"What's the significance of Jesus offering living water to a Samaritan women in the context of redemptive history? John 5 centers on healing and judgment—and Jesus claims authority to give life and execute judgment. How do Jesus' claims develop John's theology of who Jesus is? What's the significance of the miracle-sign pairing of feeding the 5,000, and how does it help us read John's Gospel rightly? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Alfred Abraham talk about John 7-9 and answer these questions.

"Why does John's Gospel start with just ‘In the beginning was the Word.'? What big themes are echos of the Old Testament and help us read the rest of the Gospel faithfully? John 3 includes what might be the most quoted verse in the Bible—but the whole chapter is deeper and more complex than people realize. What do we miss if we reduce John 3:16 to just a slogan? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member Garrett Wikle discuss the first 3 chapters of the Gospel of John.

"What does Luke 23 reveal about human justice versus divine justice? When Jesus says, ‘Father, forgive them' from the cross, how do you wrestle with his mercy in a world—and a courtroom—so focused on guilt and consequences? Why do you think it matters that the resurrection is not just an event but something that reshapes how we see the whole story? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Rowe Stipe talk answer these questions and talk through Luke 23-24.

"In Luke 21, Jesus describes future upheaval—wars, persecution, signs in the heavens. How should we read these verses without falling into fear or speculation? In Luke 22, what's the significance of the Last Supper—and how does it connect to the story of redemption? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Susannah Gullette talk about Luke 21-22.

What starts as a curiosity, a light on the bedroom ceiling that seems to have no source, heralds the appearance of a huge eye that just watches and watches. Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction, Horror   Excerpt: I yelled out.  The hazel iris shifted toward me.  I slowly slid off the bed... dashed to the door, flung it open, and pulled it closed behind me.  Okay, okay, think. I have to… I had cried out. Someone must have heard. Someone would come knocking on my door. Normally I didn't want that. But right now, right now I might want that. I might want that.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. A previous story about an organ growing in the walls of someone's bedroom is “Chemoimagination.”   Creepy coincidence?One night, after I posted this story, I'd plugged in a mini-fan to charge next to my bed. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a glowing green eye on my ceiling. The fan had finished charging, and the indicator light happened to be facing up to the ceiling. And it happened to be the same shape and size of the eye I describe in my story. It didn't scare me. I immediately knew what I was. But I did sleepily think something akin to “heh, good one.”   MY FIRST BOOK (yay)Ever wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written?  I have a method.

"In Luke 18, Jesus says the tax collector—not the Pharisee—went home justified. What does that teach us about the kind of heart God responds to? Jesus talks a lot in these chapters about the coming Kingdom—sometimes it sounds like it's already here, and other times like it's still coming. How should we understand that tension?

"Luke 15 includes three parables about lost things—a sheep, a coin, and a son. What do these parables reveal about God's heart?

In today's episode, Emma Dotter and faithful Watermark member Jim Word dive into Luke 11 and 12 where we get to dive deeper into the story of the disciples asking Jesus to teach them to pray. How do these passage change my perspective on prayer? And how can we be challenged to pray better prayers in our daily lives?Additional References: Romans 8:26-27

"In today's episode, Emma Dotter talks with faithful Watermark member, Jesus sends out the 72 in Luke 10 and tells them not to worry about money or comfort. How have you seen God provide when you stepped out in faith? 3. In the story of Mary and Martha, Jesus praises Mary for sitting at His feet. Over the years, how have you learned to choose ‘the better portion'? 4. In the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10), Jesus flips the question from ‘Who is my neighbor?' to ‘What kind of neighbor am I?' Why do you think that shift matters so much?"

Surely, a beautiful old house sold at a bargain must have a sinister history.  One new homeowner is about to find out. Genre: Horror, Mystery   Excerpt: “If afterlife spirits are real, they're real whether I believe in them or not.” I shrugged. “And if they're real, I'd rather not stir them up.” “So…she felt something?”  “She said the place had a weird energy.”  “What does that mean?” I shook my head. “Frustrated….”   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode?Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on.

Genre: Horror   Excerpt: “It's like the thing from the poem that my first grade teacher told us about. ‘There Lived a Crooked Creature.' Do you know the one?

No weapon forged by human hand.'”   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on.
