📖 Scripture: John 1:6–13

In this episode of Heart Check Podcast, Pastor Lows continues our journey through the Gospel of John as we dive into John 1:6–13.

Who was John the Baptist, and why was his testimony so important? What does it mean that Jesus is the true Light who gives light to everyone? And are all people automatically considered children of God?

Together, we walk verse by verse through this powerful passage, exploring John the Baptist’s calling to point people to Christ, the life-changing power of personal testimony, God’s common grace, humanity’s rejection of Jesus, and the incredible truth that those who believe and receive Christ are given the right to become children of God.

This episode is a reminder that you do not need to be a Bible scholar to tell others about Jesus—your testimony matters. If Christ has changed your life, you have a story worth sharing.

In this episode:
• John the Baptist’s mission to point people to Jesus
• Why your testimony has power
• Understanding God’s “common grace”
• Jesus as the true Light of the world
• What it really means to become a child of God
• Spiritual rebirth through faith in Christ

Whether you’re new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to boldly be a witness for Christ.

Be encouraged, share this episode with someone, and let’s continue growing together through God’s Word.

In this episode of Heart Check Podcast, Pastor Los continues walking verse-by-verse through the Gospel of John as we dive into John 1:3–5.

Together, we unpack the powerful truth that everything was created through Jesus and for Jesus — and that the same Jesus who gives physical life is the only one who can give eternal life.

We talk about:

• Jesus as Creator and God in the flesh

• The difference between physical life and spiritual life

• Why true purpose and fulfillment can only be found in Christ

• Jesus as the Light that darkness can never overcome

• How believers are called to carry His light into a dark world

This episode is a reminder that we were created on purpose, by Jesus, and for Jesus. No darkness, no fear, no sin, and no attack from the enemy can extinguish the light of Christ that lives inside those who put their faith in Him.

If you’ve been searching for hope, peace, purpose, or eternal life — this conversation points you back to the One who gives life abundantly.

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.

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.

What does it actually mean to be a disciple of Jesus… and not just that—but to become a disciple-maker?

In this kickoff episode of our brand new series More Like Jesus, we’re getting real and practical about what biblical discipleship looks like in everyday life. This isn’t just about knowing more about Jesus—it’s about living like Him.

We break down the true meaning of discipleship and evangelism, why they go hand-in-hand, and how following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. It’s about real, authentic, Christ-centered relationships—doing life together, not just showing up on Sundays.

You’ll be challenged to move from a comfortable, passive faith to a bold, active one—stepping into the opportunities God has already placed in front of you.

This week’s focus: Invite.
Because discipleship doesn’t start with a program… it starts with an invitation.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What discipleship really means (and what it doesn’t)
• Why evangelism is the starting point of discipleship
• How to recognize “open door” moments in your everyday life
• Why you already have influence—and how to use it for the Kingdom
• A simple, practical 3-step challenge to start living this out this week

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to share your faith, disciple others, or even take your next step with Jesus—this episode is for you.

Don’t just listen to this series… live it.

If you’ve been seeing all the debates online about “once saved, always saved” or wondering, “Can I actually lose my salvation?” — this episode is for you.

There’s a lot of confusion, fear, and false teaching floating around right now that’s causing people to question their faith, their relationship with Jesus, and whether they’re truly saved.

But today, we’re going straight to God’s Word to bring clarity and truth.

In this episode, Pastor Los breaks down one of the most debated passages — Hebrews 6 — and unpacks what it actually means in context. We talk about the difference between struggling with sin vs. fully rejecting Christ, what true repentance is, and why salvation is rooted in Jesus’ finished work… not our performance.

You’ll also hear powerful truth from Scripture about:
– Why salvation is a gift of grace, not something you earn
– What it really means to “fall away”
– The difference between losing rewards in heaven vs. losing salvation
– Why no one can snatch you out of God’s hand
– How false theology can shake your faith if you’re not grounded in the Word

This episode is here to remind you:
- Your salvation is not dependent on your works — it’s secured by Jesus’s completed work on the cross.
- God is powerful enough to keep what belongs to Him.
- And there is no salvation outside of Christ alone.

If you’ve been feeling anxious, confused, or overwhelmed about your faith… this conversation will bring you back to truth, confidence, and peace in who Jesus is and what He’s already done.

Let’s get in the Word so we can get equipped to stand firm on Christ as our foundation.

Let’s have a Heart Check ❤️

What is the Gospel—really?

Not the complicated churchy answer. Not the vague “Good News” response. But the clear, biblical truth that changes everything.

In this episode of Heart Check, Pastor Los breaks down the most important message you will ever hear—the Gospel of Jesus Christ—in a simple, practical way so you can not only understand it, but confidently share it with others.

Because the Gospel isn’t good advice… it’s Good News that saves our souls.

Pastor Los walks you through a powerful, easy-to-remember framework:God. Sin. Jesus. Response.

You’ll learn:

• ​ Why every single one of us needs a Savior.
• ​ How sin separates us from a holy God.
• ​ Why Jesus being the Messiah (the Christ) changes everything.
• ​ What Jesus actually accomplished through His life, death, and resurrection.
• ​ Why salvation is by grace through faith alone—not by works.
• ​ And how you are called to respond: repent, confess, believe, and follow.

This episode isn’t just about understanding the Gospel—it’s about being transformed by it.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to explain your faith…If you’ve ever wondered what Jesus really came to do…Or if you’ve never truly responded to the Gospel…

This episode is for you.

The Gospel is simple but powerful:God is holy. We are sinful. Jesus saves. We respond.
