Week two in our Gospel of John series, and we’re slowing down in one of the most profound lines in Scripture: “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). Sam and Brad are joined by Elena Ciobo and Andrew Mayne to explore what it means that God didn’t stay distant - He came close, took on humanity, and made His home with us.

In this conversation we unpack the stunning picture behind the word “dwelt” - the idea of Jesus tabernacling among His people - and how John is intentionally echoing the story of God’s presence in Genesis, Exodus, the tabernacle, and the temple, now fulfilled in God-with-us in the person of Jesus.

Key themes include:

- The Word Became Flesh: why Jesus becoming human changes everything

- “Dwelt” / Tabernacled: God’s presence moving from tent → temple → Jesus → His people

- God Comes Where He’s Wanted: Christianity as God’s initiative, not our ladder to Him

- Mission on Monday: carrying God’s presence into ordinary life — no sacred/secular divide

- Grace & Truth Together: resisting the extremes and learning the Jesus-way in every interaction
