How does God use marriage to tell us about himself? In the Bible, John the Baptist used the term bridegroom to describe Jesus. And Jesus described himself using that verbiage as well. Does contemporary society misunderstand this connection? Our panelists discuss repentance, purification, covenant, maturity, and unity.

Before he was a psychologist, Dr. Jon was a nine-year-old aspiring gymnast. Although his goals didn't really surpass bouncing aimlessly on a trampoline, that didn't stop him from seeking pledges for the local gym's fundraiser. Would the Cartwheel-a-thon end in soaring success? Or nosediving disappointment? Dr. Jon shares another story from his childhood and examines how belief in Jesus comes with both risk and reward.

The opening vlog is followed by a panel discussion. Life is full of choices every day. Many choices require a measure of trust or faith in things which cannot be seen. While this is true in the natural, it is also true in the supernatural. Jesus said, "blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed" (KJV). Panelists discuss faith, doubt, evidence, confession, and belief.

John 3:16 is arguably the best-known verse in the Bible. Perhaps less is known about the conversation immediately preceding it. Jesus was explaining to Nicodemus how a bronze serpent lifted on a pole in a desert hundreds of years earlier would be similar to Jesus' own crucifixion. Those who looked upon the serpent would live and those who look to or believe in Jesus Christ would also live. Panelists discuss the parallels between these two events and their relevance for today.

Sometimes the best gifts come unusually wrapped. It can be easy to miss a gift's true value based on a first impression! Such was the case when Jesus was born. God's gift of salvation came as a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths. After an opening audio blog, panelists discuss the word "wrapped" as it appears in Luke 2:7, and also discuss the role wisdom plays in being able to discern the mystery of the gospel as the Apostle Paul referred to it.
