Jesus does something unexpected: He takes on the role of a servant and washes His disciples’ feet. Why would the King of Kings stoop so low? And what does His example reveal about cleansing, sanctification, and the daily walk of a disciple?
Through a simple car wash illustration, we explore what it means to stay “spiritually clean” in a world full of dust, temptation, and distraction. Jesus not only washes our sins away — He continually invites us into a life of humility, love, and service rooted in His example.
Whether you’re seeking encouragement, wanting to grow in your faith, or looking to understand the heart of Jesus more deeply, this episode offers practical insight and hope grounded in Scripture.

Everything in balance. As Jesus spends the evening at the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, each of the siblings shows us a different aspect of living in a full relationship with Jesus. Martha serves, Lazarus listens to His Words, and Mary worships. We seek to live a Christian life that strikes balance in all three areas.

Similar, but different. While we might resemble one another as brothers and sisters of the same Heavenly Father, we are not all the same. Jesus visits the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, and each interacts with Jesus in a unique way as they express their appreciation for His work in their lives.
