My Sheep Know My Voice: The Good Shepherd Continued – John 10:22–42 In Episode 140 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue their journey through John 10 as Jesus boldly reveals His identity during the Feast of Dedication. In John 10:22–42, Jesus declares that His sheep hear His voice, He knows them, and no one can snatch them from His hand. As opposition intensifies, Jesus continues to point people to the evidence of His works and His unity with the Father. This passage is a powerful reminder of the security, assurance, and intimacy believers have in Christ. Together, Jamie and Jane explore what it means to recognize the Shepherd's voice, trust His leadership, and rest in the confidence that we belong to Him. Whether you're struggling with doubt, seeking direction, or longing for deeper intimacy with God, this conversation will encourage you to listen closely to the voice of the One who calls you by name. Am I listening to the voice of the Good Shepherd—or allowing other voices to shape my identity and direction? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Exodus 3:7 makes God's heart unmistakable: He heard the cries of His people, He knew their suffering, and He was already moving toward deliverance—even when the days turned into years and hope started to wobble. In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef speaks to anyone standing at the crossroads of hope and doubt. God's timing can feel slow, but it is never careless. He will not be late—He will be right on time. Like David, we learn to wait with courage and confidence: “I will see the goodness of the LORD… Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart” (Psalm 27:13–14). You'll also see how God used Moses' “set-aside” season. After trying to force the outcome in his own strength, Moses was drawn into the wilderness for decades—not as punishment, but as preparation. God was quieting his pride, tempering his impulses, and shaping him into a leader who would trust and obey. If you feel shelved, stalled, or forgotten, this devotional offers a steady perspective: God wastes nothing. Keep your obedience sincere, your surrender unconditional, and your hope anchored in His promises. Prayer: God, I come to You in a difficult place. I pray that Your will would be accomplished in this season of my life. Help me to trust You and wait on You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “But while Joseph was there in the prison, the Lord was with him, . . .” (Genesis 39:20-21).  Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Joseph spent years confined in an Egyptian dungeon for a crime he did not commit. Yet God was not absent—He was refining Joseph's faith, strengthening him with His presence, and preparing him for promises that would be fulfilled in God's time, not Joseph's. In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef encourages a different kind of praying when you feel stuck: don't only pray for a way out—pray for God's will to be worked into you. If the Lord is using hardship to discipline, correct, or mature you, receive it with humility so you don't miss His purpose. Trying to manipulate God's will through prayer only produces frustration; faith learns to wait. Dr. Youssef then turns to Jesus in Gethsemane—the perfect model of surrendered prayer: “Not as I will, but as you will” (Matthew 26:39) and “may your will be done” (Matthew 26:42). Christ taught His disciples to pray the same way (Matthew 6:10), because real victory in trials comes through submission, not control. When you're weary, ask the Holy Spirit to help you pray, to intercede, and to deepen your grasp of God's love—so you can trust and obey in the valley as confidently as on the mountaintop. Prayer: God, I come to You in a difficult place. I pray that Your will would be accomplished in this season of my life. Help me to trust You and wait on You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “But while Joseph was there in the prison, the Lord was with him, . . .” (Genesis 39:20-21).  Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

From the bottom of a pit to the halls of power, Joseph's life is a masterclass in God's providence. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef walks through Joseph's painful timeline: rejected by brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused, imprisoned—and then forgotten once again when the cupbearer failed to speak up. Years passed. Promises seemed delayed. And yet God was orchestrating every moment. When Joseph finally interpreted Pharaoh's dream, God elevated him to prepare Egypt for famine—using Joseph's suffering to preserve nations and save countless lives (Genesis 41:56–57). By the time Joseph reunited with his brothers, he could say with clarity and peace: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good” (Genesis 50:20). Whether you're hurting in the “pit,” waiting in the “prison,” or rejoicing in a breakthrough season, this devotional calls you to ask God for Joseph's perspective—thank Him for what He has done, trust Him for what He will do, and rest in the truth that God wastes nothing as He faithfully leads you through every valley and victory. Prayer: God, thank You for Your faithfulness to redeem painful events in my life. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives" (Genesis 50:20).  Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

The Good Shepherd: Known, Called, and Protected – John 10:1–21 In Episode 139 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore one of the most beloved passages in the Gospel of John: Jesus, the Good Shepherd. In John 10:1–21, Jesus reveals His heart for His people, declaring that He knows His sheep by name, leads them with care, and lays down His life for them. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it means to recognize the voice of the Shepherd in a world full of competing voices, how Jesus offers abundant life beyond mere survival, and why His sacrificial love sets Him apart from every other leader. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that you are not forgotten, overlooked, or wandering alone—you are known, pursued, and deeply loved by the Good Shepherd. Whose voice am I listening to most—and how is it shaping the direction of my life? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Exhortation

Most of us have prayed prayers that felt like they went nowhere. Shouted into silence. Kept doing the right thing while quietly wondering whether God was actually listening. That's not a modern problem, it's what Habakkuk is doing from the opening lines of his book.In this introduction to our new series Living by Faith, Tim Anderson sets the stage for one of the most honest, human books in the Bible. A nation in moral collapse. Empires rising and falling around them. And a prophet who refuses to pretend everything is fine, and takes his confusion straight to God. The question Habakkuk asks is one believers have asked in every generation: how long, Lord?Kicking off the Living by Faith series through the book of Habakkuk.

As a little girl, I got so excited when I’d see special signs appear on the side of the road. I thought colorful signs meant my family had arrived at the popular amusement park we were driving to. I’d joyfully start gathering my things, only to be disappointed to see more signs and have to wait even longer before we reached the park. It took me several visits to realize those signs announced that visitors were getting closer but were still miles away. Like a child excited about going to an amusement park and wondering “are we there yet?,” as adults we can also be impatient and anxious to arrive at our next destination. Waiting for God to move in our lives, or to rescue us from our trials, can be challenging. David was facing much adversity, which he mentions throughout Psalm 27, yet he still placed his hope and trust in God and waited for Him to respond. David didn’t know how long it would take for God to act, but he knew God would help him. “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” (v. 13). It may take longer than we’d like to experience our breakthrough, but let’s take courage as we read, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” (v. 14). When we’re finding it hard to wait on God, we can turn to the Psalms and the rest of Scripture for encouragement. And we can take comfort in knowing God is working even while we wait.

Amazing Grace: The Blind Man Who Finally Saw – John 9 In Episode 138 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 9, the powerful story of a man born blind who encounters Jesus and receives his sight. But this miracle is about more than physical healing—it's about spiritual awakening, identity, and what it truly means to see. As the healed man grows in boldness and the religious leaders grow in resistance, this chapter reveals the difference between outward religion and genuine transformation. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack how Jesus meets us in brokenness, how suffering is not wasted, and why sometimes the people who think they see clearly can still miss the heart of God. This conversation is an invitation to let Jesus open your eyes—not just to healing, but to who He truly is. Where might Jesus be inviting me to see differently—about Him, myself, or others? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Waiting on God may take days, weeks or many years. As we continue in the series “Teach Me To Pray,” we are reminded in 1 Samuel that silence from God does not mean absence from God! While we are in the waiting, we are to put ourselves in the best position to see and hear from God. His plans and timing are best and we must trust Him!

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Waiting On God With Whole Heart! Today we're opening up Psalm 25, and I want to tell you right up front — this is one of those passages that feels like it was written yesterday. David wrote this psalm at a time when he was surrounded by enemies, weighed down by his own sin, and genuinely unsure which way to turn. And yet, instead of running away from God, he ran toward Him. He lifted his soul up like an open hand and said, "Lord, I'm trusting You. Teach me. Lead me. Forgive me." Sound familiar? It should. Because most of us are living in that same tension right now. In today's message — "Waiting on God with Whole Heart" — we're going to walk through three powerful truths. 1.     First, that real trust means surrendering your direction to God. 2.     Second, that God's guidance flows out of His deep, covenant love — what the Hebrew calls hesed. 3.     And third, that honest confession unlocks both God's forgiveness and His friendship. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

On today's Take 2 with Jerry & Debbie our topic is: What's Something You're Still Waiting on God for?

Whom the Son Sets Free: Truth, Identity, and Freedom – John 8:13–59 In Episode 136 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane unpack the powerful words of Jesus in John 8:13–59, where He confronts spiritual blindness, reveals His identity, and declares the life-changing truth: “Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” As tension builds between Jesus and the religious leaders, this passage explores what it means to truly know the Father, abide in truth, and experience freedom beyond religion, performance, or bondage to sin. Together, Jamie and Jane discuss how truth isn't just information—it's a person. And when we remain in Jesus, freedom becomes more than a concept—it becomes a transformed way of living. This conversation is an invitation to let go of false identities, hidden chains, and striving, and step fully into the freedom only Christ can give.. What lie or bondage am I still carrying that Jesus is inviting me to surrender to His truth? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Grace and Truth: Go and Sin No More – John 8:1–12 In Episode 135 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into one of the most powerful moments in the Gospel of John—John 8:1–12, where a woman caught in adultery is brought before Jesus. In a scene filled with accusation, shame, and judgment, Jesus responds with both grace and truth, silencing the crowd and restoring dignity with the words: “Neither do I condemn you… go and sin no more.” Together, they unpack what it means to live in the tension of forgiveness and transformation, how Jesus meets us in our brokenness without leaving us there, and why His light exposes not to shame—but to heal. This conversation invites you to release condemnation, receive grace, and step into a new way of living. Am I living under condemnation—or walking in the freedom Jesus already gave me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Who Is Jesus? Pride, Jealousy, and the Battle for Belief – John 7:25–52 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 7:25–52, where confusion, pride, and jealousy collide around one central question: Who is Jesus? As the crowd debates His identity and the religious leaders resist Him, we see how hardened hearts can miss what's right in front of them. Together, they unpack how pride can block revelation, how jealousy distorts truth, and why humility is essential to truly see Jesus for who He is. This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts—are we open to truth, or are we filtering Jesus through our own expectations? If you've ever wrestled with doubt, comparison, or control, this conversation will call you back to simple, surrendered belief. Is there anything in my heart—pride, fear, or expectation—that's keeping me from fully seeing Jesus for who He is? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

God gave Joseph a dream that took years of hardship until it was fulfilled. Joseph's story is encouraging to us because God used specific places and people to give Joseph a leg up along the way to finally get him to where He needed him to be. God can use our lives, no matter how messy it seems, if we would just trust Him with the pieces and take every step at a time.

Knowing Who You Are helps you step up and be who God has called you to be.

In this episode of Breathing Underwater Margaux explores the spiritual discipline of waiting, reframing its importance and purpose.Waiting is counter cultural. There is nothing in our modern culture that encourages us to wait. It is however apart of God's culture and we don't need to fear that we have done something wrong or are being withheld from. Waiting is apart of Christian life and even though it is not popular.Waiting on God is hard, but it is worship unto Him. Because waiting for him requires trust and faith in his voice, his word and his character! He considers it a breaking of the alabaster jar, washing his feet with a costly perfume.We explore questions like:Is waiting biblical?Why is waiting so hard?When does waiting become delay and what do we do about it?We hope you gain some clarity and encouragement for your journey in this episode.Prophetic word from Tim Sheets: No More DelayWe are going TOGETHER: BREATHING UNDERWATER MEMBERSHIPSMore on Breathing Underwater Memberships HEREJoin the Community and Newsletter: HERE Email: margaux@permissiontoreign.comInstagram: @permission_to_reignIntro Music by Coma-Media from PixabayImage by Claire Fischer from Unsplash

Are you in a season where nothing seems to be moving? The Bible shows that waiting is never wasted. In Acts of the Apostles 1:4–5, Jesus told His disciples to wait for the promise—and that waiting season became the foundation for power in Acts 2. This message breaks down what God is doing in the "in-between" moments and how to respond when you feel tested, stretched, or uncertain. You'll learn: Why waiting is a spiritual test, not a setback How patience prepares you for God's promises The importance of unity and prayer during pressure Practical ways to hear God's voice clearly How giving grace to others impacts your own growth Scriptures referenced: Acts of the Apostles 1:4–14 – Waiting for the promise Acts of the Apostles 2:1–4 – The coming of the Holy Spirit Second Epistle of Peter 3:9 – God's patience and promise Book of Isaiah 40:31 – Strength in waiting Gospel of John 10:27 – Hearing the Shepherd's voice If you feel like you're being tested right now, this message will help you stay grounded, focused, and ready for what's next.

Misunderstood & Unbelieved: When Even Family Doesn't See – John 7:1–24 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 7:1–24, where even Jesus' own brothers struggle to believe in Him. As tension rises and expectations clash, Jesus moves with quiet confidence—refusing to be driven by pressure, timing, or public opinion. Together, they unpack what it means to trust God's timing when others don't understand your calling, how to stay grounded when belief around you feels shaky, and why obedience often looks like restraint, not reaction. This passage reminds us that being misunderstood doesn't mean you're off track—it may mean you're walking in step with God. If you've ever felt unseen, questioned, or pressured to prove yourself, this conversation will encourage you to stay rooted in truth and trust the timing of the Father. Where am I feeling pressure to prove something—and is God actually inviting me to trust His timing instead? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Have you noticed how quickly disappointment follows when expectations are placed on the wrong things—people, circumstances, plans, even your own strength? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that only God's promises can carry the full weight of our expectations. Dr. Youssef takes us to Luke 2:25–35, where we meet Simeon—an ordinary man with extraordinary hope. Simeon had spent his life waiting for the Messiah, trusting God's Word that he would personally see the Christ. After years of watching and waiting, Simeon finally held the infant Jesus in his arms and prayed with calm certainty: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised… you may now dismiss your servant in peace” (Luke 2:29–32). Simeon wasn't shocked that God came through—he expected it, because his hope was rooted in the faithfulness of God. This devotional will help you contrast Simeon's steady confidence with the shaky expectations we often place on this world—and call you to re-anchor your heart in what never fails. God's timing may stretch longer than you'd like and His methods may surprise you, but He will always fulfill His promises. Prayer: God, help me to place my expectations in You, not in this world. I know that You will never disappoint me. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God” (Psalm 42:11). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Whether a job, guidance, finances, relationships - Whatever it is...Sometimes we want God to provide it sooner. He makes us wait. Listens as our Pastor shares from scripture on waiting.

Habakkuk ministered in a tense moment in Israel's history—when Babylon was rising and judgment was approaching—yet the heart of his book is deeply personal: moving from impatience and confusion to steadfast trust in God's timing. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef walks through Habakkuk's prayer in chapter 3 and points to three features that can reshape your own prayer life when answers feel delayed: Humility before God: Habakkuk begins by questioning God's silence (Habakkuk 1:2), but ends with reverent awe—learning to submit his perspective to God's sovereignty. Adoration of God: Instead of using prayer only to get solutions, Habakkuk models prayer as worship—asking to know God more and responding in obedience. Focus on God's work: Habakkuk pleads for mercy and awakening—not because the people deserve it, but because he longs for God's Name to be glorified. Where many sink into anger, depression, or prayerlessness when heaven feels quiet, Habakkuk turns delay into discipleship—asking, in effect, “Lord, what are You teaching me? How can I trust You more?” This devotional will help you pray through waiting seasons with faith, perspective, and joy that isn't dependent on circumstances. Prayer: Father, may I set my heart on You, the God of grace, wisdom, and sovereign power. I believe Your promises and will wait on You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  Scripture Focus: “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior” (Habakkuk 3:17-18).  *This devotional adapted from Life-Changing Prayers by Michael Youssef © 2018.

Don't Be Afraid, I Am: Walking on Water & the Bread of Life – John 6:16–71 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane journey through John 6:16–71, where Jesus reveals both His power over the storm and His identity as the Bread of Life. From walking on water to declaring “I am the bread of life,” this passage invites us to trust Him not just for provision—but for everything. As the crowd wrestles with His words and many turn away, Jamie and Jane unpack the tension between following Jesus for what He gives versus trusting Him for who He is. This conversation challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level faith and choose belief—even when it's hard to understand. Because in the end, the question remains: Will we walk away—or will we stay? Am I following Jesus for what He can do—or for who He is? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Summary Why is it often easier to trust God with eternity than with today? In this sermon on Psalm 25, Dr. Michael Easley walks through David's honest prayer and exposes a tension many believers feel: we trust Christ to save us forever, but struggle to trust Him with our health, family, future, finances, pain, and uncertainty right now. David's prayer is raw, vulnerable, and deeply relatable. He is surrounded by enemies, burdened by sin, and desperate for God's help—yet he keeps coming back to the character of God. This message reminds us that God is not only the God who saves us in the end, but the God who leads us in the middle. He teaches sinners, guides the humble, forgives the guilty, and meets the lonely and afflicted with compassion and steadfast love. Michael highlights how spiritual maturity is often formed not through ease, but through pain, waiting, and dependence. At the center of the psalm is a simple but powerful prayer: “Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.” And the good news is that God forgives not because we ask perfectly, but because forgiveness is part of His very character. If you are weary, waiting, hurting, or struggling to trust God in the unknown, this sermon will meet you there. Takeaways: Many believers trust God for salvation but struggle to trust Him with the daily uncertainties of life. Psalm 25 shows that David brought both his external troubles and internal sin honestly before the Lord. God's compassion and lovingkindness are rooted in His covenant character, not in our performance. The Lord delights to teach, lead, and instruct those who are humble enough to learn. God forgives for His name's sake, which means our hope rests in His character, not our ability to ask perfectly. Waiting is often one of God's primary tools for spiritual growth, maturity, and deeper trust. To read the Psalms, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

More Than Enough: Feeding the 5,000 – John 6:1–14 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 6:1–14, the miraculous feeding of the 5,000. What begins with scarcity—five loaves and two fish—becomes a powerful display of Jesus' provision, compassion, and authority. Together, they unpack what it means to bring what we have to Jesus, trust Him in moments that feel insufficient, and believe that He is a God of abundance—not limitation. This conversation invites you to release the pressure to have “enough” and instead place what's in your hands into His. What am I holding onto that Jesus is asking me to place in His hands? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Waiting messes with all of us. It makes us impatient, anxious, and weirdly convinced that if we just hustle harder, we can force clarity. But what if the delay isn't a detour and what if it's where Jesus does some of his deepest work?We walk through Luke 8 as one connected story, not a random set of Bible scenes. Jesus teaches, calms a storm, confronts demons, heals long-term sickness, and even raises the dead, all pointing to one big truth: Jesus has authority everywhere, over everything. From that tension, we build a simple “field guide for waiting on God” with four anchors: expect, wait, believe, and attention. We talk about why unmet expectations can shrink your faith, how delays can function like a spiritual test that forms you, and how the voice of cynicism tries to end your hope early. 

He Is One with the Father: The Authority of Jesus – John 5:16–47 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 5:16–47, where Jesus reveals His deep unity with the Father and the authority He carries. As tension rises with religious leaders, Jesus makes bold claims about who He is—equal with God, giver of life, and ultimate judge. Together, they unpack what it means that Jesus does nothing apart from the Father, how Scripture points directly to Him, and why belief is more than knowledge—it's relationship. This conversation challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level faith and into a deeper trust in the One who perfectly reflects the heart of God. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

What do you do when you pray—and nothing seems to change? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef walks through the prophet Habakkuk's struggle with unanswered prayer and unexpected answers. Instead of letting disappointment harden his heart, Habakkuk turned delay into discipleship—using the agony of waiting to grow in trust, strengthen faith, and align his will with God's. Dr. Youssef explains that God was going to answer Habakkuk—just not how or when the prophet expected. Revival would come, but first God would bring judgment to awaken a people who had ignored His warnings for generations. Even then, the Lord preserved a faithful remnant and anchored them with an unshakable promise: no matter how dark the times become, God remains in control of history and watches over His people. Tucked inside Habakkuk is a line that later shaped Paul's teaching on salvation and ignited the Reformation: “the righteous person will live by his faithfulness” (Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17). This devotional calls you to that same steady obedience—remaining faithful whether God says yes, no, or not yet. Prayer: Father, thank You that You are near even when Your answer is no or not yet. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  Today's MY Devotional has been provided by Leading The Way. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.

Rise and Walk: Healing at Bethesda – John 5:1–15 In Episode 127 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 5:1–15, the powerful story of the man healed at the pool of Bethesda. After 38 years of waiting, Jesus steps in with a simple yet life-changing command: “Get up, pick up your mat and walk.” Together, they unpack what it means to move from waiting to obedience, how Jesus meets us in places of disappointment and limitation, and why healing often requires a response of faith. This conversation invites you to consider where you may have grown comfortable in what's familiar—and how Jesus is calling you to rise into something new. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams
