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?

And yet… no one can lay a hand on Him because His time had not yet come.Why?We dive into what Jesus meant when He said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink,” and how so many people completely missed who He really was—even while standing right in front of Him.This chapter challenges us in a big way:Are we judging by appearance… or seeking truth?Are we going through the motions… or actually coming to Jesus?If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, confusion, or trying to understand God’s timing—this one is for you.🔥 Key Topics:* Why they couldn’t arrest Jesus* What “His hour had not yet come” really means* The meaning of “living water”* How people missed Jesus right in front of them* Judging rightly vs judging by appearanceIf this episode encouraged you, make sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and share it with someone who needs it.#biblestudy #john7 #christianpodcast #faith #jesus #scripture

Michigan could be on the verge of a major deer hunting change — moving from a 2 buck tag system down to just 1. But nothing is finalized yet… and the decision is coming soon.

In this episode, I sit down with Dave Buikema from Razor Broadheads to break down what’s actually happening, why it’s being considered, and what it could mean for hunters across the state.

Is this the right move for herd management and hunting quality… or is it taking opportunity away from everyday hunters?

We cover:

Why Michigan is considering going to a 1 buck limit

The potential impact on deer populations

How this could change hunting strategy

What hunters on BOTH sides are saying

What happens next with the vote in May

This is one of the biggest potential rule changes we’ve seen in a long time — and it directly affects YOU if you hunt Michigan.

👇 Let me know in the comments:

Would you support Michigan going to a 1 buck rule?
