Faith According to Jesus - What Jesus Called No Faith and Unbelief
In this episode, we explore the sober side of “faith according to Jesus”: what He referred to as "no faith". First, we go to Nazareth, where the people who knew Jesus best were “offended” at Him, and He marveled at their unbelief, doing only a few miracles there because their hearts were closed. Then we walk into the valley of Mark 9, where a desperate father brings his demon‑tormented son, the disciples cannot help, and Jesus calls out a “faithless generation” even as the father cries, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” Along the way, we’ll see the difference between weak faith and no faith, how familiarity without honor and ministry without dependence can shut us off from what Jesus wants to do, and how to bring our unbelief honestly to Him so He can strengthen our faith and trust in Him rather than leave us in the state we are in.

Faith According to Jesus: Faith That Acts
In this episode, we return to the moment that led Jesus to say, “Have faith in God.” This wasn’t a random slogan about faith—it was a response to a real situation the disciples had just witnessed. They saw the fig tree wither and had to wrestle with what Jesus said and did in that moment.We walk through the kind of faith Jesus was actually talking about in Mark 11:20–25—how it acts, how it is activated, and how it brings glory to the Father. We also pay attention to what Jesus refused to separate from faith: forgiveness. According to Jesus, faith that speaks, asks, and believes must also forgive, or we miss the heart of His instruction.Scripture references: Mark 11:12–25; Matthew 21:18–22; John 15:7; Matthew 6:14–15; James 1:6–7; Romans 4:20–21 Order the book: But What Did GOD Say?™ The Book — Understanding God’s Communication But What Did GOD Say?_BookDownload the App: But What Did GOD Say?™ The App But-What-Did-GOD-Say-app Disclaimer:I do not own the rights to the music used in the intro and outro of this content.

What Jesus Called 'Little Faith'
In this episode, we return to Matthew 8:23–27 to sit with Jesus and His disciples in the middle of a great storm. We walk through three key observations from the scene in the boat and then zoom out to notice what the disciples had already seen Jesus do before the storm ever hit. Along the way, we explore what Jesus meant by “little faith,” how easily we forget our history with God in a new crisis, and how remembering His words and works can steady us in our own storms today. If you are facing waves in your life right now, this episode invites you to see the same Jesus who calmed the sea as the One who is with you today.

What Jesus Called "Great Faith"
In this first episode of the ‘Faith According to Jesus’ series, we slow down with Matthew 8:5–13 and listen to how Jesus responds to a Roman centurion. Jesus says He has not found such great faith, not even in Israel. What did He see in this man? We look at three simple marks of this ‘great faith’: coming to Jesus on behalf of another, believing what we have heard about Him enough to seek Him, and trusting His word and authority without needing to see first. I also share a real area where I am learning to practice this kind of faith in my own weakness, and we end with a prayer to the Father, to Jesus, and to the Holy Spirit. This episode is for anyone who wants their idea of faith to be shaped by what Jesus actually praised.

If They Change the Name, Did GOD Change His Promise
In this episode of “But What Did GOD Say?”, we confront the anxiety around the rumored claim about Social Security being changed to “federal benefit payments” and ask a deeper question: Who has really been our Source all along? We talk honestly about why so many of us who have worked 20–40 years feel dismissed, renamed, and at risk, then bring that tension under the light of God’s Word to rediscover what He says about our labor, our identity, and our provision. We close with a focused, scripture-based prayer over us as retirees, those of us on fixed incomes, and all of us who are battling fear about our financial future.

Observe to Do All Jesus Commands
In this episode of But What Did God Say?, we dive into Matthew 28:16-20 and unpack the phrase, “teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you.” What does it really mean to observe the words of Jesus? Is it just about hearing, or is it about guarding, keeping, and obeying what He said?This message came from a fresh look at the Great Commission and a powerful reminder that discipleship is not just about going — it is about teaching others to live by the sayings of Christ. If we have truly heard Him, then His words must become more than information; they must become instruction.This episode will challenge and encourage you to move beyond hearing into obedience and to see the call of Jesus in a deeper way. Because the question is not only, “What did God say?” but also, “Will I observe to do it?” Order the book: But What Did GOD Say?™ The Book — Understanding God’s Communication But What Did GOD Say?_BookDownload the App: But What Did GOD Say?™ The App But-What-Did-GOD-Say-app Disclaimer:I do not own the rights to the music used in the intro and outro of this content.

The Anointed and Empowered Life of Jesus
In this episode, we slow down with one loaded verse—Acts 10:38—and let it redefine what an “anointed life” really is. We see Jesus as the One the Father anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. From there, we explore four simple but deep movements: being rooted in relationship, revealing His goodness in everyday life, standing against oppression in Christ’s victory, and resting in God’s presence. Along the way, I ask an honest question for the “ladies in the back”: after hearing what Jesus was anointed to do, is it still hard to believe He did it for you? If you’ve ever wrestled with whether He is good, willing, or whether you’re really included, this conversation is for you.

Lord Change My Filter
In this episode, a simple moment of making the bed and humming a song became a divine setup for God to talk about filters—the unseen lenses that shape how we hear Him, see ourselves, and respond to others. In this episode, we unpack how fear, comparison, performance, and self can clog our spiritual filters, and how the Holy Spirit invites us not just to “clean up,” but to let Him change the filter completely.If you’ve ever held back your voice or your worship because of what others might think, this episode will help you step out of performance, into authenticity, and back into the flow of honoring the Lamb with your life.

Let The Redeemed of The Lord Say So!
In this episode of “But What Did GOD Say?” we dive into Psalm 107 and the call: “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” We trace the four portraits in the psalm—the wanderer, the prisoner, the sick, and the sailor in the storm—and see the same pattern in each story: they cried, God heard, and He rescued. From there, we explore what redemption really is, not as self‑improvement, but as deliverance from enemies we could never defeat on our own—sin, death, and the powers of darkness—through the blood of Jesus.You’ll also hear a personal testimony about learning that “a closed mouth does not get fed,” and how opening our mouths to share what Christ has done actually brings us into deeper freedom and intimacy with Him. The episode closes with guided reflection questions to help you locate yourself in Psalm 107 and take a practical step toward “saying so” this week, followed by a prayer asking Jesus, our Redeemer, to give us courage to speak and to use our simple words for His glory.

Live in The Awareness of His Holy Presence
In this episode, we talk about learning to live in the awareness of God’s holy presence in the middle of ordinary life. Our focus often settles horizontally—on people, opinions, circumstances, and even ourselves—and our inner lens starts to cloud. What begins as worship can drift into evaluation, and what begins with Jesus can quietly become all about what others are doing or how we feel.Through Scripture, we see how judgment, comparison, and self-focus disturb our peace, and how looking unto Jesus renews our minds and clears our vision. As we turn our gaze back to Christ, a present reality becomes clear: He is holy, and He is with us. From the garden in Genesis to the promise of Revelation, God’s intent has not changed—God with His people.This episode invites us to let the Lord search our hearts, shift us from horizontal distraction to vertical focus, and practice simple, biblical steps that help us live each day in the light of His holy presence.

We Are Not of Those Who Draw Back
In a season where so many of us are carrying real pressure—health concerns, family strain, financial stress, hard decisions, long waiting seasons, and deep weariness—Hebrews gives us a steady anchor: “We are not of those who draw back.” In this episode, we read Hebrews 10:38–39 in context and walk through what it means to live by faith, what “draw back” looks like in real life, and what “unto perdition” and “to the saving of the soul” actually mean. Then we connect the passage to our victory in Christ: Jesus has overcome the world, and in Him we are more than conquerors and overcomers—not by willpower, but by faith in His finished work.

Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness
What did Jesus mean when He said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6)? In this episode, we explore how that hunger and thirst is ultimately for Jesus—the Bread of Life and the Living Water (John 6:35; John 4:14). We also clarify what “righteousness” is: not self-made goodness, but right standing with God that we receive in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). Then we bring it into everyday life—what it looks like to seek God’s Word, choose integrity, forgive, and stop feeding on what leaves us spiritually dry.

Jesus, The Lord Who Builds The House
In a world that rewards hustle and speed, many of us are building nonstop—and still feel unsteady. So we start where Scripture starts: “Unless the LORD builds the house…” (Psalm 127:1). That verse doesn’t condemn work—it exposes the difference between labor that lasts and labor that becomes vain.From there, we listen to Jesus as the Builder in Matthew 16, and we follow what the Word shows about what He builds, how it grows strong, and what our part looks like as we yield to His Word and His Spirit. If you’ve been striving to hold everything together, come sit with the Scriptures and let the Lord reset the foundation.

Who Do You Say That I Am?
There are many conversations about Jesus — opinions, assumptions, and competing claims. But in Matthew 16:13–17, Jesus did not ask His disciples what others were saying. He asked them directly: “But who do you say that I am?”In this episode, we walk through that passage carefully and let Scripture interpret Scripture. We examine Peter’s confession that Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” and we follow how the Bible defines those truths — from the Spirit’s role in revealing Christ (John 16:13–14; John 15:26), to the testimony of Scripture that Jesus is Creator and Sustainer (Colossians 1:15–17).We also consider why this question is not secondary. Jesus warned that unbelief leaves a person in sin (John 8:24), and Paul taught that salvation involves believing and confessing Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9–10).Throughout the episode, we are invited to examine where our understanding of Jesus comes from and whether our response aligns with what God has said.The question remains personal — and it still stands today: Order the book: But What Did GOD Say?™ The Book — Understanding God’s Communication But What Did GOD Say?_BookDownload the App: But What Did GOD Say?™ The App But-What-Did-GOD-Say-app Disclaimer:I do not own the rights to the music used in the intro and outro of this content.

The Open Gate (A Prayer Journey)
In this gentle, story-style guided prayer, we step away from pressure, worry, and striving — and into a peaceful picture of surrender. Through the imagery of an open gate, a strong stone table, and a quiet path forward, this episode helps listeners release what they’ve been carrying and rediscover the strength found in trust.If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or worn down, this is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember: you were never meant to carry it all alone.Come lay it down.Come find rest.

Jesus Our Intercessor
What happens when the case is already closed — and we’re still living as though it’s open?In this episode of But What Did GOD Say?™, we pause long enough to witness what Scripture has already settled.Using Romans 8:34 as our anchor, we’re invited into a quiet but weighty reality:Jesus Christ is not only the One who died and rose again — He now lives to intercede for us.This isn’t a lesson on how to defend ourselves.It’s a reminder that we no longer have to.Through Scripture, reflection, and a courtroom image that helps us see what’s taking place beyond what we feel, we sit with the truth that our Representative has already stepped forward — fully recognized, fully accepted, and fully sufficient.This episode is an invitation to rest.To stop rehearsing the charges.To trust the finished work.And to remember that intercession is still happening — above us and within us.So wherever you’re listening from, take a breath.Slow down.And let the truth speak.Jesus Christ lives to intercede for us.

Jesus' Final Words of Trust
In this final episode of our Observing Jesus series, we come to the closing moments of Jesus’ earthly life. In Gospel of Luke 23:44–46, Jesus speaks directly to the Father and commits His spirit into His hands, echoing the prayer of Psalms 31:5. Alongside Gospel of John 19:30, we observe not panic, but trust — spoken at the completion of His work. As we watch His final words, we are invited to place ourselves into the hands of a faithful Father.

Jesus Responsed - Not Reacted
When urgency rises, we often feel pressure to act fast. But in Gospel of John 6:5–13, Jesus shows us a different way. Faced with a hungry crowd and an impossible need, He did not move from panic — He moved from trust. He gave thanks and acted from His relationship with the Father. The need was real, but the pressure did not control Him.We also see this same posture in His teaching in Gospel of Luke 12:11–12, where He tells His disciples not to rehearse anxious answers, but to trust the Holy Spirit in the moment.Jesus responded with calm, Father-led purpose. He did not react from anxiety — and through His example, we’re invited to live the same way.

Jesus Loved Without Being Pulled Off Mission
Jesus was moved with compassion — and yet He did not drift from the Father’s purpose.This episode observes how Jesus loved deeply without allowing compassion to redefine His mission.Through Scripture, we reflect on a kind of love that stays rooted, aligned, and faithful — a love that flows from a relationship with the Father rather than from pressure to meet every need.

Jesus Withdrew Without Guilt
Jesus often withdrew — not because He stopped caring, but because remaining aligned with the Father mattered more than responding to every demand.This episode observes how Jesus stepped away from urgency without apology and lived from clarity rather than pressure.Through Scripture, we are invited to reflect on the difference between urgency and obedience, and to consider how withdrawal can be an act of faithfulness rather than avoidance.

Jesus Prayed from Trust in the Father
In moments of deep weight and unanswered questions, Jesus prayed — not from certainty, but from a place of trust.This episode observes Jesus in the garden, where honesty, surrender, and trust meet.Through Scripture, we notice how Jesus brings His full heart to the Father and entrusts the outcome without resistance.This reflection invites us to consider what it looks like to pray honestly while remaining surrendered to the Father out of trust.

Jesus Returned to Prayer with the Father
After listening to the Father, Jesus didn’t rush forward — He repetitively returned to prayer with Him. This episode lingers in Scripture to observe a pattern in Jesus’ life: again and again, He withdrew to return to prayer, even as the crowds increased and the needs multiplied.Rather than treating prayer as an activity, we observe prayer as a place — the place Jesus lived from. This reflection invites us to slow down, dwell in the Word, and consider how returning prayer mattered so much to Jesus.

Jesus Listened First
There’s a lot being said right now. And for many of us, the challenge isn’t caring too little — it’s caring deeply while struggling to discern which voice to follow. In this episode, we slow down and look closely at Jesus — not just at what He said, but at how He lived.Before the crowds.Before the pressure.Before the miracles.Jesus listened. Through Scripture, reflection, and personal testimony, we explore how Jesus made space to listen, how prayer flowed from relationship rather than reaction, and how worship protected His posture in a loud world. This is an invitation — not to strive, not to figure everything out — but to pause, turn our attention toward the Father, and rediscover where listening truly begins.

The Answer Was in the Instruction Overlooked
Sometimes we pray with all sincerity and still can’t find peace—not because God is silent, but because we’re praying from a posture that needs realignment.In this episode, Teri Garnett shares a real moment that opened her eyes to why peace didn’t return through more words, but through a change in posture. Drawing from James 4:3 and the reality of praying amiss, we reflect on how prayer shifted when we returned to an instruction God had already given. What was overlooked wasn’t passion or faith—but obedience to what God had already said.Through Scripture, conversation, and the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit, this episode explores how overlooked obedience affects our posture in prayer, and how returning to God’s Word realigns both our hearts and our asking. This isn’t about praying harder or longer, but about coming rightly—listening, responding, and allowing obedience to shape how we approach God.If you’ve ever prayed while your mind was still racing…If you’ve ever asked God to move while holding on tightly yourself…This episode gives language to what many of us have felt but couldn’t explain.The answer may have already been spoken—it’s just that the instruction was overlooked.Note: Ensure to do your thing with the episode for the YouTube platform (2026).We are doing a good work here and I want to thank you for Your support.

Realign with What GOD Says
In this closing episode of the year, Teri Garnett reflects on how realignment with what God says has become a lived and ongoing response in her journey — not perfection, but participation and agreement with what God has already spoken. Through honest reflection and practical examples, she shares how the Holy Spirit has been teaching her to notice the places where alignment drifts in daily life — in her words, her thoughts, her heart, and her responses — and how returning to what God says brings clarity and direction.Drawing from 2 Peter 1:3 and moments from the lives of Mary and Peter, this episode traces how realignment flows from the provision God already established in Christ, and how agreement with His voice shapes the way we move forward. It’s a quiet invitation to step into the new year listening for the Spirit, noticing where alignment drifts, and returning to agreement with what God says.

Returning To God
What if returning to God doesn’t begin with our efforts, but with His work in our hearts? In this episode, Teri Garnett reflects on the gentle, often unspoken turning that happens within us long before we recognize it as “returning.” Rooted in Jeremiah 24:7, this conversation explores how God draws us back to Himself by giving us a heart to know Him — and how awareness of that quiet work changes the way we live.If you’ve ever sensed a pull toward God you couldn’t explain, or felt a longing that rose without your permission, this reflection may help you name what has already begun in you. We’re not going back to earn, to fix, or to start over — we’re returning because God first turned His heart toward us.

Remembering the God Who First Remembered Me
In this episode, Teri Garnett looks back on a moment the Holy Spirit brought back to her memory — a moment that revealed how life without God had quietly become a grave. She shares how God saw her, reached down, and pulled her out, and how that remembrance changed the way she sees herself, Him, and others. If you’ve ever felt unseen, overlooked, or weary from trying, this episode offers a gentle reminder: God first remembers us … and His rescue causes us to Live.

What Happened to the Acts?
In a world shaking under economic pressure, shifting systems, and widespread uncertainty, many are searching for answers. But long before our headlines, God established a blueprint for His people — a pattern of unity, fellowship, generosity, prayer, and Spirit-led living we see in the book of Acts.This episode traces how the Holy Spirit first stirred this message on November 29th, then confirmed it through real-world events — including business collapses, marketplace instability, and the rising need for community. What looked like a coincidence was actually God’s timing, revealing that the church’s way forward is not new… it is the way He established from the beginning.Together, we explore:Why the early church grew and multiplied even in times of shakingHow Jesus formed a community that could thrive under pressureWhat Scripture reveals about unity, oneness, and shared lifeWhy God is calling His people back to His original designHow the Spirit is stirring this same pattern todayAnd most importantly, we return to the question that anchors this ministry:What did GOD say about the way His people are to live, grow, and walk together?This episode is both a teaching and a prophetic invitation — calling us back to the life God intended all along. As we rediscover the Acts pattern, we find that God is not only restoring His church… He is preparing His people to rise in the very moments meant to break them.Lean in, listen with your heart, and let Scripture reset the way you see community, unity, and Kingdom living.

In this episode, When God Says “Live,” we explore how Israel’s story becomes our story through Christ Jesus. The same God who rescued, restored, and covered Israel is the God who calls us into new life, new identity, and covenant relationship today. When God says “Live,” everything changes.

What if the sickness we’ve been tolerating… is something Jesus already took?In this powerful episode, we confront the silent agreements many believers make with diagnoses, symptoms, and generational patterns — and we step back into what GOD actually said about healing.Through Scripture, Holy Spirit checkpoints, and a transparent testimony of spiritual re-alignment, we explore why sickness has no legal right to stay and how to re-align our beliefs with the finished work of Christ.This episode is not just information — it’s invitation, re-alignment, and transformation.

What Meeting With God Should Produce
In this episode, we explore what meeting with God is meant to produce in our lives — according to Scripture, not emotion.We look at Christlikeness in everyday life, the visible evidence of transformation, and how the Holy Spirit forms the life of Jesus in us.And as we walk through the Word of God, we also dispel human logic, especially the idea that we grow in one fruit of the Spirit at a time. The Bible shows a better way: the Spirit transforms the whole person as we walk with Him.

What Happens When We Meet With GOD?
In this powerful follow-up to “Gratitude After Thanksgiving,” Teri Garnett explores a life-changing truth: time spent with God was never meant to leave us unchanged.Drawing from Acts 4:13, this episode reveals why the Sanhedrin recognized the boldness, confidence, peace, and authority of Jesus in Peter and John — and how those same qualities become evidence in our own lives when we truly meet with God.Through Scripture, reflection, and Holy-Spirit-led insight, Teri unpacks what it means to exchange our heaviness for His strength, our fear for His peace, and our confusion for His clarity in the secret place.If you’ve ever wondered why some people walk out of prayer with renewed courage and spiritual resilience, while others leave sounding exactly as they did before… this episode brings understanding, encouragement, and a fresh invitation to linger in God’s presence until transformation begins.A gentle, empowering reminder:We should always look a little more like Jesus after meeting with GOD.

The Purpose Behind the Question
Every journey has a beginning… and this one begins with a question that became a compass:But What Did GOD Say?™In this foundational episode, we explore why this question matters, how it shapes our discipleship, and why returning to God’s voice is essential for every believer who desires to walk in truth. I share how the Holy Spirit used this question to steady my heart, re-anchor my faith, and form the very heartbeat of this podcast.You’ll discover how this space has grown into a slow and steady walk through Scripture, a place for quiet “Nicodemus listeners,” and a legacy trail for my children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come — all with one purpose: to help us listen more closely to the God who knows all.We revisit the first question ever recorded in Scripture — “Did God really say?” — and uncover what Eve missed, what the enemy still uses today, and the life-changing clarity that comes when we pause to ask:“But What Did GOD Say?” Order the book: But What Did GOD Say?™ The Book — Understanding God’s Communication But What Did GOD Say?_BookDownload the App: But What Did GOD Say?™ The App But-What-Did-GOD-Say-app Disclaimer:I do not own the rights to the music used in the intro and outro of this content.

Before You Clap Back (A Holy Spirit Pause)
There is a moment — a small, easily missed moment —hidden right between the offense you feel and the words you want to say. Most people rush past it. But the Holy Spirit often speaks inside it. In this episode, Teri explores that sacred sliver of time —The Holy Spirit Pause — the exact moment where God offers wisdom before we offer a reaction. She draws from years of listening to people who were hurt, overlooked, dismissed, or misunderstood, and shows how those same emotional patterns show up in us today. Where does offense begin? Why does it get so loud?And why do we feel the need to “clap back” so quickly?More importantly…what truth is God trying to reveal in that moment, we often ignore? This episode gently guides you into a new awareness —a spiritual sensitivity that can change how we handle conflict, communication, and our own emotions.

What Jesus Did Then is What He Still Does Now
In this episode, we take a fresh look at Acts 10:38 and the beautiful truth that what Jesus did then is what He still does now.We walk through the ways Jesus healed, restored, delivered, taught, forgave, lifted the overlooked, and carried the cross —and we see how He continues those same works through the Holy Spirit today.We pause with Holy-Spirit checkpoints to help us recognize where He is moving personally in our lives,declare the truth of Scripture together,and end with a prayer that invites His ongoing ministry into every heart.This message is a gentle reminder that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus who still works in us today…with the same compassion, the same power, and the same faithful love.

Why Stop at Salvation?
Salvation is a beautiful beginning… but it was never meant to be the end.In this episode, we explore the powerful truth that many believers park at the entrance of faith without ever stepping into the fullness God invites us into.Inspired by the mountain imagery from The Final Quest and anchored in Scripture, we walk through Holy-Spirit Checkpoints — simple, loving markers that help us see where we are on our spiritual journey:Salvation - Sanctification - Strengthening -Maturity - Revelation - Authority - Union with Christ.Each level reveals how the Spirit is already at work in us, drawing us upward into greater freedom, stability, intimacy, and Christlikeness.This is not about pressure or comparison.This is about recognizing God working in our lives…and accepting His invitation to keep climbing and learning.Because we were never meant to stop at the doorway of salvation.We were made to grow, rise, and be transformed into His image —from glory to glory.

When We Finally See Him
In this deep and eye-opening episode of But What Did GOD Say?™, we explore what truly transforms a life: seeing Jesus as He really is. Through the stories of Israel’s wandering and Peter’s awakening, we discover that the difference between cycles that repeat and lives that are changed comes down to one spiritual principle:Transformation requires revelation, and revelation requires surrender.We learn why Israel saw God’s miracles yet remained unchanged, and how one act of surrender in Peter’s weary moment opened the door to life-altering revelation. Most importantly, we lean into Jesus’ promise in John 14:21 — that He will make Himself known to the heart that loves and yields to Him.If you’re longing to grow deeper, see differently, and experience God in a new way… this message will meet you right where you are.

Fortified from the Inside
What does it really mean to be strong?In this episode of But What Did GOD Say?™, we discover that true strength isn’t built on what we can carry — it’s built on Who carries us.Through Ephesians 3:16, we learn that God’s desire is to fortify us from the inside — to strengthen our hearts, renew our minds, and anchor our spirits by His Holy Spirit. When the inner man is strong, no storm, setback, or season can shake what God has built within.Join Teri as she unpacks what it means to know God intimately, learn His ways, and reflect His glory in everyday life.This episode invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and let the Spirit of God rebuild the inner walls of your strength — brick by brick, truth by truth.“You can’t be fortified by a God you only visit; you’re fortified by a God you dwell with.”Stay tuned through the closing prayer, and let the Word settle in your spirit as a reminder that fortification begins not with striving, but with surrender.
