What if Jesus looked you in the eyes and asked, "Who do you say that I am?" This episode of Seedbed Inc’s Wake-Up Call isn’t just another devotional—it’s a heart-to-heart invitation to move beyond knowing about Jesus, to truly knowing Him. Join our host, John David Walt, as he opens up about his personal journey of faith, challenging listeners to define their own relationship with Jesus. Special guest David Walt brings warmth and wisdom, joining his son for an honest conversation and an inspiring time of music. Together, they explore the life-changing power of authenticity in faith, breaking free from rote answers and religious constructs in favor of real, honest connection with Christ. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why the question "Who do you say that I am?" is the most important question you’ll ever answer—and how its meaning should continually grow in your life. The difference between knowing facts about Jesus and experiencing a personal revelation of Him. How to approach spiritual “deconstruction” and find hope in rebuilding authentic faith, as John David Walt encourages honesty before God. The power of singing together, featuring Graham Kendrick’s beloved hymn, "Knowing You"—a moment that brings head knowledge to heart experience. Whether you’re searching for fresh faith or need to rekindle your spiritual fire, this episode meets you where you are and inspires you to step further into a living relationship with Jesus.
