Riverview Conversations

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.

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.

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.

In this episode of Riverview Conversations, Jason and Phil and special guest Tyler dive into Mark 4 and Jesus’ Parable of the Sower. Together they explore the different kinds of soil, what they reveal about the human heart, and how God’s Word takes root in our lives. Join the conversation as they discuss faith, spiritual growth, and what it means to truly hear and receive the message of Jesus.

Part 6 of our Mark series dives into Mark 3:7–35, where we explore one of Jesus’ most sobering warnings—the unpardonable sin—and what it reveals about the human heart. We also unpack Jesus’ authority over Satan, the “strong man,” and what this passage shows about His divine nature and power. Join us as we wrestle with challenging questions and discover hope in the authority of Christ.

In this week’s episode of Riverview Conversations, Jason and Phil explore Mark 2:23–3:6, unpacking Jesus’ powerful teaching on the Sabbath. Together, they highlight how Jesus consistently elevates the value of people over rigid rule-keeping, showing that the law was always intended to bring blessing, not burden.

In Part 4 of our Mark series, Jason and Phil dive into Mark 2:13–22, exploring the calling of Levi (Matthew) and the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ interactions with sinners, fasting, and new vs. old. One fascinating detail we unpack is Levi’s tax booth location along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and why Jesus’ call was so radical. Join us as we continue discovering the surprising, upside-down kingdom Jesus is bringing.

In this episode of the Riverview Conversations podcast, Jason and Phil explore Mark 1:40–2:12, focusing on two powerful healing stories. They reflect on Jesus’ compassionate touch in cleansing the man with leprosy, highlighting the significance of His willingness to physically engage with the unclean. The conversation then turns to the healing of the paralyzed man, where Jesus not only restores physical health but also boldly declares forgiveness of sins.
