But What Did GOD Say?™

In this opening series of “Prayer According to Jesus,” we explore what prayer looks like when it flows from The Father’s Heart —from relationship, trust, and the goodness He has revealed in His Word. As disciples, we are learning to see God as He truly is: a Father whose heart is for salvation, repentance, and restoration. In this episode of “The Heart of the Father,” we discover from Scripture: T...

In this final episode of “Faith According to Jesus,” we sit with one piercing question from Luke 18: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” In a world flooded with fear, division, and constant noise, we explore what it means to carry a persevering, praying, justice-seeking faith that refuses to give up. This is a heart-level reflection, not a recap. If your faith has grown t...

In our continuing “Faith According to Jesus” series, this episode looks at “Faith That Strengthens Others.” We follow Peter from Jesus’ words in Luke 22 —“I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren” —into the book of Acts, where the same Peter who wept over his denial now stands up to preach Jesus, lifts a lame man at the Beau...

In our continuing “Faith According to Jesus” series, we walk through Luke 7:36–50, where Simon the Pharisee hosts Jesus for dinner, and a woman with a shattered reputation comes in and falls at His feet. Jesus tells a story about two debtors, exposes the quiet pride in Simon’s heart, and then turns to this woman and says, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” In this episode, we hold both peopl...

In our “Faith According to Jesus” series, this episode walks through Luke 5:17–26 (with the parallel in Mark 2:1–12), where four friends carry a paralyzed man, break through the crowd, and lower him through the roof to Jesus. We sit with the phrase “When He saw their faith” and watch how Jesus goes to the deepest need first—calling the man “Son” and forgiving his sins—before healing his body in fr...

In this episode of our “Faith According to Jesus” series, we look at two encounters with Jesus: the woman in Mark 5:25-34 who had suffered for twelve years, and the one leper in Luke 17:11-19 who returned to give thanks after being cleansed. Both stories show us that wholeness is deeper than relief. The woman reaches for Jesus with the last strength in her body, and the Samaritan returns to Jesus...

What happens when our faith is shaken to the core, and we fail God in the very area we thought we were strong? In this episode of “Faith According to Jesus,” we walk with Peter through Luke 22:31–32, 54–62. We listen as Jesus warns Peter about Satan’s sifting, prays that his faith will not fail, and then watches Peter deny Him three times—and we see the bitter tears of repentance that Jesus had al...

In this episode, we explore the sober side of “faith according to Jesus”: what He referred to as " no faith" . First, we go to Nazareth, where the people who knew Jesus best were “offended” at Him, and He marveled at their unbelief, doing only a few miracles there because their hearts were closed.  Then we walk into the valley of Mark 9, where a desperate father brings his demon‑tormente...

In this episode, we return to the moment that led Jesus to say, “Have faith in God.” This wasn’t a random slogan about faith—it was a response to a real situation the disciples had just witnessed. They saw the fig tree wither and had to wrestle with what Jesus said and did in that moment. We walk through the kind of faith Jesus was actually talking about in Mark 11:20–25—how it acts, how it is act...

In this episode, we return to Matthew 8:23–27 to sit with Jesus and His disciples in the middle of a great storm. We walk through three key observations from the scene in the boat and then zoom out to notice what the disciples had already seen Jesus do before the storm ever hit. Along the way, we explore what Jesus meant by “little faith,” how easily we forget our history with God in a new crisis,...

 In this first episode of the ‘Faith According to Jesus’ series, we slow down with Matthew 8:5–13 and listen to how Jesus responds to a Roman centurion. Jesus says He has not found such great faith, not even in Israel. What did He see in this man? We look at three simple marks of this ‘great faith’: coming to Jesus on behalf of another, believing what we have heard about Him enough to seek Him, an...

In this episode of “But What Did GOD Say?”, we confront the anxiety around the rumored claim about Social Security being changed to “federal benefit payments” and ask a deeper question: Who has really been our Source all along? We talk honestly about why so many of us who have worked 20–40 years feel dismissed, renamed, and at risk, then bring that tension under the light of God’s Word to rediscov...

In this episode of But What Did God Say?, we dive into Matthew 28:16-20 and unpack the phrase, “teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you.” What does it really mean to observe the words of Jesus? Is it just about hearing, or is it about guarding, keeping, and obeying what He said? This message came from a fresh look at the Great Commission and a powerful reminder that discipleship i...

In this episode, we slow down with one loaded verse—Acts 10:38—and let it redefine what an “anointed life” really is. We see Jesus as the One the Father anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. From there, we explore four simple but deep movements: being rooted in relationship, revealing His goodness in everyday life,...

In this episode of “But What Did GOD Say?” we dive into Psalm 107 and the call: “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” We trace the four portraits in the psalm—the wanderer, the prisoner, the sick, and the sailor in the storm—and see the same pattern in each story: they cried, God heard, and He rescued. From there, we explore what redemption really is, not as self‑improvement, but as deliverance f...

In this episode, a simple moment of making the bed and humming a song became a divine setup for God to talk about filters—the unseen lenses that shape how we hear Him, see ourselves, and respond to others. In this episode, we unpack how fear, comparison, performance, and self can clog our spiritual filters, and how the Holy Spirit invites us not just to “clean up,” but to let Him change the filter...

In this episode, we talk about learning to live in the awareness of God’s holy presence in the middle of ordinary life. Our focus often settles horizontally—on people, opinions, circumstances, and even ourselves—and our inner lens starts to cloud. What begins as worship can drift into evaluation, and what begins with Jesus can quietly become all about what others are doing or how we feel. Through...

In a season where so many of us are carrying real pressure—health concerns, family strain, financial stress, hard decisions, long waiting seasons, and deep weariness—Hebrews gives us a steady anchor: “We are not of those who draw back.” In this episode, we read Hebrews 10:38–39 in context and walk through what it means to live by faith , what “ draw back ” looks like in real life, and what “ unto...

What did Jesus mean when He said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6)? In this episode, we explore how that hunger and thirst is ultimately for Jesus —the Bread of Life and the Living Water (John 6:35; John 4:14). We also clarify what “righteousness” is: not self-made goodness, but right standing with God that we receive in Christ (2...

In a world that rewards hustle and speed, many of us are building nonstop—and still feel unsteady. So we start where Scripture starts: “Unless the LORD builds the house…” (Psalm 127:1). That verse doesn’t condemn work—it exposes the difference between labor that lasts and labor that becomes vain. From there, we listen to Jesus as the Builder in Matthew 16, and we follow what the Word shows about w...

There are many conversations about Jesus — opinions, assumptions, and competing claims. But in Matthew 16:13–17, Jesus did not ask His disciples what others were saying. He asked them directly: “But who do you say that I am?” In this episode, we walk through that passage carefully and let Scripture interpret Scripture. We examine Peter’s confession that Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the living...

In this gentle, story-style guided prayer, we step away from pressure, worry, and striving — and into a peaceful picture of surrender. Through the imagery of an open gate, a strong stone table, and a quiet path forward, this episode helps listeners release what they’ve been carrying and rediscover the strength found in trust. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or worn down, this is an in...

What happens when the case is already closed — and we’re still living as though it’s open? In this episode of But What Did GOD Say?™ , we pause long enough to witness what Scripture has already settled. Using Romans 8:34 as our anchor, we’re invited into a quiet but weighty reality: Jesus Christ is not only the One who died and rose again — He now lives to intercede for us. This isn’t a lesson on...

In this final episode of our Observing Jesus series, we come to the closing moments of Jesus’ earthly life. In Gospel of Luke 23:44–46 , Jesus speaks directly to the Father and commits His spirit into His hands, echoing the prayer of Psalms 31:5 . Alongside Gospel of John 19:30 , we observe not panic, but trust — spoken at the completion of His work. As we watch His final words, we are invited to...

When urgency rises, we often feel pressure to act fast. But in Gospel of John 6:5–13 , Jesus shows us a different way. Faced with a hungry crowd and an impossible need, He did not move from panic — He moved from trust. He gave thanks and acted from His relationship with the Father. The need was real, but the pressure did not control Him. We also see this same posture in His teaching in Gospel of L...
