Well, hey and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. On this episode, Jason, Josh, and I sit down and talk about Sunday's message. If you haven't listened to Sunday's message, then I want to encourage you to stop here and give that a listen. We hope that you enjoy this conversation.

After Jesus’ baptism launches His public ministry, Luke unexpectedly pauses the story to trace a genealogy that reveals far more than names—it reveals identity. By connecting Jesus to David, Abraham, Adam, and ultimately God Himself, Luke shows that Jesus is not only Israel’s promised King but the Savior for all humanity. This message uncovers how Jesus doesn’t just come from these figures—He fulfills them as the greater King, the true Son, and the hope of the world.

Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. We hope you enjoy this conversation.

God breaks centuries of silence with a call to repentance, preparing hearts to receive the One who can truly save. John clears the way, but Jesus brings transformation—dealing with sin, offering new life, and revealing the heart of a Father who delights in His Son before a single miracle is performed. This message calls us to respond with repentance, baptism, and a life rooted not in striving for approval, but in living as the beloved.

Well Hey and Welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast.

John the Baptist delivers a blunt warning: God’s wrath is real, and preparation begins with repentance. Repentance is more than feeling bad or saying sorry—it is a changed life that produces visible fruit. Luke 3 confronts the dangerous idea that heritage, church familiarity, or good intentions can replace true repentance before God.

Hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. My name is Nate, and I am so glad that you are here on today's episode. Jason, Josh, and I sit down, and we discuss last Sunday's message. If you haven't listened to last Sunday's message, then I want to encourage you to stop here and give that a listen. Well, without further ado, we hope you enjoy this conversation.

Luke places the ministry of Jesus firmly in real history, then shows us something surprising—when God speaks, He bypasses the powerful and sends His word to a prophet in the wilderness. John the Baptist calls people to repentance and baptism, not as an end, but as preparation for the coming of Jesus. This message challenges us to consider whether our obedience today is shaping our ability to recognize and receive what God wants to do next.a
