When most people think of Jonah, they picture a fish. Yet the fish appears in only three verses of this profound prophetic book. So if Jonah isn’t really about a fish, what’s it about?

In this special (short) episode, Nathan invites you to join him in a verse-by-verse study of the book of Jonah where we discover that Jonah is a book about the Living God who relentlessly pursues the lost, even when His own people would prefer He didn’t. And woven throughout this humorous yet convicting narrative, we’ll see stunning shadows of Jesus Christ and His Gospel.

Names in the Bible are far more than labels—they reveal character, nature, reputation, and identity.

In this episode, Nathan Johnson explores why the names of God are vital for knowing Him personally and growing spiritually.

If you want to deepen your walk with Christ and experience the richness of Scripture in a fresh way, studying the names of God will revolutionize your spiritual life and ignite authentic worship from a heart that truly beholds His majesty.

George Müller (1805–1898) was a man who lived fully by faith and prayer, caring for over 10,000 orphans, giving away hundreds of thousands of Bibles, and inspiring generations to trust God’s promises.

In this episode, Nathan Johnson explores the incredible life and legacy of Müller—once a liar, thief, and drunkard who was transformed by Christ into a humble servant of God. From his radical dependence on prayer, to his refusal to ask for money, to the miraculous ways God provided for thousands of children in Bristol, Müller’s story continues to challenge believers to live a surrendered life of faith, prayer, and obedience to Jesus Christ. Join us as we unpack his biography, his lessons on faith, and the powerful truths from Scripture that shaped his life.

Most people think worship means singing songs—but the Bible reveals it’s far deeper. True worship is a lifestyle of beholding, intimacy, and sacrifice. In short, it must become the posture of your heart, the focus of your life, and the daily offering of yourself to God.

In this Christ-centered Bible teaching, Nathan Johnson explores what biblical worship really means, uncovering its rich depth in Scripture through the ideas of beholding, kissing, and sacrifice. Discover how worship is a lifestyle that transforms every area of your life, helping you glorify Jesus Christ in everything you do.

Whether you’re a new believer or a mature Christian longing to go deeper, this message will help you understand that worship goes beyond music and will inspire you to live fully for the preeminence, majesty, and glory of Jesus.

But do I truly love the Lord our God with EVERYTHING?

esus is to be the obsession and focus of a Christian's life. Yet how do we discover what we are truly obsessed with?

In this episode, we discover:

• the four indicators that reveal what we are obsessed with in our lives
• why it is imperative that Jesus is our sole obsession
• and the definition of idolatry (looking to anyone or anything besides Jesus to meet my needs)

Simply, if Jesus isn't our obsession, then we will be distracted with something—for God made us to be obsessed. The question really is … what am I obsessed with?
