Just Jesus Podcast
In this episode, we talk about the birth of Jesus and why He is the reason for the season. We reflect on what Christmas really points to and why the birth of Jesus isn’t the whole story, but the beginning of it.
We also touch on some of the details around the Christmas story that are often talked about, including the Star of Bethlehem, and why not every part of the story is as simple as we sometimes think.
In this episode, Cory, Steven, and Savannah talk about the idea that the devil never outright lied, he twisted the truth. Steven plays devil’s advocate as the conversation unpacks how half truth can confuse and mislead. Cory shares a powerful story about the missing piece, reminding us that real peace is found when we return to Scripture.
Cory, Steven, and Savannah dive into one of the most surprising ideas in the Bible: that God often creates things fully formed and already mature. From Adam to the stars to the earth itself, the team explores how creation may have carried the appearance of age from the very beginning. Even the miracles of Jesus point to something bigger. Join the conversation and see how this thought can shift the way you look at Scripture, faith, and the world around you.
In this episode we look at a hidden link between Samson and Jesus that we completely missed in our earlier episode “Strong Roots.” Cory brings it up and it opens the story in a whole new way.
In this episode we talk about what happens when you grow and change, but people still see the old you. We look at how Paul, Peter, and even Jesus dealt with the same thing and why it is so hard for us to accept when someone we know is stepping into a new season. From friendships to social media, we break down why celebrating each other’s growth matters.
Cory, Steven, and Savannah talk about what it really means to stay in the Word, even when it doesn’t always stick. Sometimes reading the Bible isn’t about making it complicated; it’s about simply showing up. They dig into the difference between studying and just reading, why it’s okay to start with a simpler translation, and how going back to versions like the KJV can help you get closer to the original meaning. Whether you’re highlighting verses in an app or just trying to build the habit, this episode is all about keeping the Word alive in your everyday life.
This episode takes a wild turn from a man named Frank Devereaux who fought a bear to the death, to the real fight we face every day.
Steven shares the story and how it reminded him of the constant battle with the enemy.
Cory talks about what it means to stay prayed up and why devotion matters more than we think.
And somewhere along the way, Steven and Savannah admit they weren’t even sure what a “devotional” really was.
It’s raw, real, and a reminder that every day is a fight worth showing up for.
In this episode of the Just Jesus Podcast, Pastor Cory steps back into the hot seat to tackle some of the deepest, most thought-provoking questions submitted by our church family. We’re talking about the kind of questions that make you stop and really think—like “Who gave birth to God?”, “Why do I feel stuck in my faith even though my family’s already been baptized?”, “Is once saved, always saved true?”, and “When and how should I fast?”
We also dig into Daniel’s fast—what it really means, how to approach it, and why it still matters today. It’s a raw and honest conversation full of wisdom, encouragement, and moments that will challenge and strengthen your walk with Christ.
Next listen: If these questions stir up thoughts about sin—what it is, why it matters, and how grace meets us—check out our episode on SIN right after this one.
Pull up a chair, lean in, and join us for part two of The Hot Seat—real questions, real answers, and real faith.
