In this opening episode of God in the Timber, we step into the Gospel of John and meet the cast of characters who will shape the story of Jesus' ministry—Andrew, Simon Peter, Philip, and Nathanael. These aren’t just names on a page; they’re seekers, skeptics, and future world-changers. We explore how each encounter reveals something profound about who Jesus is and what He’s come to do.

And then comes the mic drop moment: Jesus sees Nathanael and says, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.” Nathanael’s stunned reply—“How do you know me?”—sets the stage for one of the most powerful revelations in Scripture. Jesus doesn’t just know Nathanael. He knows us.

This episode is about beginnings—of faith, of friendship, and of a story that will shake the world. Let’s walk through the timber and listen for the voice that still calls today.
