PROF DION FORSTER - From Water to Wine: Jesus’ First Miracle, Obedience, and the Power of the Ordinary

Loading player...
In this thought-provoking and deeply human conversation, Professor Dion Forster from the University of Amsterdam reflects on Jesus’ first miracle at the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1–11) and what it reveals about faith, obedience, and everyday life.

Recorded across continents—from South Africa to Amsterdam—this episode explores how Jesus chose an ordinary wedding feast, not a temple or sermon, to reveal divine power by turning water into wine. Dion unpacks the cultural significance of running out of wine, the quiet faith of Mary, and the overlooked role of ordinary servants in making miracles happen.

This podcast invites listeners to reconsider where and how God works today: in small acts of obedience, in everyday moments, and through ordinary people. A warm, insightful discussion on faith, humility, hospitality, and how God transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary.
