What if the most urgent thing you can do today is to wake up—not to more hustle, but to the reality that God is already at work? We walk through Isaiah 51:9–52:12 and follow a sweeping arc from creation and exodus to return, redemption, and the promise of new creation. Along the way we stare down dread, remember the Maker who “stretched out the heavens,” and watch the Lord silence the sea and crush the serpent-empire that stalked his people.

We linger on the Servant—the one who can truly say, “Here I am”—and the mystery that he removes the cup of wrath so his people never drink it again. That grace is not theoretical. It lands with an invitation: put on beautiful garments, shake off the dust, loosen the chains. If redemption is this near, why linger at the door? We talk about belonging to a people who sing together, how shared worship trains courage, and why the joy of Zion is meant to be heard, not hoarded.

Then we step into our calling: to bring “good news of the good.” Not just moral noise or perpetual outrage, but a clear, spoken announcement—Your God reigns, and salvation is at hand. We explore how to speak with warmth and clarity at home, at work, and online; how to be known for hope without denying truth; and how to “come out of Babylon” by rejecting her sins while seeking the good of our city. If you’ve been drifting toward spiritual snooze, consider this your gentle shake: wake up to the God who comforts, the Christ who redeems, and the mission that gives your voice purpose. If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more people hear the good news of the good.
