Daybreak Devotionals · Jordan Hansing

Season 3 Ep.102 Don’t Ask If You Won’t Listen

April 12, 2026·2 min
Jordan Hanson opens Daybreak Devotionals by describing the relatable frustration of offering an opinion or advice only to have the other person ignore it or argue against it. He notes that this behavior often signals that the person does not truly want to change — they want to appear open while remaining in their current patterns. He applies this dynamic directly to religious seeking, arguing that some people search scripture looking for validation rather than truth. Hanson then quotes John 5:39-40, where Jesus addresses the Pharisees: they search the scriptures believing those texts will give them eternal life, but the scriptures themselves point to Jesus, and they still refuse to come to him. Hanson interprets this as confirmation that the search can be performative — people want to look like they are looking, but when the answer is in front of them, they reject it. He argues that God's word contains all necessary answers, all centered on Jesus. The episode closes with a gentle but direct call: accept Jesus as Lord today, and the answers to life's questions will follow. Hanson ends with a brief summary phrase — God is not the problem, he is the answer — and thanks listeners before teasing the next episode.
