🎙️ True North Nation Podcast
Episode 102: The Easy Path Always Goes Downward
Hosted by: Pastor Ed Snyder

🌍 Episode Summary:
In this powerful episode, Pastor Ed Snyder explores a sobering truth: the easy path that the world offers always leads downward—to destruction, disappointment, and spiritual death. But there is another way. The narrow, often challenging path of following God leads to life, purpose, blessings, and divine favor.

Drawing from biblical wisdom and practical insight, Pastor Ed reminds us that the road to righteousness may not be the most comfortable, but it's always worth it. If you’ve ever wrestled with choosing between what’s popular and what’s godly, this episode will equip you with clarity, conviction, and courage.

📖 Key Highlights:

• Why the world's "easy" path is deceptively dangerous

• What Jesus meant when He said “Broad is the way that leads to destruction” (Matthew 7:13)

• How to recognize the signs you’re on the wrong path

• The rewards of choosing God's way—even when it's uphill

• Practical encouragement for standing strong when culture pushes back
