Step into Matthew 25:31–46, where Jesus, speaking on the Mount of Olives, paints a vivid picture of the Son of Man separating the sheep and the goats. He draws our attention to the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, and the imprisoned—revealing that whatever is done for “the least of these” is done to Him.

As we sit with this passage, we gently wrestle with the tension it can bring alongside the truth of salvation by grace through faith. We consider how genuine faith doesn’t remain still, but moves—belief and action woven together in a life that follows Him.

We also reflect on who “the least of these” may be pointing to, while holding a posture of love toward all people. And in a quiet moment, we invite the Holy Spirit to open our eyes and hearts… to show us who He is calling us to see, to love, and to serve.

Jesus enters Jerusalem and the crowds yell, "Hosanna!" It is said that most of them probably thought Jesus was the Messiah—but that what He came to do was different than what they might have imagined. They most likely expected a ruler (like the prophet Nathan told them would come), but Jesus first came as a suffering servant (Isaiah 53). In today's episode we mediate on the meaning of Hosanna and what it means for our lives today. "Save us!"

Jesus heals the crowds and feeds 4,000 with seven loaves and a few small fish, leaving seven basketfuls leftover. He should expect praise. But Jesus didn't live for His own hype. What can we learn about a life of contentment from His contentment?

Together, we consider our temptation to crave accolades and a better way to live.

In this episode, we meditate on Matthew 13:44–52, reflecting on what we value most—land how Jesus describes the Kingdom of Heaven as a treasure and a pearl worth selling everything to obtain. As well as Jesus describing the kingdom like a net that ultimately separates the good from the bad. 

We consider what it means to be a true disciple, whether we’re willing to sacrifice what’s needed to follow Christ, and what might need to change in the ways we’ve not been living for the kingdom as our greatest treasure.

Jesus started his earthly ministry with focus. He knew His purpose. In this episode we mediate on the beginning of Jesus' ministry and consider: If the King of all Kings focused and didn't try to do everything, maybe it's okay that we can't be everywhere and do everything too. Just like he focused with purpose, we can too.

Family lines are messy and Jesus' genealogy is no exception. In this episode, we explore the genealogy of Jesus presented in Matthew 1, revealing a lineage filled with imperfect people, yet marked by grace. As we meditate on these names, we see how Jesus transforms our own flawed histories into stories of redemption.

-----

Consider: What messiness exists in your family, and how can you invite Jesus’ grace into those areas? Reflect and pray for your family members as we uncover the beauty of God’s grace through generations.

Key Takeaway:
No family lineage is too flawed for God's grace to redeem. Jesus transforms our sin-stained genealogies into testimonies of His mercy.

In the first teaching of the “Numbering Our Days” series, we slow down with Matthew 6:28–34 and let Jesus’ words cut through our anxiety about tomorrow.

If you’re tired of setting goals from a place of worry instead of trust, hit play and let this Scripture-based reflection re-center your heart—and your plans—on Christ.

In today's meditation, we find ourselves in the time of the divided kingdom of Israel. King Ahaziah died, and his mother Athaliah, daughter of Jezebel, sought to destroy the heirs to the throne of David. Yet, the promise of God persisted.

 Jehoshabah courageously saved young Joash, preventing Athaliah's plans, showing that every act of courageous faith is significant. 

Reflect on this story in a deep meditative episode where you might find the strength and courage for whatever you may face that requires faithful acts like Jehosheba demonstrated.

This episode explores a pivotal moment in Rebekah's life. Would she go and live in a distant land with a stranger? Would she accept that the Lord led Abraham's servant to her? Or would she choose to stay in her home town? In this story we face the crucial moments of our own lives. Will we go where the Lord leads us?

The story of the Old Testament brings us to an episode of angels rescuing Lot and his wife and daughters from the wrath of God, destroying wicked Sodom and Gomorrah. As we slowly meditate on this passage, we can see our own hearts—are we the ones to run after the Lord and what He says, or do we turn back? Listen to encourage your faith to run focused on the Lord.

Join us on a journey through the Bible as we explore the stories of the powerful women in the Old Testament. In our new series, "Women in the Old Testament Story," we dive into the lives of the often-overlooked female figures in Scripture.

Who are they? How do their lives contribute to the story of God? What can we learn from them?

Each episode will bring these women to life, showing how their stories contribute to our understanding of who God is, who we are, and how to grow in out relationship with Him.

This first episode focuses on the creation account and the unity that existed between the first man and woman. What can we learn about unity from their story?

The Jewish leaders poured over the Scriptures, convinced that eternal life was found within them. Yet, the very one the Scriptures pointed to was standing right in front of them, and they failed to recognize Him. In this episode we consider our own hearts—are we more concerned with knowing information about God than being in a relationship with God?

Jesus heals a lame man in Jerusalem who had been that way for many years, but there is no mention of that man's faith. As we meditate on this week's passage, we see the stark contrast compared to previous passages in this series. The Gentiles believed—even without miracles, like the Samaritans. But Jesus' own people, the Israelites are slow to faith.

Are we slow to faith? Do we miss God at work in our lives? Do we lack belief?

Listen to this episode and draw closer to God through faith.

Join us in today’s episode as we explore John 4, where Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at the well. As we meditate on this passage, we witness Jesus breaking cultural barriers to reveal His identity as the Messiah. Pay close attention to the conversation between Jesus and the woman as they discuss living water, true worship, and the relationship God desires with us. Worship is more than actions; it's a heartfelt response to God’s Spirit and truth. Take a moment to reflect, breathe, and embrace worship as a living relationship with our Creator.

In this episode, we meditate on a passage in Ephesians 5 and consider what walking in love looks like for Christ followers.

Here are three key takeaways:

1️⃣ Walking in Love: The passage from Ephesians 5:1-10 reminds us to follow God's example and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and sacrificed himself for us. It challenges us to embody love in our actions and interactions with others, reflecting the love that Christ has shown us.

2️⃣ Living in the Light: The passage also highlights the importance of living as children of light, avoiding behaviors such as sexual immorality, impurity, greed, obscenity, and foolish talk. It calls us to align our lives with goodness, righteousness, and truth, seeking to please the Lord in all that we do.

3️⃣ Reflection and Prayer: As we meditate on these verses, we are encouraged to reflect on our own lives and consider areas where we may need to align more closely with God's righteousness.

NOTES FROM THE TONY EVANS STUDY BIBLE: (a great Bible to have in your personal resources)

23:1 David started out as a shepherd (see 1 Sam 16:11–12; 17:15, 34–37), so he describes his relationship to God in those terms.

23:2 God met David’s spiritual needs. The cares and struggles of this world can leave us exhausted. Such times are opportunities to realize our dependence on the Lord for spiritual refreshment.

23:3 God met David’s directional needs. Sheep are prone to wander and become lost; they need guidance...Through his Word and his Spirit, God leads us along the right paths in life—and reroutes us when we foolishly become wayward. Why? For his name’s sake—that is, so that others can hear us say, “My God has brought me here.”

23:4 God met David’s emotional needs. He provides comfort with his rod (used to beat wild animals that attack the sheep) and his staff (used to guide the sheep and pull them back from harm). When life takes you through the darkest valley, receive consolation in knowing that your divine Shepherd has power in one hand and grace in the other.

23:5 God met David’s physical needs. God fed him when he hungered and anointed him with oil when he needed healing. God’s provision never runs dry. That’s why David’s cup overflow[ed].

23:6 God met David’s eternal needs. Shepherds often have sheepdogs that keep the sheep from wandering. The divine Shepherd has two sheepdogs named goodness and faithful love. Sometimes they bark and nip at you when you wander from the fold. But they do so with the intent of driving you back into fellowship with your Shepherd, so that you may eternally dwell in the house of the Lord.

 Tony Evans, The Tony Evans Study Bible (Nashville, TN: Holman Bible, 2019), 613.

When Jesus resurrected from the dead, we see three different kind of responses. First, the women witness and declare, next we see Peter running to the tomb, and then we read about Thomas refusing to believe. This week mediate on these three responses and then consider your own tenderness to God's unexpected work in your life.

We start by reflecting on the story of the Garden of Eden and how sin entered the world through Adam and Eve's disobedience.

 Episode Synopsis

Welcome to another episode of The WellSoul Podcast! In this episode, we delve into the different perspectives of Jesus as revealed by those who witnessed his ministry: a demon, a prophet, a disciple, and the religious.

We begin by reflecting on what a demon said about Jesus in Mark 1:23-24. The possessed man in the synagogue cried out, acknowledging Jesus as the Holy One of God. This encounter reveals the power and authority that Jesus possessed, even over demonic forces.

Next, we examine the perspective of the religious rulers in Matthew 9:32-34. After witnessing Jesus casting out a demon from a man who was unable to speak, the crowds were amazed. However, the Pharisees attributed Jesus' actions to the ruler of demons, refusing to acknowledge his true identity.

Moving on, we explore what John the Baptist proclaimed about Jesus in John 1:29-34. John recognized Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. He bore witness to the Spirit descending upon Jesus and affirmed him as the Son of God.

Lastly, we consider Simon Peter's declaration in Matthew 16:13-16. When Jesus asked his disciples who people said he was, Peter boldly proclaimed him as the Christ, the Son of the living God. Peter's confession demonstrates the disciples' growing understanding of Jesus' true identity.

Throughout these passages, we observe that the demons, John the Baptist, and Peter all recognized and declared Jesus' true nature. However, the religious rulers remained closed off to the truth, attributing Jesus' actions to demonic influence.

As we reflect on these different perspectives, we are prompted to ask ourselves: Are we closed off to the truth of Jesus? Who do we say Jesus is? Our answer to this question has a profound impact on our lives and our relationship with God.

In closing, we offer a prayer of worship and gratitude to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, acknowledging God's goodness in revealing Jesus to us. We invite listeners to download a free resource on how to have a devotional time, available in the show notes.

If you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting The WellSoul Podcast by buying us a cup of coffee. Your financial support helps us continue this ministry of encouraging others to know God's Word, walk with God, and live with purpose.

We dedicate this episode to the memory of our late friend, Brian Vasquez, whose support made this podcast possible. May God bless you, and may you continue to seek and know Jesus for who he truly is.

As Jesus ministered to people, he demonstrated his identity through his actions. In this week's podcast episode, we consider John the Baptist's question to Jesus and how sometimes we can't see God at work because we are blinded by our own expectations of how he should work.

Is he at work in our lives right now and we are missing noticing?

Isaiah Verses Quoted in Matthew by Jesus in response to John the Baptist's question. Excerpt taken from ESV Study Bible:

Isaiah: the blind receive sight (cf. 9:27–31; Isa. 29:18; 35:5), the lame walk (Isa. 35:6; cf. Matt. 15:30–31), lepers are cured (Isa. 53:4; cf. Matt. 8:1–4), the deaf hear (Isa. 29:18–19; 35:5; cf. Mark 7:32–37), the dead are raised (Isa. 26:18–19; cf. Matt. 10:8; Luke 7:11–17; John 11:1–44), and the good news is preached to the poor (Isa. 61:1; cf. Matt. 5:3; Luke 14:13, 21). Jesus’ deeds gave sufficient proof of who he was and that the prophesied time of salvation had come (“the year of the Lord’s favor”; Isa. 61:1; cf. Isa. 62:1).
