John 12

The Regular Guys Bible Study

Have you ever bellowed a hymn so off-key you felt a kinship with Peter's sinking faith on the waves? That's where Ken and I begin our latest podcast foray, drawing parallels between our own spiritual stumbles and the biblical tales that resonate with our journey. We saunter through John 12, where Mary's perfume-laden tribute to Jesus stirs more than just the air—it ignites a discourse on devotion and betrayal that weaves through the laughter and lessons in our discussion. And don't miss out on the high school memory that Ken shares, lightening the mood as we tackle the heavier themes within the scriptures.
Ken and I know the unexpected can bring both confusion and clarity—like the time I spotted a donkey at church, a moment as peculiar as it was profound. We recount personal tales of misinterpretation and the eventual understanding of God's intricate plans. As we reminisce, we weave in the biblical narrative of expectation versus reality, and how hindsight often illuminates what once was murky.
Wrapping up, we're candid about our challenges, from technical slip-ups to the inner conflict of seeking human praise versus divine approval. We examine Jesus' foreboding words about his destiny, linking them to our own pursuit of purpose and the struggle to shine our light amidst the shadows. Before you depart, we encourage you to engage with John 13, setting the stage for our next spiritual rendezvous. It's been a ride of enriching dialogue and hearty chuckles, so join us again as we continue to translate age-old wisdom into our daily lives. Goodnight, fellow travelers.
