Welcome to part 4 in our theme study. In this episode we will be talking about water, and specifically how we see water used scripturally within the context of judgement and also within the context of salvation, which we call the water of life.

Welcome to part 3 in our themes study. In this episode we discuss the theme of trees  in the Bible. When trees appear in scripture, we're tempted to just see them as mere details in the story. Our argument, however, is that is most certainly not the case. Trees play important roles in the story of the Bible and play a significant role in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Join us as we dive into the Old and New Testaments and discuss...

This is the second part, but third episode, in our new themes study. In this episode we discuss the theme of wilderness in scripture. Throughout the Bible there are multiple stories where the author wants to depict spaces where human life does not flourish. These are the chaos spaces or "wilderness" places, which are adverse to the ordered world humanity needs in order to live. The great surprise of the theme is that in G...

In this episode we have special guest Timothy Brindle on to discuss the Old Testament book of Jonah. For those who grew up in the church, Jonah and the "Whale" is a classic story told and retold throughout our lives.

Join us as we discuss with Tim the various th...

For today's show we have special guest Israel Wayne on the podcast to discuss the topic of schooling from a Biblical perspective. To the surprise of many Christians in modernity, the Bible isn't neutral when it discusses education. Most succinctly put, Proverbs 22:6 says: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."

In this episode we want to make a Christi...

Join us as we work through the specif...

In this episode our aim is to tackle the Holiness and Justice of God. What does it mean that God is holy holy holy? We believe it's impossible to understand God's Justice if we fail to recognize Him as the thrice Holy God. The one informs the other.

The basic meaning of holy means set apart or unique, but as we meditate on some of ...
