A Seed Must Die - John 12:20-50 | May 22, 2026

Welcome to One Single Story, Season 5 -- a weekday podcast where Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Pastor Sheryl Daughety walk through the One Year Bible one passage at a time. Today we are in John 12:20-50, where Jesus reframes death as a pathway to glory and calls his followers to walk in the light. In This Episode: * What it means that a seed must die to produce life -- and how that applies to Christ's sacrifice and our own daily surrender * Why resisting the light is always a choice, never an accident * How God's kingdom measures success by obedience and faithfulness, not visibility or outcomes Key Quote: "Faithfulness is more important than visibility in the kingdom -- and obedience is more important than outcomes."
