Episode 4: Jesus in Context and the Call to Discipleship
Who was Jesus and what was he up to in history?
Olivia and Matt explore the grand narrative of the Bible and try to situate Jesus within the covenant plan of God, as well as within his historical situation (culturally and politically). From there they explore what Jesus did and said and why. What did he intend by doing miracles, eating meals with undesirables and forgiving sins, and what did he teach and why did he call himself the Son of Man or Lord of the Sabbath?

Episode 1. GOD the Creator and the Power of Words
We start at the very beginning - who is God, and how do we know God?
In this episode we explore God as the Creator who spoke everything and everyone into existence. What do we learn about God from the narrative of Creation in the Scriptures? Who does God reveal God-self to be, and how? Is God far off or near? And what does all of this teach us about ourselves and how we out to live?
