Episodes
The devil often tempts us to believe God doesn't care about our suffering. Is God loving? Is He trustworthy?
In this episode, we're looking at the significance of the incarnation of Jesus Christ. How does Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and ascension relate to spiritual warfare and the authority believers have in Christ?
Through Jesus' incarnation, we see God give a profound answer to the question of suffering,...
In this episode, we're continuing our biblical foundations of spiritual warfare series with a look at the kingdom of darkness from both the Old and New Testament perspectives.

"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves" James 1:22 ESV.
We've reached the close of our 3-2-1 Bible Study Method series, and the topic of the episode is APPLICATION. The goal isn't to master the Bible but for the Bible to master us. Once we've done the work of observation and interpretation, it's time to apply what we've learned.
In this episode, we're looking at ...
In this episode, we peer through three lenses of biblical interpretation. Each lens represents a phillosophy of sorts for how to approach interpretation, now that we've made our observations (see prior episodes). Lens #1 is INTENT. Understanding the author's intended message is key to accurate interpretation. Lens #2 is INERRANCY. Understanding that the Bible is true is key to accurate interpretation. Lens #3 is INQUIRY. ...
Welcome, Bible Study Detective!
In this episode, we're wrapping up the S.T.O.R.I.E.S. Checklist with a deeper look at "Edits" and "Shifts." You'll learn what editorial comments are and how they open doors to understanding the biblical text. You will also discover how recognizing subtle (and not so subtle) shifts in the author's writing helps us move toward our goal of uncovering the author's i...
This week we're continuing to unpack the Bible Study observation checklist S.T.O.R.I.E.S. with a deeper look at the clues of Order, Repetition, and Introductions.
"Order" is about the arrangement within a passage and within its larger text.

This week is all about the Bible study checklist we remember with the acrostic S.T.O.R.I.E.S. When you approach the text of Scripture, what key things should you be looking for in how the text is put together? We hope this observational checklist helps you be a better Bible study detective! Here is an overview of the clues you'll be looking for: Speeches, Terms, Order, Repetition, Introductions & Conclusions, Edits, and Sh...
In this episode, we continue our discussion of the 3-2-1 Bible Study Method, focusing on the principles of selection and arrangement in biblical texts. We explore how understanding these concepts can help us practice interpretation with an aim to find the author's intended message. Our conversation also touches on the importance of recognizing biases and worldviews, using the books of Samuel-Kings and Chronicles to illustrate ...
In this episode, we introduce the 3-2-1 Bible Study Method: 3 steps, 2 strategies, and 1 checklist for effective Bible study. This week we are giving special attention to the three steps: Observation, Interpretation, and Application.
We emphasize the importance of understanding the author's intended message by looking for clues in our observations, paying attention to how each step builds off of the next, and staying in convers...
If there is one bias we definitely want to know, it's God's. We believe God is the author of reality. As such, we we want to see the world, ourselves, and our situations as He sees everything. What better place to start tuning our worldview lenses than a study of His Word?
In this episode, we discuss the WHY of Bible study, the role of the Holy Spirit, and how this all fits into heart-focused disciplesh...

He Is Risen! Happy Easter Monday!
So much of our sense of identity is formed faster than conscious thought. Do we have to just deal with what we're given, or do we have agency in our identity and maturity formation?
This week we're bringing together brain science and biblical identity formation, talking about finding our heart values, building a tower of truth, and more.
Join us on the trail!

Happy Easter Week!
Your sense of identity is deeper than what you can express in words. Last week we talked about the Fast Track of the brain that processes some of this nonverbal understanding. This week, we're looking at the brain's "mirror neurons" to deepen this understanding.
Mirror neurons learn about "me" by looking at "you." This is one of the reasons why community and relationships wit...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
