Episode 19: There’s Something About Mary

Scripture: John 12:1-11

Description: The anointing of Jesus takes place in all four Gospels, one of the few scenes to show up in all of them. What was so significant about this story? Is it the action taken, or the woman who cares for Jesus in such a tender and profound way?

Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study:

How many anointings do you think took place in Jesus’ lifetime? Why do you think that? Does it significantly change the story if there are one, two, or three?
Why do you think this story is remembered in all four Gospels? What is significant about how it is remembered (ie what details are remembered and what are left out)?
When have you been displaced in your life? How did you find ways to serve the people who were helping you?
Have you ever felt disregarded? How does your faith strengthen you in those moments?
What did you learn about the biblical Marys in this episode? When you think about these Marys, what is most meaningful to you about them?

Talking John - Episode 22: "They'll Know We Are Christians" 33:58

منذ 9 weeks33:58

33:58

Episode 22 - They’ll Know We Are Christians Scripture: John 13:31-38 Description: We look at the actions of Judas and Peter at the end of this chapter, anc consider what each of them tell us about following Jesus, especially when it gets tough. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: When have you seen a pastor who is too trusted take advantage of that trust, or seen a pastor not trusted enough face unfair critique in your experience in church? When have you wanted the Bible to include more detail than it does? What are some details you imagine or would like to know about this passage? What words of Jesus do you think are too often misunderstood? What does it take for you to really hear Jesus? When do we do well at loving one another? When do we fail at it? When have you, like Peter, made a promise to God that you didn’t keep, at least initially?…

Talking John - Episode 21: "Pay Attention" 48:50

منذ 11 weeks48:50

48:50

Scripture: John 13:1-30 Description: We have entered the Farewell Discourse, where Jesus is sharing his last words with the Disciples. We look at the significance of last words and actions, and the consequences of not paying close enough attention, especially to the people in our lives. Note: We will discuss a suicide in this episode. Please take care as you listen, and if you are considering suicide, reach out to someone who loves you or call the suicide hotline - 988. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: What words do you most want to share with the ones you love? What is keeping you from sharing them? Have you ever been part of a foot washing? If so, what was the experience like? What does it mean to you that Judas is seated in the position of honor? Do you think Judas had a choice? Why or why not? Has someone ever sold you out? How did you navigate that situation? When have you not paid attention and regretted it later?…

Talking John - Episode 20: "A Donkey's Path or a Purposeful Path" 49:54

منذ 12 weeks49:54

49:54

Scripture: John 12:12-50 Description: We talk about the short shrift John gives to the Palm Sunday entry, and learn about the role donkeys played in building roads. We also consider what it means to follow Jesus, and to follow a God who is so purposeful in all God does. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: What does the phrase “The Lord works in purposeful ways” mean to you? How does it differ from the usual expression that “The Lord works in mysterious ways”? When in your life has it been important to pay attention to each step you take, either literally or figuratively? When have you taken the easy path as opposed to the more difficult path? What was a result? What does the verse, “Those who love their lives will lose them, and those who hate their lives in this world will keep them forever” mean to you? When have you had to give up something that was deeply precious to you for the benefit of someone else? How did that feel? What do you think is good about our focus on the individual over the collective in this culture? How do you think we suffer because of that perspective?…

Talking John - Episode 18: "Thomas, Tombs, Tattletales, and Time" 38:04

منذ 27 weeks38:04

38:04

Episode 18 - "Thomas, Tombs, Tattletales, and Time" Scripture: John 11:1-57 Description: This episode covers the raising of Lazarus. We start out considering whether Thomas is unfairly maligned and end knowing that Jesus definitely is. In the middle we consider how to understand the miracle and to remember to include Jesus’ humanity as we think of him. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: Thomas gets associated with the adjective doubting, but we see Thomas behave other ways, like in this passage. When have you or someone you have known been incompletely characterized by one moment? How does a relationship with Jesus expand who we can be? Martha takes a few steps forward in faith, and then slides a bit back. How has your journey of faith proceeded? Like Martha’s or some other way? What does it mean to you to know that Jesus wept? What helps you connect with Jesus’ humanity? Why is it meaningful to see the humanity of Jesus?…

Talking John - Episode 17: "Counting Sheep and Penguins" 38:25

منذ 32 weeks38:25

38:25

Episode 17 - Counting Sheep and Penguins Scripture: John 10:1-42 Description: In this episode, we account for sheep and penguins. It turns out, they both need to hear the voice of the one who loves them. We do too. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: Whose voice would you recognize in any time or place? Why is that voice meaningful or noticeable to you? What was something new or interesting you learned about sheep in this episode? How will it inform your understanding of faith? What is an experience you have had in nature that has taught you something about God and God’s love for us? Shepherd is used to describe Jesus for the people of the first century, and it would have had real meaning for them. Shepherds were everywhere, and it is likely that people knew the difference between a good and a bad one. What would be a meaningful image for us today in place of shepherd? Have you ever carried around metaphorical rocks to throw at someone in your life? How did that feel? Why did you feel like you needed them? What is a biblical passage that has meaning for you (whether you could remember the chapter and verse or not)?…

Talking John - Episode 16: "I Once Was Blind" 43:28

منذ 32 weeks43:28

43:28

Episode 16 - I Once Was Blind Scripture: John 9:1-41 Description: In this Chapter, a favorite of John White’s, we look at the healing of the blind man, and the subsequent negative reaction that occurs all around him. We then ask questions about who was really blind in this story. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: Why do you think there was so little celebration for this man who was healed of his blindness? When have you felt treated like just an object and not a person, or when have you realized you treated someone else that way? How did it feel? What do you wish had been done differently? When has someone you didn’t expect brought wisdom or talents or understanding? How did you respond? Who was blind in this story for you? What does it take to change someone’s perspective? Why do people resist such change?…

منذ 42 weeks42:45

42:45

Episode 15 - The Darkness Will Not Overwhelm Scripture: John 8:12-59 Description: We discuss the rising conflict between Jesus and the Jewish Leaders. We also address how Chapter 8 has falsely and tragically been used to justify anti-semitism. And we will close out this chapter reflecting on damaging theologies around suicide. If you or someone you love is considering suicide, call or text the suicide emergency number at 988. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: Why do you think it is nearly impossible for some people to choose to follow Jesus? When have you had to change your perspective on something? How did you go about making that change? What is a belief or perspective that you have that you would never give up? Why would you not give it up? When have you seen the Bible used to justify perspectives that seem contradictory to what God wants for us? What does it mean to you to realize that the church no longer condemns those who die by suicide?…

Talking John - Episode 14: "Stoned" 36:33

منذ 42 weeks36:33

36:33

Episode 14 - Stoned Scripture: John 8:1-11 Description: We stay focused on the story of the woman caught in adultery, who John White names Sindy. We recognize that all of us at one time or another have picked up a stone to hurl at others, and we name some of those stones that we hurl. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: What do you love about this story, and what bothers you about it? Do you think it is authentic to the Gospel of John or not? What do we lose if it is not included? What color of metaphorical stone(s) have you picked up in your lifetime to throw at someone else? How have you learned to deal with this kind of judgment? What color of stones have been thrown at you? What was the impact on your life? What color stones are you holding in your hands right now? What would it take to drop them?…

Talking John - Episode 13: "Water Thicker Than Blood" 44:12

منذ 45 weeks44:12

44:12

Episode 13 - Water Thicker than Blood Scripture: John 7:1-53 Description: In this episode, we learn some background on the Festival of Tabernacles (aka the Festival of Booths). We also discuss the potential sibling rivalry between Jesus and his brothers. Then we consider how we all judge one another on external conditions - where we grew up, what our schooling level is, etc. and challenge us all to see more clearly - with the eyes of Jesus. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: What did you learn that was interesting about the Festival of Tabernacles? How in your family have you seen sibling rivalry at work? What is good about sibling rivalry, and what can be disastrous? Have you ever been judged unfairly because of something in your background or your current condition? How did you respond? When have you judged someone else unfairly, and what did you learn from that experience? What is special about you that you think God sees, even if no one else sees it?…

Talking John - Episode 12: "The Chosen" 25:13

منذ 49 weeks25:13

25:13

Episode 12 - The Chosen Scripture: John 6:26-70 Description: We are still in these same verses, but didn’t I mention last week that these were difficult teachings? We can’t just fly past them. In this episode, we will dip our toe into the debate around chosenness: are all people chosen by God, or just some? And does the chosen include Judas? Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: What does the word “chosen” mean to you? What emotions does it evoke? What memories do you recall when you hear that word? Protestantism is broken into 2 camps around election/chosenness: Arminians who believe all are chosen, and Calvinists who believe that only a select few are elected for salvation. Which perspective do you choose to believe, and why? Having studied the Gospel of John so far, which perspective do you think matches up with this Gospel more, and why? What does it mean to you to think about Judas as chosen by God? When does the church need to practice disruption? Which attitude do you think is more harmful to the church: “We’ve always done it this way,” or “What does church do for me?” What damage does each one do? Is there anything helpful about those perspectives?…

Talking John - Episode 11: "Vampires and Cannibals" 28:05

منذ 49 weeks28:05

28:05

Episode 11 - Vampires and Cannibals Scripture: John 6:26-70 Description: Jesus is hitting the people with a hard teaching - eat his flesh and drink his blood. Many will turn away because of this teaching, but it will also give theological backbone to a central practice of the church: communion. Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: If you were in a crowd and had come to hear an acclaimed speaker, and that speaker started telling everyone to eat their flesh and drink their blood, what would you think of that speaker? If you have never been part of a communion service before, look up online a communion liturgy, and if you have, recall the words of the liturgy. How does it feel to experience those words for the first time? What questions does it raise for you? Where is it strange and where is it powerful? What teachings of Jesus do you find it hard to live with? Why? What kind of teaching/learning is more meaningful for you: concrete, practical teaching or metaphorical, poetic teaching? Why do you think you resonate with that type more? For you, what is the difference between believing and believing in?…

Talking John - Episode 10: "Bread and Water" 39:15

منذ 51 weeks39:15

39:15

Episode 10 - Bread and Water Scripture: John 6:1-21 Description: We look at two miracles (feeding 5000 and walking on water) and recognize that how you describe them matters - and reflects your own point-of-view, whether you are a Gospel writer or reader. So what do you think: was the feeding of the 5000 a miracle of creation or a miracle of generosity, and why? What “regular things” have taken on great meaning and power for you? Why do they have that meaning? Think about your last few weeks and any challenges or opportunities that have been put before you. Have you reacted more like Philip (doubted it was possible), Andrew (willing to think of ideas but wanted to lay out practical steps), or the little lad (bringing what you had, trusting you could make something of it)? What would it take for you to react like the little lad if you didn’t? When have you thought God was crazy for believing in you? Or if not God, someone else? If you have ever had a rival, how would you describe a success they had, especially if it was a time when you did not shine as brightly? What are some other differences you have noticed in the Gospels? What do those differences tell you?…

Talking John - Episode 9: "Do You Want to Get Well?" 40:10

منذ 1 year40:10

40:10

Scripture: John 5:1-18 Description: We look now at the healing of the man at the pool of Bethsaida. Does the man want to get well or not? Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: We all have struggles in our lives, physical and mental, and we sometimes deal with them in very different ways. During times of struggle, when have you been receptive to healing, and when have you resisted healing, and why? Do you think Jesus honors the man’s choices or do you think Jesus takes away the man’s agency in this story? Why do you think what you do? Where are some places that people do not choose to or like to go that you can still find Jesus? Have you ever felt like you were treated like an object more than a person? How did that feel? Have you encountered someone who could not take yes for an answer? How did that approach impact their relationship with other people? How do you explain your belief in Christ to others?…

Talking John - Episode 8: "Live the Difference" 21:26

منذ 1 year21:26

21:26

Episode 8- Live the Difference Scripture: John 4:1-42 Description: We continue our discussion of the Woman at the Well, this time reflecting on what difference Jesus makes in our lives. How are we changed, and how do we live differently? Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study: What do you think happened to Samanda after Jesus left? Why do you think that? What constitutes “successful” evangelism? When has the Holy Spirit revealed something new to you? What effect did that revelation have? How can you live like Scripture makes a difference in your life? What would change, if anything?…
