Episode Transcript
Get ready to redefine your Sunday with a journey to the mountaintop—literally and spiritually. In this heartfelt episode of Seedbed Inc’s “Wake-Up Call,” host John David Walt is joined by his dad, David Walt, as they invite you into a morning of worship, wonder, and reflection at the start of a new week in Lent.
This episode is unlike any other—you’ll hear why Sundays aren’t counted in the 40 days of Lent, and why they’re set apart as feast days in the midst of fasting. Experience a moving reading from Matthew 17:1-9 as John David Walt takes us all the way to the top of Transfiguration Mountain, choosing to let the words of scripture speak for themselves with no added commentary, creating space for a personal encounter with one of the Bible’s most powerful moments.
Joined by David Walt—longtime spiritual mentor and beloved singing partner—the episode guides you through an intimate season of consecration and celebration. Together, they lead the classic hymn “My Jesus I Love Thee,” sharing not just music but a loving family dynamic that will warm your heart.
Key moments include:
The powerful reminder that “The best is yet to come,” as John David Walt and David Walt reflect on heaven, hope, and why it’s important to live with eternity in mind.
An honest conversation about facing death—not with fear, but with readiness and anticipation rooted in faith.
The comfort and courage found in Jesus’ victory over death, and how that reshapes our every day.
If you’re longing for deeper rest, reassurance, and renewal—or just a refreshing, unscripted Sunday morning with friends—this episode is for you.
