Someone in Elkie’s Bible study asked a question she couldn’t shake: if God knows everything, why did Jesus pick Judas? It’s a fair question. And the answer turns out to be one of the most fascinating threads in all of scripture, running straight from King David’s Psalms to the temple floor where Judas threw down 30 pieces of silver. Elkie digs into it all in this episode, looking at why Judas was chosen, what kind of man he actually was, and what the story of Pharaoh has to do with a man who sat across the table from Jesus and still walked away. She covers the Old Testament prophecies that named the betrayal centuries before it happened, Judas stealing from the disciples’ treasury while criticizing Mary’s worship, what it means that Judas called Jesus “Rabbi” instead of “Lord,” why God hardening Pharaoh’s heart after six chances is not the harsh thing it sounds like, and what it looks like to have a front row seat to miracles and still miss the point entirely. The bigger question underneath it all is the one that lands on everyone: what are you doing with the chances God is giving you right now? 💬 “Judas didn’t lose his relationship with Jesus.

This is the one that brings it all home. Brittany Jones gave her heart to Jesus in her grandmother’s kitchen on a first date she set the terms for — spaghetti, guitar, and he leaves afterward. That was the night everything started to shift. What followed was years of real, unglamorous healing. Deliverance at an altar she doesn’t remember walking to. Learning to forgive the same people over and over again. Finding out she was barren, then watching God give her three babies anyway. Praying for the salvation of people who had no business being prayed for — and meaning it. Then on Mother’s Day, a Texas number she almost didn’t answer. It was Corey. The man who had made her childhood a living nightmare, calling to say he was sorry, calling to say he was saved, calling from his deathbed. And then they asked her to preach his funeral. She said yes. 💬 “God, you promised me you would get the glory.
