Defender Daily Devotion: Compartmentalized Faith

What if the real change in our culture started with us refusing to compartmentalize our faith—could our daily choices transform the public square?

Pastor Brian Noble shares a devotional on Romans 1:28–32, urging listeners to let God change their hearts so they can influence the public square. He explains how society’s troubles—envy, immorality, pride, unforgiveness from turning away from God, resulting in a “debased mind.” Brian emphasizes that these destructive behaviors are widely recognized as wrong, even by those who practice them, and calls Christians to live differently seven days a week, not just at church. Instead of backbiting or responding in pride, he encourages prayer, humility, and consistent godly behavior at work and in daily life. The message concludes with hope: through Jesus Christ, anyone can turn from old ways to a new, Spirit-filled life, bringing about true change in both hearts and the broader community.
