The Most Excellent Way to Measure What Matters Most

Wake up, sleeper—it's time to discover the single measure that matters most in life and faith. In this inspiring episode of Seedbed Inc’s “Wake Up Call,” host John David Walt invites you to reimagine what it really means to grow spiritually. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13, “The Love Chapter,” John David explores why all the achievements, gifts, and heroic acts in the world amount to nothing if they're missing one essential ingredient—love. You’ll hear how John David’s own journey, alongside colleague and creative director Nick Perot, sparked a quest to not just memorize, but “rememberize” Scripture—embedding it deep within to transform daily living. Their insights uncover the Bible’s practical pathway for measuring growth, moving beyond subjective feelings to a radical, lived-out definition of love. Tune in for: A powerful reminder that love isn’t just “soft and fuzzy”—it’s the core substance and the ultimate evidence of transformation. Real talk about the difference between outward spiritual acts and true inner change. A fresh breakdown of “agape” love as the unselfish, sacrificial goodness that sets the standard for authentic Christian living. Plus, John David weaves in classic hymns and personal moments with his Sunday school students, bringing warmth, encouragement, and real-life connection to the message.
