JB Shreve

David Priest grew up in a small town in Oklahoma. Faith did not play a significant role in his life until he was a young man but he recalls the pathway that got him there.

Terrell Spencer's path to manhood did not get off to a strong start. A history of abuse and anger issues kept him moving from Arkansas, to the deserts of Arizona, a monastery in New Hampshire, and then the Iraq War. Thanks God for some good men God planted in his path along the way.

JB Shreve is joined by Liv, Damien, and James in this podcast episode that continues our journey through the Gospel of John. Chapter 7 can come across a little confusing to readers on first glance. We share a tip for peaking through the somewhat chaotic scenes to what is really going on and what is really important.

We also look at an important verse and saying of Jesus regarding judging.

Things are heating up in chapter 6 of the Gospel of John. Jesus performs several significant miracles including walking on water and feeding the 5,000 but that does not mean all is well. Jesus sees the wrong motives of many of the people who Him. He begins to challenge them. In fact, this chapter contains one of the weirdest statements of Jesus documented in any of the gospels.

In chapter 5 of the Gospel of John, we found some differences of perspective among us as we studied through. JB and Casie Shreve are joined by James, Damien, and Liv as we continue our study through the Gospel of John.

This chapter includes the healing of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda and Jesus’s discussion on life and judgment and the four witnesses that attest to who he is.

Chapter 4 of the Gospel of John includes Jesus's discussion with the Samaritan woman at the well, then Jesus returns to Cana where he heals the official's son. The podcast bible study group considers what each of these stories and passages has to tell us about our personal walk with God.

In today's podcast episode our group looks at the story of Nicodemus coming to Jesus at night. Then we turn to John the Baptist calculating what his life must look like with the arrival of Christ.

Our group Bible Study and podcast series through the gospel of John continues with this look at Chapter 2 of John's Gospel.

Each week (sometimes more frequently) JB and Casie Shreve will be joined by a group of students as we walk through the Gospel of John together. These podcast devotionals are pretty simple. We simply go through each chapter and share what stood out to each of us and what our key takeaways were.

In this podcast devotional, JB and Casie Shreve continue the look at the heart that we have been focusing on here at the website. The heart is complex, it is deep, it is unique to each of us, and it is central to our personal walk with God. As human beings, life teaches us to hide and hold back our hearts but that was not the direction that Jesus gave to us. Jesus was drawn toward little children because they had not yet learned to hide their hearts from the truth.

With a few verses and a lot of scripture JB and Casie look at the complexities of the human heart in this podcast episode and how key it is to learn to open our hearts to God.
