After an opening audio blog, panelists discuss how death is not the end of one's existence. Jesus said, "all who are in the tombs will hear his voice." How do Jesus' words affect our understanding of death and life? How does the Bible portray these as binary choices? How does worldly culture downplay true freedom while normalizing depravity as a seemingly acceptable third option?
"'For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.'" Panelists discuss these words of Jesus found in John chapter 5 and consider how the Father is present in the New Testament, how the Son is present in the Old Testament, the role of Jesus as judge, the assault on fatherhood in culture, and the eternal implications of imitation.

Before Jesus healed a man who had been unable to walk for 38 years, he asked the man if he wanted to be healed. Did the man's response say something about his heart posture to receive a miracle? Panelists discuss this biblical account, examine how to encourage those who are persevering through chronic conditions, and consider helpful mindsets and actions for pursuing health and healing.
The Bible lists several miraculous signs that will accompany those who believe. As amazing as signs are, it's important to remember they are a means to an end, pointing towards the one who gives them. Panelists discuss the healing of the official's son in John chapter 4 and how the miracle was a sign that led to belief in Jesus Christ.

Jesus mentioned harvest after meeting with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well. Could the disciples have anticipated that the harvest would include people from every nation, including those with whom they would not normally associate culturally? What are the implications from this passage for believers today?
Scripture: John 4:28-39
Hosts and guests: Jon, Chris, Robyn, Joshua
Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well that the Father desires people who worship him in spirit and truth.

In John chapter 4, the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well questioned the greatness of Jesus. She compared Jesus with Jacob, saying that hundreds of years earlier Jacob provided water for himself, his sons, and his livestock. How could Jesus and the offer of living water be greater than that? Panelists discuss what it means to be great, how Jesus used greatness to describe John the Baptist, ...
When Jesus saw the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, the cultural norm of that day would have been for him to ignore her. Instead, Jesus interacted with her, saying, "Give me a drink." What followed was a life-changing discussion about the gift of God, living water, the woman's past, worship, and the Messiah. Panelists discuss how this passage conveys Jesus' intentionality in seeking the ...
After an opening audio blog, panelists discuss how the wrath of God was poured out on Jesus, how it remains on those who do not obey Him, and how believers benefit from renewed minds, loving discipline, and living as freed while under the lordship of Christ.

How does God use marriage to tell us about himself? In the Bible, John the Baptist used the term bridegroom to describe Jesus. And Jesus described himself using that verbiage as well. Does contemporary society misunderstand this connection? Our panelists discuss repentance, purification, covenant, maturity, and unity.

Before he was a psychologist, Dr. Jon was a nine-year-old aspiring gymnast. Although his goals didn't really surpass bouncing aimlessly on a trampoline, that didn't stop him from seeking pledges for the local gym's fundraiser. Would the Cartwheel-a-thon end in soaring success? Or nosediving disappointment? Dr. Jon shares another story from his childhood and examines how belief in Jesus c...
John 3:16 is arguably the best-known verse in the Bible. Perhaps less is known about the conversation immediately preceding it. Jesus was explaining to Nicodemus how a bronze serpent lifted on a pole in a desert hundreds of years earlier would be similar to Jesus' own crucifixion. Those who looked upon the serpent would live and those who look to or believe in Jesus Christ would also liv...
After an opening audio blog where Dr. Jon shares the complications of his own birth, the episode discusses Jesus' words to Nicodemus, "You must be born again," and how being born again, by the Spirit, is required in order to see and enter the kingdom of God.

After an opening audio blog, panelists discuss the significance of the temple in the Old Testament, how Jesus referred to his own body as a temple in the book of John, and how the physical body of a believer is also called a temple by Paul in the book of 1 Corinthians.

Sometimes the best gifts come unusually wrapped. It can be easy to miss a gift's true value based on a first impression! Such was the case when Jesus was born. God's gift of salvation came as a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths. After an opening audio blog, panelists discuss the word "wrapped" as it appears in Luke 2:7, and also discuss the role wisdom plays in being able to discern the m...
