What if the most powerful change you could make today is simply fixing your gaze? In this soul-stirring episode of Seedbed’s Wake-Up Call, John David Walt invites us to journey through Proverbs 4, exploring what it means to fix our eyes—and our hearts—on what matters most. Joined by co-host David Walt, this episode blends deep wisdom with everyday storytelling and a splash of Sunday-morning warmth. Dive into the heart of Proverbs chapter 4 as John David Walt shares his own coming-of-age story about crooked soybean rows and the life-changing lesson an old farmer taught him: you’ll only drive straight when your eyes are fixed on a distant point. That image becomes a living metaphor for our spiritual journey, beckoning us to set our vision on Jesus—the ultimate focal point on the horizon. Key themes in this episode include the vital connection between what captures our focus and the direction of our lives, the daily battle to “guard your heart,” and a gentle challenge: what if you made Jesus not just one aspiration among many, but the singular focus of your life? You won’t want to miss: The practical wisdom behind “guard your heart”—and why it all starts with your eyes An authentic discussion on the fears we face in fully surrendering to God’s call A moving, unscripted moment of hymn-singing that brings the cross into sharp focus, complete with personal family memories and the warmth of community This episode is a breath of fresh air for anyone longing for clarity, purpose, and a bit of encouragement to start their week. Whether you’re listening while savoring your last cup of coffee or on your way to church, let this conversation help you “fix your eyes” on what truly matters. Subscribe now for more real, inspiring conversations that help you walk out your faith, one step—and one day—at a time.
