The Best Man, Not The Bridegroom

Caleb Buddemeyer dives into the humility and joy of John the Baptist, who sees himself as the friend of the bridegroom, joyfully pointing others to Jesus. Reflecting on John’s declaration, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” Caleb challenges listeners to consider their role as part of God’s “bridal party”—serving, supporting, and celebrating Jesus as the center of faith. Caleb explains that, like John, we’re called to embrace a life that lifts Jesus up and allows God’s love and purpose to flow through us, bringing hope and salvation to others.
