    The Three Kinds of People You Meet on the Way to the Cross

    If you've ever wondered why carrying the cross feels lighter with faith, this episode reveals the divine promise that Jesus’s yoke is easy—and how love, service, and prayer are the keys to carrying it with joy.

    When It's Time to Build Something More Than Buildings

    This episode centers on Mark 13:1–2 and Jesus’s warning that the temple, despite its grandeur, will be torn down stone by stone. J.D. reflects on how easily people, communities, and even churches can turn buildings into idols, confusing impressive structures with the real purpose behind them. He connects the temple warning to Jeremiah’s critique of empty religious confidence, arguing that what matters most is not the building itself but justice, faithfulness, and a living relationship with God. The second half of the episode turns that idea into a practical invitation: stop defining life by what we own or build, and instead invest in people. The closing hymn, “Standing on the Promises,” reinforces the theme of reliance on Christ rather than on outward appearances or human effort. The episode ends with a simple challenge to listen for who Jesus might want you to encourage today and to act on that prompting right away.

    When Two Cents Is Worth More Than A Million Dollars

    This episode is a Monday morning devotional centered on Mark 12:41–44, the story of the widow’s two small copper coins. J.D. uses that passage to show how Jesus measures value differently than the world does: the widow’s tiny gift is greater than the rich people’s large offerings because it comes from total surrender, not abundance. That theme is connected to the larger call of discipleship — not just believing in Jesus, but abiding in him, fixing our minds on him, and learning to think with the mind of Christ. The second half of the episode focuses on Philippians 2:5–11 and the idea of becoming more like Jesus through the renewal of the mind. J.D. contrasts ego-driven living with a life surrendered to God, using memorable wordplay and prayerful language to encourage listeners to let God reshape their identity. He closes by inviting the audience into worship, reflection, and practical application, while also previewing a guest teacher who will lead the show the following week.

    A Prayer on the Side of the Road (with Katie Zettle)

    This episode centers on everyday obedience to the Holy Spirit and the idea that interruptions can become moments of ministry. Dan introduces the theme with a reflection on staying attentive to God’s prompting in ordinary life, then shares Katie Zettle’s story as a living example of what it looks like to “keep your sails up” and respond when God nudges you to pray for someone. The message is simple but powerful: God may be inviting listeners to pause, notice, and partner with him in blessing the people already around them. Katie’s story is the heart of the episode. While driving to church, she saw a woman and two small children walking along a busy road and felt the Holy Spirit prompt her to pray for them. She turned around twice to reach them, asked to pray, learned their names, and even helped connect them with resources. The encounter reminded her that faithfulness often looks like interrupting your schedule to serve someone else, and Dan closes by encouraging listeners to carry that same posture into their own communities, families, and daily routines. CHAPTERS: 03:16 Introduction to the Holy Spirit's Influence 04:10 Katie's Transformative Encounter 06:54 Understanding the Prompting of the Holy Spirit 08:51 The Impact of Obedience and Service 09:53 The Power of Prayer and Community 12:49 Listening to God's Guidance in Daily Life - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sing along with us! ► https://seedbed.com/hymnal/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Get the Wake-Up Call in your email each day ► https://seedbed.com/wakeupcall ⛪️ Are you a pastor?

    The Difference between the Power of Prayer and the Power of God

    This episode centers on Mark 11 and the difference between the power of prayer and the power of God. The speaker argues that Jesus’s teaching on faith is not a blank check for “name it and claim it,” but a call to trust God’s sovereignty, live in constant prayer, and understand prayer as a relationship of receiving rather than begging. He ties the lesson to discipleship, saying followers of Jesus learn who God is by watching Jesus and by allowing the Spirit and the Word to shape their prayers. A major emphasis is forgiveness, which he presents as the one thing that can block the life of faith and prayer. He explains forgiveness as choosing not to retaliate or nourish bitterness, then urges listeners to examine where they need to trust God most in real life. The episode closes with a practical, encouraging challenge to receive God’s provision by faith, give generously in anticipation, and live as people being awakened and strengthened by Christ. CHAPTERS: 00:04 The Power of Prayer and God 01:24 Understanding Faith and Prayer 07:29 The Role of Forgiveness in Prayer 10:14 Shifting from Asking to Receiving 15:21 Recognizing the Authenticity of Faith 18:43 Taking Practical Steps in Faith - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sing along with us! ► https://seedbed.com/hymnal/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Get the Wake-Up Call in your email each day ► https://seedbed.com/wakeupcall ⛪️ Are you a pastor?

    How Jesus Kicks Our Value System to the Curb

    This episode centers on Jesus’s teaching from Mark 10 and the challenge it presents to ordinary ideas about success, wealth, and spiritual worth. J. D. Walt reflects on how Jesus overturns the common belief that wealth signals God’s favor, instead showing that the kingdom of God cannot be entered by human achievement or merit. The message is that what seems impossible for people is possible for God, and that following Jesus means entrusting everything to him rather than trying to bring our own credentials. From there, the episode turns personal and devotional, emphasizing humility, dependence, and the idea that “nothing” offered to Jesus becomes “everything” when it is surrendered to him. J.D. shares stories, journal reflections, and prayers about ego, poverty of spirit, and learning to live in daily reliance on Christ. The episode closes with a hymn sing of “I Need Thee Every Hour” and a warm reminder that Jesus is not only needed but wanted, reinforcing the heart of the episode: a life of ongoing trust, surrender, and intimate relationship with God. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Morning Prayer 01:39 Understanding Wealth and the Kingdom of God 09:13 The Journey of Nothingness and Ego 14:42 Embracing Poverty of Spirit 15:11 The Need for Divine Presence 18:00 Desiring a Relationship with Jesus 21:03 Community and Connection in Faith - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sing along with us! ► https://seedbed.com/hymnal/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Get the Wake-Up Call in your email each day ► https://seedbed.com/wakeupcall ⛪️ Are you a pastor?

    The Problem with Lazy Faith and the Way Beyond It

    Most of us live in a space between belief and unbelief, unsure if we’re fully trusting or still doubting. But what if embracing that messy middle—that honest, raw honesty about our doubts—could actually deepen our faith? JD Walt explores the radical truth that faith isn’t about perfect belief but about bringing our doubts into the light and surrendering fully to Jesus. In this episode, you’ll discover how Jesus responds not to perfect faith, but to authentic honesty—like the father in Mark 9: “I believe, help my unbelief.” We break down why living in that tension is crucial and how prayer isn’t just a practice, but a radical way of living that disrupts cycles of dependency and doubt. JD shares insights about divine revelation, how the Holy Spirit convinces us of truth we can’t grasp on our own, and why prayer stands at the heart of genuine faith. You’ll also hear inspiring stories of those who have wrestled with disappointment and disbelief, yet found hope in abandoning perfection and embracing honesty. If you’ve ever felt the weight of doubt or struggled to trust again, this episode is a hopeful call to surrender all—belief and unbelief alike—and to live in a faith big enough for both.

    On the Difference between Faith and Risk Management

    This episode centers on the difference between faith and risk management. Drawing from Mark 8:11–21, J.D. Walt contrasts the Pharisees’s demand for a sign with Jesus’s call to trust, arguing that faith is not about demanding certainty or collecting endless data. Instead, faith is described as a deep inner confidence in God’s goodness, power, and faithfulness—a willingness to lean in even when the outcome is not fully visible. The second half turns that teaching into an encouragement for daily life. J. D. invites listeners to examine what holds them back from faith—fear of failure, looking foolish, disappointment, or a wilderness wound from past hurt—and to take a practical step back toward trust, including reconnecting with church community. The episode closes with a hymn sung as a prayerful reminder that real faith means trusting Jesus more, choosing courage over caution, and returning to relationship with God with an open heart. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Morning Prayer 01:27 Exploring Faith vs. Risk Management 07:59 The Nature of Faith and Risk 09:11 Overcoming Barriers to Faith 11:43 Call to Action: Reconnecting with Faith 12:27 Introduction to Faith and Risk 15:42 The Power of Trust in Jesus 18:32 Leaning In: Overcoming Disappointment - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sing along with us! ► https://seedbed.com/hymnal/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Get the Wake-Up Call in your email each day ► https://seedbed.com/wakeupcall ⛪️ Are you a pastor?
