What happens when Jesus is close by?

In this week’s Don’t Miss This, Dave and Grace finish their study of Isaiah with some of his most hopeful promises. Through Isaiah 58, 61, and 65, we see a picture of the Savior’s work: binding up the brokenhearted, setting captives free, bringing beauty from ashes, repairing what is broken, and creating something new.

We’ll talk about what it means to become a “repairer” and a “restorer,” how serving others can bring more of Jesus into our own lives, and why the ministry of the Messiah isn’t just something we read about—it’s something we’re invited to participate in.

Because when Jesus is close by, impossible things can happen.

Study with us as we discover what it looks like to live out the ministry of the Messiah and become part of the healing work of Jesus Christ.

What does Isaiah teach us about who Jesus really is?

This week on Don’t Miss This, we study Isaiah 50–57 and some of the most powerful prophecies of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. Isaiah 53 introduces us to a Savior who was “a man of sorrows,” who carried our grief, bore our pain, and was wounded so that we could be healed.

We’ll talk about trusting God when we can’t see the way forward, recognizing His mercy in our own stories, and what it means that His invitation truly is for everyone.

When we understand what Jesus has done for us, the good news becomes something we can’t help but share.

Grab your scriptures and join us as we discover the Jesus Isaiah wanted the whole world to know.

NOW I SEE GOD by Grace Freeman Smith & David Butler

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study the book of Esther, one of the Bible's most remarkable stories of courage, faith, and redemption. Although God's name is never mentioned in the book, His hand can be seen on every page as He quietly prepares people and circumstances to bring about deliverance. Esther reminds us that even when the Lord seems absent, He is still writing a story of hope.

As Queen Vashti, Mordecai, and Esther each make courageous choices, the discussion explores how God often works through ordinary people who are willing to trust Him. From unexpected opportunities to faithful friendships and timely acts of courage, every moment reveals that the Lord is present in ways we may only recognize when we look back. The story invites us to reflect on where we have already seen God's hand in our own lives.

The episode also highlights Mordecai's famous reminder that Esther may have come "for such a time as this," encouraging us to trust that God has been preparing us long before we realize what lies ahead. Rather than calling only a few people to great acts of service, the Lord invites each of us to participate in quiet rescues, strengthening and lifting those He has placed in our path.

Above all, the story of Esther points to Jesus Christ, whose redeeming power turns mourning into joy and fear into hope. Just as the decree of death was reversed and became a day of celebration, the gospel promises that every sorrow can one day be transformed. Because of Christ, our story is never finished on its hardest day. The Lord is still at work, leading us toward the good day He has prepared.

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Ezra and Nehemiah, following Israel's return from exile as they begin the long work of rebuilding Jerusalem, the temple, and their covenant relationship with God. These chapters remind us that every story of faith includes moments of starting again, and that the Lord is always ready to welcome His people home.

As the people lay the temple's foundation, face opposition, and press forward despite discouragement, they discover that rebuilding rarely happens all at once. Faith grows one step at a time through small, consistent acts of devotion, even when progress feels slow. Again and again, scripture reminds us that the good hand of God is upon His people, strengthening them as they continue the work He has called them to do.

This episode also highlights the role of prophets in times of rebuilding. Through the words of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah, we see that God's servants encourage, strengthen, and remind His people of who they truly are. Rather than being defined by past mistakes, the Lord invites us to accept His new decree over our lives and move forward with faith, courage, and joy.

Above all, Ezra and Nehemiah testify that rebuilding is not a story of shame but of hope. The joy of the Lord becomes our strength as we remember His goodness, recognize His hand in our lives, and choose once again to walk with Him. No matter where we begin, His gracious hand is always reaching out, inviting us to build something beautiful with Him.

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study 2 Chronicles 14-20; 26; 30, discovering what some of the greatest prayers in scripture teach us about the heart of God. Through the lives of Asa, Jehoshaphat, and Hezekiah, we see leaders who faced impossible situations yet continually turned to the Lord, trusting that His power was greater than any obstacle before them.

As armies gathered, kingdoms were threatened, and fear surrounded them, these faithful kings chose prayer before panic. Whether facing overwhelming odds, uncertain futures, or desperate personal trials, they sought the Lord with humble hearts, believing that God hears every cry and remains faithful to His promises. Their stories remind us that prayer is not a last resort but the first place we can turn when we don't know what to do.

This episode also explores what it means to fix our eyes on God instead of our fears. Rather than counting reasons to give up, these kings remembered who God is and what He had already done for His people. As they trusted Him, the Lord answered with guidance, protection, peace, and unexpected miracles, showing that His graciousness reaches every sincere soul who calls upon Him.

Above all, these chapters offer hope for anyone who has ever wondered if heaven is listening. The same God who heard the prayers of ancient kings still hears ours today. He sees every tear, knows every burden, and invites us to bring every fear before Him. No prayer offered in faith goes unnoticed, because our God is gracious, merciful, and always ready to hear His children.

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study 2 Kings 16–25, following the final years of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. As one kingdom falls and another struggles to survive, these chapters reveal that the greatest danger was never the nations surrounding them, but the slow drift of hearts turning away from God. Even in seasons of decline, the Lord continued to invite His people to return, reminding us that repentance is always an invitation to come home.

Through the faithful examples of Hezekiah and Josiah, we see what it looks like to seek God with a whole heart. They opened the doors of the temple, restored true worship, gathered the people, rediscovered the scriptures, and removed anything that drew hearts away from the Lord. Their stories remind us that spiritual renewal often begins with small, intentional choices to place God first, trust His voice, and create room for His presence in our lives.

This episode also explores the voices we choose to listen to. While the enemy filled God's people with fear, doubt, and discouragement, the scriptures continually pointed them back to truth, hope, and covenant promises. Whether through worship, scripture study, generosity, or quiet acts of repentance, every step toward God helped retune hearts that had slowly drifted out of harmony. The Lord never stopped inviting His people to return, no matter how far they had wandered.

Although these chapters record the fall of kingdoms and the sorrow of exile, they end with a quiet reminder that God is never finished with His people. Even after loss and captivity, He continued preparing the way for restoration. The same promise is true today. No matter where our story has taken us, the Lord continues to call us back, restore what has been broken, and remind us that with Him, our story is never over.

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study 2 Kings 2–7 and discover that the God who worked miracles through Elijah is the same God who continues to work through Elisha. As one prophet passes the mantle to another, these chapters remind us that God's power has never been limited to one person or one generation. He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever, still healing, providing, rescuing, and strengthening His children.

From the healing of the waters at Jericho to the widow's overflowing oil, each miracle points beyond Elisha and toward the heart of God. Whether providing more than enough for a grieving family, reminding us that repentance brings lasting healing, or showing that His blessings often exceed our expectations, these stories reveal a Savior whose grace is abundant. God is not interested in merely helping us survive. He delights in restoring, multiplying, and making us whole.

The story of Naaman teaches that God's greatest miracles often come through simple acts of faith. Though Naaman expected a dramatic solution, healing came through humble obedience as he washed in the Jordan River. These chapters invite us to trust that God is patient with our growth, willing to work with us through every attempt, every setback, and every step toward becoming completely clean. His purpose is not partial healing, but complete restoration.

The episode concludes by showing that no concern is too great or too small for the Lord. Whether raising a child back to life, helping someone recover a borrowed axe head, or answering the quiet prayers of everyday disciples, God cares deeply about every part of our story. Together, these chapters testify that the same God who performed miracles in the Old Testament still works in our lives today, inviting us to trust Him, seek His Spirit, and believe that His power is never exhausted.

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study 1 Kings 12-13; 17-22 and explore the divided kingdom of Israel, the ministry of Elijah, and the many ways God shows up in our lives. Through stories of kings, prophets, miracles, and personal struggles, these chapters remind us that faith is not about choosing the easiest path, but about trusting God enough to keep moving forward even when we cannot see the outcome.

As the kingdom divides under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, the discussion highlights the danger of choosing convenience over covenant commitment. The temptation to make discipleship easier often comes at the cost of sacrifice, growth, and devotion. Dave and Grace reflect on how spiritual strength is built through consistent faithfulness, reminding us that some of the deepest blessings come not from avoiding difficulty, but from remaining dedicated when the journey requires effort.

The heart of the episode follows Elijah’s remarkable experiences during a time of drought and uncertainty. Whether being fed by ravens, helping a widow whose oil never fails, or witnessing God’s power on Mount Carmel, Elijah learns again and again that the Lord provides exactly what is needed. These stories invite us to get off the bench and step into faith, trusting that God can work through unlikely circumstances, unexpected people, and miracles that often begin with simple acts of obedience.

The episode concludes with Elijah’s moments of exhaustion, discouragement, and renewal. Under a juniper tree and later on a mountain, he discovers that God does not always appear through dramatic displays of power. Sometimes He comes through a meal, a moment of rest, a small cloud on the horizon, or a still small voice. Together, these chapters testify of a God who is both powerful and personal, who keeps His promises, strengthens His people, and remains present through every season of the journey.
