Podcasts about knowing jesus

This week in our Knowing Jesus series through the Gospel of Mark, we explored how need is the doorway to truly encountering Jesus. In Mark 2, we saw how Jesus responds not to self-sufficiency, but to honest, faith-filled dependence. Whether it was the friends who tore open a roof to bring someone to Jesus, the sinners who shared a meal with Him, or the broken systems He came to renew—Jesus meets people in their need, not their perfection. The message is clear: God helps those who KNOW they CANNOT help themselves. Need moves Jesus, welcomes grace, and makes room for new life. Let's not miss Him by pretending we have it all together—let's come to Him honestly, and let Him transform us from the inside out.

In this episode, we're joined by the wise and wonderful Lisa Harper — author, Bible teacher, and one of the most joy-filled voices in the Church today. With her trademark humor and heartfelt honesty, Lisa shares a powerful conversation with Shelley Giglio about theology, friendship, and the beauty of living in a deep community connection. Lisa opens up about her early struggles with inadequacy and how, for a time, theology became a mask she wore rather than a lens through which she could truly see Jesus. But as God gently reshaped her heart, Lisa began to understand that real theology is deeply relational, all about knowing Christ and letting that knowledge transform our lives. In this conversation, Lisa lets us into how that revelation has impacted her view on community, and challenges us to do the same. She also gives us a glimpse into what God is doing through her Kerygma Conference and her new book, “A Jesus Shaped Life.” In true Lisa Harper fashion, this episode is filled with both deep belly laughs and powerful theological truths, serving as a reminder to us that theology isn't just for classrooms or scholars, but for every woman longing to know Jesus and walk with Him more closely.The Grove is an extension of all God is doing here at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia, to serve and care for women everywhere.

In this episode, Hillary reveals how her pastor's sermons opened her eyes to the possibilities about Jesus, and about some of the false views some people have about Him. But she also reveals that knowing apologetics, knowing the basis for your faith is more than just an intellectual exercise. Knowing Jesus well will help you face all the difficulties that come your way throughout your lifetime. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/701/29

This week, we're starting a new series called “Knowing Jesus – A Journey Through the Gospel of Mark.” I believe the Lord is inviting us, as a church family, to return to the Gospels—not just to learn more about Jesus, but to truly know Him. To see His heart, His mission, and the path He calls us to walk.In this message, we begin with Jesus' baptism, His time in the wilderness, and His call to repentance. We explore what it means to be deeply rooted in our identity as beloved children of God, even in seasons of testing and silence. This isn't just about spiritual knowledge—it's about spiritual awakening.If you've been feeling spiritually dry, distracted, or stuck in routine, my prayer is that this message stirs something fresh in you. We talk about the difference between having a form of godliness and walking in the real, transforming power of God. There's a call here—not to perform or strive—but to surrender. To return. To believe the good news again.And I want to personally invite you to our prayer meeting. Because prayer isn't just something we do—it's who we're called to be. His house is a house of prayer. Let's seek Him together.

Bible Reading: Romans 8:35-37; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; 1 Peter 4:12–14Alisha ran inside the house. "There's a butterfly outside!" she exclaimed. "I got a picture on my phone. Do you want to see it?" she asked Devin, her older sister."Sure." Devin inspected the photo. "That butterfly is beautiful," she said as she cut into a mango. Alisha frowned as juice hit her phone. "That mango juice is getting everywhere."Devin shrugged as a piece of mango flew across the kitchen. "I'm trying to keep it from splashing all over the place, but mangos are messy."Alisha sat down at the counter and watched her sister. "Why eat mangos then? If they're messy, you could just not buy them." Devin popped a piece of mango into her mouth. "Because they taste really good, and I think it's worth it." She gave Alisha a smile. "It's kind of like your school problem." Alisha blinked. "Your mango is like people being mean to me at school because I believe in Jesus?" she asked doubtfully. "Kind of. Being a follower of Jesus can be messy. The Bible even tells us that--it says others might make fun of us or try to make life harder for us, like the kids at school who are mean to you. But you haven't stopped trusting in Jesus, have you?" Alisha looked shocked. "Why would I do that? He died for my sins so He could be with me all the time, and someday I'll be able to spend forever in heaven with Him."Devin smiled. "See? Knowing Jesus is worth it. Just like the mangos." She cut into a second mango. Alisha ducked so no juice would hit her. "I don't care how messy following Jesus is! Just like you don't care how messy your mango is." She thought about that for a moment. "I guess that makes sense. Kids at school make fun of me, but I know that Jesus loves me and died to save me, and that's worth whatever mean stuff people say." Alisha shrieked as a piece of mango hit her arm. "But those mangos are not worth it at all. I'm getting out of here!" –Kimberly BrokishHow About You?Has anyone ever been mean to you because you believe in Jesus?* Maybe they've called you names or said Jesus isn't real. The Bible tells us that being Christians doesn't protect us from all hardships--in fact, sometimes we will experience difficulties because we follow Jesus. But the Bible does tell us that Jesus will always love us and be with us. Take comfort in knowing that Jesus will be with you no matter what happens. He is worth any difficulties that come with following Him. *If someone is being mean to you, talk to a trusted adult so they can help.Today's Key Verse:That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (NIV) (2 Corinthians 12:10)Today's Key Thought:Hardships come when we follow Christ

Getting to know your Father God not just your mother church

In every season—joyful or hard— is the opportunity that God is forming you more into the image of Christ. In this series through the book of Philippians, we'll explore how being formed in Jesus transforms the way we think, live, and love. Paul's words speak directly to our lives today, asking questions like: What's the secret to joy in all seasons? How do I grow through trials, not just endure them? What does humility look like in a world focused on self? How can I experience peace, even when life feels uncertain? Whether you're just starting your faith journey or looking to grow deeper, this series will help you discover how formation begins where faith meets practice—and how God is completing a good work in you.

It has been said that a good laugh can completely change your day for the better. Why is comedy so important?The Bible is filled with example after example of laughter being a vital and valuable gift from God. For example:In Job 8:21, it says, ““He will once again fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy."“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken heart saps a person's strength.” – Proverbs 17:22.Psalm 126:2 says, “We were filled with laughter and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, ‘What amazing things the Lord has done for them.'"And from Ecclesiastes 2:2: “Laughter is silly. What good does it do to seek pleasure?"Well … it has been scientifically proven that comedy entertains and connects us in a way that drama and seriousness does not. Comedy addresses difficult topics in such a way that it provides a break from the world bearing down on us. Needless to say, there is great value in the ability to entertain and uplift. Making someone laugh just … feels … good.Carrie Murphy claims that she is the funniest Christian you will ever meet … or at least she thinks so. A rising comedian out of Nashville, she is also a published writer and speaker who has shared the stage with Matthew West, Grammy Award winner CeCe Winans, Tasha Layton, and many more. It is her passion to make everyone feel seen, included, and shame-free in the name of Jesus! Murphy, who currently has 9-part comedy special on KLOVE, joins us to talk about how life is too short to be serious all the time. Listen as she explains that as Christians, we can laugh and be God honoring because our Creator made laughter for everyone.

We can't escape God's call. That might sound unsettling, but the truth is God is sovereign—He reigns over the world and over our lives. When God calls us, there's no running away from Him, even if we try. That's because the Creator of the universe loves us deeply. He wants a personal relationship with us, no matter where we are in life. Listen in as we explore what it means to be called by God and why His invitation is inescapable. 

"The Way, The Truth, and The Life" – Power and Promise In this message, Pastor Matt explores Jesus' declaration in John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Set during Jesus' final moments with His disciples before His crucifixion, this sermon reveals how Jesus used Jewish wedding customs to illustrate His relationship with believers. Just as a Jewish bridegroom would prepare a place for his bride and return for her, Jesus promises to prepare heavenly dwellings for His followers and come back for them. Key Insights: * Jesus doesn't just show us a path—He IS the destination * Christianity isn't about religious performance but about "knowing, growing, and walking closer with Jesus, our eternal Savior" * From our first breath of faith to our final earthly moment, our relationship with Christ should be growing more intimate * Jesus patiently addresses His disciples' confusion and questions, showing us how He meets us in our uncertainty Key Scripture: John 14 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.14.NIV) This message concludes with an invitation for believers who haven't yet been baptized to take this first step of obedience in their Christian walk. As Jesus tells His troubled disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message will deepen your understanding of what it truly means to follow Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

This week, we’ll hear from Jay Lowder, an evangelist who has spent more than two decades traveling the globe, sharing the message of the gospel with audiences ranging from NFL teams to prison inmates. Early in his life, Jay struggled with depression which led him to medicate with alcohol, but ultimately brought him no peace from his pain. Feeling like giving up, Jay considered suicide, and he shares about the series of events that led him to finally find the peace he was looking for. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Riley Kehoe, an influencer and author, who shares the harrowing story of how her family survived a tsunami in Thailand when she was just a little girl. Riley recounts the terrifying events of the day, how her family stayed to help those who lost everything, and how she leaned on scripture to deal with the aftermath of such a traumatic event.

I didn't have a connection because I didn't have a relationship to Christ.” - Jay Lowder “I was in such a dark place that I questioned, Was God real? Was everything that I was ever told going to church authentic? Was that real? And I really didn't know the answer to that.” - Jay Lowder “The next thought that goes through my mind is, If God could forgive those Roman soldiers [who crucified Christ], maybe He could forgive me.” - Jay Lowder “I've never been the guy that says, ‘Well you know, if you come to know the Lord, all your problems are going to fade away.’ The truth is if you give your life to the Lord, there may be a season where things get worse.” - Jay Lowder “Knowing Jesus goes way beyond just going to heaven. It even goes beyond being forgiven. It goes to a Friend that's closer than a brother that wants to walk with you, lead you, and guide you. And it goes back to the verse that I heard the night I met Jesus. Christ said, ‘I came to give you not just life, I came to give you an abundant life.’” - Jay Lowder “We would go and do missions work wherever we would land—my family would just find somewhere or someone to love on.” - Riley Kehoe The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami hit the coast of Southeast Asia and with it took 230,000 lives. We were among the few that were survivors.” - Riley Kehoe “I was so confused at the moment, Why are we not leaving this island as quickly as we can? I want to just get back to my life in New Zealand. I want to snuggle my pony and be in my bed. My mom told us, ‘Hey, girls, we're going to stay. We need to have courage to care for others right now, and we need to help these people who have lost absolutely everything.’” - Riley Kehoe “I just want to encourage anyone that there is light and that Jesus will redeem, and He will be with you in your pain and your suffering. He promises to be close to the brokenhearted.” - Riley Kehoe ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
