Thomas gets a bad reputation, but this passage is about something far more profound than doubt. In John 20:19–31, the resurrected Jesus appears twice: once to the disciples huddled behind locked doors, and a week later to Thomas. In doing so, he reveals a stunning truth: the risen Christ still bears the marks of the cross.

What did Jesus mean when he said "It is finished"? Was it defeat — or completion? In this Maundy Thursday episode of I Love to Tell the Story, hosts Rolf Jacobson and Kathryn Schifferdecker are joined by Johannine scholar Karoline Lewis to unpack three of the seven last words of Jesus as recorded uniquely in John's Gospel. Drawing from John 19:23–30, they explore the profound theological layers woven into Jesus' final moments on the cross — and why John's telling is unlike any other.

This episode is ideal for preachers, ministry leaders, and Bible study groups preparing for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Whether you're preaching the Seven Last Words, walking a congregation through John's extended Passion narrative, or simply seeking richer engagement with the crucifixion story, this conversation offers scholarly depth and pastoral warmth in equal measure.

In this episode of the 'I Love to Tell the Story' podcast, hosts Karoline Lewis, Rolf Jacobson, and Kathryn Schifferdecker explore the themes of kingship, power, and truth as presented in the Gospel of John, particularly focusing on Jesus' trial before Pilate. They discuss the contrast between worldly power and the kingdom of Jesus, the nature of truth, and the choices presented to the people during this pivotal moment in the narrative.

In this Third Sunday of Lent episode, Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Karoline Lewis explore Peter's denial in John's Gospel—a moment that reveals something deeper than we often recognize. Unlike the synoptic gospels where Peter denies knowing Jesus, John's account presents a more profound crisis: Peter denies his own identity as a disciple.

The hosts unpack how John's unique telling positions Peter's three denials ("I am not") against Jesus' bold declarations of identity ("I am") happening simultaneously inside Annas's courtyard. While Jesus speaks openly before authorities, Peter—interrogated by a servant woman at the gate—cannot claim who he truly is. The garden reference, unique to John's Gospel, connects this moment back to the place of intimacy and friendship where Jesus often met with his disciples, making Peter's denial even more poignant.

Karoline Lewis highlights crucial details that preachers might miss: the gatekeeper who questions Peter is the feminine version of the gatekeeper in John 10 who recognizes the good shepherd, yet here Peter is not known. The charcoal fire warming Peter appears again in John 21 when the resurrected Jesus prepares breakfast and restores Peter through the threefold "do you love me?" question—offering redemption rather than shame.

Rolf shares a powerful sermon illustration from Will Willimon about hearing "the cock crow" after witnessing racism and failing to act, connecting Peter's denial to our own moments when we fail to follow Jesus in the face of injustice. The episode challenges listeners to consider: When do we deny our own discipleship? When do we fail to be who Jesus has called us to be?

This episode is essential listening for pastors preparing Lenten sermons, Bible study leaders, seminary students, and anyone seeking to understand the distinctive features of John's passion narrative as we enter the heart of the Lenten season.

Discover why the foot washing appears after dinner rather than at arrival, what connects this scene to Mary's anointing of Jesus in John 12, and why this act of love is directed toward both faithful disciples and those who will betray and deny him. Karoline Lewis explains the unique chronology of John's Gospel, where chapters 13-17 cover a single night—the same narrative space that chapters 1-12 use for three years of ministry.

In This Episode:

* The cultural context of foot washing and why Jesus performs this act after the meal

* How Mary's anointing of Jesus in John 12 foreshadows and connects to the foot washing

* Why there's no Lord's Supper in John's Gospel and what replaces it

* The theological significance of "loved them to the end" (εἰς τέλος - eis telos)

* Why Jesus washes the feet of Judas (his betrayer) and Peter (his denier)

* The relationship between the foot washing and the love commandment

* Personal stories of servanthood that embody Jesus' example

* Whether foot washing should be considered a sacrament

Join Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Karoline Lewis as they explore one of the most profound narratives in John's Gospel: the raising of Lazarus (John 11:1-44). This episode examines the seventh and final sign in John's Gospel—a passage that reveals not only Jesus's power over death but also his deep solidarity with human grief and loss.

The hosts unpack why this 44-verse narrative dedicates so much space to grief and death itself, rather than rushing to the miraculous sign. Caroline Lewis highlights a crucial theological insight: Jesus declares "I am the resurrection and the life"—two distinct promises, not one. Resurrection points to our future hope, while "the life" speaks to abundant life available in relationship with Jesus here and now.

The episode explores the poignant words spoken by both Martha and Mary: "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." This lament echoes through our own experiences of loss and absence. The hosts discuss the significance of Jesus weeping—not just shedding a tear, but sobbing, crying an "ugly cry" over death's reality.

The hosts offer concrete suggestions for proclamation, including the use of reader's theater scripts to bring the multiple voices to life, considering breaking up the reading with brief preaching segments, and remembering not to ask congregants to stand for the entire lengthy gospel reading. They discuss how this passage serves powerfully at funerals, offering the promise that the Good Shepherd will call our names even when we are "deader than dead."

This episode is essential listening for pastors preparing Lent 1 sermons (February 22, 2026), ministry leaders facilitating Bible studies on John's Gospel, and anyone seeking deeper understanding of how Jesus meets us in our grief and loss.

Join hosts Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker with Johannine scholar, Karoline Lewis for an unexpected take on Ash Wednesday through John 10:1-21, the Good Shepherd discourse.

Karoline reveals a crucial connection: Jesus' Good Shepherd discourse is his own interpretation of the healing of the man born blind in John 9. The man has already lived out this imagery—following Jesus' voice despite opposition and finding abundant life. This isn't abstract theology; it's enacted truth the listeners just witnessed.

Why This Text for Ash Wednesday?

While typically an Easter season passage, John 10 speaks powerfully to Lenten themes. Jesus' statement "I lay down my life in order to take it up again" (v. 17) previews the passion we're journeying toward. Ash Wednesday confronts us with mortality, yet this text paradoxically points beyond death to resurrection and abundant life.

The shepherd metaphor carries messianic weight—"shepherd" was royal language in the ancient Near East. When Jesus declares "I am the good shepherd," he's making claims about divine kingship his audience would immediately recognize.

This text overflows with themes: abundant life, sacrificial love, discipleship, dual shepherd/gate imagery. The hosts discuss focusing strategies for a single sermon, addressing the pastoral challenge of the hired hand reference, and connecting Jesus' garden arrest to this discourse—where he both protects his disciples and surrenders himself, acting as both gate and shepherd.

Perfect for pastors, ministry leaders, seminary students, and anyone following the Narrative Lectionary.

Join hosts Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Karoline Lewis as they explore two powerful healing narratives from the Gospel of John. In this episode, they examine Jesus healing the royal official's son (John 4:46-54) and the man ill for 38 years (John 5:1-18), uncovering what these signs reveal about faith, obedience, and life in relationship with Jesus.

Key Insights:

* The importance of following Jesus' word even before seeing results

* How translation choices affect our understanding (Greek present tense: "your son lives" vs. "will live")

* Why Jesus sometimes seems uncompassionate before healing

* The pattern in John's Gospel: sign → dialogue → discourse

* Living in the "not yet" of faith while walking toward promise

* How signs point beyond themselves to Jesus' identity and the abundance of relationship

Rolf offers personal reflections on what it means to believe Jesus' word while walking through uncertainty, comparing the official's journey home to experiences of waiting through medical crises. Karoline, as a Johannine scholar, explains why Jesus challenges the crowd's focus on signs and wonders (verse 48), connecting this healing to the Nicodemus encounter and forward to later chapters.

The episode traces Jesus' movement between Galilee and Jerusalem throughout John's Gospel, noting how these healing stories bookend different geographical locations—Cana in Galilee and Jerusalem—while developing consistent themes about belief, obedience, and the life Jesus offers.

Perfect for:

* Pastors preparing sermons for February 8, 2026 (Narrative Lectionary)

* Bible study leaders exploring John's Gospel

* Anyone wrestling with what it means to believe before seeing

* Seminary students and ministry leaders seeking scholarly insights on

* Johannine healing narratives

Key Discussion Points:

- Correcting Misreadings: The woman is NOT immoral or "a woman of ill repute." The hosts challenge false assumptions about her five husbands and emphasize staying with what's actually in the text.

- Old Testament Type Scene: The well setting echoes betrothal scenes (Jacob/Rachel, Moses/Zipporah), but Jesus subverts expectations—this meeting leads to spiritual rebirth and witness, not marriage.

- Transformation Through Misunderstanding: Like Nicodemus with "born from above," the woman initially misunderstands "living water." But her openness moves her further in faith than Nicodemus—from confusion to recognizing Jesus as prophet to becoming a witness.

- She Left Her Water Jar: A powerful detail showing her transformation. She came to draw water but leaves with living water and a new vocation.

- First "I Am" Statement: Verse 26 contains Jesus' first absolute "I am" (ego eimi) in John's Gospel—given to a Samaritan woman, not to Jewish leaders. This echoes God's self-revelation to Moses in Exodus 3.

- Harvest Imagery: In the Passover agricultural context, Jesus teaches that the fields are already ripe for harvest—the woman just demonstrated immediate witness rather than waiting.

- "Savior of the World": The only time "savior" appears in John's Gospel, spoken by Samaritans after abiding with Jesus.

- Worship Planning Tip: Given the passage's length (42 verses), use reader's theater rather than a single reader. A script is available here: https://www.workingpreacher.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/NL424_John4_script.pdf

The hosts dive deep into what it truly means to be "born from above" (anothen in Greek), clarifying common misconceptions about this phrase often translated as "born again." Karoline Lewis, a Johannine scholar, explains how belief (pisteuō) in John's Gospel functions not as cognitive assent but as an active relationship with Jesus—always a verb, never just a noun. The conversation explores how eternal life in John isn't merely about the afterlife but describes the abundant life possible now through relationship with God and Jesus (John 17:3).

Discover why Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews, comes to Jesus under cover of darkness—a detail that contrasts sharply with the woman at the well who meets Jesus in broad daylight. The hosts examine the narrative function of misunderstanding in John's Gospel, showing how Nicodemus's confusion (and similar misunderstandings by the Samaritan woman, the man born blind, and even Thomas) serves as an invitation into deeper theological revelation.

This episode addresses critical preaching challenges: How do we interpret John 3:16 beyond football game signs? What does it mean for traditions that practice infant baptism to engage with "born from above" language? The hosts trace Nicodemus's character arc throughout John's Gospel, from his nighttime visit in chapter 3, to his defense of Jesus in chapter 7, to his anointing of Jesus' body in chapter 19.

Special attention is given to verse 19's crucial claim: God sent Jesus not to condemn the world but to save it, yet judgment comes through humanity's choice of darkness over light. This framing helps preachers connect ancient text with contemporary ministry, addressing how sin functions as a condition of separation from God rather than merely individual moral failings.

Drawing on Craig Koester's forthcoming commentary on John and scholarly research on the Greek term anothen, this episode equips pastors and ministry leaders with tools for sermon preparation that balance academic rigor with accessibility for congregational settings.

In this episode of "I Love to Tell the Story," the hosts unpack John 2:13-25, examining how this passage differs significantly from its synoptic counterparts. Rather than simply critiquing temple corruption, John uses this incident to make a theological statement about Jesus himself as the new location of God's presence. When Jesus declares, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up," he's pointing toward his resurrection and redefining where humanity encounters the divine.

The conversation addresses critical pastoral concerns, including how to preach John's Gospel responsibly given its history of misuse to justify anti-Semitism. The hosts emphasize Jesus' identity as a faithful Jewish male who observed Passover and the pilgrimage festivals, helping preachers counter supersessionist interpretations while honoring the text's theological claims.

Key insights include the significance of John's three Passover references (establishing Jesus' three-year ministry), the pattern of misunderstanding that characterizes responses to Jesus throughout the gospel, and the meaning of Greek terms like "pisteuō" (believe/entrust) in verse 24. The hosts also tackle contemporary applications, warning against the commodification of religion—from first-century money changers to modern prosperity gospel preachers who treat God's grace as something that can be bought and sold.

Whether you're preparing Sunday's sermon, leading Bible study, or deepening your own understanding of John's unique theological perspective, this episode offers scholarly insight made accessible for ministry contexts. Discover how John 2:13-25 proclaims good news: God's presence is not confined to religious institutions or controlled by religious authorities, but is freely available to everyone in Jesus Christ.

Key Themes Explored:

* The Book of Signs: Understanding John's unique structure (chapters 1-12) and how the seven signs point to Jesus' identity and the grace he offers

* Grace Upon Grace: How the abundance at Cana—six stone jars holding 20-30 gallons each, filled to the brim with the best wine—embodies John 1:16's promise of grace upon grace

* Honor and Shame: The cultural context of first-century Palestinian weddings and how Jesus' intervention saves a family from public disgrace

* The Role of Jesus' Mother: Mary's unique presence in John's Gospel, appearing only at the beginning and end of Jesus' public ministry, and her profound recognition of who Jesus is

* Signs vs. Miracles: Why John calls these events "signs" (σημεῖα) rather than miracles—they point beyond the act itself to reveal God's presence and power

Why This Matters for Preaching:

The hosts discuss how this narrative offers multiple homiletical directions: the experience of abundance in our lives, the removal of shame through Christ's compassion, and the call to "do whatever he tells you"—a pattern that continues throughout John's Gospel where obedience to Jesus leads to transformation and abundance.

Karoline Lewis brings her expertise in Johannine literature to illuminate how this first sign sets the pattern for Jesus' entire ministry in John and how it differs significantly from the synoptic gospels' approach to Jesus' early ministry.

Discover how the verb "finding" shapes this narrative—Andrew finding Simon Peter, Philip finding Nathanael—and what it means that we are both found by Christ and called to invite others to "come and see." The hosts explore John's favorite concept of "abiding" (menō in Greek), tracing how Jesus' invitation to "come and see where I am staying" echoes throughout the Gospel, from the woman at the well to the resurrection appearances.

Karoline Lewis illuminates how John uniquely holds together Jesus' full divinity and full humanity—the Word made flesh who comes from both God and Nazareth. Rolf Jacobson offers a fascinating deep dive into Messianic exegesis, connecting Nathanael's fig tree encounter to Zechariah's prophecy about the "branch" and revealing the Hebrew wordplay behind "Nazareth" (netzer). Kathryn Schifferdecker traces the Jacob's ladder imagery from Genesis 28 to Jesus' promise that disciples will see "angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

Whether you're preparing a sermon for Christmas or Epiphany, leading Bible study, or seeking deeper understanding of John's Gospel, this episode offers rich theological insights and practical applications for contemporary Christian life and ministry.

The hosts dive deep into the poetic and hymnic qualities of John's prologue, contrasting its cosmic, awe-inspiring message with the traditional nativity narratives. Rather than focusing on shepherds and mangers, this passage presents the Word becoming flesh in ethereal, almost haunting language that integrates both mind and heart.

This episode unpacks the multi-dimensional concept of "zoe" (life) in Greek, which encompasses physical existence, relational connection with God, communal belonging, and resurrection promise. The hosts trace how this theme of life runs throughout John's entire Gospel - from "God so loved the world" in John 3:16 to Jesus declaring "I am the way, the truth, and the life."

The discussion explores the profound imagery of light and darkness, emphasizing how people are naturally drawn to the light of Christmas Eve candles as an embodiment of humanity's deep longing for relationship with God. As Augustine wrote, "You have created us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."

In this powerful episode for the Second Sunday of Advent, hosts Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Craig Koester explore Ezekiel's stunning vision of the valley of dry bones—a message of hope for exiles who believed they were completely cut off from God.

The conversation unpacks the rich Hebrew word "ruach" (spirit/breath/wind) that runs throughout Ezekiel 37, revealing how God promises to breathe new life into seemingly hopeless situations. Unlike Jeremiah who wrote from Jerusalem to the exiles, Ezekiel himself was living in exile, speaking directly into the despair of a displaced people whose city had been destroyed and who felt abandoned by God.

This isn't just ancient history. Whether you're an individual feeling spiritually dried up, or part of a congregation that seems to have lost its vitality, this text speaks directly to that despair. As the hosts emphasize, the Israelites' lament—"our bones are dried up, our hope is lost, we are cut off completely"—represents the deepest kind of spiritual crisis. Yet God's response through Ezekiel is a vivid, visual promise: I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live.

The discussion highlights how Advent functions as a season of holy waiting and exile, longing for home. Kathryn notes Michael Chan's powerful observation that "Ezekiel's audience lives life with an open wound," and that the journey to genuine hope begins with "a hard stare into the eyes of truth." 

This isn't false optimism—it's hope grounded in the God of life who has the power to bring resurrection even from death-dealing situations.

Whether you're preparing a sermon, teaching a Bible study, or seeking personal encouragement, this episode offers both scholarly insight and pastoral wisdom for one of Scripture's most memorable visions of hope.

This familiar passage—"For unto us a child is born"—is often associated with Advent and Handel's Messiah, but what did it mean in its original context? The conversation unpacks Isaiah's prophecy during a time of Assyrian invasion, the connection to King Hezekiah's reign, and the enduring themes of justice (mishpat) and righteousness (tzedekah) that echo through the prophetic tradition.

The hosts wrestle with the tension between Isaiah's vision of endless peace and our present reality of ongoing conflict. How do we hold both the promise of Christ's birth and the "not yet" fulfillment of complete peace? Discover how prophetic hope functions not as self-generated optimism, but as a shaft of light piercing the darkness—God's future breaking into our present and pulling us forward.

The prophet Amos brings one of the most challenging messages in Scripture—calling out the disconnect between religious observance and social justice. Though he was a farmer from the Southern Kingdom, Amos was sent to speak truth to power in the Northern Kingdom around 760-780 BCE. His ministry may have lasted only two years, but his words continue to resonate today.

In this episode, we discuss: * The meaning of "The Lord roars from Zion" and Amos's prophetic mission * The dangerous disconnect between piety and justice * What biblical justice (mishpat) and righteousness (tzedek) really mean * Why Amos declares "I hate, I despise your festivals" * The call to "let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream" * How this message connects to modern calls for justice, including Martin Luther King Jr.'s use of Amos

As one of the hosts shares: "If you like the prophet Amos, you don't understand him." This episode will challenge you to examine the gap between religious practice and care for the vulnerable in our own time.

After his dramatic victory over the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, the prophet Elijah flees from Queen Jezebel's threats and travels from the northern territories all the way to Mount Horeb in the south—literally going "off the map." Exhausted and despairing, Elijah asks God to take his life, claiming he alone is left faithful to God.

But God has other plans. In a powerful theophany (divine appearance), God shows Elijah that the divine presence is not in the mighty wind, earthquake, or fire—as it was for Moses—but in the sound of sheer silence. God redirects the self-righteous prophet back to his calling, reminding him that he's not alone and that his work isn't finished yet.

The hosts discuss how this passage functions as a mirror for our own tendencies toward self-righteousness, the importance of reading it dramatically to capture its emotional depth, and how God's gracious persistence calls us out of ourselves and into service for others.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the transition from King David's reign to his son Solomon, who fulfills David's vision of building a permanent temple for worship. They examine how the temple serves as a central place where God's presence is "intensified" while not confining God to a single location - similar to how we understand the sacraments today.

Key topics covered: * The significance of the Ark of the Covenant and the stone tablets at the temple's heart * How the covenant relationship ("I will be your God, you will be my people") remains central to worship * The connection between this reading and Reformation Sunday * Personal reflections on visiting St. Peter's Basilica and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher * The importance of communal worship versus privatized religion * How sacred spaces connect us to the communion of saints across centuries

The hosts bring their expertise from Luther Seminary to illuminate how this ancient story speaks to contemporary questions about worship, community, and God's presence among us.

After the Israelites' dramatic exodus from Egypt, they find themselves hungry and complaining in the wilderness, longing for the "flesh pots of Egypt." But God responds to their grumbling with miraculous provision - sending quail for meat and manna, the mysterious "bread from heaven" that would sustain them for 40 years.

Our hosts dive deep into this foundational story, exploring themes of freedom versus security, God's faithful provision, and what it means to trust God day by day. Catherine connects this ancient story to Jesus' "Bread of Life" discourse in John 6, while Ralph shares insights about the "manna economy" - where everyone has enough and no one lacks.

Discover how this wilderness story reveals both human nature and God's character as the ultimate provider, and learn why the manna stopped only when Israel was ready to enter the promised land.

As the disciples journey away from Jerusalem in disillusionment, they encounter a stranger who reveals scripture in a new light—rekindling faith, reframing expectations, and reigniting hope.

The conversation touches on how disappointment and grief shape our faith journeys, the significance of hospitality and shared meals, and how Jesus is made known through both scripture and sacrament. The hosts invite preachers to embrace the “multimedia” revelation of the risen Christ—through emotion, intellect, and community.

The conversation highlights how Luke's narrative fulfills the Messianic promises from earlier in the gospel, with Jesus explicitly declared as "king" through the adaptation of Psalm 118:26. The hosts reflect on what kind of king Jesus reveals himself to be—not one who seeks political or military power, but one who weeps over rejection and prepares to lay down his life.

Key topics include: - The cultural context of ancient processionals welcoming dignitaries - Jesus' humble approach on a donkey contrasting with worldly power - The emotional weight of Jesus' lament over Jerusalem - The prophetic vision of Jerusalem's destruction and humanity's resistance to peace - Palm Sunday celebrations and their significance across different Christian traditions

Whether you're preparing for Palm Sunday or exploring the paradoxical nature of Christ's kingship, this discussion offers valuable insights for sermon preparation and Bible study.

Together, they unpack the Narrative Lectionary reading NL301 for September 8, 2024, focusing on humanity's divine calling to till and keep the earth. The professors explore the story of the Fall, shedding light on how it reveals our deep-seated tendency to sin and desire to be like God. They also challenge traditional interpretations that cast the story as an indictment of women, reframing it as a powerful reflection of the human condition. Throughout the discussion, the hosts highlight God's unwavering faithfulness, even in the face of humanity's failures.

changes times and seasons,     deposes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise     and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and hidden things;     he knows what is in the darkness,     and light dwells with him. (Daniel 2:21–22)

Throughout the book, Daniel is depicted as having a unique relationship with God and a special ability to discern and interpret the mysteries that God reveals. He is uniquely gifted in understanding and explaining the divine visions and messages that are central to the apocalyptic sections of the book.

By examining these five texts in detail, this commentary aims to provide a deeper understanding of the historical context, literary genres, and theological themes that are woven throughout the book of Daniel.

This preaching series suggests four weeks for this text. If you have longer, you may wish to take a Sunday for each petition and possibly one for the address, “Father,” which is immensely rich but also immensely difficult for some. Following the four-week program, I have focused on the grounding of the prayer in our love for God, with a week for the address and for each of the first two petitions, then a week for the three petitions related to love for neighbor and self.
