Welcome back to the fortieth episode and season finale of The Narrow Path Podcast! In this episode, Jake & Justin sit down to unpack suffering, pain, and hardship through the lens of Scripture. We’ll get real about our sinful state, the reality of a fallen world, and the truth that there’s only ever been one truly good person, Jesus who willingly took on the worst of suffering for us.

In today’s conversation, we’re digging into why suffering exists, how God uses it to refine and draw us closer, and the hope we have in Christ who entered into our pain and promises eternal restoration. If you’re in the middle of a tough season, wrestling with doubt, or wondering how God could still be good in a broken world, this one’s for you.

Welcome back to the thirty-ninth episode of The Narrow Path Podcast!

Have you ever felt like following God turned into just following rules? In this episode, Jake & Justin sit down to talk about Legalism, the mindset that elevates rules, rituals, and religious performance over grace, faith, and genuine relationship with God.

In today’s conversation, we’re getting real about legalism — what it is, how it sneaks into our lives, and why it can leave us feeling burned out or stuck spiritually. We’ll share personal stories, break down the difference between obedience and legalism, and also explore the opposite end of the spectrum, lawlessness which is just as wrong. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith feeling more like rules than relationship, this one’s for you.

Welcome back to the thirty-eighth episode of The Narrow Path Podcast!

Last week, we talked about green flags—what to pursue in a godly relationship. This week, we’re flipping the script and leaning into a conversation that’s just as important: red flags. What should we be cautious of? What patterns, attitudes, or behaviors should cause us to pause instead of proceed?

In this episode, Jake & Justin walk through some of the most common red flags in relationships—from spiritual misalignment and confusion, to unchecked pride and misplaced priorities. But beyond just pointing out flaws in others, we ask a deeper question: Where are the red flags in us?

Because as much as we need discernment in dating, we also need humility in our own hearts. Our prayer is that this episode not only helps you recognize what’s unhealthy in relationships—but invites you to be refined by the Holy Spirit yourself.

Whether you’re dating, healing from a past relationship, or just seeking wisdom for the future, this episode is packed with biblical truth, honest reflection, and practical guidance.

Welcome back to the thirty-seventh episode of The Narrow Path Podcast!

In this episode, Jake & Justin sit down to talk about what really matters when it comes to relationships—what to look for, what to value, and how to pursue something that’s rooted in Christ.

We live in a world that often gets this part wrong. We’re told to focus on appearance, status, or how someone makes us feel—but Scripture points us to something deeper. The kind of relationship that’s marked by character, humility, consistency, and a shared pursuit of Jesus.

This conversation isn’t about setting unrealistic expectations or chasing perfection. It’s about learning to recognize what’s healthy, what’s holy, and what’s worth waiting for.

If you’re in a season of singleness, dating, or just wanting clarity on what to look for—this one’s for you.

Welcome back to the thirty-sixth episode of The Narrow Path Podcast!

In this episode, Jake & Justin open up a conversation we don’t have often enough—what to do when you feel alone.

Loneliness can feel like rejection. Like no one sees the pain you’re carrying, the effort you’re giving, or the silence you’ve been sitting in. But here’s the truth: you are not alone in feeling alone.

Culture tells us to self-isolate, to self-medicate, to scroll our way out of it—but Scripture tells a better story. One where God draws near to the brokenhearted. One where Jesus touches the outcast. One where the wilderness isn’t punishment—it’s preparation.

Here’s the unfiltered truth:

The enemy isolates to deceive.

God meets us in the hidden places.

And healing often comes through community, not crowds.

If you’ve been walking through a season of feeling unseen or spiritually dry, we pray this episode meets you right where you are. There’s purpose in your solitude. There’s hope in your silence. And there’s a family waiting for you in the Body of Christ.

If you’ve been feeling overlooked, forgotten or unseen, this one’s for you.

You are not alone in Feeling Alone.

Let’s talk about it.

Welcome back to the thirty-fifth episode of The Narrow Path Podcast! In this episode, Jake & Justin dive into a long-overdue conversation: the difference between Love and Lust.

Culture’s been lying to us — telling us “what feels good must be good,” where surface-level pleasure is labeled as deep connection. But Lust can never fulfill what only Love was meant to satisfy.

Here’s The Unfiltered Truth:

Lust is impulsive, selfish, and driven by instant gratification, always demanding, never giving. It’s reckless, chaotic, and focused on what it can take.

Love: honors, protects, preserves, and sees true worth. Love is Patient. Love is Kind. It chooses commitment over convenience and values sacrifice over self-indulgence.

Through Scripture and real conversation, we break down how to tell the difference—and why it matters. Because if we don’t know what love really is, we’ll keep chasing the wrong thing and wonder why our hearts never feel full. God’s Word calls us to a deeper kind of Love, one that reflects His nature, not our cravings.

There’s grace. There’s a better way. And it starts here. Stream it now—this one’s for anyone tired of chasing what doesn’t last.

Welcome back to the thirty-fourth episode of The Narrow Path Podcast! In this episode, Jake & Justin dive into a topic that hits home for all of us: waiting on God’s timing.

Ever felt like your prayer got lost in the mail? Like God missed the deadline? You’re not alone. But the truth is — we serve an On Time God.

In this episode, we unpack how delays aren’t denials, why God’s timing is perfect even when it doesn’t feel like it, and how the waiting season is often where the real work happens — in us. Through Scripture and real talk, we’re reminded that God is never in a rush, but He’s never late either.

Tune in for encouragement to trust Him in the process, stay faithful in the waiting, and believe that even when you don’t see it — God is working. Always. On time.

Welcome back to the thirty-third episode of The Narrow Path Podcast! Join Jake and Justin as they dive into a conversation that hits close to home for many believers: overcoming jealousy and envy.

In this episode, they unpack the difference between jealousy and envy, how both are rooted in comparison, insecurity, and pride—and how they silently corrupt our relationships, gratitude, and view of God. Through biblical examples like Cain and Abel, Joseph’s brothers, and King Saul’s envy of David, they reveal how these heart issues can grow into division, bitterness, and even sin if left unchecked.

Tune in as they offer both spiritual insight and practical steps to fight back against comparison, celebrate others, and return to a place of contentment in Christ. You’ll be reminded that God’s plan for your life is good, intentional, and right on time.

Let this episode challenge and encourage you to take your eyes off what everyone else is doing—and fix your focus back on the faithfulness of God.

Welcome back to the thirty-second episode of The Narrow Path Podcast! Join Jake and Justin as they dive into one of the most sobering and often-avoided truths in Scripture: the reality of Hell.

In this episode, they walk through Luke 16 and other challenging passages to confront the weight of eternal separation from God—not to instill fear, but to awaken urgency. In a culture that downplays sin and avoids uncomfortable conversations, Jesus speaks plainly and lovingly about Hell—not to condemn, but to offer a way out.

Tune in as they unpack these truths with clarity and compassion, reminding us that while Hell is real, so is the rescue. Let this conversation stir your heart with fresh gratitude for the Gospel and a deeper desire to share it with others. Eternity is real. Let’s live like it.

Welcome Back to Thirty-first episode of The Narrow Path Podcast! Join Jake and Justin as they dive into the awe and mystery of heaven—not just a distant idea, but a real place God promises us as our forever home.

In this episode, they explore what Scripture tells us about heaven’s reality: a place of incredible beauty, peace, and joy where we will live in God’s presence forever. Though heaven is beyond full human understanding, the Bible gives us glimpses of its wonder that fuel our hope and curiosity.

Tune in as they unpack these truths and reflect on the hope that heaven offers, inspiring us to keep walking the narrow path with eyes fixed on our eternal home.
