In this conversation Jason and Phil consider the transfiguration of Jesus and the young man that Jesus healed afterwards.

Phil J joins Jason for a first reading in a new series of stories. This one is about The Woman at the Well.

In Mark 7:24–37, Jesus heals a Gentile woman’s daughter and a deaf man who could barely speak. Jason and Phil discuss faith, persistence, healing, and how these stories reveal Jesus’ compassion reaching beyond cultural and religious boundaries.

In this episode of Riverview Conversations, Jason and Phil discuss Mark 7:1–23, where Jesus confronts the religious leaders over their traditions and redefines what truly makes a person unclean. The problem, Jesus explains, is not primarily what enters the body, but what comes from the human heart. Together, they explore the tension between religious customs and God’s commands, the purpose of spiritual practices, and Jesus’ call to genuine inward transformation.

Phil and Jason explore the story of the death of John the Baptist in Mark 6:14-29.

Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth — and is met with skepticism from the very people who watched him grow up. What does his rejection there reveal about the nature of faith? Then, Jesus sends his disciples out two by two with surprising instructions: travel light, trust the provision, and shake the dust when you're not welcomed. Phil and Jason dig into both of these moments in Mark 6:1-13 and what they mean for how we live and share the gospel today.

Jason, Phil, and Tyler dig into the second half of Mark 5, where Jesus is interrupted on his way to heal a dying girl by a woman who has suffered for twelve years. They explore the intertwining of these two stories, what it means to reach out to Jesus in desperation, and the quiet, stunning moment when Jairus is told it's too late — and Jesus says keep believing anyway.
