“Welcome back to the Abide podcast.

As we journey through the Gospel of John together, we’re following the thread of a love that changes everything. Today in Episode 3 of Abide, we’re in John 2 at a wedding in Cana—where joy is on the verge of running out… and Jesus quietly shows up.

“John tells us this is the first sign Jesus performs.
Not in a temple.
Not in front of crowds.
But in the middle of an ordinary celebration—where something has quietly run out.”

We have all found ourselves in a situation at one time or another when something was on the verge of falling apart… and our reputation—or dignity—felt like it was on the line.

Maybe you’ve had that moment where you feel the quiet panic of embarrassment… where something is slipping through your fingers and you don’t know how to stop it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re running low—on hope, strength, or joy—this episode is for you.

Come and see… a love that changes everything.

Enjoy!
