The Gospel of John (1:1-2)

Welcome to a brand new series on the Heart Check Podcast as we walk verse-by-verse through the Gospel of John together. In this first episode, we dive into John 1:1-2 and unpack one of the most powerful truths in all of Scripture — Jesus is God. What does it mean that “the Word already existed”? Why does John call Jesus the Logos? And why is the divinity of Christ absolutely essential to the Christian faith? In this episode, we break down the historical context behind John’s opening words, explore how both Jews and Greeks would have understood the term “Word,” and discover how Jesus has always existed as the eternal Son of God — fully God and fully man. This series is all about slowing down, studying Scripture deeply, and growing in our understanding of who Jesus truly is. My prayer is that this episode strengthens your faith, deepens your love for God’s Word, and gives you an even greater desire to know Christ. 📖 Scripture: John 1:1-2 🔥 Topics: Jesus’ Divinity, The Trinity, Logos, Bible Study, Gospel of John, Christian Theology If this episode encouraged you, make sure to subscribe, share it with a friend, and join us as we journey through the Gospel of John together.

More Like Jesus (Discipleship Will Cost You)

What does it really look like to welcome someone into your life? In Week 2 of the More Like Jesus series, we move beyond simply inviting people into relationships—and step into the deeper, more challenging call of discipleship: doing life together. This is where things get real. Discipleship isn’t a program or a strategy to get results—it’s a lifestyle of obedience. It’s choosing to love people with no strings attached, opening up your life, and walking with others through the highs and the lows. In this episode, we talk about: * The difference between inviting and truly welcoming * Why real discipleship requires vulnerability and consistency * How Jesus modeled doing life with people—not from a distance, but up close * The tension of loving people without expecting outcomes * And the three things you’ll need to stay in it: patience, perseverance, and persistence You’ll also be challenged to take a practical next step—sitting across the table from someone and intentionally building a deeper, Christ-centered relationship. This episode will stretch you, challenge your comfort, and remind you that discipleship isn’t about what you get out of it—it’s about becoming who Christ has called you to be. Don’t just listen… live it.
