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.

What is Jesus really teaching in Matthew 6:5–13? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus does not just teach us how to pray. He teaches us who we are praying to, why we pray, and what prayer becomes when it is no longer about performance.
In this video, we explore Matthew 6:5–13 in context by looking at prayer in secret, the Father who sees, empty repetition, the Lord’s Prayer, God’s name, God&rsquo...
What is Jesus teaching in Matthew 6:1–4? In this video, we explore the warning against practicing righteousness to be seen by others, and the deeper invitation into hidden mercy, sincerity, generosity, and life before the Father who sees in secret. This is a deeper look at how giving can become performance, and how Jesus calls his followers back into a quieter, freer, more truthful kind of righteousness....

What does Jesus really mean when he says to turn the other cheek? In Matthew 5:38–42, Jesus is not blessing abuse or telling the vulnerable to stay quiet. He is exposing the cycle of retaliation and calling his people into a deeper kind of freedom.
In this video, we explore Matthew 5:38–42 in context by looking at “an eye for an eye,” turning the other cheek, giving your cloak also, going the ...
What does Jesus really mean when he says, “Let your yes be yes and your no be no”? In Matthew 5:33–37, Jesus is doing more than giving advice about honesty. He is inviting his people into integrity.
In this video, we explore Matthew 5:33–37 in context by looking at oaths, vows, Old Testament background, truthfulness, integrity, the presence of God, and the way Jesus exposes speech that sounds ...
This episode steps into one of the most difficult and often misunderstood teachings of Jesus—His words on divorce and remarriage in Matthew 5:31–32.
For many people, this passage hasn’t felt like good news. It’s been a source of confusion, shame, or even deep personal pain. Instead of rushing past that, this conversation slows down and makes space for the real human weight behind these words. ...
In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we continue through the Sermon on the Mount with Matthew 5:27–30. Jesus takes the command against adultery and leads us deeper into the hidden life of the heart, showing that faithfulness is not only about outward behavior, but about the way we see, desire, and honor one another. Together, we reflect on lust, dignity, integrity, and the serious but merciful call o...
In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we continue through the Sermon on the Mount with Matthew 5:21–26, where Jesus takes the command against murder and leads us deeper into the heart. Together, we reflect on anger, insult, contempt, and the quiet ways brokenness can take root in our relationships. This passage is both searching and deeply practical, inviting us to take reconciliation seriously and to...
In this Easter special of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down enough to sit inside the mystery of Holy Week—not just as a story we remember, but as a living reality we are invited to enter. This episode reflects on the road to Jerusalem, the table, the garden, the cross, the silence of Saturday, and the dawn of resurrection, asking what it means for “He is risen” to become more than a familiar...
In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we move deeper into the Sermon on the Mount with Matthew 5:17–20. Jesus says he has not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fulfill them—and those words open up so much more than a conversation about rules. Together, we explore what fulfillment means, how Jesus carries the story of God to its true center, and why righteousness in the kingdom goes...
In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we step into Matthew 5:13–16, where Jesus tells His disciples, “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” This isn’t a call to be loud, flashy, or performative—it’s an invitation to a steady, embodied witness that preserves what is good, brings flavor to what is bland, and shines hope into what is dark. We...

In Matthew 5:11–12, Jesus speaks directly to His disciples about what it can feel like to follow Him in a world that doesn’t always welcome Him—insults, pressure, and even false accusations. In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down and listen with maturity and care: what does “blessed” mean when life hurts, why does Jesus anchor us in “because of Me,” and ...
In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down over Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus isn’t promoting paranoia, a victim mindset, or picking fights—He’s preparing apprentices for what happens when Kingdom life collides with the values of the world. We explore what “persecuted&...
we slow down over Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Jesus isn’t blessing peace-lovers or peace-keepers—He’s blessing peace-makers: people who do the costly work of moving relationships, communities, and even enemies toward God’s shalom (wholeness, justice, and restored right-order). We explore the original language, why this wa...
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” What does “pure” (katharos) really mean—and why does Jesus locate purity in the heart (kardia) rather than just external behavior? We explore the Old Testament background (clean hands/pure heart), the difference between purity and perfectionism, and how purity is best understood as single-heartedness—an undivided inner life ...
In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down over Matthew 5:7: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” What does Jesus mean by mercy—and how is it different from being permissive, naïve, or a doormat? We explore the Bible’s language of mercy, the Old Testament heartbeat of God’s steadfast love, and why Jesus places mercy right in the middle of the Beatit...
In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down over Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” Jesus isn’t just calling us to do the right thing—He’s inviting us into a new kind of desire. We unpack the language of hunger and thirst in the Greek, explore what “righteousness” (dikaiosynē) means in Matthe...
In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down over Matthew 5:5: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” In a tribalized world shaped by algorithms, outrage, and echo chambers, Jesus calls His disciples into a strength that doesn’t need to dominate. We unpack what “meek” (praeis) really means—gentleness with backbone, power under control—and wh...
