About this listen

Open Seat is a place where we gather to discuss the glory of God revealed in the NewTestament by studying the original Greek in which it was written. We hope to bridge the gap of scholarship surrounding the study of Koine Greek, and as we host these conversations, we hope to demonstrate the beauty of the Bible's original languages. To all who are interested, take a seat with us and join the conversation today!

  • Episode 24: Reflecting on Season 1
    Apr 2 2024

    Today's Episode
    Welcome to the Open Seat podcast! On today's episode, we wrap up our first season! We take a moment to reflect on where we have been, discussing favorite episodes, highlights from 1 John, and helpful resources for studying Greek. Thanks for joining us this season, we look forward to continuing the conversation in season 2!

    Our Mission
    We recognize that the Bible was written in languages full of richness and beauty. Our goal is to explore the beauty of the New Testament, written in Koine Greek, that can sometimes become obscured in English translations. We desire to bridge the gap of scholarship and make these conversations about Biblical Greek accessible to all curious people. Whether you have studied Greek for years or you are embarking on this journey today, all are welcome to take a seat at the Table.

  • Episode 23: Sin, Death, and Jesus - John's Final Encouragement to Believers - 1 John 5:13-21
    Mar 26 2024

    Today's Episode
    Welcome to the Open Seat podcast! On today's episode, we finish our study of the book of 1 John! We discuss the importance and power of prayer, especially when it comes to praying for fellow believers and their struggle against sin. We talk about what John means by "sin that leads to death" versus "sin that does not lead to death." We close by discussing John's final encouragement, that Jesus is the True God and eternal life to those who believe.

    This concludes our study of 1 John! Let us know how you were encouraged throughout the season, and please reach out to let us know what book we should study next!

  • Episode 22: Confidence in Christ with Aaron Wells - 1 John 5:1-12
    Mar 19 2024

    Today's Episode
    Welcome to the Open Seat podcast! On today's episode, we welcome special guest and friend Aaron Wells! Aaron is a PhD student at Colorado School of Mines and an involved member at Storyline Church. Together, we study the first half of 1 John 5. First, we see that through faith in Christ we have become children of God, we have overcome the world, and we have received eternal life. We discuss how the testimony of water, blood, and the Holy Spirit confirms Christ's identity (and our identity in Christ). Finally, we recognize that true life is found only in Jesus Christ through faith.
