The Way of Light

by Zachary Dyck

Religion

How might your life look different today if light were no longer to exist? No more lamps, flashlights, fire, or even the sun. Your whole world would be turned upside down. In fact, why stop there? Life as we know it would cease to exist. So why is it that we choose to live so much of our lives in the dark? We tend to feel safer when we’re not exposed: and yet, the very brokenness we aim to hide grows infinitely more dangerous in the dark. You don’t have to hide anymore. Choose the path worth taking and journey with me as we walk in the Way of Light. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onthewol/support

  1. #24 | Words with friends | Levi Hinshaw

    Do you have a friend that you can be honest with about anything? Someone to pray with and encourage you when it's hard? Someone to celebrate, laugh and be yourself with? Someone to kick you in the butt when you are being dumb? I do. His name is Levi. How can you seek and find strong friendship in...

    Stay tuned for a short but personally significant update on the WOL. The last in the P.E. series. Where Evangelism is first and foremost about sharing the gospel, the good news of Jesus to unbelievers, we all need to start somewhere. Here are some practical ways to lead regular everyday...

  3. #22 | I don't know what to do | prayer

    A lamp unto our feet brings clarity to immediate steps. A light on our path brings clarity for the future. The word of God does both (Psalm 119:105). And if scripture does not address your situation, let everything that you do, be for the glory of God.This will be the last prayer episode for a...

  4. #21 | How to not suck at evangelism | P.E. Part 3

    Practical Evangelism - It's important to practice as a follower of Jesus. It's also important to understand how to not suck at it. There are two primary ways you could suck at evangelism: 1. When you never try. 2. When your knowledge supersedes your love. So how to we grow? Prayer | Care | Share...

  5. #20 | Love > Knowledge | prayer

    As we learn to talk with others about our faith, it is essential to let the love of Christ be on the forefront of our minds. 1 Corinthians 13 makes it very clear that we may possess all knowledge... but without love, we have nothing. *Audio recording is off on this one FYI.

  6. #19 | Talking with Strangers about Jesus | P.E. Part 2

    Practical Evangelism (P.E.) What even is, "evangelism" anyway? - STORY TIME - Well, evangelism is NOT placing an invite card to your church in the checkout aisle of your local Walmart and calling it a day. Are you living out what God created you for? Or have you let fear and insecurity prevent…

  8. #17 | Making it Personal | Practical Evangelism (P.E.) Pt. 1

    When it comes to God's grace, you must learn to receive it before you can share it with integrity. After receiving God's grace, we are tasked with resounding it in the world around us.

  9. #16 | May you EXPERIENCE the love of Christ | prayer

    While praying these words, I was met with a truly sincere burden for you. Though I may not know you, our Father does. He knows what you need. My deep desire for you is a mirror of Paul's for Ephesus: That you may experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.

  10. #15 | Who am I becoming? | With Emily Ordonez

    From the power of words and identity, to pursuing counterfit light through Netflix binges and masterbation. This conversation goes deep and may just inspire you to modify the way you following Jesus.Emily Ordonez, sets a new standard for me on what it can look like to lead a transparent life. In...

  11. #14 | Remember what the LORD has done | prayer

    When it's hard to be grateful for things of today, remember the past and give God his due praise. David's prayer of desperation and transparency might just be what leads us to turn a corner. Check out these 3 primary parts to his song and prayer in Psalm 77. 1. Cry out to God in desperation 2....

  12. #13 | Dead or Dormant? - Lessons from a cricket

    Being in and admiring nature has always been a simple way for me to connect with God. This time however, caught me off guard. A lesson I didn't see coming, from a creature I naturally despise. Verses referenced/implied: Ephesians 1:5 Ephesians 1:3 Ephesians 2:10 Hebrews 4:16 1 Peter 2:9 Psalm…

  13. #12 | When you don't want to pray | prayer

    Maybe it's just me, but mental and spiritual "funks" take place on a semi-regular basis. What can we do when we just don't feel like praying? Follow Davids example in Psalm 143.

  14. #11 | What triggered this depression

    I was certain God messed up making me and feared the thought of people knowing the depths of my emotional brokenness. Vulnerability and transparency are essential to living life in the light. If you are carrying a weight that leaves you feeling alone, you're not. This one is personal. If I can...

  15. #10 | Why should I lift my hands? | prayer

    Why do Christians raise their hands during worship? Should it only happen when the music is on, or is it a posture we should be more accustomed too? Embrace this uncomfortable way to pray and make it a habit.

  16. #9 | Brother Fails and Losing Faith | Interview with Breezy Dyck Pt. 2

    Tune in to the last of this two part interview with my sister, who has come to believe significantly different things then what we were taught.

  17. #8 | Psalm 23 - Don't miss this | prayer

    Take a few moments and allow the Lord to be in his rightful place as your shepherd. Acknowledge your own position as a sheep. You are not in control. Find rest when you release it to him. Pray simply through Psalm 23.

  18. #7 | Finding Common Ground | Interview with Breezy Dyck Pt. 1

    This interview is one that is meant to allow public exposure of my legalistic, self righteous and blindly arrogant past and unfortunately current tendencies. Our first guest to interview on the WOL is significant for many reasons. The top reason is the privilege I have to call her my sister.…

  19. #6 | RUN from robotic | prayer

    Have you ever found yourself driving somewhere on autopilot? After being on the road for a while, you don't remember what road you took to get to where you are. It is scary to think that sometimes we can mindlessly drive around in a 4,000 lb heap of metal without considering where we are going....

  20. #5 | Yep. Still blind.

    *NOTE* | JULY 2026: Life looks different since this episode was originally posted in January 2024.

  22. #3 | Am I blind?

    There are dark corners in the heart of every human. Are you aware of yours? Jesus often criticized the Pharisees and "Religious" leaders of his day for holding a flawed perspective of Gods intent for them. They were convinced like many of us today that they could see quite clearly the things of...

  23. #2 | Fresh Start | prayer

    "Good" & "Busy" have become the two primary responses among Americans in response to, "How are you doing?". These responses have become so normalized that we don't consider the repercussions of our busy lives. Slow down and take a moment in prayer today through Psalm 51. Invite God to shine light...
