What we discuss in this episode:
-
Hypocrisy Will Be Exposed: Jesus warns against living a double life. Whether it’s self-righteous showboating or hidden struggles, everything done in the dark will come to light. But there’s also hope—hidden acts of faith and kindness will eventually bear fruit for God’s kingdom. 🌱
-
Don’t Worry About Material Things: Jesus reminds us to trust God to meet our needs. Whether it’s food for the table or Christmas gifts under the tree, we are called to seek first God’s kingdom and trust Him to provide.
- Consider the Lilies: How do we silence the worries of life and focus on what truly matters? Steve and Rowan discuss the art of “getting beneath the surface noise” and finding peace in obedience to Christ. 🌸
-
Division in the Kingdom: One of the harder teachings in Luke 12 is when Jesus says He has come to bring fire and division rather than peace. Why does following Jesus create tension and division? Rowan unpacks this as the “clash of kingdoms,” where living out Christ’s values naturally confronts the world’s priorities.
Takeaways for Today
- Trust God for Provision: Material wealth and outward appearances don’t define our worth. Instead, focus on seeking God’s kingdom and sharing His love with others.
- Live with Integrity: A life that’s consistent—both in private and in public—brings glory to God and builds His kingdom.
- Embrace the Creative Tension: Following Jesus will often put us at odds with the world. This isn’t something to seek out, but it is a natural result of living by His values.
Luke 12 challenges us to realign our priorities and trust in God’s provision, even when life feels uncertain.

In this episode of The Bible. Wait, what?, Rohan and Steve dive into Luke Chapter 11, unpacking some profound and practical teachings from Jesus. From learning how to pray to living as a light in a dark world, we reflect on the timeless lessons for our Christian walk.
What we discuss in this episode:
- Teach Us to Pray: Jesus responds to the disciples’ request with the model prayer. How can we avoid turning prayer into a mere formula and embrace contemplative, heartfelt communication with God? 🛐
- Persistent Prayer: The story of the friend at midnight reminds us of the importance of persistence in our prayer life. It’s not about nagging God but about building a relationship and trusting His timing.
- A Unified Kingdom: Jesus rebukes accusations against Him, using the principle of unity. A house divided cannot stand—whether it’s the enemy’s camp or the church. How can we pursue unity in the kingdom of God? ✨
- The Lamp of the Body: Jesus challenges us to let our light shine, not hidden under a basket. True light isn’t arrogance but the confidence of walking in Christ’s humility and truth.
Luke 11 calls us to a deeper, richer faith—a life of contemplation, persistence, unity, and shining God’s light to a watching world. Let’s take time to reflect on these truths and let them transform our lives.

In this episode of The Bible. Wait, what?, Pastor Rohan and Steve Danyi explore the dynamic and challenging teachings of Luke Chapter 10. As Jesus sends out 72 disciples, we dive into the practicalities of living a life of faith, generosity, and kingdom joy. Together, we discuss:
- The Mission of the 72: How stepping out in faith, trusting God, and embracing the unexpected opens doors for kingdom impact. 🌍
- Jesus’ Joy in the Spirit: Celebrating victories in others’ lives and learning to see with spiritual eyes.
- Kingdom Humility: The importance of keeping pride in check and focusing on the eternal value of our relationship with God. ✨
- The Parable of the Good Samaritan: A timeless call to radical generosity, loving others—even those society despises—and living out selfless compassion.
Luke 10 challenges us to go beyond the surface and embrace the upside-down values of God’s kingdom: serving, trusting, and loving without expectation. Whether you’re wrestling with faith or seeking to make a tangible difference in others’ lives, this episode will encourage and inspire you.
