The Ben Peyton Podcast

In this powerful episode, Ben Peyton walks through the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11–32, highlighting the heartbreaking reality of walking away from the Father. The pasture always looks greener when we forget how good we have it—and like someone out of their mind, we leave the very home where love and security were always present. “The Insanity of Leaving Home” challenges us to recognize the deceptive pull of independence and the unmatched grace waiting for us when we return. Because leaving may be reckless—but the Father’s welcome is always waiting.

In the final part of this powerful series, Ben Peyton unpacks the ultimate expression of Jesus’ care: the resurrection of Lazarus. Through this undeniable display of divine power, we see that Jesus doesn’t just feel our pain—He overcomes it. “Does Jesus Really Care? – Part 3” reveals that the greatest miracle before Christ’s own resurrection wasn’t just about bringing someone back to life—it was about proving that Jesus is life itself. Because His care is real—and His power is unmatched.

In this episode, Ben Peyton delves into the profound narrative of John 11, where Jesus performs His seventh and most remarkable sign: raising Lazarus from the dead. This miracle not only showcases Jesus' divine authority over life and death but also reveals His deep compassion and perfect timing. Through this powerful event, we see that Jesus cares deeply for us, responding to our pain with empathy and acting in ways that ultimately glorify God. His delay in arriving at Lazarus's tomb wasn't indifference but a deliberate act to demonstrate that God's timing is always perfect and purposeful. Because in our moments of waiting and sorrow, Jesus is present, compassionate, and working for a greater good.

Life is shaped by the choices we make—and some carry eternal weight. In this episode, Ben Peyton reflects on the power and responsibility of decision-making, reminding us that the most important thing we can do is choose wisely. “Choices” challenges listeners to align their decisions with God’s truth, seek His wisdom, and trust that every right choice draws us closer to His purpose. Because the direction of your life is often determined by a single choice.

We all need forgiveness—but real, lasting forgiveness can only come from one source. In this episode, Ben Peyton unpacks the profound truth that while people may struggle to forget, God alone forgives and forgets. “Finding Forgiveness” is a powerful reminder of God’s mercy, grace, and the freedom that comes when we receive His pardon and let go of our past. Because true forgiveness isn’t earned—it’s given by the One who remembers our sins no more.
