What do Genesis, manna in the wilderness, and Jesus’ miracles all have in common?
In this episode on the Jesus Everyday Podcast , Ethan Callison, Ken Nienke, and Andrew McPheron look back over John chapters 1–6 — connecting the dots between creation, covenant, and Christ’s call to believe.

📖 In this conversation:

• The meta-narrative of John 1–6 and its connection to Genesis 1

• Why John begins “In the beginning was the Word” and what that says about Jesus’ divinity

• Key themes: Light, Life, and Belief — and how they shape the Gospel’s structure

• The crowd’s repeated misunderstanding of Jesus’ miracles

• How “believe” in John means surrender and obedience, not just intellectual agreement

• Living faith versus “microwave discipleship”

• Why repentance isn’t a one-time event

• How Jesus frees us in our circumstances, not always from them

💬 The team also shares personal moments—Ethan’s daughter Genevieve’s new faith in Christ, favorite passages like Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman, and what they’re most excited to study next: the Good Shepherd, Lazarus, and the final week of Jesus’ life.
