Matthew 22:21 Caesar, Caesar

"Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's." You've heard it in movies, in arguments, used as a shrug to keep faith and real life in separate boxes — but did you know those are the words of Jesus? Set inside a vicious trap meant to destroy Him, His answer refuses a false choice we still feel today: that loyalty to God and life in the world are rivals. A look at the two domains, the one Lord over both, and the question hiding underneath it all — whose image do you carry?

Passage: Matthew 22:21

About the Podcast

Be Still and Know
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
Scripture, taught slowly and without rush. Be Still offers full expository sermons that walk carefully through the text, plus shorter midweek episodes to steady your week. Named for the verse my grandmother held close all her life — and offered now as a place to stop, listen, and remember who God is.
In a loud and hurried world, come and be still.

I'm Jeff — the heart behind Be Still and Know. This show started from a simple desire: to slow down and actually sit with God's Word, without the rush. It's named for Psalm 46:10, my grandmother's favorite verse — "Be still, and know that I am God." Every episode, I try to walk through Scripture honestly and carefully, paired with original songs, as a place for you to pause in the middle of a noisy week and be reminded of who God is. I'm glad you're here.
