Ep 58: Only By the Blood (“The Blood” by Bethel Music)

What if transformation doesn’t begin with trying harder—but with understanding what’s already been done?

In today’s episode, we sit with “The Blood” by Bethel Music—a worship anthem written for the weary, the striving, the ones caught on the hamster wheel of Christian performance who’ve forgotten they can step off and rest.

But this isn’t just a song.

It’s a declaration.

That everything changed. That you’ve been washed from the inside. That it could have only been the blood.

Because in Scripture, the scarlet thread runs from Genesis to Revelation—from the first covering in the garden to the wedding feast of the Lamb—reminding us that God has always been the One who provides, covers, and transforms through blood.

In This Episode:

• Hear the story behind “The Blood” and why it was written as a call back to simple, honest worship

• Trace the scarlet thread from Genesis 3 to Revelation 19, discovering how every drop of blood pointed to Christ

• Explore the Martha-to-Mary transformation that happens when we stop performing and start abiding

• Rest in the truth that you’re not becoming something—you already are something beautiful in Him
