Ele'azear SmithHoly &amp; Whole is a daily devotional podcast rooted in Scripture with one call: Get up and walk forward. Inspired by John 5 and the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda, this podcast is for those who feel stuck, discouraged, and unsure. Jesus is asking: “Do YOU want to be made whole?” Each episode offers a scripture, reflection, and prayer to help you answer that question by taking responsibility, releasing what’s holding you back, and moving forward—one step at a time. Not perfectly. But faithfully. Get up. Walk forward. Become Holy &amp; Whole.episodicJ.

Scripture of the Day:

Proverbs 4:23: Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. (NLT)

Jonah 2:6: I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;

The earth with her bars was about me for ever:

Yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. (KJV)

Proverbs 20:9: Who can say, I have made my heart clean,

I am pure from my sin? (KJV)

Sometimes what feels right can still lead us away from wisdom, peace, and wholeness. This episode is a reminder that telling ourselves “no” can be an act of protection, discipline, and spiritual rescue.

Scripture of the Day:

Proverbs 14:8-10, 12: 'The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: But the folly of fools is deceit. Fools make a mock at sin: But among the righteous there is favour. The heart knoweth his own bitterness; And a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

Jeremiah 17:9: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Genesis 4:7:You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.

This episode explores how unresolved inner conflict can contribute to the rise in violence against women, and why wholeness is no longer optional.


Scripture of the Day:

Proverbs 20:9: Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? (KJV)

Romans 7:18-25: For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. (KJV)

Inspired by John 5—the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda—this podcast speaks to those who feel stuck, waiting, discouraged, or unsure of what comes next.

Jesus asked a question that still echoes today:
“Do YOU want to be made whole?”

This podcast is about answering that question honestly.

Through the help of Jesus Christ and the Word, Holy & Whole challenges you to take responsibility for where you are, release what’s been holding you down, and begin moving forward—one step at a time.

Not perfectly.
But faithfully.

Each episode includes:
• A scripture to center your heart
• A short reflection to guide your steps
• A prayer to strengthen your walk

You don’t have to stay where you’ve been.
With Christ and commitment, you can rise, carry what once carried you, and walk into something new.

Get up. Walk forward. Become Holy & Whole.
