Pentecost & The Bread of Life

What do Pentecost, the Bread of Life, and a divided crowd have in common? In this episode of Hard Truths, we start with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit before tackling the challenging scriptures of John 6 and 7. Discover why Jesus's hardest teachings caused even His own followers to walk away, and why we need the Holy Spirit more than ever to stand firm in biblical truth today.

From the Samaritan Well to the Bethesda Pool

In tonight's episode of Hard Truths Radio, we are diving deep into the powerful narratives of John chapters 4 and 5. We contrast two radical encounters: Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well, and Jesus healing the lame man at the pool of Bethesda. We’re breaking down the cultural barriers Jesus shattered to bring "living water" to an outcast, and how He directly confronted religious tradition by healing on the Sabbath. This isn't just Sunday school history—we're looking at the hard, uncompromising truths about true worship, the deity of Christ, and what happens when religious legalism gets in the way of spiritual truth. Grab your Bible, open up to John 4, and let’s get into it.

We explore how Jesus transforms the "old water" of religion into the "new wine" of the Gospel and what it actually looks like to be born of the Spirit. Whether you’re a long-time believer or just starting to open the Book, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how to read the Word.
