In this episode of Just a Moment, Dr. Seth Mena examines the contrast between Gaius—a man known for generosity, faithfulness, and making room for others—and Diotrephes, a leader driven by control and preeminence. Discover how welcoming, supporting, and believing in people allows us to become “fellowhelpers to the truth.”

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately noticed who wasn’t there?

In this episode of Just a Moment, Dr. Seth Mena explores the power of presence—in our families, marriages, friendships, churches, and everyday relationships. We’ll talk about the chairs we sometimes choose to leave empty, what happens when we’re physically present but emotionally absent, and the chairs that time eventually empties for us.

Don’t wait until someone’s chair is empty to recognize the value of the person sitting in it.

Because one day, every one of us will leave an empty chair behind.

🎙️ Just a Moment w/ Dr. Seth Mena
📖 I Samuel 20:18 | Hebrews 10:24–25

When Jesus delivered a demon-possessed man who was both blind and unable to speak, the miracle was undeniable. Yet instead of celebrating the man’s freedom, the Pharisees accused Jesus of operating through Beelzebub.

Why would they reject the evidence standing directly before them?

In this episode of Just a Moment with Dr. Seth Mena, we examine what exorcism looked like in the first century, how the authority of Jesus differed from the rituals and incantations of other exorcists, and what Jesus meant when He declared:

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.”
 —Matthew 12:30

The Pharisees thought they were evaluating Jesus—but their response to Jesus was evaluating them.

Once truth has been revealed, neutrality is no longer the absence of a decision. Neutrality becomes the decision.
