In this illuminating episode of Between Sundays, hosts O'Bee and Bill take a deep dive into what it truly means to “walk in the light.” Joined by special guest Curtis “The Hammer” Honts, the trio explores this familiar biblical phrase from both Old and New Testament perspectives — tracing the theme of light from Genesis to Revelation.
Through lively conversation, laughter, and thoughtful reflection, they uncover how “walking in the light” represents more than just moral living — it’s about alignment with God’s presence, obedience to His Word, and reflecting Christ’s light in a dark world.
Drawing on passages from Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs, John, Ephesians, and Revelation, this discussion sheds new light (pun intended) on how believers are called not only to receive God’s illumination but to radiate it in everyday life.
