In this episode of Jesus Centric Life, Pastor Josh and Donna wrestle with the honest, aching question many believers carry but rarely say out loud: Will God show up for me? When it feels like God is moving powerfully in everyone else’s story but yours, doubt, disappointment, and comparison can creep in. Together, they explore the truth of who God is, what His presence really looks like, and how faith holds steady—even when the evidence feels thin.

Jesus rarely gave straight answers. Instead, He asked questions—questions that challenged assumptions, exposed hearts, and invited transformation. In this episode, we explore how Jesus used questions to shape people more deeply than explanations ever could, and what that means for how we grow in faith, disciple others, and lead with wisdom today.

Jesus healed many—but not all. This episode wrestles honestly with the uncomfortable reality that some experienced healing while others walked away still suffering. We’ll explore what Scripture reveals about God’s purposes, how to hold faith and disappointment together, and how to trust Jesus when healing doesn’t come the way we hoped or prayed for.

Not every season of faith feels fresh or exciting—and that’s okay. In this episode, we talk about the gift of routine and how God often works powerfully through consistency rather than intensity. We’ll explore why steady faith matters, how ordinary rhythms shape discipleship over time, and why faith that feels familiar may actually be forming deeper trust and lasting transformation.

Many people follow Jesus expecting clarity, blessing, ease, or visible outcomes—and feel shaken when He delivers something different. In this episode, we explore moments in Scripture where Jesus didn’t meet expectations and why those moments weren’t failures of faith, but invitations into deeper trust. Through Biblical accounts of confused disciples and unmet hopes, we’ll consider how disappointment with Jesus can actually become a turning point that deepens faith rather than destroys it.

In this episode of Jesus Centric Life, we welcome special guest Emma Turnbull to help us explore “the benches” in our lives — those moments of joy, pain, waiting, or growth that shape who we are. It’s about learning to sit with others in their hard places instead of trying to fix or rush them. From a child’s fear to a friend’s disappointment, love often looks like presence, not solutions. Discover how Jesus models this compassionate presence and how we can trust God’s work on every bench we find ourselves on.

In this episode of Jesus Centric Life, Pastor Josh and Donna wrestle with the question many are asking today: Does the church still matter? At its heart, the church isn’t a building or a program—it’s people in relationship with one another and with God. We’ll talk about why relationships are central to the life of the church and how the proclamation of the Gospel keeps the church alive and relevant in every generation.

Have you ever asked yourself the question: Am I leading, or just doing? Many in the church don’t see themselves as leaders, but God calls each of us to influence others right where we are. We’ll talk about the danger of staying passive, what it means to run to Jesus for guidance, and how leadership isn’t about a title—it’s about faithfully pointing people to Him in everyday life.
