Subscribe at any of our $5, $10, or $15 per month tiers to gain full access.

This new venture is a verse-by-verse deep dive into the Gospel of John. The Gospel of John is the 'theological gospel' that brings us behind the curtain to see what the gospel of Jesus Christ means at its deepest level. We have spent the last year carefully dissecting each passage of the gospel in the form of an audio commentary that we are thrilled to share with you.  

This is the introductory episode and we will also be releasing the first episode also as a preview of the full podcast. Here is how you can listen to the full podcast: subscribe to our Patreon account at patreon.com/wordandtable and you will get access to our Word & Table Members podcast.

The Word & Table Members podcast is an exclusive feed for Patreon members, and will include the entire Gospel of John series, and more to come in the future. When you subscribe, you can then add the members-only RSS feed to your favorite podcast app, so you can get updates every time we release a new episode of the Gospel of John. Here is a guide that will help you do that.
