In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Andrew, Ethan, and Josh dive deep into John 5:30–47, where Jesus wraps up His defense to the religious leaders—one that reads like a courtroom scene. The claims are bold: Jesus is equal to the Father, has authority to judge, and receives witnesses from John the Baptist, His miracles, the Father, and the Scriptures themselves.
And yet… the leaders refuse to believe. Why?
🎙️ This week’s episode explores:
How Jesus responds to confrontation with boldness and humility
The difference between studying the Bible and meeting the Author
Why spiritual pride blinds people—even religious experts—from truth
The danger of seeking glory from people instead of from God
What it means that Scripture without Jesus is like a map with no destination (Spurgeon)
The importance of authority and submission—even in Christian leadership
📖 Passage: John 5:30–47
🎙️ Hosts: Andrew McPheron, Ethan Callison, Josh Cobia
💡 Big Idea: You can know the Scriptures and still miss the Savior. Jesus is not just the fulfillment of Scripture—He’s the point of it all.
🧠 Whether you’re a Bible nerd or new to the faith, this episode will help you approach Scripture with reverence, humility, and a renewed hunger to see Jesus in every page.
