In John 11, we walk through one of the most powerful moments in all of Scripture — the death and resurrection of Lazarus. Why did Jesus wait? What does His response teach us about suffering, faith, grief, and the glory of God? And what did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the resurrection and the life”?

In this Bible study, we break down the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus verse by verse and look at the deep spiritual truths found in this chapter. We also discuss one of the shortest yet most meaningful verses in the Bible: “Jesus wept.”

Whether you’re walking through a difficult season, wrestling with unanswered prayers, or simply wanting to grow deeper in your understanding of Scripture, John 11 is filled with hope and encouragement.

🙏 Topics Covered:

* Why Jesus delayed coming to Lazarus

* Faith during suffering and waiting

* The meaning of “I am the resurrection and the life”

* Jesus weeping with those who mourn

What if you could see… but still miss the truth right in front of you?

In this episode, we break down one of the most powerful miracles in the Gospel of John—when Jesus heals the man born blind. But this chapter is about way more than physical sight. It’s about spiritual blindness, pride, and what it really means to see Jesus for who He is.

The religious leaders had perfect vision… yet they couldn’t recognize the Son of God standing right in front of them. Meanwhile, a man who had never seen anything ends up seeing more clearly than all of them.

This chapter will challenge you to ask:

* Am I truly seeing Jesus… or just going through the motions?

* Is pride keeping me spiritually blind?

* What happens when Jesus opens your eyes?

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, truth, or what it really means to follow Christ—this one hits deep.

**In this episode:**

* The healing of the blind man (John 9:1–12)

* The Pharisees’ response and spiritual blindness

* Bold faith in the face of pressure

* What it means to truly “see” Jesus

In this episode of Rooted & Raised, we break down one of the most intense and controversial chapters in the Gospel of John — Chapter 8.

From the woman caught in adultery…

to Jesus declaring “I am the Light of the World”…

to one of the boldest statements He ever made: “Before Abraham was, I AM.”

This chapter forces a decision.

👉 Are you walking in truth… or just believing you are?

👉 Are you actually free… or still a slave to sin?

We dive into:

What true freedom really means

Why truth offends people

The difference between belief and discipleship

And how this applies to your life right now

This isn’t just theology — this is personal.

🎧 Listen, reflect, and ask yourself:

Where do I actually stand with Jesus?
