Sometimes the darkness of the world just feels so pervasive—doesn't it?

The war... the disease... the sin... is everywhere.

But we have hope because we know the remedy:

It's in Jesus, the Light who exposes the darkness of our sin—and leads us to walk in Him.

Join us on the Know God Deeply podcast as we dive into Jesus as "The Light of the World" in John 8.

You'll see how He transforms us... from the inside out.

Maybe you've heard that "love is a verb."

But what does it actually LOOK LIKE to put love into action?

In this episode, explore the depths of 1 John 3:11-24 with David, Adam, Corina, and Christina and you'll see...

• How love can reassure your heart before God (and what "reassuring your heart" means)
• How Christ's example of love shows us what real love looks like
• How love that is mere talk without action is no love at all

Find out what love really means—and how to put it into action in your own life today.

When you read the scripture that says, "No one who abides in Him sins"… doesn't it make you cringe a little inside?

After all, it seems like it's saying that Christians don't sin—which doesn't make sense with what we know is true about ourselves (and with what the Bible says elsewhere)!

So what is John saying here… and what is your relationship with sin as a Christian?

Join David, Adam, Corina, and Christina as they do a deep dive into 1 John 3:1-10.

You'll discover…

• How a practice of sin sets apart the children of God from the children of the devil
• How thinking about who you are as a child of God helps you know how to respond when you do sin
• How you can practice righteousness as a Christian while guarding against a self-righteous attitude

Dive into what Scripture says about sin and be in awe of the One who rescues you from sin and makes you a child of God.

Have you ever been scammed? Or do you know someone who has?

It doesn't feel good. And beyond that, in some cases it can lead to absolute financial ruin. But even more devastating than being ruined financially is being duped by false teachers into believing incorrect things about God, Jesus, or yourself.

False teaching can tear apart churches, destroy marriages... and wreak havoc on your spiritual life. So how can you be on guard against being led astray?

The Apostle John recognizes the dangers of false teaching and calls these kinds of teachers antichrists in the letter of 1 John.

See how abiding in Jesus helps give you discernment so you can be alert to what's false.

Inside this episode: • Be warned of the danger that false teaching poses to the Christian's life • Understand how John's warnings against "antichrists" are still relevant today • See how the Holy Spirit can bring discernment to your life so you can evaluate truth from error

Discover how you can be on guard against antichrists, so you can keep yourself and others around you from being deceived

One of the simplest and most important instructions in the Bible...

...is also one of the hardest.

It's to LOVE.

How can you practice love in tangible ways—when sometimes, if you're honest, you find your heart more inclined toward irritation... and even hatred?

Listen in as David, Adam, Corina, and Rachel dive into 1 John 2:7-17, and discover...

• How love is to be a hallmark of your Christian life
• How you can love even though your flesh's tendency may be to hate
• What you are NOT to love

Dive in and see how love totally transforms everything about how you relate to other believers, and to the world.

What does it mean to walk in the light?

And what do we do with the reality of our sin?

In this first episode of Season 4, we begin our study of 1 John by exploring the contrast between light and darkness and the hope we have in Jesus.

David, Adam, Rachel, and Corina walk through 1 John 1:1–2:6 and explore:

• How John describes his firsthand experience with Jesus
• Why truth matters in the face of false teaching
• What Scripture teaches about light and darkness
• Why we cannot claim to be without sin
• How can you let the light of Christ change the way you respond to your own sin
• What it practically looks like to walk in the light

Walk in the light, where grace and truth meet.
