Jetway Jesus, Social Media Sadfishing, and Why Self-Pity Keeps Us Stuck | Ep. 85 | Wyatt Matters

This week starts with a hilarious look at “Jetway Jesus”... those passengers who need a wheelchair to board a plane but somehow experience a miraculous recovery before reaching baggage claim.
Then the crew takes aim at one of the internet’s most annoying trends: vague-posting, sadfishing, rage-baiting, and the endless search for attention online. Why do people post cryptic messages that say everything and nothing at the same time?
But beneath the humor is a much deeper question.
When does legitimate pain become an identity? When does a setback become a story we keep telling ourselves?
Steve examines Jesus’ encounter with the disabled man at the Pool of Bethesda and asks a difficult question: Do we actually want to get better, or have we become comfortable living inside our excuses?
This episode explores self-pity, personal responsibility, healing, and why moving forward often begins with a simple but difficult command: “Get up.”
