In this episode, we walk through John 10:22–42 — a moment filled with pressure, fear, and hard questions, where Jesus is surrounded and asked to say plainly who He is.

Instead of giving the answer they want, Jesus exposes something deeper about belief, control, and trust.

Reflection Questions:

1. Where might fear be making it harder for you to really listen right now?

2. Where are you living like everything depends on you?

3. When your understanding starts getting challenged, do you shut down, defend yourself, or stay open?

4. Where have you already seen life or change, even if you don’t have everything figured out?

5. Where might clarity be growing after you’ve stepped away from pressure or noise?

Why does it feel like our minds never get a break anymore?

***This episode discusses how fear-based stories and constant alerts can heighten anxiety. It is not intended as a safety guide, but as a conversation about how worry affects our minds.

In this Between the Verses episode, we talk about why worry and anxiety feel so constant in modern life. From nonstop social media and news cycles to information overload and comparison, we talk about how overstimulation keeps our nervous systems on edge.We discuss how the amygdala plays a role in anxiety, why worry often comes from love and a desire for safety, and why feeling anxious doesn’t mean your faith is weak. This episode gently reframes worry, helping listeners understand what’s happening in their minds and how peace begins with knowing what we were never meant to carry.

In John 10:1–21, Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd — not one who pressures or abandons, but one who knows His people by name and lays down His life for them.

In this episode, we read through this passage slowly and reflect on what it means to recognize the voice of Jesus amid the noise of everyday life. This conversation isn’t about getting faith “right,” but about learning familiarity, trust, and rest with a Shepherd who stays.

If faith has ever felt loud, confusing, or exhausting, this passage offers a gentler way forward.

Reflection Questions:

1. Where in your life are you putting pressure on yourself to “know everything,” instead of giving yourself permission to simply learn His voice over time?

2. Where have you been living like everything depends on you, when Jesus is offering to stand between you and what you fear? Do the voices guiding you right now feel like protection… or pressure?

3. .Where have you experienced people leaving when things got hard, and how has that shaped the way you expect Jesus to show up?

4. Where do you struggle to believe that you are already known and already included, not because of what you’ve done, but because of who Jesus is?

5. When Jesus challenges what you’ve always believed, do you tend to shut down, get defensive, or stay curious?
