Why would ordinary fishermen, tax collectors, and everyday men willingly suffer persecution, torture, and even death for their message? The disciples of Jesus had nothing to gain—no wealth, no power, no prestige. Yet they boldly proclaimed one life-changing truth: Jesus is alive.

In this episode, Steve McLane unpacks:

• The radical transformation of the disciples before and after the resurrection
• Eyewitness testimony straight from Scripture
• Why people don't die for something they know is false
• A modern-day example of missionaries who counted the cost

The resurrection isn’t just history—it’s the foundation of our faith, the courage for our witness, and the hope of our eternal future.

Take time to reflect, pray, and ask God to give you boldness to live as if the resurrection is true—because it is.

In this episode of The Jesus Effect, Steve McLane shares a powerful story about an 83-year-old Sunday school teacher whose quiet faithfulness impacted generations of future pastors. Her life reminds us that obedience, not recognition, is what makes the greatest difference.

Steve challenges us to stop waiting at the “red light” and recognize that God has already given us the “green light” to go and do. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, this episode is a call to step out in faith, love others boldly, and trust Jesus to multiply our small acts of obedience into eternal impact.

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect moment” to share your faith, serve someone in need, or follow God’s prompting—this is your reminder: the time is now.

Serving Jesus is more than going through the motions—it’s a question of the heart. In this episode, Steve McLane takes us back to Joshua’s challenge to Israel: “Choose this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)

From Isaiah’s reminder that lip service is not enough, to Joshua’s call to wholehearted devotion, Steve unpacks what it means to truly serve the Lord in our daily lives. He reflects on the modern “idols” we often cling to—control, comfort, approval—and invites us to lay them down at the feet of Jesus.

With Scripture, personal reflection, and a powerful devotional shared by a faithful listener, this episode challenges us to move beyond outward appearances and embrace a life fully surrendered to Christ. Because serving the Lord isn’t always easy—but it is always worth it.
