Who’s worthy to redeem the world? Pastor Skip unpacks a stunning vision from Revelation—and how it points directly to Jesus.

When we hear the words of John 15:13, “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” most of us assume it’s a metaphor, not a literal call. But on June 18, that verse became a lived reality.

Three friends, Val Creus, Matt Schoenecker, and Matt Anthony lost their lives in an act of heroic brotherhood. When Val jumped into the swimming hole at Rattlesnake Falls and called for help, both Matts jumped in after him without hesitation. Today, we’re joined by their close friend and fellow Opus Dei member, Matt Bowman, who shares how these men were remarkable not just in their final sacrifice, but in the way they lived: humbly, joyfully, and always in service to others, drawing people closer to Christ. We also remember another quiet hero, diver Juan Heredia, who risked his own life to recover their bodies and bring some measure of peace to grieving families. Their story reminds us to live with purpose, to love without delay, and to lead others to the source of all love: Christ Himself.

On this special in-studio BOLD STEPS with Pastor Mark Jobe, we're discussing something that could transform not just your family, but generations to come. With Mark fresh back from a trip to Spain where he grew up, he was reminded powerfully of something we often take for granted … the incredible influence one generation can have on the next. Every day, whether we realize it or not, we're either building up or tearing down the people around us, especially those who are younger and watching our every move. We want to challenge every listener to become the kind of person who breaks negative cycles and builds positive legacies. It's a conversation about influence, investment, and the lasting impact we can make.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe shows us how to live in contrast to the dark world around us. The moon has no light source of its own, yet it shines bright in the evening skies because it reflects the sun’s light. And that’s how we should be living as believers, too … reflecting the Son (S-O-N’s) light and love onto the world around us. We’ll be turning back to the book of Ephesians … Mark has reminded us that we need to watch our words and guard our relationships, and in today’s message, he’ll show us how to live in contrast to the dark world around us.
