David’s Loyalty, God’s Power | Patience, Forgiveness & Spiritual Warfare - EP 20

Jam sits down with Marshall Blanchett for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with “Kingdom Business 1st” and moves into leadership, patience, spiritual growth, family, fitness, and “Guts & Guns.” Marshall shares that his patience has been tested lately—and that a shift in his social media feed toward scripture has unexpectedly pushed him to open a Bible and actually read verses for himself. Jam connects that to real-world leadership pressure: customers, employees, family life, and the daily “I want it now” struggle. Jam then opens up about his own back pain journey (facet joint issues, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation) and frames healing as something that can involve both prayer and modern medicine. A major turning point of the episode is forgiveness: Jam reflects on the Lord’s Prayer (“forgive us… as we forgive…”) and the conviction that we can’t ask God for what we refuse to give others. He follows with the “Prayer for the Beginning of the Day” (St. Philaret of Moscow), emphasizing the line about behaving “sincerely and reasonably towards everyone… that I may bring confusion and sorrow to no one”—and applies it to workplace leadership and consistent standards. From there, the episode centers on King David: Why “a man after God’s own heart” does not mean sinless perfection, but a responsive, repentant heart. The contrast between Saul’s image-preserving leadership and David’s God-enthroning leadership. David and Goliath as a picture of visible power vs hidden power—faith in the Lord vs intimidation, armor, and weapons. An Orthodox lens: spiritual warfare today (passions, temptations) fought with prayer, repentance, fasting, and a life rooted in Christ. Marshall adds a practical warning about temptation: the enemy doesn’t come with a chain—he comes with a “link,” and we forge the chain ourselves. Jam mirrors it with a story about selling “one nail” in a wall—then the enemy hangs something rotten on it and ruins the whole house. The back half of the episode becomes personal: Marshall shares his slow return toward faith (early church experiences, later distance, renewed hunger after marriage and having a child, reading Scripture again, and listening to Bible content). Jam encourages him: church isn’t for people who have it all together—it’s a hospital for the sick. They close with “Guts & Guns”: long-range interest, getting Marshall out to the range, 300 Blackout builds, hunting prep, and Jam’s renewed push to make fitness non-negotiable again.
