Forgotten Evidence

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2014219/fan_mail/new] In John 6, Philip stands in front of a massive problem and immediately begins calculating what they do not have. But the deeper issue is not the size of the crowd, it is that Philip momentarily forgets everything he has already seen Jesus do. In this episode, we explore how quickly we forget God’s faithfulness, why Scripture constantly calls us to remember, and how Psalm 77 reminds us to intentionally rehearse the wonders of God in moments of fear and uncertainty. Because remembered faithfulness strengthens present trust.

Balm in Gilead

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2014219/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we unpack the meaning behind the song “There Is a Balm in Gilead” and the powerful Scripture it comes from in Jeremiah 8:22. Tracing the idea of “balm” through passages like Genesis and other places in Jeremiah, we discover it was a well-known source of healing yet it couldn’t fix the deeper spiritual problem God’s people faced. That tension points us to a greater truth: real healing isn’t found in earthly remedies, but in God Himself. This episode challenges us to move beyond just singing the words and actually seek the healing that’s been available all along.

Thus Far (200th Episode)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2014219/fan_mail/new] Episode 200 of The 44 is less about a number and more about remembering the faithfulness of God along the journey. In this episode, we explore milestone moments throughout scripture—from the memorial stones in Joshua 4 to Samuel’s Ebenezer in 1 Samuel 7—and why God constantly called His people to stop and remember what He had done. We talk about how easy it is to rush from one season to the next without celebrating growth, grace, and answered prayers along the way. Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is pause long enough to say, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”

22 Stanzas Later (Reflections on Psalm 119)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2014219/fan_mail/new] After slowly walking through each stanza of Psalm 119, one truth kept standing out: how much of what we are searching for spiritually is already right in front of us in God’s Word. In this episode, we talk about the simplicity, beauty, and sufficiency of Scripture and how we often complicate what God made clear. From Psalm 119 to Ecclesiastes 12, we explore the tension between endlessly searching for “more” and simply allowing the truth of God’s Word to shape our lives. The Word still gives light, peace, wisdom, freedom, and life…if we will open it and let it guide us.

When Worship Feels Boring

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2014219/fan_mail/new] Have you ever caught yourself thinking church feels…boring? This episode challenges that idea by asking whether the problem is really the worship or our hearts. Looking through Scripture, we see that God has always cared more about engaged, hungry hearts than outward activity, and even rejects empty worship. From Psalm 119 to Amos and Isaiah, we’re reminded that awe, delight, and response are what make worship come alive. Maybe the question isn’t “what needs to change out there?” but “what needs to change in me?”
