Transformational Question 1

What if the most transformational question you could ask yourself is not about what you do, but about what God is doing in you? In this episode of Seedbed’s “Wake Up Call,” host John David Walt dives deep into the heart of spiritual growth—not by measuring religious activity, but by exploring true transformation. Kicking off with a grounding moment of consecration, John David Walt shares the story behind The Wake Up Call’s origins and introduces a pivotal conversation with behind-the-scenes producer Nick Perot. The episode centers around the first of “The Three Transformational Questions of Lent,” inspired by mentor Maxie Dunnam’s timeless wisdom: “Am I growing?” Listeners are challenged to reflect not just on their daily routines, but on whether their journey with Jesus is marked by genuine change. Hear stirring reflections on why Jesus, so often considered “the answer,” might actually be more interested in asking questions—and discover what it means that he only directly answered three out of over 180 questions posed to him! A few key moments to listen for: The surprising difference between spiritual activities and true growth (John David Walt’s own “humblebrag” story will get you thinking differently about Bible reading and prayer routines). The favorite question of Jesus—asked seven times in the Gospels—and what it reveals about our connection to Scripture. A moving family singalong with David Walt, as father and son close the episode with the beloved hymn “My Hope Is Built,” inspiring listeners to set their foundation on Christ. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your faith or wondered how to know if you’re truly growing, this episode will encourage you to engage with your journey on a deeper level.
