About this episode
In this deeply personal message, we’re invited to reflect on the state of our hearts—how troubled or peaceful we feel—and to consider Jesus’ words: “Don’t let your hearts be troubled.” Speaking from the edge of the Pacific Ocean, John draws a powerful contrast between the noise and stress of daily life and the inner peace that Jesus offers—not through distraction or perfect circumstances, but through His presence. Through stories of Thomas’ doubt, Jesus’ promise of home with the Father, and our desire for certainty, we’re reminded that we aren’t given a map—we’re given a guide. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and we already know enough to follow Him today. So when trouble rises, we pause, listen, and choose to do the next right thing with Him.
