Apostle John tackles the toughest concept yet: People who were once part of the Church but who have since walked away. John says that they were never truly part of the body. Bren couples this passage with the parable of the sown seeds, challenging us to ask ourselves how our heart has and is responding to God's word, and if we're really part of the body, or just pretending.

John tells us to live in the world but not to love it. But what does that even mean? Bren walks through the passage, defining "the world" and talking through how we can love the things of God while living in -- but not loving -- the world.

Jesus says that we should leverage our stuff and our money for things that matter. What are those things? Mike Gordon compares two passages to teach us which things the bible says last for eternity, and how we can use stuff to further God's kingdom.

Is there someone in your life who you would rather have nothing to do with? Who you consider beneath you? Bren teaches through 1 John that when we act this way we walk in darkness, and don't really know Jesus. Bren encourages us to examine ourselves and take action to move back toward loving others in the areas of our life that we aren't.

Bren teaches, through 1 John, that knowledge of what Jesus taught is not enough. Instead, knowledge coupled with trust in who God says he is produces obedience. When we walk this way -- the way Jesus did --  we can know that we're saved.

John encourages us to walk in the light, but also acknowledges that no one is perfect. So what happens when we sin? Bren talks through what our response to sin should be, and how that relates to Jesus' death on the cross.

Light or darkness: Which are you walking in? Bren unpacks 1 John to show the role that confession plays in "walking in the light," and how it affects our fellowship with others.

Who is Jesus really, and when was the last time you simply focused on all that he says he is? Bren recaps what Jesus says about himself and teaches, through 1st John, that true fulfillment and joy comes through remaining in the truth of who Jesus is.
