Ep 1256 | Mia Gives Jase a Family Wake-Up Call & a Much Needed Reality Check

January 27, 2026·53 min·4 clips
Jase discovers his dog refused to go outside in 26-degree weather, leaving 'Tootsie Roll logs' on the floor.
Jase Robertson shares a personal story about his wife being out of town and his daughter bringing a large group of friends home for a retreat. He describes the chaos left behind, including a messy living area and a dog that defecated indoors due to the cold weather. Jase uses this anecdote to introduce a spiritual discussion about living in the light, referencing 1 John and the concept of not bringing "darkness" into one's life. The conversation shifts to a study of Hebrews, focusing on Jesus as a mediator and the radiance of God's glory. Zach Robertson explains the Trinity, distinguishing between God as one being and three persons—Father, Son, and Spirit. He connects this to the idea of divine love requiring a relationship between a lover, the loved, and the love itself. The hosts cite C.S. Lewis's conversion, noting how he was encouraged to rest in the story of Christianity rather than over-intellectualize it. They read from Hebrews 1:3, highlighting unique Greek words for "being" and "confidence" that appear later in the epistle. Jase links the confidence to approach God's throne in Hebrews 4:16 to the confidence believers can have on the day of judgment from 1 John 4:17. The episode has a conversational and instructional tone, blending personal storytelling with theological study. Listeners who enjoy practical life applications of scripture and deep dives into New Testament books will appreciate this episode. Those seeking purely entertainment-focused content or non-religious topics might skip it.

As heard by us

Family noise gives way to plainspoken talk about mediation, with First John still at the center.

A full house and a First John study set the tone here, with family traffic coming and going around the edges. The conversation keeps losing its footing for a moment, then finding it again, and that slight mess suits it.
