Mthr. Barbara lectures on John 8:31-59.

We live in a world full of competing voices, and every day we have to decide which ones to listen to. How do you know who to trust? Dcn. Nathan Dearen preaches on John 10:1–10, the Good Shepherd passage, and offers three reasons we can know and trust Jesus: he enters by the door, the sheep recognize his voice, and he leads them to life. In a culture that rewards the loudest voice in the room, Jesus offers something different: a shepherd who calls his own by name and walks ahead of them into whatever comes next.

Scripture: John 10:1–10 (NRSV)

Mthr. Barbara White lectures on "Doubting" Thomas.

Mthr. Barbara lectures on the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8:1-11.

What does it mean to be living your real life? On the road to Emmaus, two disciples walked side by side with the risen Jesus and didn't recognize him until he was at the table with them. Mthr. Barbara White draws on Margery Williams' The Velveteen Rabbit to explore the difference between the "reality" we try to build for ourselves through accomplishment, status, or accumulation, and the reality that comes only from being known and loved by Christ. Easter doesn't just change what happened on a Sunday morning two thousand years ago. It changes what is real, and who we are inside it.

Scripture: Luke 24:13–35

Mthr. Barbara lectures on John 7:1-52.

Dr. Aaron Calhoun leads this week's class on the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ — not as two separate events, but as one seamless movement in the story of salvation. Drawing on C. S. Lewis, Philippians 2, and Daniel 7, we explore what it means that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God as the rightful Lord of all creation.

A week after Easter, the disciples are still behind locked doors, and Thomas still hasn’t seen the risen Christ. When Jesus finally appears, he doesn’t rebuke Thomas. He shows up, offers his wounds, and then pronounces a blessing on everyone who will believe without seeing. What does it look like to trust God when the proof runs out?

Seminarian Kevin Picklesimer preaches on John 20:19–31 and what he calls “eighth day faith” — the faith God invites us into after he’s given us enough to step out on our own.
