When Jesus Crossed My Path | Pastor Brandon Beals | Venture Church

About this episode

Pastor Brandon shares a personal story about choosing to follow Jesus, using the story of Bartimaeus to illustrate the transformative power of faith.

This Easter, instead of simply retelling the resurrection story, Pastor Brandon shares something personal—why he chose to follow Jesus. Through the story of Bartimaeus, a blind beggar who encountered Jesus, we see a powerful picture of what happens when Jesus crosses our path. Life that once felt meaningless suddenly has purpose. Questions begin to find answers. Darkness turns to light. No matter your background, your doubts, or your past—this message is a reminder that you are not here by accident. This could be your moment.
