The Bible in a Year

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Gospel of John to a close, covering the upper room, the farewell discourse, the high priestly prayer, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. The hosts open with a striking observation about the foot washing — that at a U-shaped table, Judas occupied the position of honor beside Jesus, meaning the Savior washed His betrayer's feet no less thoroughly than John's. From there the episode moves through Jesus shwocasing how love is a verb rather than a noun, the promise of the Paraclete (the Holy Spirit), and John 17's prayer for unity — where Pastor Kevin issues a pointed challenge that every church and tradition genuinely declaring Jesus as Lord must stand together, because the world is watching. The episode closes on the beach in John 21, where Jesus meets a finally-honest Peter with "do you love me?" — and the beautiful reminder that the love of God is never a reservoir, always a river.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence work through the heart of John's Gospel, tracing the "I AM" statements that anchor the book — the bread of life, the light of the world, the good shepherd — and the stunning encounters that surround them. The episode opens with the Samaritan woman at the well, where the hosts unpack the cultural walls Jesus deliberately crossed and the moment she left her water pot behind to tell an entire city about the man who told her everything she ever did. A standout moment comes at the pool of Bethesda, where Pastor Kevin shares an insight that reframed the passage entirely: Jesus' warning to "stop sinning or something worse may happen" speaks to returning to a life of bondage once you've been set free. The episode closes on the raising of Lazarus, with the hosts lingering on the shortest verse in Scripture — Jesus wept — and the beautiful truth that Christ does not stand in victory calling us to find our own way out of grief; He steps into our grief with tears and walks us to the victory Himself.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Gospel of Luke to a close and step into the Gospel of John — covering Holy Week, the crucifixion, the resurrection, the road to Emmaus, and then one of the most theologically breathtaking prologues in all of Scripture. The hosts linger on Luke's distinctive eye for human detail: the disciples in Gethsemane found "exhausted from sorrow" rather than laziness, and the devastating moment in Luke 22 where the Lord turns and looks straight at Peter — not with an "I told you so," but with compassion and a calling to return and strengthen his brothers. From there the episode opens to John 1, where Pastor Kevin unpacks the Greek behind "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" — literally, the Word tabernacled among us — and walks through John's day-by-day account of the first week of Jesus' ministry. Today's installment closes on a lesson that has shaped Pastor Kevin's ministry: Jesus would not entrust Himself to the crowd's praise, and neither should we give ourselves to compliments or criticism — just stay the course.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence move through the heart of Luke's Gospel, opening with a look at Luke himself — the Gentile physician, meticulous observer, and gifted writer whose care for the marginalized & for women runs through every chapter. The episode works through some of the most beloved parables in all of Scripture: the Good Samaritan, the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son — with the hosts drawing out the brilliant context of Luke 15, where the lost sheep and prodigal represent those outside the flock while the lost coin and the older brother represent those already inside the house who need to come home too. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin unpacks the Good Samaritan through the lens of Dr. Jim Halbert's observation that the priest and the Levite "stepped over ministry to get to ministry," connecting it directly to the work happening right outside our own front doors. The episode closes on the rich man and Lazarus, the great chasm, and a powerful meditation on Jesus as the only bridge — a reminder that the exclusivity of Christ is always paired with the inclusivity of His call.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Gospel of Luke — the orderly, meticulously researched account written so that Theophilus might know the certainty of what he'd been taught — and work through the birth narratives, John the Baptist's ministry, the temptation in the wilderness, and Jesus' earliest ministry. The hosts build a stunning through-line around the glory of God: absent from the temple for roughly 600 years after Ezekiel watched it depart, and silent for 400 years after Malachi, the glory suddenly blazes over a field of forgotten shepherds — whose terror, the hosts note, was exactly the right response. A standout moment comes as they contrast Zechariah's doubting "how can I be sure of this?" with Mary's humble "how will this be?", and unpack the Magnificat as a revolutionary song so saturated with Old Testament scripture that it simply pours out of a young woman who had hidden the Word in her heart. Throughout it all, the episode celebrates the "slow burn" faithfulness of Zechariah, Elizabeth, Joseph, Mary, Simeon, and Anna — ordinary people who simply showed up every day and were ready when the glory returned.
