Episode | July 31st, 2026 | Season 5 | 9 mins 44 secs
2 minute disciple, bible study, christian podcast, daily devotional, discipleship, encountering jesus, faith, growing in faith, john 9, seeing jesus, spiritual blindness, spiritual meditation, spiritual sight, transformation, worship
Discover who is truly blind in this convicting study of John 9:28-41. The formerly blind man is thrown out of the synagogue for telling the truth about Jesus—and then Jesus seeks him out. When Jesus asks "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" the man responds with beautiful honesty: "Who is he, sir? I want to believe in him." Meanwhile the Pharisees, certain they already see, are declared the most blind of all. This episode explores how certainty can be the enemy of sight, and why the willingness to say "I want to believe—show me" is the beginning of truly seeing. Through contemplative meditation and honest reflection, trace your own journey from blindness to sight to worship and discover where you may be blind without knowing it. This episode will challenge your certainty and open your eyes.
