For the Love of a Krispy Kreme Doughnut

What if truly knowing Jesus was as tangible—and irresistible—as biting into a fresh, hot Krispy Kreme donut? In this enlightening episode of Seedbed Inc’s “Wake-Up Call,” host John David Walt invites listeners on a sensory journey that’ll challenge everything you thought you knew about faith, knowledge, and genuine relationship with God. Joined by co-host and his father, David Walt, John David Walt explores the powerful difference between knowing about Jesus and actually experiencing His goodness firsthand. You’ll be drawn in by a memorable illustration involving donuts (yes, real donuts), taste, and Scripture—specifically Psalm 34:8, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” Through riveting storytelling and heartfelt reflection, the episode dives deep into how religious practices differ from true relationship, and why information alone can never substitute for transformational experience. Key moments include: An unforgettable live demonstration in which John David Walt teases the crowd with a donut, transforming a simple craving into a profound lesson about spiritual hunger and satisfaction. A discussion about the “overlapping circles” of knowledge and knowing, sparking a journal prompt that invites listeners to personally reflect on their own faith journey. A moving father-son duet of the ancient hymn “Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee,” connecting the church’s rich musical tradition across centuries. Whether you’re craving a deeper spiritual connection or just in need of inspiration to start your day, this episode offers a delicious invitation to move beyond information and truly encounter Christ.
