Understanding Sometimes Comes Later

In John 13:7, Jesus speaks words that echo through every season of waiting and confusion: “What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” Those words remind us that God’s work is often hidden before it is revealed. In this episode, we explore how God’s purposes are frequently misunderstood in the moment by looking at the lives of Noah, Joseph, and Job. Noah built an ark under clear skies, trusting God without seeing the rain. Joseph endured betrayal, slavery, and prison without knowing a throne awaited him. Job suffered deeply, questioning God’s silence while remaining anchored in faith. None of them understood then—but each would understand later. This episode encourages believers who are struggling to make sense of God’s timing, His methods, or His silence. When understanding is delayed, faith must lead. Join us as we learn to trust the God who sees the whole picture, even when we only see the storm—or no storm at all.

Troubler or Truth Teller

Saved From What Sounds Right

Today, we are looking, again, at Proverbs 2:12-15. We see, in these verses, how easily we can fall away from the right path, into the evilness of false teachings.
