In Week 29 of The Follow Up, Bill Van Kirk sits down with Adam Jackson and Arlen Chastain to wrap up the Gospel of John and reflect on the final verses of the book. Together they talk about the central theme of belief, the theological depth of John, the grace Jesus shows to broken people, and how the Gospel keeps revealing Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, and the only source of life. It’s a thoughtful conversation about what it really means to believe, why abiding in Christ matters, and how John’s Gospel moves us from mere agreement with facts into real trust and surrender.

In Week 28 of The Follow Up, Bill Van Kirk, Jack Guerra, and Jeff Pittman unpack John 21 and the restoration of Peter. They talk about the charcoal fire, why Jesus takes Peter through a process instead of just saying “we’re good,” the difference between forgiveness and restoration, and how comparison can quietly pull us off the path God has for us. It’s a practical, grace-filled conversation about hearing Jesus in dark seasons and following Him faithfully.

Good Friday 2026 — Bellevue Campus. Series: That You May Believe: The Gospel of John.

Bill sits down with Pastor Jack and Pastor Arlen to unpack John 18, the night of Jesus's arrest. All three pastors preached this passage over the weekend, and they bring different angles on what it means that Jesus was in complete control the whole time. The conversation covers why we often frame the arrest wrong, the dramatic contrast between Jesus's courage and Peter's denial, and the beautiful detail of the charcoal fire that John uses to connect Peter's worst moment to his restoration in chapter 21. They also celebrate the Lawrence Campus hard launch and challenge listeners to be intentional as they walk through Holy Week. Note: The Follow Up will not air next week. Staff are off for Easter Monday. We will be back the following week. Main Passage: John 18:1-27 Series: The Follow Up - Gospel of John Week: 26
