seeking God post-election.

from Taking the Tov Way · host Maya Andrea Johnson

In this episode, we dive deep into Jesus’ heart for truth and true worship, reflecting on His first public miracle at the wedding in Cana and His passionate cleansing of the temple. By turning water into wine, Jesus shows us the fullness of God’s provision, challenging us to surrender our old understandings (symbolized by water pots) and allow His Spirit to transform our hearts with new insight, humility, and love. We draw parallels between Jesus’ cleansing of the temple and today’s call for believers to hold worship spaces—and our hearts—in reverence, free from self-interest and manipulation and to be deeply concerned for the hearts of others, being careful not to obstruct, but to lead people to a life of true worship that can be only found in Jesus Christ. This episode also brings in timely reflections on the recent election, encouraging us to seek God’s wisdom over political allegiance and examine our own hearts and actions in light of His truth. Scripture References: John 2:1-12 – The wedding at Cana, Jesus’ first miracle John 2:13-22 – Jesus cleanses the temple, showing zeal for God’s house John 8:42-45 – Jesus confronts the Pharisees’ lack of discernment for truth 1 Corinthians 2:14 – Truth is spiritually discerned through the Spirit Romans 12:1 – True worship as presenting our lives as living sacrifices Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trusting in God rather than leaning on our own understanding By looking at Jesus’ example, we’re reminded to prioritize the heart of worship, grounded in humility, love, and submission to God’s wisdom. This election season, may we seek the Spirit’s guidance, remaining open to His truth above all else. This is a public episode.
