Episode Description
As we head into Palm Sunday weekend, this short devotional from The Jesus Effect reflects on the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem as King — not in power and force, but in humility and love.
The crowds shouted “Hosanna,” celebrating who they thought He would be… but Jesus came to be so much more.
In this episode, we’re reminded that Jesus isn’t just someone to celebrate in moments of joy — He is the Ki...
This week on The Jesus Effect, our Who Am I in the Bible? series continues with a powerful story of restoration — not of walls, but of hearts.
After Jerusalem had been rebuilt, something deeper was still missing. The people had returned home, but their spiritual foundation needed renewal. Into that moment stepped a leader devoted not to power, position, or influence… but to the Word of God.
Through a life marked by st...
Christ doesn’t just change your beliefs — He changes your life.
In Episode 5 of the Colossians Mini-Series, we explore one of the most powerful truths in Scripture:
“Christ who is your life.” (Colossians 3:4)

In this episode of The Jesus Effect, we look at Colossians 3:1–17 and discov...
This week on The Jesus Effect, we continue our Who Am I in the Bible? series with a story of courage, prayer, and restoration.
Our mystery person received heartbreaking news about a city that once represented strength and identity for God’s people. Its walls were broken. Its gates were burned. What followed was not immediate action—but prayer, mourning, and a burden placed on the heart.
From that burden came a courage...
In a world that feels like it’s constantly shifting, where can we find a foundation that truly holds?
In Colossians 2:6–15, the apostle Paul reminds believers that the Christian life begins and continues in Christ. When our lives are rooted in Him, built up in Him, and established in the faith, we can stand firm even when the world around us feels unstable. Scripture: Colossians 2:6–15

But instead of blending in with the culture around him, he makes a de...

This week on The Jesus Effect, we continue our “Who Am I in the Bible?” series with a story that begins in obscurity.
Before there was influence…
before there was authority…
before there was a crown…
There was a field.
There was an anointing that no one expected.
A long season of waiting.
A valley moment of courage.
Hidden songs of worship.
A painful failure.
And a humble return.
This episode explores the tension bet...
Who leads the Church?
And who truly holds first place in your life?
In Colossians 1:18–23, the Apostle Paul reveals that Jesus is not only Lord of creation — He is the Head of the Church, preeminent in everything, and the only One who can reconcile us to God.
In this episode of The Jesus Effect, Steve McLane walks verse-by-verse through this powerful passage and explores:
• What it means for Jesus to be the Head of the ...
Have you ever sensed God prompting you… but weren’t sure if it was really Him?

A child prayed for before he was born.
A young servant growing up in sacred spaces.
A quiet night.
A voice calling his name.
This mystery figure remi...
Jesus- The One Who Holds It All Together.
Who is Jesus… really?
In Colossians 1:1–17, the Apostle Paul gives one of the most powerful descriptions of Christ in all of Scripture. Jesus is not merely a teacher, a comforter, or a spiritual example. He is the image of the invisible God. The Creator of all things. The Sustainer of the universe.
And in Him… all things hold together.
In this episode of The Jesus Effect, Steve ...
Anxiety has a way of filling every quiet space in our lives.
We worry about what we have.
We worry about what we don’t have.
We replay the past and try to control the future.
But what if anxiety isn’t just stress?
What if it’s a signal — revealing what has taken the center of our lives?
In this weekend episode of The Jesus Effect, we reflect on Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:33–34 and discover a simple, powerful reset:
When Chr...
Have you ever felt called to step into something far bigger than you feel prepared for?
A responsibility you didn’t ask for…
a role that feels overwhelming…
a season where others are looking to you, and you quietly wonder, “God… why me?”
In this episode of Who Am I in the Bible?, we explore the story of a man who spent years in the shadow of greatness — watching, learning, and waiting — until the day came when...
What does Jesus mean for your future — especially when it feels uncertain?
In the final episode of this series, we pause to ask a question that quietly shapes every season of life. We’ve explored who Jesus is, what He means in hardship, and how He meets us in fear. Now we look ahead — not with anxiety, but with hope.
This episode reminds us that the future isn’t found in timelines, guarantees, or perfect plans. It’s f...
Jesus in Your Weekend - Love that Remains
Valentine’s Day means different things to different people.
For some, it’s flowers and celebration.
For others, it carries memories, longing, or even quiet grief.
In this special Jesus in Your Weekend episode of The Jesus Effect, we pause to remember that no matter what this day brings, there is a love that does not fade — the love of Jesus.
Rooted in Romans 8:38–39, this short d...
What happens when God calls you out of the ordinary and into something greater?
In this week’s episode of Who Am I in the Bible?, we explore the story of someone who wasn’t looking for a spotlight — someone faithfully living an ordinary life when God stepped in with an unexpected invitation.
This mystery person didn’t rush the calling, didn’t cling to a backup plan, and didn’t seek recognition. Instead, they chose obe...
Fear is something we all face — sometimes suddenly, sometimes quietly, and sometimes every day.
In this episode of The Jesus Effect, we ask an honest and deeply personal question:
Jesus — What Does He Mean When You’re Afraid?
Fear can come from the unknown, the future, health concerns, family worries, or moments when life feels uncertain. But fear was never meant to lead our lives.
In this episode, we explore how Jesus ...
This weekend, before the plans fill up and the pace picks up, pause for a moment and ask a deeper question:
Jesus… are You going with me?
In this Jesus in Your Weekend episode of The Jesus Effect, Steve reflects on one of the boldest prayers in Scripture — Moses’ request in Exodus 33:15

He asked for presen...
What happens when faith feels exhausted?

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
