BuddyWalk with Jesus

BuddyWalk with Jesus

Are you curious about how the timeless wisdom of the Bible applies to your daily life? Come join us as we embark on a journey to discover the true essence of having an active, personal relationship with God through Jesus, and delve deep into the intimate reality of God's present Kingdom through honest conversations. Our goal is to engage in authentic discussions about the relevance and richness of Scripture, as if we were chatting at a cozy coffee shop. Through BWWJ, we hope to emphasize the significance of taking a moment to slow down and reflect on the words of the Bible, to experience the closeness of God in a profound and meaningful way.

God’s call on your life isn’t floating out there in some distant future or reserved for “spiritual” moments—it’s happening right now. In this episode, we explore the beautiful, present-tense invitation of Jesus: to love God and love others in the middle of emails, errands, family chaos, and everyday routines.

We’ll talk about how the Holy Spirit actually empowers us to follow Jesus in real time—not by escaping the worl...

 We’ve turned the simple invitation of Jesus—“Come, follow me”—into a crowded checklist of programs, expectations, and spiritual pressure. In this episode, we explore how Christianity got so complicated, why so many believers are exhausted, and how to return to the simple, beautiful center: living our actual lives with God, for the sake of others, in the way of Jesus.

 Unity in the Spirit isn’t a nostalgic slogan or a distant goal—it’s Christianity in the present tense. In this episode, we explore Paul’s call to “keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” as a lived, right-now reality we guard rather than a trophy we earn. Drawing on Jesus’ prayer in John 17 and the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, we name practical ways unity becomes embodied in everyday church life: sl...

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture traces a living current of the Spirit—hovering over the waters (Gen 1:2), breathing life into dry bones (Ezek 37), resting on Jesus and promised to his friends (John 14–16), poured out at Pentecost (Acts 2), and forming Christlike people who bear fruit (Gal 5) and serve with Spirit-given gifts (1 Cor 12–14). In this episode we follow that flow to answer a foundational question: Wh...

Algorithms make great entertainers—but terrible shepherds. In this practical follow-up, we explore how to approach the Bible as an opportunity for encounter, not an obligation to check off, and how to set wise guardrails so social media, YouTube, and podcasts don’t disciple your emotions more than Jesus does. You’ll get a Jesus-first on-ramp for Scripture, a simple “digital rule of life,” and a gentle framework for sp...

 God is love is more than a comforting phrase, it is God’s very nature. In this Buddy Walk with Jesus episode, we unpack what Scripture means by love that starts with God, not our performance (1 John 4:7–18). We explore how His love drives out fear, secures our identity, and reshapes everyday life with Jesus. We walk through Jesus’ prayer for real communion with the Father (John 17:3) and the unbreakable assurance of ...

 In a culture that profits from our exhaustion and demands a hot take on everything, how do we stay with the real Jesus? This episode is a single-voice, honest walk through abiding and pace—moving from performance to participation, from hurry to the easy yoke. We name the pressure to react to every news cycle and every social wave, the chorus of second-hand “takes on Jesus,” and the stigma that calls burnout or confus...

 What does it really mean to declare “Jesus is Lord”? This episode takes you deep into the earliest Christian confession—exploring its roots in the Hebrew word Adonai and the Greek Kyrios, its radical contrast with “Caesar is Lord,” and its sweeping presence across Scripture. We’ll unpack how this title affirms both the divinity and sovereignty of Christ, and why it’s not just a matter of theology but of allegiance, d...

 When the week breaks our hearts, family fights can wait. In this raw conversation, we name our grief, face the fractures in the Church, and ask: how do we keep our eyes on Jesus and work together for good when our differences feel huge? We walk through a guided lament, a simple “unity triage” (essentials, convictions, preferences), and a Jesus-shaped conversation covenant. Then we get practical with five ways churche...

 In a world trained to expect Amazon-Prime spirituality and overnight results, Jesus invites us into a different pace: the Slow Kingdom. In this episode, we explore why transformation into Christ’s likeness rarely shows up in a weekend but grows like seeds and sourdough—quietly, steadily, over time (Mark 4:26–29; Matt. 13:31–32; John 15). We name the honest frustration of slow growth (hello, Romans 7), unpack why the ...

Life has a way of crowding in. The constant hum of responsibilities, the noise of anxiety, the wilderness of tragedy or stress—it all presses us into cramped spaces where it feels hard to breathe. But God’s invitation is not just survival. He delights to bring us into a spacious place.


In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we explore what it means to abide in the spacious life with God. Drawing from Psalm 18, J...

In this week’s episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we’re talking about the practice of attention. God is always active forming us, guiding us, revealing His presence in the world around us. But often we’re too distracted to notice. Together, we’ll explore how to become more aware of God’s action and activity in our daily lives, drawing from passages like Genesis 28, Philippians 1, and Psalm 19.
