In this episode, we reflect on Galatians 6:17, where Paul declares, “I bear on my body the brand marks of Jesus.” We explore what Paul meant by these marks—scars of suffering, faithfulness, and allegiance—and why they mattered more than outward religious symbols. This conversation invites us to consider the marks our own lives bear and what they reveal about who we belong to. Following Jesus is not about convenience or comfort, but about a love that leaves its imprint on our priorities, choices, and obedience. The episode closes with a searching question: if our lives were examined, would they quietly but clearly say, “This person belongs to Jesus”?

In this episode we explore a simple but serious question: What is the one thing that’s been holding you back from a deeper relationship with the Lord? We look at the Rich Young Ruler in Luke 18 — a moral, religious man who walked away sad because there was one area of his life he refused to surrender — and we contrast him with Paul in Philippians 3, who released everything to pursue Christ and said, “One thing I do: I press on.” From there, we walk through four gospel-shaped steps: naming your “one thing,” asking what’s really underneath it, replacing it with Spirit-led transformation (Ephesians 4), and pressing forward daily in Christ. This isn’t about behavior-modification or “just stop it” Christianity — it’s about heart-level renewal and learning to love Jesus more than the thing we cling to. Our prayer is that your “one thing” becomes the very place where God does His deepest work in your life.

This episode looks closely at the often-overlooked words “fear not” and “do not be afraid,” especially as they appear throughout the story surrounding the birth of Jesus. Scripture shows these words are never spoken when life is calm, but when futures are uncertain and everything is about to change. From Mary and Joseph to the shepherds, fear does not disqualify people from God’s work—it places them right at the center of it. The good news of Jesus is not that fear disappears, but that God chooses nearness, stepping directly into fearful spaces with His people.
