“Lord, who are we drawing today?” It’s the question Jessica Claire Bond asked after her artwork went viral—and became the heartbeat behind her illustrated Bible study, A King Washes Feet. What started as a single image quickly grew into a powerful visual series capturing the tension we feel when a King stoops low to wash everyone’s feet.

In A King Washes Feet, Jessica Claire Bond invites us into the radical humility of Jesus—a humility that challenges our comfort and confronts our assumptions. It’s one thing to serve those we love or agree with. But what does it look like to follow Christ’s example when it means loving our enemies, extending grace to those we resist, or embracing people we don’t understand?

Through her thought-provoking illustrations, A King Washes Feet brings the Gospel to life in unexpected ways—pairing individuals like police officers and inmates, victims and offenders, political opposites, and unlikely neighbors. The message is both unsettling and deeply beautiful: Jesus doesn’t withhold His love based on our categories.

In our conversation, we explore the deeper meaning behind A King Washes Feet and how it calls us into a transformed way of living:

• The viral moment that launched the Footwashing Series
• Why we resist God's love for certain people
• The cost—and freedom—of living out the radical gospel
• Letting go of the expectations we place on Jesus
• The tension between familiarity and true surrender
• Who might be missing from our churches—and why

When we picture everyone sitting at the same table—enemies, strangers, and those who have hurt us—it can feel uncomfortable, even impossible. But A King Washes Feet reminds us of this truth, as Jessica puts it: "It's not about who's on the seat, but who's washing the feet."

"The world is hungry for footwashing.”

"Our God knows a different kind of love. Our Jesus has firsthand experience extending love and giving grace to people who betray him in less than 12 hours."

“It's not about who's on the seat, but about Who's washing the feet."

John 13:1-17 – Jesus washes the disciples' feet and commands them to do likewise.

One in four women will have an abortion at some point in their lifetime. Yet so many silently wonder if healing after abortion is truly possible. If you’ve ever carried the weight of shame, regret, or unanswered questions, this conversation offers hope.

April is Abortion Recovery Awareness Month, and in this powerful episode, we answer with a resounding yes—healing is possible. Tonya Bailey Jones, retired Naval Officer and author of Pearls in the Pews, shares her deeply personal journey through multiple abortions, hidden shame, and her eventual path to freedom through God’s mercy and grace.

Together, we explore what it means to step out of hiding, get honest with God, and begin the process of true healing. Tonya offers a compassionate and honest look at the realities many women face, along with the grace that meets them there.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why healing after abortion often begins with honesty
• The impact of past wounds on present choices and identity
• Tonya's journey of "unmasking" and finding freedom
• Common misconceptions about grace in abortion conversations
• The importance of grieving in post-abortion healing
• Normalizing grace in the church for women seeking restoration

If you've ever stood at the corner of a hard decision—or carried one quietly ever since—you are not alone. There is grace for your story and hope for your healing.

"Your soul needs the grace of God, but you can't receive it while you keep condemning yourself.”

"The heart of an abortion-wounded woman is grieving and they often don't know it."

“If you can love the abortion-wounded woman to life, you'll love her to keeping the life of her baby."
