Solid Rock Youth Podcast, Season 1 Episode 4, The Jesus Story

In this episode of the Solid Rock Youth Podcast, Jocelyn and Riley continue walking through the Jesus Story series. This week, they look at the powerful moment in John 5 where Jesus heals the man at the Pool of Bethesda.

After 38 years of waiting and disappointment, Jesus asks a surprising question, “Do you want to be healed?” It is a moment that challenges not just the man in the story, but every one of us today.

The conversation explores how easy it can be to get comfortable explaining our struggles instead of responding to Jesus. The healing shows the authority of Christ, while the reaction of the religious leaders reminds us that it is possible to know the rules but still miss the Messiah.

You will also hear two powerful youth testimonies from Kallie and Finn. Their stories share how faith has shaped their lives through pain, doubt, surrender, and trust in Jesus.

Episode 4 invites listeners to read John 5 and consider a simple but important question. Are we responding to Jesus, or are we just explaining why we cannot change?
