Show Notes

In this episode of the 10:10 Thrive Podcast, we explore the powerful and deeply personal conversation between Jesus and Nathanael, as recorded in John 1:43-51. Nathanael begins with skepticism, questioning whether anything good can come from Nazareth. Yet when Jesus greets him by recognizing his integrity and revealing supernatural knowledge of his private prayer under the fig tree, Nathanael’s doubt turns into awe and belief. Jesus’ words, “I saw you,” become a turning point—demonstrating that Jesus not only knows about Nathanael but has seen into the very depths of his heart.

The encounter reveals essential truths about Jesus: He sees us intimately before we ever see Him. He invites us personally with a call that transforms our lives. He honors our honest seeking and reveals Himself in ways that affirm our deepest longings. Jesus doesn’t argue with Nathanael’s doubts—He simply invites him to “come and see.” This invitation is still open today, for all who are questioning, searching, or praying in secret places. Jesus meets us not with condemnation, but with insight, grace, and a promise of greater things to come.

The episode includes a reflective song titled Jesus Sees Me, which reinforces the central theme: that we are seen, known, and loved by Jesus in our most vulnerable moments. It concludes with a reminder that Christ is the connection between heaven and earth—the fulfillment of Jacob’s dream and the hope of every honest seeker. Through Jesus, we are called to step out of hiding and into light, to move from skepticism to surrender, and to follow the One who sees and understands us fully.
