What to Do When You Can't Sleep

Jesus doesn’t discard the Old Testament—He fulfills it. Jeff walks us through Matthew chapters 3 and 4, explaining how Jesus intentionally retraces the story of Israel. From the Jordan River—the lowest place on earth—to the wilderness of testing, the Gospel of Matthew reveals an incredible pattern: Jesus relives the Exodus, succeeds where Israel failed, and fulfills the promises of the Old Testament.

How Jesus Completes the Old Testament

What if the Gospel of Matthew is quietly connecting dots you’ve never noticed before? Jeff explains how the Gospel of Matthew masterfully recapitulates Israel’s story and reveals that Jesus is the fulfillment of all of God's promises and the prophecies of the Old Testament.

How Matthew Connects the Old Testament Dots

Far from being filler, Matthew’s opening genealogy is rich with meaning. Jeff explains how the genealogy is carefully structured around God’s covenant promises, why the numbers in the list matter, and how it signals a new beginning in Jesus Christ.

When the Turkey Is Gone — The Leftovers

Growing in faith is difficult in our fast-paced, distraction-heavy lives. Jeff Cavins slows things down to help us focus on prayer and Jesus. 

Snippet from the Show

“The pace of a disciple is not hurried. As we look at the saints, we see people who spent a lot of time with Jesus.”

Ways We Can Slow Down Our Lives

 • Prayer

 • Read the Bible and learn about the Story of Salvation

 • Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church

 • Take some time to relax and sit in the presence of the Lord
