshua encounters a mysterious figure—who turns out to be the commander of the Lord’s army. Faced with a profound question, "Are you for us or against us?", Joshua is reminded that God’s priorities don’t always align with ours. Pastor David highlights the importance of surrendering our own agendas and recognizing that God’s plan is far greater than any personal victory. Just as Joshua had to humble himself before God, we are also called to lay down our own will in pursuit of His kingdom. Pastor David encourages listeners to reflect on where we stand with God. Are we truly seeking His will, or are we merely asking Him to bless our plans? By understanding who God is and submitting to His authority, we can align ourselves with His greater purpose, stepping into victory not through our strength but through His. This passage challenges us to evaluate our priorities and reminds us that God is not just a part of our story; we are part of His.

Just as Rahab’s faith saved her and her family, we are reminded that God’s grace is available to all who step out in faith, regardless of their past.

In this episode, Pastor David Maestas unpacks the final chapter of Acts, where Paul’s journey takes him to the island of Malta after surviving a shipwreck. Despite facing a venomous snake bite, Paul’s faith remains steadfast, leading the islanders to recognize God’s power at work in him. From there, Paul continues his mission in Rome, where he boldly shares the gospel while under house arrest. Pastor David challenges us to consider the spiritual deafness Paul encountered—people who heard the gospel but refused to let it change their hearts. Through Paul’s perseverance, we see the importance of living out our faith with boldness and grace, even in the face of resistance. This chapter reminds us that the gospel message continues to move forward, regardless of obstacles, and invites us to reflect on whether we are truly listening to what God is saying in our own lives.
