A Little League mound visit delivered a reminder far bigger than baseball: “If you walk the next five batters, Jesus is still Lord. If you strike out the next five batters, Jesus is still Lord.” In this episode, we look at Jesus’ words about worry in Matthew 6 and Paul’s incredible perspective in Philippians to consider how easily we turn small things into big things. When Christ is truly the biggest thing in our lives, everything else can finally be the size it’s supposed to be. Whatever the next pitch brings, one thing remains unchanged: Jesus is still Lord.

In this episode of The 44, we journey into Exodus 9 and the devastating plague of hail, stopping at one remarkable phrase: “Only in the land of Goshen.” While judgment fell across Egypt, God made a clear distinction for His people, reminding us that He knows exactly who belongs to Him. This episode explores how Goshen points beyond physical protection to the deeper security found in Christ, a place where even when storms come, there are things they simply cannot touch. God's people may not be spared every trial, but they are never outside His sight, His promises, or His care.

A cancelled flight, a rerouted destination, and a long night of difficult decisions became an unexpected lesson about trust. Why is it so hard to surrender control, even when we know God is leading? In this episode, we explore what delayed flights, detours, and a 15-hour drive home reveal about our hearts and why Proverbs 3 reminds us that the safest place isn't behind the wheel, but in the hands of the One who knows the way.

As Joseph sends his brothers back to Canaan, he leaves them with one simple instruction: “Do not quarrel on the way.” Why would those be his final words? In this episode, we slow down to examine one small detail in Genesis 45:24 and discover a powerful lesson about forgiveness, reconciliation, and refusing to let yesterday’s failures steal today’s grace. Like Joseph’s brothers, we’re all on a journey home and we’ve been entrusted with the greatest news the world has ever heard: Jesus is alive.

In this episode of The 44, we explore Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic story The Great Stone Face and discover the powerful biblical truth hidden within its pages: you become what you behold. Through 2 Corinthians 3:18, Acts 4:13, and Hebrews 12:1–2, we see that lasting transformation doesn't come merely from trying harder, it comes from fixing our eyes on Jesus. The longer we behold His glory, the more our lives begin to reflect His character. Join us as we consider one simple but life changing question: What or who is shaping the person you're becoming?

In this episode of The 44, we eat on one of the easiest details in Scripture to overlook—John outrunning Peter to the empty tomb in John 20:3-8. As we slow down and pay attention to the text, we discover powerful lessons about pursuing Jesus, avoiding comparison with other believers, and remembering that the greatest victory was never who arrived first, but that the tomb was empty. Whether your spiritual journey feels like a sprint or a slow, steady walk, this episode is a reminder that we are all running the same race toward the same risen Savior.

In John 18:1–2, Jesus crosses the Kidron Valley on His way to Gethsemane, a detail that is far more significant than it first appears. In this episode, we explore how the Kidron became a place associated with the removal of idols and uncleanness throughout the Old Testament, making Jesus’ crossing a powerful picture of the One who would carry away the sin of the world. We also consider the simple but profound statement that Jesus “had often met there with His disciples,” challenging us to ask: What is your Kidron Crossing? Where is the place you consistently meet with the Father before life’s darkest valleys come?

In this episode of The 44, we explore the sobering story of Demas. A man who once labored alongside Paul but ultimately walked away because he "loved this present world" (2 Timothy 4:10). Through the few verses that mention his name, we uncover a powerful warning about the slow drift of worldliness and the battle for our affections. What happens when something other than Christ captures our hearts?

Last week we asked, "Whose rainbow is it?" This week we go a step further. In a culture filled with controversy, criticism, and pressure to conform, what can the rainbow teach us about God's patience, mercy, and truth? Join us as we explore Genesis 9, 2 Peter 3:9, recent headlines from the baseball world, and why there are times when God's people must lovingly but courageously say, "No." The rainbow is more than a symbol. It is a reminder that God is still giving sinners time to come home.

It is June, and with it come conversations about identity, truth, symbols, and what they mean. In this episode of The 44, we explore a simple but important question: Whose rainbow is it? From Genesis 9 to a modern-day Major League Baseball pitcher pointing people back to God’s covenant, we’ll discuss why Christians must not surrender the story behind one of Scripture’s most powerful symbols. The rainbow was God’s before it was anything else and perhaps it’s time we started telling that story again.
