In this episode, we turn to the Gospel of John to explore the striking tension between Jesus as the eternal Logos, God’s own Word who holds all things together, and Jesus as the Lamb of God who was overlooked, misunderstood, and rejected. As we walk through John’s temple scenes and bold “I am”...

3. How Genesis Made Your World
In this episode, we dig into what makes Christian ethics different from other worldviews—starting with the belief that our worth comes from being made by God himself. That truth shapes how we see human dignity, moral absolutes, and what it really means to live well. We also talk about what…
