About this listen
This episode was sparked by the remembrance of Jesus’ baptism on the liturgical calendar—but it quickly turned into a reflection on something deeper: calling, brokenness, and grace.
As I’ve been thinking about the baptism of Jesus, my focus hasn’t been on Jesus in the water, but on John standing there. Jesus later called John the greatest prophet—greater than Moses, greater than Elijah—yet when Jesus came to him, John’s response was immediate resistance. “I’m not worthy. You don’t need this. I’m the one who’s broken.”
And God’s response wasn’t to disqualify him—or tell him to fix himself first.
In this unscripted Ramblecast, we reflect on what it means that a broken man baptized the unbroken One who came to be broken for all of us. If you’ve ever felt the call of God and immediately thought, “I can’t do this. I’m not qualified,” this episode is for you.
Jesus didn’t come for the healed. He didn’t wait for us to get it together. He was broken on our behalf so that He could heal what’s broken in us—and use us to bring His grace into the lives of others.
