The Question of All Questions

Who is Jesus to you—really? In this thought-provoking episode of Seedbed Inc’s Wake-Up Call, host John David Walt invites you to wrestle with the "question of all questions"—a challenge that has echoed for centuries and confronts each of us personally: “Who do you say I am?” Drawing from Mark 8:27-29, John David Walt unpacks the scene at Caesarea Philippi, a place bustling with religious fervor, and uses it as a backdrop for Jesus’ direct and transformative question to his disciples. Through engaging stories from his time leading confirmation classes, John David Walt shifts the focus from religious ritual and easy answers to a bold, living engagement with Christ during Lent. This episode also features a warm guest moment with his son, David Walt, Seedbed’s creative “artist in residence,” as they share music and reflect on deepening friendship with Jesus. Plus, don’t miss: An exploration of why giving the “right” answer can still miss the heart of true faith. A creative journey through Lent that challenges listeners to move from the crowds to the inner circle of Jesus' friendship. Uplifting music in the form of the classic, “There’s Something About That Name,” and practical encouragement for taking your walk with Jesus beyond Sunday school answers. Perfect for anyone seeking authentic discipleship and spiritual awakening, this episode calls you to move closer to Jesus in a fresh, personal way.
