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.

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!

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.

Welcome to the Open Seat podcast! On today's episode, we conduct a word study on the four different words for love in the Koine Greek language. We discuss the differences between the four types of love, examples of where they occur in the Bible, and why it is helpful to have four different words for love. We also set the stage for next week when we will get to discuss the famous phrase, "God is love." We look forward to next week and hope you'll tune in!

Today's Episode
Welcome to the Open Seat podcast! On today's episode, we welcome special guest and friend, Chase Karraker. Chase works in the Residence Life office at Colorado Christian University and is passionate about psychology and music. Together we discuss the beginning of chapter 4 of 1 John, discussing the spiritual world and how we know the spirit of truth. We also contrast the voice of God with the voice of the world and find encouragement knowing that "he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."
