BACKING WORDS WITH ACTION: How to Live Out What You Believe | The Overtime Podcast - Ep. 8

What does it look like to genuinely live out your faith—not just talk about it? In Episode 8 of The Overtime Podcast, Chris and Rebecca Perstrope sit down with Mark and Jenn Perez to talk about authenticity, Christian hypocrisy, accountability, and what it means to back up our words with action. Drawing from Isaiah 29:13 and Jesus' words, we explore the difference between looking right on the outside and having a heart that truly belongs to God. We talk about how hypocrisy can damage our witness, why we need to examine ourselves before holding others accountable, and how to be authentic in our homes, workplaces, relationships, and churches. Plus, with Halloween right around the corner, we get into a conversation Christians have wrestled with for generations: How should we engage with Halloween and the surrounding culture? From Trunk or Treat and building relationships with neighbors to Romans 14 and matters of personal conscience, this conversation challenges us to lead with biblical conviction, grace, and love. BIG IDEA: A life SENT by Jesus will strive to back up words with action. MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 86:11 “Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.” Authentic faith is about more than saying the right things or looking the part. It's about letting Jesus transform our hearts so our lives reflect what we say we believe. Welcome to The Overtime Podcast—where we go beyond Sunday, dive deeper into the message, hear real stories, and talk about what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.
