The Least Asked Most Important Question of Our Time

What if the greatest hindrance to your spiritual awakening is simply believing you’re already awake? In this thought-provoking episode of Seedbed’s “Unpuzzled,” John David Walt delivers a soulful wake-up call, inviting listeners to look beyond routine faith and ask the bold question: “What if we are all asleep?” Guided by Ephesians 5:14b—“Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you”—John David Walt explores why Easter shouldn’t just be a historical anniversary, but a living, daily reality. He challenges the tendency to equate knowledge and busy faith with true awakening, examining how easy it is to settle for the status quo and miss out on the Resurrection power available here and now. Through honest reflection and heartfelt prayers, John David Walt encourages listeners to seek a deeper “knowing” of Christ that transcends mere information. Key moments include an invitation to journal and self-examine one’s own “holy discontent,” a captivating discussion of biblical and historical seasons when entire communities weren’t aware they’d grown spiritually complacent, and a moving group singing of Graham Kendrick’s hymn “Knowing You” that reinforces the heart’s longing for deeper connection with Jesus. Whether you’re a lifelong churchgoer or exploring faith anew, this episode will challenge and uplift you to pursue transformation over simple education. Wake up to the possibility that there’s always more to experience in Christ! Subscribe for more conversations that awaken your faith and nurture your journey.
