I AM: Understanding the Identity of Jesus with David Guzik GET THE STUDY BIBLE In Episode 137 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane are joined by Bible teacher and author David Guzik for a rich conversation on the powerful “I AM” statements found throughout the Gospel of John. From “I am the Bread of Life” to “I am the Good Shepherd,” these declarations reveal the nature, authority, and divinity of Jesus in profound ways. Together, they unpack the Old Testament significance behind these statements, what they reveal about the heart of God, and how each one invites us into deeper trust and intimacy with Christ. David brings pastoral wisdom and biblical insight that will help listeners not only understand these passages more clearly—but encounter Jesus more personally. If you've ever wanted to know Jesus more deeply through the Gospel of John, this episode is for you. David is the teaching pastor at Calvary Chapel of Santa Barbara, husband to Inga-Lill, and a former missionary to Germany. He's best known for his extensive Bible commentary, which you can access for free at EnduringWord.com.  Reflection Question: Which “I AM” statement of Jesus speaks most deeply to the season I'm in right now—and why? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams Connect with David Guzik: Website: enduringword.com ____________________________________   Get Jamie's Newest Book: Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

Special Study: Slavery in the Torah    Laws concerning slavery appear in several places in the Torah (the Pentateuch). This can be troubling, since slavery is a persistent human evil. In this special study of The Listener's Bible Commentary, we give one guiding principle and six considerations that help us hear the slavery laws as the were intended to be heard. Our goal here is to prevent misunderstanding and promote a more full and accurate understanding because it's too easy and too common for people to read what the Bible says through the lens of our modern experience and misunderstand what the Bible is actually communicating.    BIBLE READING GUIDE - FREE EBOOK - Get the free eBook, Bible in Life, to help you learn how to read and apply the Bible well: https://www.listenerscommentary.com     GIVE -  The Listener's Commentary is a listener supported Bible teaching ministry made possible by the generosity of people like you.

What if the bravest response to hostility is blessing, not backlash? We walk through 1 Peter's charged call to unity of mind, tender hearts, and humble courage, then push into what it looks like to resist the urge to retaliate when words cut and reputations get dragged. With Psalm 34 as a compass, we map how seeking peace and refusing guile aren't naïve ideals but battle-tested disciplines that draw their strength from a bigger story.From there we tackle the hard part: doing good can still invite suffering. So we re-center on sanctifying Christ as Lord in our hearts, learning how reverent fear steadies us when threats rise. We talk about giving a reason for our hope without scorning the people asking for it, pairing clarity with meekness and a conscience clean enough to outlast slander. This isn't about winning debates; it's about becoming a kind of person whose integrity turns accusations into ash.To ground that vision, we follow Peter's sweep through Christ's once-for-all suffering, his life in the Spirit, and the proclamation of victory that reaches even the “spirits in prison.” We unpack the Noah thread and show how baptism corresponds—not as a mere washing, but as an appeal for a new conscience through the power of the resurrection. The thread pulls tight at the end: Jesus reigns at the right hand of God, with angels and authorities under him. That's why we can bless enemies, seek peace, and hold our nerve. If this conversation strengthens your courage and clarifies your hope, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a review telling us where you're learning to answer with gentleness today.Questions about Orthodoxy?

Psalm 100 Celebrate With Joyous Excitement (vv. 1-3) The rejoicing The reason Celebrate With Grateful Engagement (vv. 4-5) The gratitude to God The glorification of God More to Consider This psalm is just like a great doxology. There are many doxologies in the Word of God. Believers can sing the one in Ephesians 1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. God has been good to us. He has given us all spiritual blessings, but some of us do not avail ourselves of them; we are keeping them in cold storage, waiting for a rainy day. Well, it is a rainy day todayregardless of how bright the sun is shining. Start using the blessing God has for you! Here is another wonderful doxology in the first chapter of the Revelation: Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever (Rev. 1:56). My, I dont know about you, but that just carries me into the clouds! The whole world is called upon to shout aloud their praises unto Jehovah and to sing the mighty Hallelujah chorus, because in that day the whole world will know Him.

Beginning the Journey: An Introduction to the Gospel of John with Dr. David L. MathewsonSeason Three of Divine Table Talk opens with a rich and thoughtful introduction to the Gospel of John, featuring special guest David L. Mathewson, PhD. Dr. Mathewson—associate professor of New Testament at Denver Seminary—guides Jamie and Jane through the purpose, structure, and theological depth of John's Gospel.Together, they explore why John is written “that you may believe,” how its language and themes shape our understanding of Jesus, and what makes this Gospel uniquely formative for faith and discipleship. This episode sets the foundation for the year ahead, inviting listeners to slow down, read deeply, and encounter Jesus not just as a teacher—but as the Word made flesh.Whether you're new to studying Scripture or ready to go deeper, this conversation will equip and inspire you as we begin our journey through John together.____________________________________Connect with Dr. David Mathewson:Website: https://denverseminary.edu/directory/mathewson-phd-david-lEmail David: EMAILConnect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book:Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved
