Day 194 — John 7:32–36 — Where Is He Going?
Article | July 20th, 2026
Discover the power of trusting Jesus into mystery in this transformative study of John 7:32-36. When Jesus tells the Pharisees "You will search for me but not find me. And you cannot go where I am going," they're baffled—they're looking for geographic answers when Jesus is speaking about His ascension and the nature of faith itself. This episode explores what it means to follow Jesus when you don't understand where He's leading, and why faith requires trusting a Person more than needing certainty. Learn how Jesus invites us into deeper trust by speaking in riddles, and why seeking Jesus Himself is more important than seeking answers. Through contemplative meditation and honest reflection, identify where Jesus is leading you into mystery and find the courage to follow without needing to see the whole path. This episode will transform how you understand faith and trust.

Article | July 19th, 2026
Discover how your expectations shape what you're able to see in this transformative study of John 7:25-31.

Article | July 15th, 2026

Learn the difference between camping in past encounters with God and actively listening to His voice in the present moment. This episode challenges you to release your grip on mountaintop experiences and trust Jesus enough to follow Him down into the valley, the ordinary, and even the hard places—knowing that His glory remains constant even when we cannot see it.
