His Bro Peter couldn’t help it.

He looked over.
Saw the other guy, The One.
And asked, “What about him?”

And just like that— Peter was off his path.

Jesus didn’t explain.
Didn’t compare.
Didn’t reassure.

Just this:

“What is that to you?
You follow me.”

In this episode, we sit with how quickly we drift into comparison—
and how gently the Real JC brings us back.

Because the call isn’t to understand everyone else’s story.

It’s to walk your own.

Happy Easter.
The New JC has risen.
Happy egg hunting, and all that!

And hey, don’t feel too guilty about having ham for lunch.
Remember, His Bro Peter’s vision-- its all good now.

Anyway, it’s hard to believe it, yo,
but we made it through Lent, bro.
One Lectio per-day is amazing. 47 episodes…

Wow, mind blown.

Thank you so very much for joining me, Dude Jesus,
your mystica sherpa, on this journey.

So I’ve been sitting with where this Lectio Bro thing should be going…

We didn’t run with the Lectionary, dude—
you know, different readings, different days—
and I kinda picked my own path,
and that’s been good.

But I keep feeling like we’re just skimming the surface.

Like… what would it look like to actually stay somewhere?
To sit in it. Let it breathe.

So that’s where we’re heading.

We’re gonna take a book—the Gospel of John—
and just walk through it.
Slow. Bite-sized. Day by day.

Not trying to master it.
Just trying to live in it.

I’m gonna take about a week off,
reset a bit,
And we’ll kick things off Sunday, April 12.

I’ve also got this idea I want to explore—
Ya know, those moments when Scripture hits
and echoes into real life… music, conversations,
stuff you can’t shake.

Those might get more mentions in the John session, yo.
We’ll see where that goes.

So yeah… less jumping around. More staying put. More depth.

Thanks for being in this with me.

Until next time, stay open, stay curious,
and keep rolling in the flow of Ya(h).

Later, bro.

Sometimes we think we’d recognize Jesus if He showed up.

But Mary didn’t.

Not at first.

Grief blurred everything—until one moment changed it.

He called her by name.

In this episode, we sit with the reality that Jesus may be closer than we realize—and that recognition often begins not with seeing, but with being known.

Because clarity doesn’t always come through your eyes.

Sometimes it comes
when you hear your name.

Some pain is private.

But some of it?

It’s visible.

Exposed.
Hard to hide.

Jesus carried His cross in the open—placed in the middle, seen by everyone.

And He didn’t turn away.

In this episode, we sit with what it means to carry what’s heavy—even when it’s visible—and trust that we’re not alone in it.

Because the road you’re walking
is one He already stepped into.

We often think of God’s love as something we move toward—closer over time, stronger if we do it right.

But Jesus says something completely different.

You are loved the same way
the Father loves Him.

And not just loved from a distance—

brought into that love.

In this episode, we sit with the reality that we’re not on the outside trying to get in—we’re already included in the life and love of God.

Because you don’t climb your way into this.

You wake up to the fact
that you’re already there.

Living in this world can feel like a constant pull—pressure to fit in, to blend, to become what surrounds you.

But Jesus names something deeper.

You’re in it—
but not of it.

In this episode, we sit with the tension of living here while staying grounded in something greater.

Because you’re not here to blend in.

You’re here—
held, guarded, and sent.

We tend to think faith is about knowing more—more truth, more answers, more understanding.

But Jesus defines it differently.

Real life… is knowing Ya(h).

Not knowing about—
knowing.

In this episode, we sit with that shift—from information to relationship, from distance to presence.

Because eternal life
isn’t something you wait for.

It’s something you live—right now.

We’re used to earning our place.

Fixing ourselves.
Getting it together first.

But Jesus flips that.

He kneels—and Peter resists.

Because receiving care feels more vulnerable than giving it.

And then Jesus says something that cuts through everything:

“If I don’t wash you, you’re not with me.”

In this episode, we sit with the tension of letting go of control and allowing Jesus to come close enough to actually change us.

Because you don’t clean yourself up
to come to the table.

You come to the table—and let Him do it.

What do you do when you know something hard is in front of you…
and part of you just wants out?

Jesus feels that tension too.
He names it.

But he doesn’t run from it—
he steps into it.

And then he says something that hits:
walk in the light while you have it.

Not later.
Not when it’s clearer.

Now.

Because the truth is…
you don’t need full clarity to take a faithful step.

What do you do when it feels like everything is closing in?

Not just busy or stressed—
but overwhelmed, like you’re about to break?

Psalm 22 goes straight into that space.
No pretending. No polishing it up.

Just raw honesty—
and a simple cry:
“Ya(h), come close.”

Not because everything makes sense—
but because the connection is still there.

And the truth is…
even in the pressure, you are not alone.

What do you do when Ya(h) feels far…
and the silence doesn’t break?

Psalm 22 starts right there—no filter, no quick answers.
Just raw honesty.

But underneath the ache,
there’s memory.
A quiet knowing of who Ya(h) has been.

Not enough to fix it—
but enough to stay.

And the truth is…
you can feel the distance and still be held.

What if the hard part of your life right now…
isn’t a mistake?

What if it’s the training?

Hebrews calls it straight—you’re in a race.
And a lot of us are trying to run while carrying stuff that’s tripping us up.

The invitation isn’t to push harder.
It’s to drop the weight…
fix your eyes…
and keep moving.

Because the resistance you feel
isn’t Ya(h) pushing you away.

And the truth is…
you’re being shaped in the middle of it.

This passage is quiet—but heavy.

No defense.
No resistance.
Just suffering… and silence.

And somehow—
that’s where life breaks through.

Isaiah shows us not a distant Savior, but one who steps into the weight, carries what isn’t His, and stands with the broken.

In this episode, we sit with that tension—and the invitation to stop carrying what you were never meant to hold alone.

Because the one who bore it all
is still with you in it.

We all carry things—guilt, regret, the weight of going our own way.

But Isaiah flips the whole story.

The suffering we thought was his…
was actually ours being carried.

And the one we thought was being punished?

Was bringing us peace.

In this episode, we sit with that tension—and the invitation to finally release what we were never meant to hold.

Because the weight that brings peace
didn’t land on you.

It landed on him.

What if the things you’re most proud of… are actually getting in the way?

Paul says everything he used to count as a win is now “junk” compared to knowing the Real JC.

Not bad—
just not Him.

In this episode, we sit in that tension—letting go of the old identity, releasing what once defined you, and pressing forward into something better.

Because you can’t grab what’s ahead
if you’re still holding onto what’s behind.

And the life Ya(h) is calling you into?

It’s still in front of you.

What do you do when it already feels over?

Lazarus is gone. Four days gone.
Martha’s carrying grief—and that quiet “if only…”

And that’s when the Real JC shows up.

Not with explanations.
Not with timing that makes sense.

With a question:
“Do you believe this?”

And a claim:
“I am the resurrection and the life.”

In this episode, we sit in that tension—between what feels final and what Ya(h) is still doing. Because peace, hope, and life aren’t just future promises…

They’re standing right in front of you.

The Real JC rolls up on Jerusalem…
and just breaks down.

Not mad.
Not frustrated.
Grieving.

“If you only knew what leads to peace…”

But they couldn’t see it.
Ya(h) was right there—
and they missed it.

So here’s the question, bro:
Where might you be missing it?
Where is peace already near—
but you’re too distracted, too locked in, too busy to notice?

Because the danger isn’t always rebellion—
sometimes it’s blindness.

Today we’re in Bethany—dinner’s on, Lazarus is alive, and Mary just goes for it.
No hesitation. No half-measures.
She pours out the expensive stuff—right at the Real JC’s feet.

And Judas?
“Waste,” he says.

But JC shuts it down.
“Let her be.”
Because what looks like waste to the world
might be straight-up worship.

So here’s the question, bro:
Where are you holding back?
Where does loving Ya(h) feel “too much”… or not practical?

Bring that tension—logic vs. love—into the open.

Because sometimes the most irrational move
is the most real one.

The Real JC walks into the temple… and just starts flipping tables.
Coins flying. Animals everywhere. Total chaos.

Why?
Because what was supposed to be about Ya(h)
turned into a hustle.

“My house is for prayer,” he says.
Not business. Not noise. Not distraction.

And here’s the twist—
once the mess is cleared?
The blind and the broken come forward.
And healing starts happening.

Meanwhile, the religious crowd is mad.
But the kids?
They get it. They’re praising.

So here’s the question, bro:
What needs flipping in your life?
What’s crowding out what actually matters?

Because sometimes you don’t need more—
you need to clear the room.
