The Stoplight Test: Did You Just Drive Past Jesus?

In this episode of Truth Unveiled, I explore how ordinary moments—something as simple as stopping at a red light—can become divine appointments where our faith and compassion are put to the test. I challenge the question many of us rarely stop to ask: Did I just drive past Jesus? Through the contrasting stories of Mark and Sarah, I illustrate how our responses to someone in need often reveal the true depth of our walk with Christ. These moments are not interruptions to our day; they are invitations to live out mercy, kindness, and obedience to God’s call.

To help translate conviction into action, I introduce the STOP model, a practical framework designed to guide believers in responding with compassion in real time. I also address common objections, anchor the conversation in Scripture, and connect this teaching back to Episode 25, “Your Mind Is Under Attack,” where I unpacked how distraction erodes spiritual awareness. Together, these episodes remind us that guarding our attention and choosing compassion are inseparable parts of faithful living. If you’re ready to recognize everyday encounters as opportunities to serve Jesus Himself, this message will both challenge and equip you.
