In this contemplative devotional episode, Nick Oyler reflects on John 5:19–21 in the New Living Translation (NLT). Jesus explains that He does nothing by Himself, but only what He sees the Father doing. The Father loves the Son, shows Him His works, and together they give life.
Listeners are invited to consider how Jesus’ dependence on the Father shapes our own discipleship. A simple practice—“Watch First, Then Act”—helps you slow down and look for where God is already at work before you respond.
