Water into Wine — Historic or Symbolic? Archaeology’s Answer

This week, Ryan and Brian are discussing archaeological evidence that proves the historical value of the Gospel of John. As they highlighted in Episode 18 ("The Gospels are Different -- Is That a Problem?"), the Gospel of John is different from the Synoptic Gospels, which has led some to believe that part of the content in John is not historical. However, recent discoveries are pushing against that view and that’s what we're sharing.

Ryan Sarver

Ryan was a student of Brian’s at Lincoln Christian College almost twenty years ago — not a good student, but a student nonetheless. He graduated with a degree in worship ministry and worked in the local church for several years. Now, Ryan owns and operates a video production and marketing company, telling stories for non-profits and businesses.

Ryan loves reading books on theology and engaging in conversations. He and his wife, Lauren, share two children and live in the Indianapolis area. One of his claims-to-fame is making the best popcorn ever — just ask his kids.

Ryan’s favorite movie is The Tree of Life. He enjoys all kinds of ethnic foods, as well as pour-over coffee — keep your K-cups to yourself 🙂
