Knowing Jesus

You don't just randomly watch porn. There were silent triggers you never noticed — and they started with unmet needs you didn't even know you had. In this episode, we unpack three of the five God-designed needs that pornography quietly hijacks: connection, belonging, and purpose. If you've ever wondered why willpower alone never seems to work, this is where the real answers start. Buy Turn Off Por...

Pornography isn't a declaration of who you are — it's a symptom of what's missing. In this first episode of a special series, licensed counselor and author of "Turn Off Porn, Brian Bachman explores why the church's go-to advice — pray more, read more, try harder — hasn't been working for most people. He unpacks how 200 years of cultural shifts have left us disconnected from purpose, community, and...

Today I have a conversation with Brett Vaden, an author and associate pastor at The Journey West County. We explore what it means to have a true self and a false self and why it’s important. Who am I? How do I define myself? Why is it easier to be a pharisee than we think? What is the difference between being loved even though I am broken vs being loved for my brokenness?   Available On: Amazon ht...

Today we cover a variety of seemingly unconnected topics: The Greatest Commandment, We love Because He First Loved us, Unproductive Shame vs Productive Guilt, Restorative Sadness, The Freedom of God’s Glory, and We are no longer orphans.

Today’s episode we cover John 14:6-14 and discuss the high view of humanity that God has, his immeasurable kindness in that He wants to lift us up and make us more like him, how Jesus is the way, truth, and the life, and how that fact is still valuable 2000 years later!   Check out Feedspot, we're thankful for adding the Knowing Jesus podcast! https://blog.feedspot.com/bible_podcasts/   Available...

It's easy to see God's law as frustrating or limiting.  It can be easy to see God as a cranky control freak instead of understanding the underneath human flourishing of many laws. Some laws we may not see the flourishing aspect, this side of heaven. We also dive into the incredible practical forgiveness that God calls us to - although it can be very offensive to our sinful nature.    Available On:...

Special Guest Today: Tim Holley the lead pastor at The Journey West County walks with us and unpacks a few main points: How do we as Christians and Humans Grieve without drowning in pain or moving too quickly to resurrection hope thus denying the pain we all face? Touching on Toxic Masculinity and more importantly Healthy godly Masculinity and how does Jesus model being a Man? Being vulnerable and...

Today we look at a couple of stories around the controversial topic of supernatural healing.  We see Jesus meeting human beings where they are at.  He pushes against legalism and challenges the way we think of sharing the gospel and conducting religion. Hop into the story with us and get to know Jesus more!    (John 4:45 – John 5:15 with reference to Hebrews 11 & John 13) Available On: Amazon...

Today we see not only the love of Jesus displayed for "the other," "the outcast" and "the worst sinner."  We see His love, kindness, and dignity. We also explore the concept of living water and what this means for our daily loves.  Have we received and living in the gift of God, talked about in this passage? A question we tackle, and is important for our day and age, is: Are Churches about power a...

A powerful conversation between a fearful leader and an unexpected king. Although Nicodemus seemingly is afraid to talk to Jesus and associate with Him, Jesus engages this curious man with a long, meaningful conversation.  Also in this episode, we talk about vulnerability and how we can find our identity in good things and doing good but this still robs us of our true and more glorious identity. ...

Jesus turns water into wine and listens to human appeals. Jesus cares about those who are left out of His Father's house and wants all people to have access to the Father.  Who are we forgetting that God has called to the table and the house of God? We were excluded (as Gentiles) but He brought us into the family. #podcast #Christianity #Jesus #Christian #Love #Faith #Bible #BibleReadingPlan #Audi...

When the disciples meet Jesus they can't help but tell their friends. They encountered something unique and amazing about Jesus. They were excited and intrigued by Jesus. What could be so meaningful to leave everything and follow this strange man? We also talk about how the disciples attempted to make Jesus a political figure and although they were very incorrect, He is patient with them and still...

Today in John 1:13-34 we Jesus and John model leadership for an upside-down, countercultural kingdom. God enters the story, taking on human form to walk alongside us. Why does He do this? Because of love and for our flourishing and restoration.     (John 1:13-34)   Donate to help create more episodes, faster: Support Me on Patreon:  https://patreon.com Support Me on my website: https://bit.ly/3CYu...

What does it mean that Jesus was there "in the beginning" — and why didn't the world recognize Him when He arrived? In this episode, we walk through John 1:1-13 together, slowing down on the verses that are easy to read past. We look at why John opens his gospel so differently from Matthew, Mark, and Luke; what it tells us that Jesus is called "the Word" and "the light"; and why Jesus responded wi...
