The Isaiah 43 Podcast
In the Isaiah 43 podcast, we will explore how God formed us, redeemed us, and how He calls us today. Every week we will journey through scripture to understand all that God has done and what His call is for our lives. We will also tackle difficult questions and challenges against faith so that we may all be more confident when sharing the story of salvation with others, even those who stand against it.
Episodes
Christ alone is the entrance to rest and salvation.
In this episode, we examine Jesus’ profound words in John 10:7–10: “I AM the door of the sheep.”
What did this declaration mean to His original hearers?
Why is Christ alone the only way to the Father?
And how does this truth bring deep comfort, holy conviction, and lasting rest for the weary soul?
Join us as we explore the excl...
Fear not. He calls you by name. He has redeemed you. You are His.
As we begin studying John 10, we see Jesus describe the love of God using a shepherd and sheep metaphor. He calls us His sheep. He cares for His sheep. His sheep know His voice and do not listen to another. What hope can be found in this? What joy? And what does Christ mean when he calls us sheep compared to what the world means when it calls us she...
In this episode of The Isaiah 43 Podcast, we walk through the powerful conclusion of John 9, where Jesus seeks out the outcast once more—not just to restore physical sight, but to grant spiritual sight and saving faith.
We see the unfolding transformation of a man once blind, abandoned, and scorned, now standing in the presence of the Son of Man and worshiping. But more than a story of healing, this is a testimon...
The whole world is against you. So speak.
As we continue through John 9 and the testimony of the man who was born blind, we see that he is brought before the Pharisees once again. They demand to know what happened - not so they can praise God that they might control. What this man does next is an inspiration for us all. Without any education, this man speaks boldly under fire for Christ. And what does he say? He ...
Can your testimony sing of amazing grace?
This week, we continue in John 9. We pick up in the story of the man who was born blind. He was brought before the Pharisees and interrogated. They did not believe what happened because they blasphemously believe Christ was a sinner and that God could not do something outside of what they thought. In this, we see the man who was born blind's amazing testimony. Whether...
As we continue in the Hard Truths miniseries, we come to the question that we have all struggled with - why do bad things happen?
The little do we know that Jesus actually spoke to this directly in Luke 13. In this response to the people, Jesus directly changes the subject from why do bad things happen to good people to why have you not repented? He tells them a stern warning that if they do not repent, they will...
You are not forgotten. Your suffering and pain is not without purpose. The Lord of Glory sees you.
As we enter into John 9, we see the miraculous story of Jesus healing the blind man. When the disciples ask who sinned, Jesus redirects the focus and says it was all so the works of God may be displayed. Then when the man was healed, the crowds didn't believe. But what a story of grace in suffering this is!
Not before Abraham I was, but before Abraham, I AM.
This deep theological statement Christ makes as we close out John 8, opens our hearts to far more than what we realize. Today, as we close John 8 we see Jesus make the biggest claim to His divinity yet.
This week we will be reading the following Scripture:
- Isaiah 29:13
- John 8:54-59
- John 10:30
- Matthew 5:17,18
- John 17:5
- John 17:24
- Hosea 6:6
- 1 John 4:19-21
- John 14:1...
What is the death you can escape?
As we return to John 8, Jesus and the Pharisees clash. They cross the line and enter into the unforgivable sin by accusing Jesus of being demonly possesed. Despite this blasphemy, Jesus responds calmly and says that they dishonor him and that there is one who seeks His glory.
Who is this and what does this exchange teach us about life and death?
This week we will be read...
The podcast has been temporarily taken over!
A new host temporarily arrives to ask Clayton questions on election! This host is none other than his lovely wife, Mrs. Gabryella! She's here this week taking charge as we discuss the doctrine of election and what that means for us.
There are four primary questions that Gabryella and Clayton are often asked. These questions will guide our conversation:
- Why...
In the fourth episode of the Hard Truths miniseries, we confront one of the most sobering and misunderstood statements Jesus ever made: that there is a sin which will never be forgiven—blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. What does this mean?
Can a true believer commit it? Have you committed it?
Many wrestle with fear and uncertainty about this verse, but Scripture offers clarity, not confusion. Together, ...
Do you listen to Christ's Voice or the Devil's lies?
In this episode, we continue our exploration into John 8 and the piercing distinction Jesus draws between those who belong to God and those who follow the devil’s lies. Christ’s voice calls His sheep to truth, but those not born of God cannot bear His Word.
So the question remains: Are you hearing the voice of Christ—or the echo of the serpent?
This week we...
This week, we take a break from the Gospel of John for a special announcement. For this special announcement, we will look at God's design for marriage. What does God see when He looks upon a married couple? Why did God ordain marriage in a certain way? And how is a Godly marriage supposed to look?
So, what is this big announcement?
Well, I am proud to announce that Mrs. Gabryella and I have gotten m...
"If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
In this episode, we explore what it means to be a slave to sin, why we cannot save ourselves, and how Jesus, the Son of God, transforms slaves into sons and daughters through His blood. This week, we’re reminded that:
- Sin enslaves us far deeper than any political power ever could
- We are spiritually dead apart from Christ
- Redemption is only possible through Jesu...
How important is the Word of God in the life of a disciple?
Jesus continues talking to the Pharisees in John 8. He tells them the Word reveals the true followers and the truth. This truth will set them free. Because His followers abide in His word, like a vine to a branch, they are the disciples that love him. In light of this, our hearts ought to see the delight we have in the Scriptures. Nothing but Christ alone...
In the third episode of the Hard Truths miniseries, we examine one of the most controversial of Reformed Theology. This is about God's election, mercy and sovereignty. The Scriptures do not say that He loved Esau less, but that He hated Him. How can this be? Just as we explored the last time in the Hard Truths, many have claimed makes God unjust.
However, this teaching is clear within the Holy Scriptures and...
What is revealed to us when Christ is on the cross?
As we continue through Jesus' dialogue with the Pharisees in John chapter eight, we see that Jesus tells them that when they have lifted Him up, they will know that "I AM HE". He uses the same sacred name of God. In crucifying Him, they will see that He is God. We will know that it is the perfect, obedient Son who loved His Father and us so m...
Jesus gives a stern warning in our passage today that if we do not believe in Him, we will die in our sins. Yet, He does not leave us without hope in this passage in John 8. In the Temple treasury, He emphasizes the Father's love, the Son's obedience, and our dependence on His mercy. What a perfect reminder today, on Good Friday, of how essential it is that we believe in Christ alone.
This week, we will be re...
Christ is the judge who died for the guilty, and yet the world continues to reject Him. Continuing in the Gospel of John, we see that Jesus explains how he judges the world, and we might be surprised to learn that he is not like us. While humanity judges based on outward appearances, God judges the heart. And yet, God - the ultimate judge of all creation-looks upon rebels like us and loves them so much. Come and hear!
...
Jesus Christ declares himself to be the Light of the World, as we return to our study in the Gospel of John. He shows that He is the only hope in this dark age. But as He says, those who follow Him will walk in the light of life. Understanding this beautiful passage will help us to see what it means that Christ is the light of the world.
This week we will be reading the following Scripture (in order):
- John 8: 12-14
- E...
