Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well that the Father desires people who worship him in spirit and truth. Panelists discuss and how doing so is beneficial, how it transcends a singular traditional activity or geographical location, and how worship can take place everywhere we go within the temples of our bodies.

In John chapter 4, the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well questioned the greatness of Jesus. She compared Jesus with Jacob, saying that hundreds of years earlier Jacob provided water for himself, his sons, and his livestock. How could Jesus and the offer of living water be greater than that? Panelists discuss what it means to be great, how Jesus used greatness to describe John the Baptist, and how Jesus said that the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than John.

When Jesus saw the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, the cultural norm of that day would have been for him to ignore her. Instead, Jesus interacted with her, saying, "Give me a drink." What followed was a life-changing discussion about the gift of God, living water, the woman's past, worship, and the Messiah. Panelists discuss how this passage conveys Jesus' intentionality in seeking the one who is lost, hiding or ashamed; what it means to be both fully known and fully loved; the parallel to several Old Testament accounts of a bridegroom meeting a future bride at a well; and the necessity and design of interconnectedness within the body of Christ.

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.
