Stop Telling God How to Solve Your Problems

Oct 23, 2026  •  Justin Pobst, Alex Shafer

Have you ever felt like a situation in your life was truly too far gone for even God to fix? In this episode of Frontline Unfiltered, we dive deep into the story of Lazarus to discover how Jesus reveals His glory in our darkest moments.


Join Pastor Justin and Pastor Alex as they explore the profound connections between the Old and New Testaments, specifically looking at how the miracle of Lazarus fulfills ancient prophecies. This conversation goes beyond the Sunday sermon to uncover hidden gems in the Gospel of John that will strengthen your faith and give you hope in the middle of your own valley of dry bones. We discuss the striking parallels between Jesus' first miracle at a wedding and His climactic sign at a funeral, showing that His glory is present in both our celebrations and our mourning.
