After an opening audio blog, panelists discuss how Jesus said "'Do not be afraid'" as he walked on the sea during a storm, how a healthy reverence for God puts fear into perspective, and the process of overcoming shame as we look forward to a heavenly dwelling.

Although Scripture repeatedly refers to Jesus as king or even King of kings, he withdrew when a crowd tried to force him into royalty. Panelists discuss God's promises with regard to Jesus, Abraham, and David; how divine purpose and timing may not conform to human understanding and systems; and how God desires to unforcefully relate to us as co-heirs with Christ as we believe and align with his will.

As a crowd of people approached Jesus because he had been healing the sick, he asked Philip a question to test him, "'Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?'" After an opening audio blog, panelists discuss this interaction that took place just before the feeding of the 5,000.

In a broad sense, all of humanity is searching for life. After an opening audio blog, panelists discuss the narrow way of searching for life in Jesus alone, how some preconceptions or motives may be obstacles to doing so, and God's promise in Jeremiah 29:13 to be found by those who seek him with all their heart.

Jesus mentions several witnesses in John chapter 5. Panelists discuss the gravity of being a witness, the value of one's unique sphere of influence, and how Jesus can be found—or missed—in contemporary ministries just as he was in the Old Testament Scriptures.

After an opening audio blog, panelists discuss how death is not the end of one's existence. Jesus said, "all who are in the tombs will hear his voice." How do Jesus' words affect our understanding of death and life? How does the Bible portray these as binary choices? How does worldly culture downplay true freedom while normalizing depravity as a seemingly acceptable third option?

"'For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.'" Panelists discuss these words of Jesus found in John chapter 5 and consider how the Father is present in the New Testament, how the Son is present in the Old Testament, the role of Jesus as judge, the assault on fatherhood in culture, and the eternal implications of imitation.
