Jesus: The Word What if we stopped reading the Bible simply as a collection of stories and began reading it as one story—the story of Jesus? In this episode, Abby and Sally take a journey through Scripture, tracing the threads that point to Jesus from Genesis through the Old Testament and into the Gospels. From creation, Noah, Abraham and Isaac, Joseph, Moses and the Passover, Joshua, David, the prophets, and the promises of the coming Messiah, we explore the beautiful ways Scripture continually points us toward the Savior. Jesus wasn't God's backup plan. He wasn't an afterthought. He was always the point. He is the Word, the promise, the Passover Lamb, the Redeemer, the Shepherd, the Savior, the King, and ultimately the One who makes all things new. Our prayer is that this conversation would encourage you to open your Bible with fresh eyes—not simply looking for what Scripture can tell you about yourself, but looking for what it reveals about God's heart and His love for humanity. And in today's trauma-informed segment, we talk about something every person encounters at some point: rejection. For those who have experienced trauma, rejection can sometimes touch wounds that go much deeper than the moment itself. We talk about the ways rejection can show up as people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, anger, withdrawal, insecurity, or the belief that someone else's rejection somehow means something about our worth. But rejection does not define you. Someone can reject you without God rejecting you. Someone can leave you without God leaving you. Someone can fail to recognize your worth without God losing sight of who He created you to be. Healing doesn't mean pretending we weren't hurt. It means learning that our hurt doesn't have to define us. So take a breath, open your Bible, and come discover the One who has been there from the beginning. Jesus is the prize. Jesus is the promise. Jesus is the hope. Jesus is the Word.
