Listen "Mid Week Nugget with Curtis Hontz"
Episode Synopsis
In this illuminating episode of Between Sundays, hosts O'Bee and Bill take a deep dive into what it truly means to “walk in the light.” Joined by special guest Curtis “The Hammer” Honts, the trio explores this familiar biblical phrase from both Old and New Testament perspectives — tracing the theme of light from Genesis to Revelation.
Through lively conversation, laughter, and thoughtful reflection, they uncover how “walking in the light” represents more than just moral living — it’s about alignment with God’s presence, obedience to His Word, and reflecting Christ’s light in a dark world.
Drawing on passages from Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs, John, Ephesians, and Revelation, this discussion sheds new light (pun intended) on how believers are called not only to receive God’s illumination but to radiate it in everyday life.

Topic setup – Exploring “Walking in the Light” from Sunday’s message and how it connects across Scripture.
Old Testament foundations
Genesis 1:3–4 – God’s first creative act of bringing light out of darkness.
Numbers 6:24–26 – The priestly blessing and the shining presence of God’s favor.
Psalms 119:105 – God’s Word as a lamp and light for the path.
Proverbs 6:23 – The commandments as light and instruction.
New Testament expansion
John 1:4–5 – Jesus as the light of all mankind.
John 3:19–21; 8:12; 12:35–36 – Christ as the light of the world; calling believers to be children of light.
Matthew 5:14–16 – Letting your light shine before others.
Ephesians 5:8–14 – Once darkness, now light in the Lord — walking as children of light.
Practical insights
Light as revelation, righteousness, and relationship with God.
The contrast of light and darkness as default states — without Christ, “we were darkness.”
Walking in the light as a lifestyle of intentional obedience, repentance, and reflection.
Final reflections
God’s light as both transformative and guiding.
Believers are not just illuminated but called to illuminate others.
Closing with Revelation 21 – the eternal light of God’s glory as the culmination of redemption.
Closing moments – Humor, “Hammer” references, and a nod to the “Ministry of Silly Walks.”
Key Takeaway:
From creation to new creation, the call remains the same — to walk in the light of God’s presence, guided by His Word, and reflecting the radiance of Christ into a world still searching for hope.
