Season 4, Episode 2 – The Bigger Sinner

In this episode, Sean and Dan take a closer look at a turning point in the ministry of Jesus. After Peter’s powerful confession about who Jesus truly is, the Gospel tells us that “from that time on” Jesus began preparing His disciples for what was coming next — His suffering, death, and resurrection.

In this episode, Sean and Dan take a deeper look at what it really means to be sheep… and to be shepherds. Drawing from powerful passages like Psalm 23 and John 10, they unpack the role of a shepherd—one who protects, guides, feeds, corrects, and lays down his life for the flock.

Communion is more than a moment with bread and the cup — it’s an everyday posture of the heart.

Season 3, Episode 6 takes a look at God’s unmatched ability to forgive — and let’s be honest, He does it way better than we do. While we might hold onto slights like they’re museum artifacts, scripture shows us that God wipes the slate clean and invites us to do the same.
We talk about the challenge of “forgive and forget” (which is easier said than done), what it really means to think forward instead of backward, an...

What do angels actually do—and what don’t they do?
