<description>&lt;p&gt;Too often, John 3:16 is taught as a stand-alone verse outside the context of the larger story. In this episode we'll put that verse back where it belongs, as part of a conversation Jesus had with Nicodemus. As we'll find out, John 3:16 doesn't mean what you think it means.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

21) The tale of Nicodemus: A myth about Jesus' death, belief, and eternal life

<description>&lt;p&gt;The story of Zacchaeus is a familiar one to most of us who grew up attending Sunday school. But we weren't taught the significance of Zacchaeus' radical transformation. In this episode we will unveil the truth behind why Jesus declared Zacchaeus saved even before Jesus was crucified.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

20) The tale of Zacchaeus: Salvation despite the cross

<description>&lt;p&gt;Did God personally write every word in the Bible? Does the Bible itself claim to be written by God? How does the Bible define "God's Word"? In this episode, we'll take a deep study into what the Bible has to say about itself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

19) Is the Bible God's Word?

<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode we will unveil the truth behind why Jesus was died. Did he commit suicide or was he murdered in cold blood? Was it God's will for Jesus to die? Or did sinful people kill Jesus because of their disobedience to his Word?&lt;/p&gt;
