  • Best Bible podcast!

    I’ve listened to every single episode in 2025 and my relationship with Jesus has never been stronger. Emma, her guests, and the other guest hosts breakdown every passage with clear exegesis and application. Join the Journey is legit!

  • Join The Journey- THANK YOU Watermark Community Church!

    Watermark Staff and church family: I am not a member but I have listened to YOTW podcast since Sept 8th when you all were in Amos. One of your members told me about this and the app.

    I was attending one of your ministries on Monday nights that while it was hard I became a Christian on Oct. 30th. Thank you for making this available for even those of us that aren’t members.

  • I found a friend who keeps me engaged with awe about the Word!

    I have been praying for so long that I would find a friend I could learn about the Bible with, ask questions to, and get insightful answers from - daily! I thank God I found Emma and this podcast! No, I cannot personally ask Emma the questions, but she sure is asking them on my behalf! The “prompts” given to the guests in the Podcast are questions I’ve had for years; and the answers Emma or the guests give, have brought me to new revelation knowledge of God’s Word.

  • So helpful!

    I love listening to the podcast daily (except Sundays) and appreciate the insight provided in each episode. Emma is an amazing host & I love getting to hear from so many different people in our body who join as guests. I especially loved Wes Butler’s takeover with the Care Team ministries & other themed guests like the worship team & Watermark Health.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S5:014 Acts 7:54-8:3 – The first Christian martyr
Q: How should believers think about martyrdom today in light of scripture?
Martyrdom is something to be expected but not something to chase after; there is a proper fear, yet the eternal perspective and the reality that Christians are citizens of God's kingdom help believers endure and stand firm.
S5:014 Acts 7:54-8:3 – The first Christian martyr
Q: What do the scriptures actually say about martyrdom?
The scriptures show that opposition to the faith has been a constant through history, with martyrdom framed as ensuring a faithful witness rather than a call to seek persecution, and baptism is highlighted as a costly public profession of faith.
S5:012 Acts 6:8-15 – The persecution of the Church
Q: What encouragement would you offer to someone feeling called to overseas ministry?
Seek experienced mentors and established teams already working with lost people groups; join and learn from what they are doing, then step in with them to continue spreading the gospel.
S5:012 Acts 6:8-15 – The persecution of the Church
Q: What might courageous faith look like for listeners in Dallas or elsewhere?
Courage means expecting and embracing moments of opposition with a readiness to stand for the gospel, trusting that Jesus is worth facing cost and that persecution can become an opportunity to witness.
S5:012 Acts 6:8-15 – The persecution of the Church
Q: Define courage.
Courage is living with eternity in mind, choosing obedience to Jesus even in the face of persecution or suffering, and being ready to count the cost while focusing on the gospel's advance.
