    Jesus felt this emotion the most!? Compassion and the Character of God.

    What does Jesus actually feel when he looks at you — worn out, knocked flat, barely holding on? The Gospels have a word for it. And it's nothing like the soft, managed thing we usually call "compassion." Today Brandon and Matt dig into Matthew 9:36, the Greek behind two of the most overlooked words in the Gospels, and a gut-level emotion that drove everything Jesus did. Then we close with an imaginative exercise to help you actually receive it — not just understand it.

    Grace Potatoes? Does the Gospel make us lazy!?

    A listener asked a question we couldn't stop thinking about: if nothing we do saves us, are we just supposed to sit back and let Jesus do everything? Are we "grace potatoes"? This episode untangles what it actually means to work on your relationship with God — and why the real question might be bigger and better than you realized.

    What's Left When the System Fails? – With Anselm Society’s Terri Fisher

    When the structures we lean on for spiritual safety collapse, what remains? Terri Fisher joins Liv Booth and tells her story of leaving a “mechanized faith” and spiritually abusive past and discovering a quieter and more durable faith. After years in rigid ideological communities that promised predictable outcomes, Terri found herself without words, stripped of spiritual identity, and wondering whether to stay in the faith at all. Ancient prayers, creeds she didn't write, and a liturgy that turned out to be bigger on the inside, rescued her.  Terri and Liv also discuss how Tolkien's daily mass shaped The Lord of the Rings, why humility matters more than confidence, and how attentiveness, to your kids, to the birds, to the onion you're cutting, might be the most practical spiritual discipline there is.

    Do you want to become whole?

    In this episode, we read John 5:1-18 together and enter the story of a man who's been disabled for 38 years. We ask the question Jesus asks him: do you actually want to become whole? Not just relieved. Not just a little better. Whole.  Links: Death Comes to the Soul: The Vulnerable Christian in Distress — Fr.

    What Is Your Soul Thirsty For? The Woman at the Well.

    In this episode, we read John 4 together and invite you to enter the story of the woman at the well with us. As we go, we reflect on soul thirst, the deeper questions that drive our lives, and the way Jesus makes himself available to people who feel ashamed, skeptical, or far from God. This is a slow, prayerful episode for anyone who needs to be reminded what Jesus is really like.        Links: Books and other things referenced in the show John 1:1-7:1 - Concordia Commentary by William C Weinrich https://amzn.to/41B0JwZ Friends of big bear valley eagle cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-L2nfGcuE Connect with us: Email us at podcast@signpostinn.org Facebook www.facebook.com/SignpostInn Instagram www.instagram.com/signpostinn Check out our website www.signpostinn.org for more resources!

    Grief Exhaustion: When You Are Tired of Being Tired

    This episode releases on Good Friday, and we're leaning into the gravity of the day. We explore the universal experience of grief exhaustion—that bone-deep weariness that comes from living in a world marked by loss, disappointment, and unrelenting demands. We give you permission to name it: life IS hard. Then we ask the harder question: what do exhausted people actually need? And we discover that God offers more than mere presence. Through Jesus—the One who has been through the worst grief and emerged victorious—God provides divine solidity, not just solidarity. He holds, carries, and transforms our grief, making it participate in his death-and-resurrection pattern. We grieve, but not as those without hope.
