Ep. 17 - Is Jesus Impressive—or Is He Lord?

Sep 1, 2026    John Michael Burrow, Nathan Dodd

It’s possible to admire Jesus, know church culture, and even be astonished by what He does—without actually surrendering to Him as Lord.


In this episode of Ordinary Faith, Nathan and Pastor John Michael revisit Mark 6:1–6, where Nazareth’s familiarity with Jesus turns into offense and unbelief. They talk honestly about consumer Christianity, the discomfort of God’s Word, the excuses that keep us from obedience, and how self-sufficiency can shrink our expectations of what God might do.


From family pressures and ministry fatigue to prayer, personal evangelism, and needing more than a verse of the day, this conversation asks: Where is the Holy Spirit creating friction in your life—and what would it look like to trust and obey?


Take your next step with Jesus, allow His Word to grow your faith, and don’t let unbelief keep you from experiencing His work.
