Morgan Wallen's father, Tommy Wallen, has shared the 9th episode of his Tommy's Sunday Seven podcast.

The father of the country superstar releases a new episode of Tommy's Sunday Seven every Sunday on 'Morgan Wallen Radio' via SiriusXM. This week, he opened with statistics about the importance of reading the bible, as to encourage his listeners to spend adequate time reading and studying scripture.

"Data tracked by researchers such as studies highlighted by the American Bible Society, and Lifeway research, mark differences between engaging with the scripture occasionally, versus what they call 'The power of four.' If we read the bible four or more times per week, it reduces isolation. Feelings of loneliness decrease by 30%, we have better emotional control, anger issues drop by 32%, and interpersonal bitterness drops by 40%."

The Tennessee native and pastor previously touched on his experiences with alcoholism, so it seems likely he would want to give listeners that may have similar struggles hope with the statistic - "incidents of alcoholism drop by 57%." He then followed this up with a similar statistic on silencing vices through scripture reading: "viewing pornography follows by roughly 60%."

While many perceive the bible as something that holds codes for humans to gain in their life experience, many regular bible thumpers and followers of Jesus have reported more on what they've lost, such as negative feelings and behavioral habits that interfere with the joys of their lives, which is a point Tommy sought to make this episode. But instead of solely focusing on the positive losses through bible reading, he also chose to focus on the positive gains of reading scripture:

"It also has a positive effect: those who read the bible four or more times a day, a week are 228% more likely to share their faith with someone, and 407% more likely to memorize scripture."

After encouraging listeners to either begin reading the Bible more frequently, or continue their ongoing journey with scripture reading, Tommy delved into one of his main messages this episode.

"We should never believe something because someone else believes it, we should believe it because we have found it in God's word. The Bible gives us the answers we need to life, it may not be the answers we want, but it will give us the answers we need," he stated, as he attempted to encourage others to pursue God based on their own desire to know Him, and that even though the answers we find in the Bible do not always fit with the ideas we have in our heads, they provide the lessons we need.

He gave an example of this as he dived into the main verses he used for this Sunday's teaching. Quoting 2 Timothy 3:12, Indeed, all who want to live in a Godly way in Christ Jesus will be persecuted "This is definitely not an answer we want, but it's one that we need to hear," he stated.

Tommy moved dipped into Genesis chapter 3 as he described the constant battle many Christians face: the battle between good and evil. The chapter consists of one of the most famous bible stories. The first humans, Adam and Eve, are living in the Garden of Eden. They are tempted by Satan, who portrays as a serpent, to eat from the 'Tree of Wisdom,' which God specifically instructed them not to eat the fruit of. Falling into temptation, the two do so anyway, thus executing what Christians believe to be "the fall of man," which would set the stage for redemption through Jesus's sacrifice.

The long-time Christian summarizes the first case of spiritual warfare we see in the Bible, how we can retaliate in pursuit of righteousness, and how the teachings of the story relate to everyday life by stating, "As we go into Genesis chapter 3, we will see that there is a spiritual war of good and evil going on, and once we become followers of Jesus Christ, we are no longer on the evil side."

He continued on with 2 Timothy 3:14, But as for you, continue in what you've learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it.

Through 2 Timothy 3:12-14, Tommy expressed to his listeners what it means to be set apart on account of one's own faith, and the importance of staying on par with the Bible's teachings through listening to the word of God and putting it into practice, as to counteract persecution.

"This does not mean that we have to be a part of physical violence, but it may be as simple as being thought strange or hated for what we believe, and we may lose relationships with family, friends, and coworkers."

He also spends time with 2 Timothy 3:15, which reads, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. He uses this verse to express the importance of parents teaching their children the Bible, which we can only assume is a practice he used during the upbringing of Morgan Wallen himself, given his career as a pastor and dedication to Christian living.

Following up with verse 16, All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, and then verse 17, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work, Tommy uses these verses specifically to emphasize the end goal after having endured hard lessons and truths about being a Christian. If continuously followed, the Bible is a gateway for all Christians to lean into their faith, refining them to be stronger and equipped for any and all oppressions from it, setting them deeper into the paths of good work God has laid out for them.
