10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who predicted the grace that would come to you searched and investigated carefully. 11 They probed into what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified beforehand about the sufferings appointed for Christ and his subsequent glory. 12 They were shown that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things now announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things angels long to catch a glimpse of.13 Therefore, get your minds ready for action by being fully sober, and set your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14 Like obedient children, do not comply with the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance, 15 but, like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all of your conduct, 16 for it is written, “You shall be holy, because I am holy.” 17 And if you address as Father the one who impartially judges according to each one’s work, live out the time of your temporary residence here in reverence. 18 You know that from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors you were ransomed—not by perishable things like silver or gold, 19 but by precious blood like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you now trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.22 You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere mutual love. So love one another earnestly from a pure heart. 23 You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God. 24 Forall flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of the grass; the grass withers and the flower falls off,25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.And this is the word that was proclaimed to you.

The JOEL 2 GENERATION PODCAST, hosted by DJ (David John), exists for those with a deep, personal hunger for the presence of God, a commitment to His unchanging Word, and a focus on advancing His Kingdom. This isn't about casual religious discussion; it's built on the conviction that a complete Apostolic faith was once delivered to the Church, as referenced in Jude. The core of this podcast is contending for that specific, foundational faith-teaching it, guarding it, and understanding its demands in our current era. DJ explores what it means to be part of the 'Joel 2 Generation' God is summoning now: a faithful and obedient remnant who refuse to settle for spiritual complacency. Listeners will hear a call to pursue everything God intends to release in this unique moment in history. It’s for those who feel a stirring for more than tradition, who desire a faith that is both ancient and urgently contemporary. Each episode delves into scripture and Spirit-led perspective, challenging believers to move beyond surface-level Christianity into a life fully aligned with God's will. The conversation here is direct, rooted in biblical authority, and focused on practical obedience. Tuning in means joining a community dedicated to becoming the people God is raising up for such a time as this-a people defined by their hunger, their fidelity, and their active participation in a divine story much larger than themselves. This is a podcast for the serious, the seeking, and those ready to be part of a generation marked by a wholehearted response.
