Episode Description: How do we move from knowing about God to actively experiencing Him on a daily basis? In this concluding episode of the week for For Zion's Sake, hosts Shelly and June Volk unpack the deep practical realities of Ephesians chapter 3. Reading from the Amplified version, June highlights how verse 19 is a direct beckoning for believers to step into a daily, tangible encounter with the love of the Messiah—an experience that ignites a spark, creates an unstoppable internal fire, and empowers us to love and forgive where humanly impossible.

June shares a moving personal account of a Jewish cardiologist who noticed a striking, undeniable peace in the way believers face death—a powerful testament to the resurrected life of Jesus working inside His children. Shelly closes the week by constructing a massive scriptural bridge between the Old and New Covenants, proving that the foundation of our faith rests on a God who consistently operates "exceedingly and abundantly." The episode culminates in a beautiful moment of unity as the hosts recite the Shema to honor their Jewish kinsmen.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:


The Ignited Spark: June discusses how experiencing the love of Christ isn't an intellectual exercise; it practically alters your nature, allowing you to become a witness who loves and forgives in the hardest environments.


Dying Differently: A profound anecdote from a cardiologist reveals that the inner presence of the Messiah leaves a visible, unmistakable imprint of peace on a person's life, noticed even by those who don't yet believe.


The Scriptural Bridge: Shelly and June trace the language of abundance (hooper) all the way back to the Old Covenant—highlighting an abundant pardon in Isaiah, an abundance of peace in the Psalms, and an exceeding multiplication in Exodus.


A Call to Unity: To mark the conclusion of the broadcast week on Friday, the Volks explicitly identify with their Jewish kinsmen by reciting the Shema, celebrating that the foundations of the New Covenant are deeply rooted in the Old Testament.
