  John 4 - Jesus is the Living Water with Katie Marsh and Julie Gariss - 50

  Aug 11, 202653 min

  Send us Fan Mail A tired Jesus sits by a well at noon and starts a conversation no respectable rabbi is supposed to have. That single choice exposes how the Kingdom works: Jesus goes looking for the person everyone else avoids, and he does it with truth, tenderness, and zero fear of crossing man-made lines. We welcome back Julie Garris and Katie Marsh as we walk through John chapter 4 and the Samaritan woman story verse by verse. We talk about the real history behind the Jewish and Samaritan hostility, why her noon-time water trip hints at deep shame, and why Jesus’ words “If you knew the gift of God” still confront our spiritual blindness today. You will hear us wrestle honestly with what “living water” means when life feels empty, and how Jesus can name sin without shaming the sinner. Then the conversation turns to worship in spirit and truth. Is it a place, a style, a mood, a heart posture, or something even bigger? We explore how worship shifts from a mountain or temple to a Person, and what it looks like to live a life of reverence and obedience when no one is watching. We close with the woman’s simple “Come and see” testimony, the harvest it sparks, and the royal official’s faith that trusts Jesus’ word for healing from miles away, plus a reminder that God still answers urgent prayers in everyday life.

  Healing a Broken Parent/Child Relationship with Alex Willis - 49

  Jul 28, 202642 min

  Send us Fan Mail The people who look “fine” can be the ones hurting in silence, and sometimes the damage happens while we’re busy doing good things. This week, Kim is joined by her daughter, Alex Willis, for a candid, hope-filled conversation about healing a mother-daughter relationship after years of misaligned priorities, misunderstandings, and unspoken needs. We talk about what it felt like for her as an only child in a small church when Kim's time and attention were often pulled toward youth ministry and other people’s crises, and how that slowly taught her to minimize her own pain. Alex shares how motherhood brought old wounds to the surface, why their simple “Monday time” became a turning point, and what it takes to rebuild trust when you can’t redo the past. They get practical about Christian parenting and family discipleship: noticing emotional needs even when there are no red flags, creating margin, and remembering that ministry and service can never replace presence at home. They also talk about the courage it takes for adult children to speak up, and why apologies matter more than defensiveness. They close by acknowledging listeners carrying real childhood trauma and complicated family histories. Not every relationship is safe to continue, but forgiveness and healing are still possible, and we pray directly for comfort, protection, and restoration. If you care about healing broken relationships, balancing church leadership with family, and learning how prayer can repair what feels fractured, listen now, share with someone you love, and please subscribe and leave a review so more hearts can find hope.

  Episode #48

  John 3 - You Must Be Born Again with Daniel Moore - 48

  Jul 14, 202656 min

  Send us Fan Mail Special guest Daniel Moore joins us this week as we walk through John 3. Nicodemus shows up with status, influence, and Bible knowledge, and Jesus responds with a single, disruptive truth: you must be born again. That moment in John 3 is a mirror for anyone who has ever leaned on religious effort, church habits, or “being a good person” and still felt the ache that something is missing. We talk through why Nicodemus comes at night, what Jesus is really saying about new birth, and how the Holy Spirit brings an inward transformation that no amount of external performance can produce. We also dig into the meaning of being born of water and the Spirit and why Jesus compares the Spirit’s work to the wind. Along the way, we get practical about spiritual growth and discipleship: prayer, time in God’s Word, worship, and real fellowship with believers who pursue Jesus. If you feel stuck, we name common barriers like unforgiveness and unconfessed sin and why repeated surrender is often part of real maturity, not a reason for shame. Then we slow down for John 3:16-21, not as a slogan, but as the heart of the gospel: God’s sacrificial love for a fallen world, belief as active trust and submission, and Jesus as rescue from a condemnation the world is already under. We close with John the Baptist’s humility in John 3:22-36, where jealousy fades, and joy takes its place: “He must increase, and I must decrease.” If you’ve been asking what to do with Jesus, this conversation will press that question all the way to the center.

  Episode #47

  John 2 - A Miracle and Tables Turned with Katie Marsh and Julie Gariss - 47

  Jun 30, 202654 min

  Send us Fan Mail The wine runs out at a wedding, and Jesus doesn’t just solve an awkward problem; He reveals what He’s like: generous, attentive, and overflowing with joy. We sit with John 2 alongside Katie Marsh and first-time guest Julie Garris as we trace the layers in Jesus turning water into wine, from the servants’ quiet obedience to the deeper picture of transformation and abundant grace that never runs dry. If you’ve been carrying an empty place, this passage meets you with hope that’s both personal and powerful. Then the tone changes fast. Jesus enters the temple courts at Passover and flips tables, confronting a worship system twisted by greed and distraction. We talk about holy anger, reverence, and what it means when Jesus refuses to let God’s house become a marketplace. That leads us straight into modern church questions: celebrity culture, platform-building, and why we can drift into valuing marketing over intercession and speed over depth without even noticing. We also get practical about spiritual renewal and Christian community. We wrestle with what we can actually do, not just complain about, and we come back to a simple daily question: “Lord, what is one thing I can do for You today?” If you’re hungry for real discipleship, small-group life, and a faith that looks like love in action, press play and join us.

  Episode #46

  John 1 - The Word Became Flesh with Katie Marsh - 46

  Jun 16, 20261h 1m

  Send us Fan Mail John’s Gospel doesn’t start with a manger or a genealogy. It starts before time, with a bold claim: Jesus is the Word, Jesus is God, and Jesus is the One through whom everything was made. Around the table, we read John 1 out loud and let it challenge the “small” versions of Jesus we’re tempted to settle for, replacing them with a Savior who is Creator, Light in the darkness, and the clearest picture of the Father’s heart. We also slow down at the personal turning point in John 1: those who receive Jesus and believe in his name are given the right to become children of God. That isn’t just religious language to us, it’s an open door to salvation, adoption, and a new identity. We pray for listeners who don’t yet know Jesus to receive him, and we ask the Holy Spirit to make the Word feel real, near, and alive. Then we learn from John the Baptist, a model of humility and bold testimony. He refuses the spotlight, names Jesus as the Lamb of God, and shows us what it looks like to live with an active posture of humility instead of passive pride. Finally, we follow the first disciples as Jesus asks a direct question, “What do you want?” and offers a simple invitation, “Come and see” a call to abide, stay close, and let relationship change everything.
