Talking John - Episode 15: ”The Darkness Will Not Overwhelm”

Episode 15 - The Darkness Will Not Overwhelm

Scripture: John 8:12-59

Description: We discuss the rising conflict between Jesus and the Jewish Leaders. We also address how Chapter 8 has falsely and tragically been used to justify anti-semitism.  And we will close out this chapter reflecting on damaging theologies around suicide. If you or someone you love is considering suicide, call or text the suicide emergency number at 988.

 

Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study:

1. Why do you think it is nearly impossible for some people to choose to follow Jesus?
2. When have you had to change your perspective on something? How did you go about making that change?
3. What is a belief or perspective that you have that you would never give up? Why would you not give it up?
4. When have you seen the Bible used to justify perspectives that seem contradictory to what God wants for us?
5. What does it mean to you to realize that the church no longer condemns those who die by suicide?
