What is the meaning of life?

Big question, I know. But it’s one we’ve all asked in some form.

What’s the point of all this?

Why am I here?

What does it all mean?

And maybe deeper still—what does God think about me?

In this episode of The Wilderness Devotional, we sit with the opening line of John’s Gospel, a passage that shaped how the early church saw Jesus… and how we’re meant to see Him too.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

— John 1:1

But for many of us, this verse doesn’t feel clear—it feels cryptic. What is “the Word”? Is it the Bible? A concept? A Greek term lost to time?

I share how, as a kid, I pictured a giant flying Bible flapping its leather wings across space. That was my understanding of “the Word.”

But over time, I came to see something far deeper, far more beautiful. Something that changed my whole view of what God is actually saying.

This episode is for anyone confused by the chaos of Scripture, or the silence of God.

It’s for the one who’s asking: If God could just say one thing to me… what would it be?
