The Jesus Podcast

When faced with difficult situations, our human instincts lead us to fight, flight, or freeze. This is no different when confronted with sin. When dealing with the ugliness of our shortcomings and failures, we can succumb to them, try to run from them, or face them head-on and deal with them.

In this dramatic and heartwrenching episode, Jesus defends a woman who is dragged out into the streets in shame. While others are poised to stone her, Jesus stands firm that nobody is sinless, and we all need mercy.

Today's Bible verse is John 8:7 from the King James Version.

Loss is a natural part of life, but that doesn’t make it easy. Grief can pull us into our deepest places of despair. A pit of darkness that seems impossible to escape from.

We all had dreams of what we wanted to be when we grew up: A firefighter, a policeman, a famous rockstar. But those dreams don’t always go as planned. Life happens and we find ourselves somewhere very different than we imagined.

Matthew had compromised everything. He betrayed his kinsman, abandoned his values, and tarnished his relationship with God. But all it took was one moment for all that to change. That moment is when Jesus said two simple words: "Follow me."

Our sense of identity can ebb and flow with the various seasons of life as we grow and change with our surroundings. But what if our identity could be much more stable?

We kick off our new mini-series called "Jesus and the Outcasts" with the call of Simon (who you may know as Peter). Before he meets Jesus, Simon is reeling in self-doubt, self-pity, and self-hatred. Perhaps you find yourself in a similar situation today. Perhaps you feel aimless. This story is for you!

God’s arms are always open. When you’ve failed. When you’ve stumbled. God’s arms are still open. Wide open. Ready to embrace you.

Welcome to our final parable episode. We are going to finish up the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Jarhameel took his father’s inheritance, essentially wishing that he would die. It’s an egregious insult, but the father gives him what he wants. Sometimes to show us the error of our ways, God gives us exactly what we want. It’s only then do we realize that what we needed all along was in the Father’s loving embrace.
