The Isaiah 43 Podcast
The Isaiah 43 Podcast invites you to behold the God who says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine” (Isa. 43:1). Each week, we walk slowly through the Scriptures, combining careful exegesis with the rich truths of Reformed theology. These reflections on the Holy Scriptures aim to ground your faith, comfort your heart, and lift your eyes to Christ—our great Redeemer, Shepherd, and Friend. Whether you come weary, searching, or eager to grow, you’ll find a steady place to rest in the promises of God.

Is Jesus distant or just differently present?
Many of us treat the Ascension as a "divine exit strategy"—a mere footnote between Easter and the Second Coming. But in Lord’s Day 18 of the Heidelberg Catechism, we discover that Christ’s departure was actually for our greatest gain.
Join Clayton as we explore why it’s "best for us" that Jesus is seated at the Father’s right hand. We discuss the mystery of how Christ can be physically in heaven while remaining "never absent" from us, and why having "our own flesh in heaven" is the ultimate guarantee of our future glory. If you’ve ever felt alone in your struggles or wondered if your prayers are reaching the throne, this episode will anchor your soul in the comfort of our Great Advocate.
In this episode:
- Why the Ascension is the "crowning moment" of victory.
- How Jesus can be true man and true God across two different places.
- The three specific benefits the Ascension provides for your daily life.
- A look at the Holy Spirit as our "first installment" of heaven.
