Dave returns with Season 2 of the | Practice podcast.The new series isn’t due until September… but this is a message that can’t wait.

In this pre-season special with the guys at The Carpenter’s Arms, we unpack some of the most sobering words Jesus ever spoke: “I don’t know you.” These aren’t throwaway lines — they appear in Scripture multiple times, each one a loving but urgent warning.

Here’s the truth: being a true disciple of Jesus is not just about knowing you’re saved. ’ It’s about walking in an authentic, living relationship with Him — one that shapes our hearts, our choices, and our hope.

The Bible says His return will come like a thief in the night. The world isn’t getting any easier, and just like Covid caught so many unprepared, the Second Coming will take many by surprise. Only this time… eternity hangs in the balance.

This isn’t fear-mongering. This is the same urgent love that moved Jesus to warn, to call, and to invite — because He wants none to perish. The good news? His arms are still open. The invitation is still on the table. But the time to respond… is now.

Whether you’ve walked with Jesus for years, drifted away, or have never called yourself a Christian, this conversation will challenge you to wrestle with the most important question of your life:

Does Jesus know me?
