A martyr, in the New Testament sense, is not someone who is going to die for Jesus but someone who has already died with him—and been raised from the dead!

P.S. An Invitation to Sow . . . Would you invite your friends, family, coworkers, and colleagues to join this morning meeting with Jesus we call the Wake-Up Call? I know this is not the coolest, shiniest, most impressive podcast out there these days. But it is real and it is alive and Jesus is in it. So if it is helping you to wake up to Jesus every day, would you pray about who you might invite to join us and invite them? Thank you. This page can help: seedbed.com/wakeupcall. Are you living in “the flow” of Jesus, or is the world quietly lulling you to spiritual sleep? In this thought-provoking episode of Seedbed’s “Wake Up Call,” John David Walt invites you to examine the powerful tension between the church and the world within us. Starting with a rousing call to consecration, John David Walt explores what it means to truly belong to Christ—body, mind, and spirit—and unveils the stark difference between living as part of the church in the world versus letting the world infiltrate the church itself. Drawing inspiration from Ephesians 4:17-21, he shares deep reflections on how Paul’s letters go beyond mere words, channeling the living Word of God through a witness’s heart. Key moments include an insight into Paul’s vulnerable process of writing from prison—how the apostle was moved not just to write, but to preach and witness as a conduit for God’s message. Another highlight is John David Walt's candid analogy about Starbucks spending, using humor and honesty to reveal our modern struggles with double-mindedness and the subtle pull of worldly indulgences. Finally, don’t miss the stirring reminder that Jesus isn’t calling us out of the world, but to let go of its hold within us—and that the abundant, “flow” state of life is available to those willing to say, “Jesus, I want you.” Whether you’ve ever felt torn between spiritual passion and everyday distractions, or you long for a greater sense of purpose in your faith, this episode will encourage you to step into the joy of being fully alive in Christ.
