On a recent trip to the United Kingdom, host Tosha Williams encountered velvet ropes at the crown jewels, barricades in palaces, and secret service agents keeping the royalty removed from civilian reality. These real encounters with earthly monarchy frame a deeper truth: Jesus is the kind of King who draws seekers near. From the Tower of London to Windsor and an unexpected brush with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the contrast sets the stage for the Magi’s journey and a fresh look at what it means to seek and find. For the truth is, in Jesus, we discover a King who removes the distance. 

We unpack who the Magi were and why they took the star seriously, and we also consider how Jeremiah 29:13 becomes a lived promise for anyone willing to move from curiosity to commitment. Along the way, we highlight a striking detail from Matthew’s Gospel: Gentile outsiders become the first recorded worshipers of Jesus, signaling a kingdom where access isn’t gated by status. This is not a museum of faith where you watch from behind glass. It’s an open invitation from a King who welcomes the far-off first.

From there we get practical. We walk through a Seek Him Speak Him rhythm with simple questions that turn Scripture into conversation and courage into action. You’ll hear how to share what you’re seeing with your kids, a friend, or someone who feels far from God, and why telling your story matters more than polished words. We also share our “Wise Man Hunt,” a joyful tradition that turns your space into a map of pursuit and discovery - - - perfect for families, small groups, or anyone who wants a tactile reminder that the path to Jesus is open and the welcome is warm.

If you’re hungry for a faith that closes the gap between longing and presence, this conversation will help you take the next step. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find a King who says, “Come closer.”
