Jason Worf

In this episode of Riverview Conversations, Phil and Jason explore the closing scenes of Mark 6:45-56 — Jesus walking on the sea, and healing the sick at Gennesaret.

These events reveal Jesus’ compassion, provision, and authority. We also discuss the disciples’ fear and “hardened hearts”—and what their experience teaches us about recognizing and trusting Christ amid scarcity, exhaustion, and uncertainty.

Phil and Jason explore the story of the death of John the Baptist in Mark 6:14-29.

Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth — and is met with skepticism from the very people who watched him grow up. What does his rejection there reveal about the nature of faith? Then, Jesus sends his disciples out two by two with surprising instructions: travel light, trust the provision, and shake the dust when you're not welcomed.

Phil and Jason dig into both of these moments in Mark 6:1-13 and what they mean for how we live and share the gospel today.

Philemon

Jason, Phil, and Tyler dig into the second half of Mark 5, where Jesus is interrupted on his way to heal a dying girl by a woman who has suffered for twelve years. They explore the intertwining of these two stories, what it means to reach out to Jesus in desperation, and the quiet, stunning moment when Jairus is told it's too late — and Jesus says keep believing anyway.

In this episode of Riverview Conversations, Jason, Phil, and Tyler walk through one of the most dramatic sequences in Mark's Gospel — the storm-tossed crossing of the Sea of Galilee (Mark 4:35–41) and the encounter with the Gerasene demoniac on the other side (Mark 5:1–20). They explore what these back-to-back stories reveal about who Jesus is, the nature of his authority, and what it means to cross over into unexpected territory with him.

Commitment

Join Jason, Phil, and Tyler for this episode of Riverview Conversations as they explore Gospel of Mark 4:21–34 and the parables of the lamp, the growing seed, and the mustard seed. These parables expand on the principles Jesus taught in the parable of the sower, and add unique facets to the implication of faith and discipleship.
