How can two prophets, who prophesy using the words that God gave them, end up with two vastly different results? Jeremiah, when faced with adversity and threats of death, handled the situation with confidence and Urijah handled his situation with fear. But what about Eljah? When he was threatened by Queen Jezebel he ran in a fear?

Andrew and Robert discuss the differences and explain how we should handle stressful, dan...

When you look at the story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife in Genesis 39 and then  you look at the title of this episode, Squandered Blessings, you might immediately ask, "Joseph didn't sin; how did he squander his blessing??".

Sometime a person can allow others to lead them from God... Other times people decide to partner up to go in the complete opposite direction to God. Ahab was one of those who chose to align with someone who would do nothing to strengthen a relationship with God. In 1st Kings 16:31-33 it it indicates that Ahab did worse than those that went before him.

Andrew and Robert discuss a few kings that didn't follow God&ap...

Making decision has been difficult for humans for centuries. However, when God gives us directions it *should* makes thing easier. Right?

Because of the Bible providing historical accounts of people lives we have the benefit of seeing the high cost when people have not listened to God. Look at all that Lot lost because he and Abram did not follow the directions originally given to Abram? What will our disobedience cost...

What makes someone, who wants freedom from God so that they can do whatever they please, choose to be ruled by another person? 

Andrew and Robert read from 1 Samuel 8 and discuss the story of Israel's desire to be ruled by a King even when it was explained to them how badly it would turn out. And, as always, God was right. Are there parallels in the world today?

When we make decisions in life we don't often know how they will turn out what what effects it will have on us or our families later. This applies doubly then we decide to break God's laws, never fully understanding the impact. Would Adam really have eaten the fruit if he knew how many millions of people would suffer? Would Abraham have taken Haggar if he knew of the repercussions that would follow that deci...

We know that King Saul eventually turned completely away from God because he felt God was no longer speaking to him. However this change wasn't sudden. Over time he has been moving further and further away from listening for God. When did this change start? Was it always in his nature to do his own thing without checking with God first?

What does it mean that God knows everything? Does that influence what decisions we make? Are we even free to make decisions or is everything predestined by God's knowledge of the future?

The Bible has the answer to these questions and Andrew and Robert read and discuss 1 Samuel 23 to gain more knowledge on the subject.

Continuing on from Acts 9:22, Robert and Andrew finish the story of Saul's conversion to Paul of Tarshish. Or should we say God's conversion of Saul to Paul and the effect if had on the Jewish church and political leadership.

The conversion was so profound that it not only halted the persecution and killing of follower of the Way but Paul led to more to Christ, a net victory of the Lord.

Joshua had much faith in God. When he, Joshua, received instructions for the battle of Jericho he passed them on to the people without making any changes even though they seemed strange at first. March around a city to defeat it? That's not how army's normally fight! But Joshua knew that this wasn't his fight to win, it belonged to God.

What an odd statement for the Lord to say to Saul on the road to Damascus where Saul was eagerly going to harass, arrest and even participate in the killing of the Lord's people.  

What does that even mean, in Acts 9 where the voice from heave says, "...it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks."

Robert and Andrew read and discuss Acts 9:1-22
