Up, Up and Away . . . For Now!

Why did Jesus leave earth after the resurrection? And what is He doing now? This episode explores the often-overlooked event of Christ’s ascension—and why it still matters today. Stephen Davey takes you to Luke 24, where Jesus offers His final words to the disciples before ascending into heaven. In that moment, Jesus gave them a message to proclaim, a mission to pursue, and a promise to hold onto. You’ll discover that Jesus didn’t just disappear—He went to prepare a place for you, to intercede for you, and to send His Spirit to empower you.

This lesson challenges you to see yourself as Christ sees you—not just as a believer, but as His witness. You’ll be reminded that your testimony isn’t about perfect performance but faithful obedience. You’ll also be encouraged by the story of how God transforms even the most broken relationships through the power of the gospel.

If you’ve ever struggled with fear, doubt, or discouragement in your faith, this episode will lift your eyes to the risen and ascended Christ. The mission He gave the disciples is now yours. And the power He promised is still available to you today. Jesus went up—but He is coming again.
