Episode Summary

Politics is one of those topics we often avoid—especially around the holidays. It divides families, fuels anxiety, and can feel completely incompatible with faith.

But the Christmas story tells a different story.

Jesus was born into a world filled with political corruptio...

Introduction

• God spoke through the prophets hundreds of years ago to promise the coming of the Messiah. He sent the angel Gabriel to tell Zacharias and Mary directly about their roles in Jesus’ birth. The most relatable, and enigmatic, way God spoke was through dreams—the same process we experience today. But does God still speak to us in dreams?

• I’m Brent and this is episode 67 of The Bible Unplugged. We continue our Advent seri...

Introduction

• On the fourth day of creation, God created the stars in the heavens. The light we see from the stars in the night sky could have taken hundreds or thousands of years to reach the earth. The amazing complexity of the universe was not a challenge for God. That included the creation, and timing, of the light in the night sky that pointed to the birth of our Savior.

Introduction

• God had not spoken through a prophet in 400 years. The Book of Malachi closed out the Old Testament, but not the progression of history. The events that took place in those 4 centuries prepared the nation of Israel and the world for the coming of the Messiah.

• I’m Brent, and this is episode 65 of The Bible Unplugged. We start a 5-part series on how God prepared the world for Jesus’ birth. In this episo...

Introduction

• The land of Judah lay in ruin. Massive swarms of locusts destroyed plants, vines, and trees leaving nothing untouched. The people faced economic ruin and possible starvation. In the midst of the devastation a prophet declared that an even greater event was coming. The “Day of the Lord” would be a turning point for God’s people.

• I’m Brent, and this is episode 64 of The Bible Unplugged. We examine the life and ministry...

Introduction

• The nation had enjoyed a long period of stability and prosperity under a king that had ruled for over 50 years. Many citizens of the kingdom had never known another ruler. The death of their beloved king led to a period of political and spiritual decline, but God had prepared a messenger to call the nation back to their first love.

Introduction

• Jacob wasn’t in a good place. He deceived his father, stole his brother’s blessing, and is running for his life. His past was a mess, his future didn’t look all that good, and his family relationships were shattered. What happens next is a life-changing encounter with God.

• I’m Brent, and this is episode 62 of The Bible Unplugged. We take a deep dive into one of the most mysterious dreams in the Bible. What Jacob saw ...

Introduction

• God speaks to us in the quiet moments of prayer and in profound experiences of worship. But we find in the Bible that God brings life-changing and even earth-shattering messages to His people in the silence of dreams and the arresting awe of visions. Does God still speak to us this way or do we disregard significant dreams as the result of random events or restless sleep?

Introduction

• He was a general that commanded armies and led a campaign that defeated God’s chosen people, but he had a flaw… two flaws, actually. He suffered from a debilitating illness and debilitating pride. What God asked him to do to heal both afflictions was seemingly impossible, but easy.

• I’m Brent, and this is episode 60 of The Bible Unplugged. We look at the story of Naaman, a powerful military leader who was healed of hi...

Introduction

• She was far from home, enslaved in a strange land and culture. We don’t even know her name, but the only words we know she said changed the fate of nations. God can use even the least significant people in this world to redirect history.

• I’m Brent, and this is episode 59 of The Bible Unplugged. We look at an event in the life of a Hebrew slave girl who, in spite of her captivity, chose to rise above her station in li...

Introduction

• If you’ve been involved in church for more than a few years, you’ve likely heard the Prayer of Jabez. It’s been printed on coffee mugs, bumper stickers, and in books that promise material blessings if you repeat it fervently enough. But what if that’s not what Jabez prayed for at all?

• In this episode, we will strip away the glossy interpretation and uncover what Jabez really asked for—transformation, not accumulation...

Introduction

• There were many events that had turned Peter’s life upside down. Jesus called him away from the fishing business, he denied knowing Jesus at a critical time, and Jesus forgave and reinstated Peter after the resurrection. But there was still one area of his life that God had not yet confronted.

• What we learn from Peter’s experience can transform how we reach out to people who need to know God’s love.

• I’m Brent, and t...

Introduction

• Sometimes the hardest person to convince isn’t the outsider—it’s the insider

• In Acts 10, God prepared the heart of Cornelius, a Gentile Roman soldier, to receive the message of the gospel. He was ready, but there was a problem. Peter, one of the disciples Jesus commissioned to take the good news to the ends of the earth, did not want to change.

• What we learn from the hard-headedness of Peter can inform how we should...
