Episode 20

The True and Living Way

Published on: 25th August, 2026

Jesus just watched Judas walk out into the night. Peter's about to be told he'll deny him three times. And in the middle of all that heartbreak, Jesus starts talking about rooms being prepared, a way, a truth, a life. In this episode, Luke and Nathan dig into the culture behind John 14 — ancient Jewish betrothal customs, what "many mansions" actually meant to a first-century bride and groom, why "ask in my name" isn't a blank check, and what it really meant to keep Jesus's commandments. If you've ever heard these verses quoted like a slogan, this episode will help you hear them the way the room first heard them — as the last, tender words of a rabbi who loved his friends to the end.

Profile picture for Luke Petty
I'm a small business owner (really small, like just me!) working as a pool repair specialist. My wife and I have a house FULL of family and we try to keep it running as smoothly as possible.
I have a passion for research and I absolutely love learning more about the Bible, it's history, the people in the stories, the culture and the background. I serve a risen Savior and am completely humbled that He loves me.
I hope to share what I learn to as many people as possible, to help generate the same impact on their lives as the Word has had on mine.
