Stagione 2

I Will, Sir

What if the most dangerous disobedience is the kind that still sounds respectful? In Matthew 21, Jesus tells a parable about two sons: one openly rebellious, the other outwardly obedient. He exposes the difference between religious language and a surrendered heart. This week on Pursuing Jesus, Sean and Ben discuss cultural Christianity, repentance, and the freedom of bringing our real selves to the real gospel.

Engage In Business Until I Return

Jesus does not give His servants a scorecard. He gives them a charge: “Engage in business until I come.” In this episode of Pursuing Jesus, Sean and Ben reflect on spiritual growth in public, the danger of cultural Christianity, and what it means to faithfully steward the ordinary days of our lives while we wait for the return of the King.

Not So Among You

The kingdoms of this world climb, grasp, and take their seats above others. But Jesus gathers His disciples close and says, “Not so among you.” In this episode of Pursuing Jesus, Sean and Ben reflect on the strange glory of Christ’s kingdom—a kingdom shaped by the towel, the cup, and the cross—where greatness stoops low, leadership becomes service, and the King gives His life as a ransom for many.

I Hold My Own Hand

What if one of the greatest obstacles to following Jesus is believing we've outgrown our need for Him? This week on Pursuing Jesus, Sean and Ben reflect on a simple phrase, I hold my own hand," and discover how childlike dependence, humble repentance, and receiving God's grace all point to the same surprising truth: the closer we draw to Christ, the more we realize we've needed Him all along.

When Mammon Fails

What happens when the things we trust most can't deliver what they promise? In this episode of Pursuing Jesus, Sean and Ben unpack one of Jesus' most challenging parables and explore faithfulness, misplaced trust, and the deeper longing that every earthly pursuit ultimately leaves unsatisfied.

Counting the Cost

What is Jesus worth to you? This episode of Pursuing Jesus explores the cost of discipleship, the challenge of surrender, and why following Christ means placing Him above every other relationship, ambition, and desire.

The One Who You Love is Sick

Jesus delayed. Lazarus died. Mary and Martha grieved. So why does one of the most painful stories in Scripture become one of the clearest pictures of hope? In this episode of Pursuing Jesus, Sean and Ben explore John 11, the death and resurrection of Lazarus, the difference between Martha and Mary's grief, and what it means to trust Jesus when His timing doesn't make sense.

Stagione 1

Listening, Lists, & Liberty

What does it mean to truly recognize the voice of God? This episode of Pursuing Jesus explores spiritual discernment, sacrifice, legalism, freedom, and the difference between following rules and actually following Jesus.

Dig Around the Roots

Jesus warns against self-righteousness, calls people to repentance, and tells a parable about a fig tree being given one more season to bear fruit. This episode of Pursuing Jesus explores suffering, discipleship, and the difficult but beautiful ways God cultivates deeper roots and lasting spiritual growth in us.

Clean Cups and Divided Houses

What does it mean to be clean on the inside? This episode of Pursuing Jesus explores repentance, sanctification, the “unpardonable sin,” and why Scripture should function as a mirror instead of a window.
