Episode Synopsis

In this powerful episode of Deep Dive, D and Pastor Smith explore the profound difference between being "convinced by the truth" and having true conviction that transforms your life. Building on Sunday's message from John 16:8-11, they dive deep into why even the disciples - who walked with Jesus daily - still struggled with doubt and questioning.The conversation reveals three types of people when it comes to walking in God's power: those who are ignorant (lacking knowledge), those who think too highly of themselves, and those who think too little of themselves due to guilt and shame. The key breakthrough comes in understanding that "I am nothing, but I am something in Christ" - a balance that prevents both pride and self-condemnation.Pastor Smith and D discuss the critical difference between being faithful (walking without knowing the outcome) versus being grateful (walking after seeing the results), and how this impacts our witness. They explore Acts 1:6-8, emphasizing that true power comes when the Holy Spirit transforms us into witnesses - not just in our comfort zones, but from "Jerusalem to the uttermost parts of the earth."The episode tackles the responsibility that comes with spiritual power, why many Christians avoid it, and how to be effective witnesses by meeting people where they are - some need conviction, others need encouragement. Drawing from stories of Jonah, the woman at the well, and the woman caught in adultery, they demonstrate how Jesus modeled perfect witnessing.A standout moment comes when they discuss moving from "first person" to "third person" faith - getting out of God's way and letting Him work through you. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder that your witness should be so strong that it doesn't matter where God takes you - your transformed life speaks louder than words.This episode is essential listening for anyone wanting to move beyond surface-level faith into the kind of conviction that changes not just your life, but impacts everyone around you.
