One Loud Voice
One Loud Voice is a discipleship community that empowers believers to share the love of Jesus with the world. The One Loud Voice podcast is the heartbeat of our discipleship program. It's designed to inspire and equip people to live like Jesus, to be His disciples. In addition to our Bible study content, we create opportunities for people to be the hands and feet of Jesus, partnering with local churches and mission organizations to help them reach the world. We believe it is time to take the challenge of Jesus and “Go into all the world and make disciples.” Together, we can be - One Loud Voice.

Episode 51 - The Golden Rule
Show Notes
Matthew 7:7-12 NASB
Jesus is saying that we need to put our trust and reliance in God for our lives and the things we need.
This is a root issue. If we don’t trust God, then we will take control to gain what we want and need by our own efforts.
This is where things go south. Selfishness, greed, comparison, self preservation, desperation, fear, extreme need - all cause us to treat others wrong
Jesus references the law and the prophets: He reminds them of their history. This has all been spelled out and repeated, and broken, and forgotten before.
This is an old problem. We struggle to treat people like we should - because we care more about our own needs, our own wants, and our own feelings.
Micah 6:8 AMP
So how do we fulfill this commandment to treat others the way we want to be treated?
- Develop your relationship and trust in God
a. This is best accomplished by developing a daily habit of study and prayer - Identify repeated habits of failure
a. We can be our worst enemy because of wrong beliefs that we hold on to
Romans 12:2 NASB
We need the Word of God to transform us
Challenge: Do something for someone this week that you wish others would do for you.
