In this first episode of the ‘Faith According to Jesus’ series, we slow down with Matthew 8:5–13 and listen to how Jesus responds to a Roman centurion. Jesus says He has not found such great faith, not even in Israel. What did He see in this man? We look at three simple marks of this ‘great faith’: coming to Jesus on behalf of another, believing what we have heard about Him enough to seek Him, and trusting His word and authority without needing to see first. I also share a real area where I am learning to practice this kind of faith in my own weakness, and we end with a prayer to the Father, to Jesus, and to the Holy Spirit. This episode is for anyone who wants their idea of faith to be shaped by what Jesus actually praised.

In this episode of “But What Did GOD Say?”, we confront the anxiety around the rumored claim about Social Security being changed to “federal benefit payments” and ask a deeper question: Who has really been our Source all along? We talk honestly about why so many of us who have worked 20–40 years feel dismissed, renamed, and at risk, then bring that tension under the light of God’s Word to rediscover what He says about our labor, our identity, and our provision. We close with a focused, scripture-based prayer over us as retirees, those of us on fixed incomes, and all of us who are battling fear about our financial future.

In this episode of But What Did God Say?, we dive into Matthew 28:16-20 and unpack the phrase, “teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you.” What does it really mean to observe the words of Jesus? Is it just about hearing, or is it about guarding, keeping, and obeying what He said?

This message came from a fresh look at the Great Commission and a powerful reminder that discipleship is not just about going — it is about teaching others to live by the sayings of Christ. If we have truly heard Him, then His words must become more than information; they must become instruction.

This episode will challenge and encourage you to move beyond hearing into obedience and to see the call of Jesus in a deeper way. Because the question is not only, “What did God say?” but also, “Will I observe to do it?”

In this episode, we slow down with one loaded verse—Acts 10:38—and let it redefine what an “anointed life” really is. We see Jesus as the One the Father anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. From there, we explore four simple but deep movements: being rooted in relationship, revealing His goodness in everyday life, standing against oppression in Christ’s victory, and resting in God’s presence. Along the way, I ask an honest question for the “ladies in the back”: after hearing what Jesus was anointed to do, is it still hard to believe He did it for you? If you’ve ever wrestled with whether He is good, willing, or whether you’re really included, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, a simple moment of making the bed and humming a song became a divine setup for God to talk about filters—the unseen lenses that shape how we hear Him, see ourselves, and respond to others. In this episode, we unpack how fear, comparison, performance, and self can clog our spiritual filters, and how the Holy Spirit invites us not just to “clean up,” but to let Him change the filter completely.

If you’ve ever held back your voice or your worship because of what others might think, this episode will help you step out of performance, into authenticity, and back into the flow of honoring the Lamb with your life.

In this episode of “But What Did GOD Say?” we dive into Psalm 107 and the call: “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” We trace the four portraits in the psalm—the wanderer, the prisoner, the sick, and the sailor in the storm—and see the same pattern in each story: they cried, God heard, and He rescued. From there, we explore what redemption really is, not as self‑improvement, but as deliverance from enemies we could never defeat on our own—sin, death, and the powers of darkness—through the blood of Jesus.

You’ll also hear a personal testimony about learning that “a closed mouth does not get fed,” and how opening our mouths to share what Christ has done actually brings us into deeper freedom and intimacy with Him. The episode closes with guided reflection questions to help you locate yourself in Psalm 107 and take a practical step toward “saying so” this week, followed by a prayer asking Jesus, our Redeemer, to give us courage to speak and to use our simple words for His glory.

In this episode, we talk about learning to live in the awareness of God’s holy presence in the middle of ordinary life. Our focus often settles horizontally—on people, opinions, circumstances, and even ourselves—and our inner lens starts to cloud. What begins as worship can drift into evaluation, and what begins with Jesus can quietly become all about what others are doing or how we feel.

Through Scripture, we see how judgment, comparison, and self-focus disturb our peace, and how looking unto Jesus renews our minds and clears our vision. As we turn our gaze back to Christ, a present reality becomes clear: He is holy, and He is with us. From the garden in Genesis to the promise of Revelation, God’s intent has not changed—God with His people.

This episode invites us to let the Lord search our hearts, shift us from horizontal distraction to vertical focus, and practice simple, biblical steps that help us live each day in the light of His holy presence.

In a season where so many of us are carrying real pressure—health concerns, family strain, financial stress, hard decisions, long waiting seasons, and deep weariness—Hebrews gives us a steady anchor: “We are not of those who draw back.” In this episode, we read Hebrews 10:38–39 in context and walk through what it means to live by faith, what “draw back” looks like in real life, and what “unto perdition” and “to the saving of the soul” actually mean. Then we connect the passage to our victory in Christ: Jesus has overcome the world, and in Him we are more than conquerors and overcomers—not by willpower, but by faith in His finished work.

What did Jesus mean when He said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6)? In this episode, we explore how that hunger and thirst is ultimately for Jesus—the Bread of Life and the Living Water (John 6:35; John 4:14). We also clarify what “righteousness” is: not self-made goodness, but right standing with God that we receive in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). Then we bring it into everyday life—what it looks like to seek God’s Word, choose integrity, forgive, and stop feeding on what leaves us spiritually dry.

In a world that rewards hustle and speed, many of us are building nonstop—and still feel unsteady. So we start where Scripture starts: “Unless the LORD builds the house…” (Psalm 127:1). That verse doesn’t condemn work—it exposes the difference between labor that lasts and labor that becomes vain.

From there, we listen to Jesus as the Builder in Matthew 16, and we follow what the Word shows about what He builds, how it grows strong, and what our part looks like as we yield to His Word and His Spirit. If you’ve been striving to hold everything together, come sit with the Scriptures and let the Lord reset the foundation.
