Pastors Bill, Arlen, and Jack reflect on John 6:1–24, where Jesus feeds the five thousand and walks on water.

They unpack what these miracles teach about trust, surrender, and the power of God to work through weakness. From the boy’s small lunch to the disciples’ fear in the storm, the story reminds us that Jesus meets us where faith runs out.

Key takeaways:

• Jesus asks questions to grow our faith, not test our logic.
• Sometimes the storm we’re in is the one we’ve created.
• Inviting Jesus into the boat changes everything.
• Obedience shortens the distance between fear and peace.

In John chapter 5, Jesus makes one of His most astonishing claims — that God is His Father and that He shares in God’s divine authority. In this conversation, Pastor Bill Van Kirk hosts Pastors Jack Guerra and Garet Meyer for a rich discussion about how Jesus’ words would have been heard by His original audience, what “Son of Man” from Daniel 7 really means, and how the Trinity reveals both unity and distinction within God.

They also reflect on why the Nicene Creed — written over 1,600 years ago — remains a vital declaration of faith for the church today.

🎧 Highlights:

• Why “My Father” was a radical claim in Jesus’ time
• Understanding the Son of Man from Daniel 7
• How the Trinity works without contradiction
• What “begotten, not created” means
• Why creeds matter for modern believers
