Have you ever felt like God was silent… distant… or even absent? In this Holy Week's episode, Pastor Jeremy tackles one of the most misunderstood statements in Scripture: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Spoken by Jesus on the cross, these words can seem like a cry of abandonment—but what if they actually point to something much deeper? Pastor Jeremy unpacks how Jesus’ words are not a declaration of despair, but a direct reference to Psalm 22—a passage filled with both suffering and victory. What may sound like hopelessness is actually a profound reminder of God’s faithfulness, even in the darkest moments. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, pain, or the feeling that God is far away, this episode will reframe your perspective and give you encouragement!  You’re not alone—and you’ve never been forsaken.

Have you ever wondered what and who did Jesus pray for on the night before he died? In this episode, Pastors Jeremy and Karl dive into the Gospel of John chapter 17 to explore a powerful and personal moment in the life of Christ. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed not only for His disciples, but for all who would believe in Him. Together, Jeremy and Karl unpack how Jesus prayed for His disciples’ protection, joy, and sanctification—and most strikingly, for their unity. What does that unity look like in today’s church? Why does it matter so deeply? And how should Jesus’ prayer shape the way we live, lead, and love one another? Join us as we reflect on the heart of Christ in John 17.

In this special episode of the Cave Spring Church Podcast, host Pastor Jeremy sits down with a very special guest, Kathy McDonald, deaf interpreter at Cave Spring Church. Together, they explore what it truly means to live an Isaiah 6 life — responding to God’s call with the words, “Here am I, Lord. Send me.” In Isaiah’s moment of surrender, he didn’t feel worthy or fully equipped. And neither do we. Yet God calls ordinary people into extraordinary purposes.Kathy shares her powerful testimony of sensing God’s call into deaf ministry — a calling that stretched her faith, challenged her comfort zone, and required deep trust. With honesty and humility, she opens up about feeling inadequate for the task, yet choosing obedience anyway. Her story is a moving reminder that God doesn’t call the qualified — He qualifies the called. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re capable of what God is asking you to do, this conversation will encourage and inspire you to step forward in faith. When we say “yes,” God does the rest.

In this episode of Cave Diving Podcast, we take an honest look at what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Following Him is more than saying a prayer. It’s more than going to church. It’s more than trying to clean up our behavior. Pastor Jeremy challenges us with this truth: “The Christian life is not about behavior modification — it’s about heart transformation.” But transformation has a cost. Are you willing to surrender your comfort?Are you willing to forgive when it hurts?Are you willing to love when it’s inconvenient?Are you willing to obey when it doesn’t make sense? And even deeper… Are you willing to suffer for Jesus?Are you willing to stand firm if your faith costs you friendships, opportunities, or reputation?Would you remain faithful in the face of persecution? The early followers of Christ understood that discipleship required sacrifice. And while our context may look different today, the call is the same: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. In this episode, we unpack what that looks like in everyday Christian life — in our workplaces, in our families, in our thought life, and in the quiet moments where no one else sees.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus — especially when the road gets hard? In this episode of the Cave Diving Podcast, Pastor Jeremy and Karl explore the path Jesus walked on His way to the cross — and what it reveals about our own journey of discipleship. The road wasn’t easy. It was marked by surrender, obedience, suffering, and unwavering trust in the Father. And if we’re honest, the road of following Jesus looks much the same. Together, they unpack how the path to the cross shapes the path of every believer — why faith is essential when clarity is limited, how obedience often precedes understanding, and what it means to trust God in seasons of difficulty. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, discouragement, or the cost of discipleship, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to stay faithful — even when the road is tough. The way of Jesus is not always comfortable… but it always leads to life.
