The Isaiah 43 Podcast
The Isaiah 43 Podcast invites you to behold the God who says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine” (Isa. 43:1). Each week, we walk slowly through the Scriptures, combining careful exegesis with the rich truths of Reformed theology. These reflections on the Holy Scriptures aim to ground your faith, comfort your heart, and lift your eyes to Christ—our great Redeemer, Shepherd, and Friend. Whether you come weary, searching, or eager to grow, you’ll find a steady place to rest in the promises of God.
Episodes
In John 11:32–34, we walk slowly into the grief of these sisters, the compassion of Christ, and the quiet ways our relationships shape our faith—for better or for worse.
This week, we explore how “if only” thinking spreads, how godly company strengthens, and how Jesus meets us in the very places where doubt has taken root.
Come and see the Savior who is moved with compassion.
This week, we will be reading the fo...
In this week’s episode of The Isaiah 43 Podcast, we slow down in John 11:28–31—those quiet verses we often rush past in the shadow of Lazarus’s resurrection.
But here, we see: a Savior who draws near, calls by name, and invites weary sinners to rise and come to Him.
Martha whispers to Mary, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
And Mary rises quickly to meet Him.
In these verses, we see the shape of Christ’...
In this week’s Hard Truths episode, we look at Jesus’ words to the church in Ephesus—the believers who labored hard, held fast to doctrine, and yet slowly drifted away from their first love.
Christ’s message in Revelation 2:1–5 is not a rebuke meant to crush, but a call meant to restore. He invites His weary people to remember, repent, and return to the warmth of His love.
If you’ve felt your heart grow dim… if prayer ...
As we open John 11:24–27, we listen to Martha confess a true doctrine—but a distant one. She believes in the resurrection “on the last day,” yet struggles to see the Savior standing before her as the Resurrection and the Life right now. Jesus gently draws her faith from the theoretical into the personal, from the distant into the present, from “someday” into “even now.”
In this episode, we look at:
- Why Martha misund...
In John 11:20–23, Martha stands in the tension between heartbreak and hope. Her brother is gone, her heart is heavy—and yet she says to Jesus, “Even now I know.”
In this episode, we explore what faith looks like when prayers seem unanswered and the silence feels long. Through Martha’s confession, we find that Christ’s delays are never His absence.
He still speaks into our grief, He still rules over our time, and He s...
When everything around you feels trapped and hopeless—when the sea blocks your way forward and the armies of fear, loss, and despair close in behind—what does faith look like then?
In this week’s episode, we continue our journey through John 11, where Jesus comes to Bethany and finds that Lazarus has been dead for four days. For the grieving sisters, it was too late. Hope was gone. But as we’ll see, this is e...
On October 31st, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg door — and the world was never the same.
But the heart of the Reformation wasn’t rebellion; it was redemption. It wasn’t about breaking away from the Church, but bringing her home — back under the authority of God’s Word, back to the comfort of His grace, back to the sufficiency of Christ.
In this Reformation Day episode, we trace how God refor...
We don’t have forever.
In this episode of Hard Truths, Clayton takes us to Psalm 90 and confronts a sobering reality — life is fleeting, and tomorrow is not guaranteed. From Moses’ ancient words to modern statistics, we’re reminded that our days are short, but they are deeply meaningful in the light of eternity.
Join us as we explore what it means to “number our days,” to live wisely, and to use every moment f...
In this week’s episode, we open John 11:11–16 and hear Jesus speak of His friend Lazarus—not as one lost to the grave, but as one who sleeps awaiting His call.
What comfort this gives the believer!
Death is not the end of our story because Christ has conquered it.
When Jesus says, “Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him,” He is revealing far more than a momentary miracle—He’s showing us the heart of the gosp...
When fear grips the heart and the future feels uncertain, where do we turn?
In John 11:7–10, Jesus looks into the face of danger and walks toward it — not recklessly, but obediently, fully trusting the Father’s will. In this week’s episode, Running Out of Tomorrows, we slow down through this powerful moment in the Gospel of John to see how Christ’s courage shines light on our own fear and faith.
When Jesus sa...
The cliché says, “Good things come to those who wait.” The Bible presents us with a profound, divine truth: Christ’s waiting is an act of His everlasting love.
When Jesus heard his dear friend Lazarus was critically ill, he didn't rush to save him. He intentionally stayed two days longer. Was this indifference? Absolutely not. The popular saying subtly shifts our hope to a transactional system where we believe we ...
What do you do when God feels silent, when His timing seems late, and suffering feels like it’s winning?
In John 11:1–4, Jesus delays when His beloved friend Lazarus is sick—and it looks like He has failed. But the Lord shows us that His delays are never careless. They are purposeful, loving, and aimed at something greater: the glory of God and the strengthening of our faith.
In this episode, we’ll walk throug...
Recently, a specific theory circulated online claiming that the Rapture and Christ's return would occur on September 23rd. While the date has now passed, the impulse to try and predict the day remains a persistent struggle for the church.
In this eighth episode of Hard Truths, we cut through the frenzy of date-setting, astronomical signs, and conspiracy theories—including the comical claims about the UN and Donald...
In a world addicted to noise, spectacle, and endless headlines, Jesus shows us a different kind of victory.
In John 10:34-42, the confrontation with the Pharisees gives way to a surprising stillness—a quiet where true faith takes root and prevails. In this episode, The Quiet Triumph of Faith, we trace Christ’s steady sovereignty as He leaves the temple and gathers ordinary believers who trust Him without signs or...
In the wake of tragedy, how do Christians respond? In this episode, “After Charlie Kirk: Christ, Persecution, and Hope”, we turn to John 10:31–33 where Jesus Himself stood under the threat of stones, accused for declaring what was true: “I and the Father are one” in John 10:30.
As our nation reels from the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, we face hard questions about faith, suffering, and courage. What does...
This episode is dedicated to the passing of Charlie Kirk, who died for his faith and country. May the Lord bless and keep His family.
In John 10:30, Jesus declares, “I and the Father are one.” These words are not only a confession of Christ’s deity but a fountain of hope for weary saints. The God who rules the heavens has drawn near in His Son—our Shepherd, our Intercessor, our Redeemer. In this episode, we behold the...
In John 10:22–29, Jesus gives His sheep a promise the world cannot shake: “My sheep hear my voice… I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” In this episode, we rest in the breathtaking truth that before the foundation of the world, the Father chose a people (that includes you!) and the Son now holds them secure.
This is not a call to strive by our own effor...
We live in an age of cynicism toward leaders. Politicians are mocked, police are doubted, and authority itself is treated with suspicion.
Yet in Romans 13, Paul reminds us that governing authorities are not an accident of history but an appointment of God. They are “His servants for your good.”
In this episode, we’ll explore what it means to honor and pray for those who serve—whether rulers, law enforcement, ...
We all feel it right now. The bills are piling up, our families are stretched thin, and life feels like one long struggle to make ends meet. In moments like this, we long for comfort, stability, and a little peace. But what does it really mean to follow Jesus when He tells us that the path to life is the path of the cross?
In this episode, we open Luke 14 and wrestle with one of the hardest truths in all of Scripture: ...
“Insane… or I AM?”
In John 10:19-21 we see the world split right down the middle on Christ.
Was He insane? A liar? A demon? Or is He the Lord—the Good Shepherd who calls His sheep by name?
This episode presses the question home. Christ left no neutral ground. Faith is not blind optimism but Spirit-wrought sight. In today's episode, we'll explore why the miracle of opened eyes—both then and now—is proof of His ...
