Episode 3 Recap — The Identity Crisis In this episode, we tackled one of the biggest questions of our time: Who am I? We began in Genesis 1:26–27, where Scripture reveals that every person is made in the image of God. This means our worth is not built on appearance, achievement, or approval—it comes from the Creator Himself. Being male and female is part of God’s good design, and our very existence carries divine purpose. We then looked at Genesis 3, where sin fractured that identity. Instead...
Living in Babylon: Thriving in a Secular World In this episode, we looked at the story of Daniel and his friends in Daniel 1.

Key Themes: Faithfulness in a foreign land: Babylon tried to reshape Daniel’s identity, but he chose loyal...
Episode 1 — The Battle for Truth Scripture: John 18:37–38; 2 Timothy 4:3–4 Theme: Standing firm for truth in a world of confusion. In this opening episode, John unpacks one of the most pressing issues of our time — the struggle over truth itself. When Jesus stood before Pilate and declared, “For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth,” Pilate cynically replied, “What is truth?” (John 18:37–38). That same question echoes loudly in o...

🙌 Episode 9 — The Power of Community We were never meant to fight alone. This week’s episode reminded us that in the battle of faith, two are better than one (Ecclesiastes 4:9–12). God designed the Church as a family — a place where accountability strengthens us, encouragement lifts us, and unity helps us overcome. When one stumbles, another lifts them up. When one grows weary, another speaks courage. That’s how victory is lived out — together. 🎧 Listen now to be reminded that you are not alo...

Day 17: Filled to Overflow Scripture: John 7:38 (ESV) "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’" Devotional: Fulfillment is not just being full—it’s about overflow.
