Chosen, Royal, Holy, and Special – Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #197 for November 26, 2025

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments


“Chosen, Royal, Holy, and Special”

LISTEN 



1 Peter 2:9–10 (NKJV)
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people,
that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.” 

This edition of Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute emphasizes the life-changing power of identity in Christ. Speaking to believers who, like the early church, often feel marginalized or pressured by circumstances, he reminds listeners that God defines them not by their situations but by divine identity—chosen, royal, holy, and special. This God-given identity carries a purpose: to proclaim His praises and reflect His marvelous light to a dark world. Our testimony is not centered on the darkness we came out of but on the light we now live in, becoming lighthouses that guide others safely toward hope, purpose, and transformation. In knowing that we are chosen on purpose, we rejoice and live to make God known.

Ministry in The Margins: How Small Acts Have Eternal Impact

Monday, November 17, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



This message teaches that while God is great and majestic (macro), He pays the closest attention to small, compassionate acts done for people in the margins (micro), and those who consistently walk in such compassion—His “sheep”—are the ones who inherit His kingdom.

MESSAGE SUMMARY PDF

Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Jeremiah 1:3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month. 4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified[a] you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” 6 Then said I: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” 7 But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. 9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.” 11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” 12 Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”

The Light That Blinds: When Power Creates Darkness ~ Moral Clarity in an Age of Injustice

Sunday, October 19, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments


"Fragile Moment" by Simoni Symeonidou


LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE READ BY DIGITAL VOICE

 

OPINION | PROPHETIC INSIGHT

“Where there is much light, the shadow is deep.” ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 

We live in the light. We live in the shadows. 

“Much light” speaks to the spaces within our culture where people are seen thriving—places others aspire to reach. People clamor to be in the light. However, that bright light creates shadows—not necessarily spaces of darkness, but spaces where people often go unnoticed, neglected, or even abused.

While attending a recent conference, I had the pleasure of listening to presentations and conversations among practitioners with deep experience mentoring men working through very challenging circumstances—both in the light and in the shadows.

One of the speakers in his younger life had worked at Chuck E. Cheese for several years, but today leads a nationally recognized organization operating in several cities. Because life happens, he stated that it took seven years to earn his bachelor’s degree. He moved from the shadows into a good light.

Another speaker, who has executive-level responsibilities, came to serve at the conference to assist the organizer. He remarked that while his current life keeps him in the “suites” (the light), he makes it a priority to stay connected to the “streets” (the shadows). That statement stayed with me and inspired this article.

It occurred to me that this statement best exemplified the type of life we should live. It also reflects the character of Jesus, who always lifted up people in the shadows more than those in the light. It is very interesting that our culture—including much of church culture—does the opposite. We live in a celebrity culture, which is all about gravitating toward people who appear to be living in the light.

There is also the phenomenon that much light creates deep shadows. This is not a condemnation of celebrities, as many of those same people use their celebrity to help others. But there are others within our culture, living in the light of wealth and power, who build self-serving systems that create not only shadows but darkness.

When people do not have the benefit of understanding life from both the suites and the streets, they lack the capacity to know how actions and policies affect others.

The word “myopic,” in the figurative sense, describes such behavior: Someone who is narrow-minded or lacking foresight—focused only on the short term or immediate concerns, and making decisions based solely on self-interest.

From a public-policy perspective, political leaders have a great responsibility to understand the effects of their decisions on people outside their circle of light. One of the attributes of good politicians is possessing a mindset of public service. The worst mindset for a politician is self-service, or serving only like-minded citizens and special interests.

One of the good features of a healthy democracy is that those who win elections do not view others as defeated enemies but as fellow citizens—especially when no victory margin is absolute. I recall, as a young man, when politics were not as polarizing and the party that did not gain a majority characterized itself as the "loyal opposition.”

The Supreme Importance of Agency

What is important for people—especially those who feel overlooked or disrespected—is to develop and maintain something called agency.

Agency is the ability or power to act, make decisions, choose, and make things happen—to influence your own life and environment rather than being controlled by others or by circumstances.

One of the unfortunate outcomes of how systems affect people—or the manner in which people are treated—is the purposeful reduction of their sense of agency. One of the worst examples of denying people agency, as of this writing, is immigration enforcement policies targeting so-called “criminal illegal aliens.” The Supreme Court has authorized ICE agents to detain people based only on the appearance that they may resemble an undocumented person. Worse still is the presumption that someone, by his or her appearance, may be a criminal. This policy, initiated under the Trump administration, supported by Republicans, Christian nationalists, and upheld by the Supreme Court, has resulted in the arrest and traumatizing of untold numbers of United States citizens, as well as honest, hard-working persons who may not be citizens.

There is no worse example of denying a person agency than failing to respect a person’s (citizen or not) right to due process and protection from unreasonable search and seizure. This breach of our Constitution exemplifies how people in the light can create deep shadows—and even darkness—for their fellow humans. It is in effect, a form of ethnic cleansing from a cultural and religious perspective.

Much of this activity bears a disturbing resemblance to the early days of Nazi Germany, when the sense of nationalism and existential threat drove a populist movement that fueled Adolf Hitler’s rise and eventual election. While Hitler was democratically elected, he immediately moved to dismantle the checks and balances of democracy. This assertion may seem extreme, but it is a point of view in describing methods being employed by the current president and some political leaders in the United States today.

As of this writing, in my state of Indiana, the Republican governor and the supermajority of Republicans who control the House and Senate are engaged in redistricting and gerrymandering to reduce the influence of racial minorities and Democrats, with the intent of increasing their political majority and minimizing the impact of a fully representative democratic process. This same practice is ongoing in Republican-led states across the USA.

The Attack on Personal Agency

Many people in the light are forcing others into the shadows by stripping away their agency and imposing hardship. This includes reducing benefits that aid the poor, threatening free speech, reducing the influence of Black and Latino people, and redirecting funding to traditional public schools in order to transfer taxpayer funds to private schools attended primarily by families who can afford tuition. All the while, they claim that government should be smaller. It is clear that “small government” is not the true objective; rather, the goal appears to be a government designed to serve the majority while keeping minority populations in the margins.

Ultimately, there is a movement to create not only an oligarchy of a few, but a structure of white dominance—intended as a bulwark against the inevitable changing demographics of our nation. I would argue that the true intention of mass deportation policies targeting the nation’s fastest growing ethnic group, Latinos – appears designed to reduce their numbers and prevent them from attaining majority status.

This is not unlike the 19th century, when populations of enslaved people reached into the millions, potentially contributing to majorities of Black populations in some southern states. These arguments make sense when you understand that the ideology of white supremacy has never truly disappeared from the United States. People in the light who are not motivated by serving others wish to maintain their status at any cost. These are instances where this type of light creates deep shadows for others.

The Dark Shadow of Christian Nationalism

White Christian nationalism is both a political ideology and a cultural identity. It blends elements of nationalism, Christianity (particularly the politically conservative, White-centered version of Protestant Christianity), and a belief that the United States was founded as—and should remain—a distinctly “Christian nation.”

It is important to note that the nation was founded while enslaving people made in God’s image and likeness. This evil could have been excluded at the founding, yet it was embedded into the very structure of the nation. Such practices were utterly inconsistent with the character of Christ, but intentionally aligned with that distorted version of Christianity.

Core Beliefs of White Christian Nationalism

~ America as a Christian nation: Advocates claim that the U.S. was founded on biblical principles and should privilege Christianity in law, culture, and governance. Yet enslaving fellow humans (particularly Africans) was considered part of their so-called “biblical principles.”

~ White cultural dominance: It assumes that “real” American identity is tied to European ancestry, often sidelining or excluding people of color, immigrants, and non-Christians.

~ Authority and order: It frequently supports strict gender roles and strong “law-and-order” policies (law enforcement historically focused on controlling “others”), viewing these as divinely mandated.

One of the deceptions of Christian nationalism is the belief that the influence of its version of Christianity is beneficial within world systems. The Framers of the Constitution knew from firsthand experience that this notion was an illusion. Merging church and government in England, where the monarch is also the head of the Church, demonstrated over centuries that there is no form of integration between church and state that benefits either institution. In the worst cases, a king who was despotic and cruel also possessed religious authority that compelled subjects to obey without question. 

Today, the British monarchy has changed, adopting a constitutional form of government in which the monarch is head of state and generally not directly engaged in politics or religion. He or she is more of a figurehead and an emblem of stability. For these reasons, they have maintained their monarchy while avoiding despotism or authoritarianism.

Therefore, it is ironic that in the United States of America—a nation founded to reject authoritarianism through the instrument of self-government, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, formed “of the people, by the people, and for the people”—has become subject to an tyrannical and authoritarian president who does not respect the constitutional concept of three co-equal branches of government: judicial, legislative, and executive. By his actions, he demonstrates a desire to be a king. This is the worst kind of light, casting the darkest shadows.

Light Without Shadows

There is good news: The light of God does not cast shadows. Jesus said His disciples are the “light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14)

This is a light that does not cast shadows because it is not integrated within the systems of this world. Jesus said that God's kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36). In contradiction to Jesus, Christian nationalism asserts that God's kingdom can function within the world's kingdoms as a controlling influence. This is demonstrated by all the ways in which they seek to integrate their version of Christianity within civil government. This proves that they practice a version of Christianity that has nothing to do with Jesus.

The Apostle John wrote, “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1:5)

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (John 1:4–5)

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. (James 1:17)

Good and perfect gifts, and the light of God, come from “above” into darkness, so it is not possible that God's light is shining from below through governments and systems of this world, including the United States of America.

As Christ followers, our mission is to serve people in an imperfect world, win souls to Christ, and be faithful to God’s kingdom. As citizens, we participate in our democracy, elect competent people, and seek to influence public policy for the betterment of all citizens. Again, there's no merging of light with darkness or merging God's kingdom with the kingdom of the United States. The present day attempt to merge the two is not only unconstitutional, it is a grievous Scriptural error.

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light... And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:8–11)

Avoid and Embrace

So, within our perverted social and religious environment, we must re-awaken to the purposes of God. We must avoid the lesser lights that create shadows and embrace the light of God that casts no shadows.

Thank You! – Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #189 for October 1, 2025

Wednesday, October 01, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments


“Thank You!”

LISTEN


Two of the most liberating words in our language are: “Thank You!”

Hebrews 13:5 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Philippians 4:6, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Psalm 35:18, I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people. 

In Psalm 107:22 "Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy." (NIV)

THANK YOU  closes the circle of breakthrough in our lives. Lesson from the Ten Lepers: Ten were cleansed, but one was MADE WHOLE by saying "Thank You!"

Luke 17:11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

Understanding Christian Nationalism Makes Current Events Make Sense

Thursday, September 18, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



Author Note: Political violence is unacceptable. The death of Charlie Kirk was wrong and tragic. We pray for his family. This article should not be construed as disrespecting his life, which was precious—as is all human life. However, his work highlights a larger concern regarding an American version of Christianity that, historically and in contemporary times, has distorted and perverted the cause of Christ.
_________

A Historical Perspective

In his generation, Frederick Douglass summarized an “Americanized” version of Christianity in 1852:
“I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ; I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial, and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity. I look upon it as the climax of all misnomers, the boldest of all frauds, and the grossest of all libels.” (Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave)

We continue to witness Americanized versions of Christianity tailored to specific groups of people.

Defensiveness

I have interacted with White brothers and sisters who become very defensive whenever something concerning White people is mentioned. The reality is that many of the most devastating events in history, in terms of global impact, were carried out by people of European descent. However, that does not implicate every White person any more than the wrongs committed by some Black people should implicate all Black people, though we are far more accustomed to being treated as a monolith.

What we see today is not only defensiveness but also deliberate attempts to obscure and rewrite history. This is especially evident in figures like Donald Trump, who has actively sought to minimize or erase the egregious acts committed against Black people by those of European descent. Defensiveness is unnecessary because of many good deeds, but White Christian nationalism thrives on a version of history that portrays White actions as noble, heroic, and divinely inspired—even when those narratives are not factual and designed to repress others..

So we never need to become defensive about our ethnic part of the human family. Truth, especially the unpleasant parts, is always far more interesting and helpful than fabrications.

Charlie Kirk and Christian Nationalism

I have been seeking to understand the fascination with the late Charlie Kirk, since I was previously unfamiliar with his work. It seems he epitomized Christian nationalism—specifically White Christian nationalism, since this is not something widely practiced among other ethnic groups within Christianity. White Christian nationalism largely exists for cultural preservation.

I was surprised to learn that he is regarded by many as a martyr for the cause he championed. While Donald J. Trump has never pretended to be a serious Christian, Mr. Kirk fully integrated his version of Christianity and Scripture with public policy.

At this moment, it is essential to pray for his family. At the same time, the impact of his words and works should not be forgotten as much of it was rooted in Christian nationalism, which is self-serving.

Defining White Christian Nationalism

When you understand the definition of White Christian nationalism, much of the fixation on the late Charlie Kirk—and related actions—becomes clearer.

White Christian nationalism is both a political ideology and a cultural identity. It blends elements of nationalism, Christianity (particularly the politically conservative, White-centered version of Protestant Christianity), and a belief that the United States was founded as—and should remain—a distinctly “Christian nation.”

It is important to note that the nation was founded while enslaving people made in God’s image and likeness. This evil could have been excluded at the founding, yet it was embedded into the very structure of the nation. Such practices were utterly inconsistent with the character of Christ, but intentionally aligned with that distorted version of Christianity.

Core Beliefs of White Christian Nationalism

~ America as a Christian nation: Advocates claim that the U.S. was founded on biblical principles and should privilege Christianity in law, culture, and governance. Yet enslaving fellow humans (particularly Africans) was considered part of their so-called “biblical principles.”

~ White cultural dominance: It assumes that “real” American identity is tied to European ancestry, often sidelining or excluding people of color, immigrants, and non-Christians.

~Authority and order: It frequently supports strict gender roles and strong “law-and-order” policies (law enforcement historically focused on controlling “others”), viewing these as divinely mandated.

White Christian nationalism provides the ideological framework for authoritarian and anti-democratic actions carried out by the current president and the Republican Party, with overwhelming support from majorities of White American voters. The marginalization of “others” functions as a deliberate tactic to confront what is perceived as an existential threat: the projected “browning” of America as demographic shifts continue.
