In this episode of the 2717 Podcast, we break down the life-changing principles from Atomic Habits and explore how small, consistent actions can transform your life. From identifying negative habits to creating new ones, we share practical strategies, biblical truths, and personal stories to help you become the person God has called you to be.
James Clear says, “You don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your habits.” The Bible confirms this truth in Ephesians 4:22–24, which reminds us to “put off your old self… to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
In this episode we cover:
How to identify and replace negative habits.
The power of “habit stacking” for spiritual growth and personal success.
The four laws of behavior change and how to apply them biblically.
Why your habits shape your identity and legacy.
Practical ways to start small, stay consistent, and walk in freedom.

In today’s episode, “Blessed Vs. Cursed,” we explore a challenging but powerful biblical truth: it is possible to be saved by Christ and still live under the weight of curses we’ve come into agreement with.
The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 26:2 that “Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.” This means that while salvation through Jesus secures our eternity (Romans 10:9–10), we can still experience bondage, setbacks, or generational struggles if we allow agreements with curses—spoken, inherited, or self-imposed—to remain unbroken.
We’ll unpack:
The difference between being eternally saved and living fully free.
How words, mindsets, and agreements can open doors to curses.
Biblical steps to renounce curses and walk boldly in Christ’s blessing.
Jesus has already paid the price for our freedom (Galatians 3:13), but we must actively partner with His truth to break agreements that keep us bound.

Love isn’t just a feeling — it’s a choice, an action, and sometimes the hardest test we’ll ever face. In this episode of the 2717 Christian Podcast, we dive into what it truly means to love unconditionally, and how real love is proven through conflict, hardship, change, and daily choices.
From 1 Corinthians 13 to personal stories of marriage, family, and faith, we share how agape (unconditional) love holds strong when feelings fade and life gets difficult.
In this conversation we explore:
The difference between conditional and unconditional love (agape)
Why marriage and relationships require daily sacrifice, not just emotions
How to handle conflict with grace, forgiveness, and compassion
Why hardship and trials refine love into something unshakable 💎
