Welcome to the first of a new series of short episodes, focused on practical ways we can find hope in Jesus Christ and strengthen our faith in him.

This episode explores the life of John the Baptist, a prophet who dedicated everything to preparing the way for Jesus Christ. From his miraculous birth to his bold ministry, John fearlessly called people to repentance, unwavering in his testimony of the Savior.

And yet, even this great prophet faced moments of uncertainty—imprisoned, alone, and questioning whether Jesus was truly the One he had proclaimed. We’ll journey through the faith of Zechariah and Elizabeth, the power of John’s witness, and the harsh realities he faced for defending truth. We’ll also examine Christ’s profound response when John, in prison, sent his disciples to ask: “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” (Matthew 11:3).

Jesus’ answer reveals deep lessons about faith, trust, and the way God works—often differently than we expect. But John’s story is more than just a tale of triumph and tragedy—it’s a reminder that even the greatest believers can experience doubt, suffering, and unfulfilled expectations. His life and ultimate martyrdom testify of a greater truth: that our hope is not in this life alone, but in the eternal promises of Jesus Christ.

This episode brings the scriptures to life, helping us slow down and connect with the real struggles, sacrifices, and faith of John the Baptist. Using insights from the Bible, The Chosen, and the Doctrine and Covenants, we’ll explore how to trust in God even when life doesn’t turn out the way we hoped.
