About this episode
The episode discusses the reassurance of Jesus' presence during times of fear, drawing parallels between biblical events and contemporary faith.
More than a millennia has passed since God declared his name, YHWH, to Moses. For Jews living under Roman rule, waiting for the Messiah, it seems like the great I AM is nowhere to be seen. For Jesus' disciples, sailing on the Sea of Galilee on a dark and stormy night, fighting for their lives, they must have felt that even more! And it is into this picture that Jesus steps, walking on water, declaring that there is no need to fear, for he is with them, and us - and he is that one and the same I AM.
