Send us Fan Mail A cancelled flight, a rerouted destination, and a long night of difficult decisions became an unexpected lesson about trust. Why is it so hard to surrender control, even when we know God is leading? In this episode, we explore what delayed flights, detours, and a 15-hour drive home reveal about our hearts and why Proverbs 3 reminds us that the safest place isn't behind the wheel, but in the hands of the One who knows the way.

Send us Fan Mail As Joseph sends his brothers back to Canaan, he leaves them with one simple instruction: “Do not quarrel on the way.” Why would those be his final words? In this episode, we slow down to examine one small detail in Genesis 45:24 and discover a powerful lesson about forgiveness, reconciliation, and refusing to let yesterday’s failures steal today’s grace. Like Joseph’s brothers, we’re all on a journey home and we’ve been entrusted with the greatest news the world has ever hear...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The 44, we explore Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic story The Great Stone Face and discover the powerful biblical truth hidden within its pages: you become what you behold. Through 2 Corinthians 3:18, Acts 4:13, and Hebrews 12:1–2, we see that lasting transformation doesn't come merely from trying harder, it comes from fixing our eyes on Jesus. The longer we behold His glory, the more our lives begin to reflect His character. Join us as we consider one simple ...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The 44, we eat on one of the easiest details in Scripture to overlook—John outrunning Peter to the empty tomb in John 20:3-8. As we slow down and pay attention to the text, we discover powerful lessons about pursuing Jesus, avoiding comparison with other believers, and remembering that the greatest victory was never who arrived first, but that the tomb was empty. Whether your spiritual journey feels like a sprint or a slow, steady walk, this episode is a re...

Send us Fan Mail In John 18:1–2, Jesus crosses the Kidron Valley on His way to Gethsemane, a detail that is far more significant than it first appears. In this episode, we explore how the Kidron became a place associated with the removal of idols and uncleanness throughout the Old Testament, making Jesus’ crossing a powerful picture of the One who would carry away the sin of the world. We also consider the simple but profound statement that Jesus “had often met there with His disciples,” chal...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The 44, we explore the sobering story of Demas. A man who once labored alongside Paul but ultimately walked away because he "loved this present world" (2 Timothy 4:10). Through the few verses that mention his name, we uncover a powerful warning about the slow drift of worldliness and the battle for our affections. What happens when something other than Christ captures our hearts?

Send us Fan Mail Last week we asked, "Whose rainbow is it?" This week we go a step further. In a culture filled with controversy, criticism, and pressure to conform, what can the rainbow teach us about God's patience, mercy, and truth? Join us as we explore Genesis 9, 2 Peter 3:9, recent headlines from the baseball world, and why there are times when God's people must lovingly but courageously say, "No." The rainbow is more than a symbol. It is a reminder that God is still giving sinners time...

Send us Fan Mail It is June, and with it come conversations about identity, truth, symbols, and what they mean. In this episode of The 44, we explore a simple but important question: Whose rainbow is it? From Genesis 9 to a modern-day Major League Baseball pitcher pointing people back to God’s covenant, we’ll discuss why Christians must not surrender the story behind one of Scripture’s most powerful symbols. The rainbow was God’s before it was anything else and perhaps it’s time we started te...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The 44, a simple phrase written on the side of a cup at the Ocala Farmers Market becomes a powerful reminder of the gospel: Broken crayons still color. Through the stories of David, Peter, Paul, and others, we explore how God has always used imperfect, flawed, and broken people to accomplish His purposes. From David's prayer of repentance in Psalm 51 to Paul's testimony of mercy and Jeremiah's visit to the potter's house, Scripture reminds us that failure d...

Send us Fan Mail George Washington frequently spoke of the providence of God in moments of unlikely victory, while Abraham Lincoln reflected on providence in the midst of suffering and national tragedy. In this episode, we explore what God’s providence really means, why it is often easier to see in hindsight than in the moment, and how biblical figures like Joseph, Esther and Paul help us learn to trust God’s purposes even when we cannot see His plan. Sometimes faith is not understanding God’...
