What do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe about Jesus—and how do those teachings compare with what the Bible actually says?

In this episode of The Family Style Podcast, Ben and Colby are joined by Jonathan, a young apologist who has spent time studying and responding to Jehovah’s Witness theology, and Alain, who grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness before coming to faith in Jesus Christ.

Rather than attacking people, our goal in this conversation is to lovingly examine the teachings of the Jehovah’s Witnesses in light of Scripture and point people back to the biblical Jesus and the true gospel.

We discuss important questions surrounding the identity of Jesus Christ, His deity, His bodily resurrection, salvation, and the authority of Scripture. We also look at passages including Luke 24:39, John 20:27, Acts 2:31, and Acts 13:34–37 and consider how they challenge key Watchtower teachings concerning the resurrection of Jesus.

But this episode is more than an apologetics discussion. Alain shares his personal story of growing up within the Jehovah’s Witness organization, the circumstances God used to challenge what he had been taught, and how he ultimately came to know Jesus Christ.

Our desire is not simply to win an argument. It is to speak the truth in love, equip believers to understand what they believe and why they believe it, and encourage Christians to lovingly point Jehovah’s Witness friends and family members to the Scriptures.

What does a godly friendship really look like?

In this episode of the Family Style Podcast, we sit down with two men whose friendship grew into a genuine brotherhood in Christ. They share their personal testimonies, how the Lord brought them together through the local church, and how serving side by side has strengthened both their friendship and their walk with Jesus.

This honest and encouraging conversation explores how godly friends:

-Love one another through every season

-Encourage and sharpen each other

-Speak truth with grace

-Provide accountability and support

-Serve the Lord together

-Continually point one another back to Jesus

The Christian life was never intended to be lived in isolation. God uses the fellowship of His people to strengthen us, carry us through difficult seasons, and help us become more like Christ.

For anyone who feels alone or has struggled to develop meaningful friendships within the church, this episode offers a practical challenge: join a Bible study, begin serving, stay after church, invite someone to coffee, and pray for God to surround you with people who will help you know and follow Jesus more.

Scriptures discussed:

-Proverbs 17:17

-Proverbs 27:17

-Ecclesiastes 4:9–12

-John 15:12–15
