In this episode of Rooted, we walk through Revelation 22 and the breathtaking picture of the New Jerusalem, the river of life, and a world fully restored by God.

    Revelation 12 pulls back the curtain on one of the most intense scenes in all of Scripture: a cosmic war between the dragon and the Lamb. In this episode of Rooted, we walk through the spiritual battle happening behind human history and what it means for believers today. From Satan’s accusations to the victory secured by the blood of Jesus, this conversation explores how Christians overcome not through strength or perfection, but through Christ’s finished work and faithful testimony. If you’ve ever wrestled with shame, fear, spiritual warfare, or what it really means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, this episode is a reminder that the enemy is real—but the Lamb has already won.

  • Episode 164 (Revelation 5)

    In this episode of Rooted, we step into the breathtaking scene of Revelation 5, where all of heaven waits for someone worthy to open the scroll that holds the future of the world. As John watches in despair, Jesus appears—not only as the conquering Lion, but as the slain Lamb who gave His life to redeem humanity. Together, we unpack what it means that Jesus conquered through sacrifice, why heaven erupts in worship around Him, and how His worthiness changes the way we live right now. This episode is a reminder that history is in His hands, redemption is still unfolding, and the Lamb who was slain is still worthy of our full devotion.

  • Episode 163 (Revelation 4)

    In this episode of Rooted, we step into the overwhelming vision of heaven in Revelation 4, where everything centers around the throne of God. Through John’s eyes, we see a picture of power, holiness, and unending worship that challenges the way we often think about God and our place in His story. This episode unpacks what it means for God to truly be at the center—not just part of our lives—and how that reality reshapes our priorities, our identity, and our everyday worship. It’s an invitation to lift your eyes, realign your heart, and live in light of the One who is already on the throne.

  • Episode 162 (Revelation 3)

    In this episode of Rooted, we explore Jesus’ powerful words to the seven churches in Revelation 2–3 and what they reveal about our own hearts. It’s possible to look like you’re doing everything right on the outside—showing up, serving, staying consistent—while quietly drifting on the inside. Focusing on the church in Ephesus, we unpack what it means to lose your “first love” and why Jesus cares more about our love for Him than our spiritual performance. This episode is a call to pause, reflect, and return—to stop going through the motions and reconnect with the One who started it all.

  • Episode 161 (Revelation 2)

    In this episode of Rooted, we step into Revelation chapter 2 and explore what happens when Jesus speaks directly to His church—and to us. Through letters written to seven real churches with real struggles, we see a Savior who isn’t distant, but present—walking among His people, calling out what’s broken, and inviting them back to faithfulness. Some words challenge, some encourage, but all of them reveal who Jesus is and what He desires for our lives today. This episode pushes us to stop reading these letters as someone else’s story and start asking a deeper question: what might Jesus be saying to me, and am I willing to listen?

    In this episode of Rooted, we step into the powerful opening of Revelation and uncover the steady truth behind its vivid imagery: Jesus is not only coming back—He reigns right now. Written to believers facing fear, pressure, and uncertainty, Revelation reminds us that God hasn’t stepped away from the story. He is the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning, the end, and everything in between. This episode challenges you to lift your eyes above the chaos of everyday life and anchor your hope in the presence and power of Christ. No matter what you’re facing, you’ll be reminded that your story is held by a King who sees you, walks with you, and has already secured the final victory.

  • Episode 159 (Colossians 3)

    In this episode of Rooted, we dive into Colossians 3 and the powerful picture of “changing clothes” to understand what it really means to live out our identity in Christ. So often, we hold onto old մտած habits—seeking approval, reacting in anger, or chasing things that don’t last—even though Jesus has already made us new. This episode challenges you to set your mind on what’s eternal, put off the old self, and step into a life marked by compassion, forgiveness, and love. Whether at school, at home, or with friends, you’ll be reminded that you’re not just trying to be better—you’re learning to live as who you already are in Christ.
