Systems or Individuals? When Revelations makes references to the Beast, Babylon, the Anti-Christ and burning forever is John referring to people or systems of power throughout history? Daniel's dream of the statue was about governments but is Revelations speaking about governments?
Andrew and Robert read through Revelations 19 to answer these questions.
In 1st Kings 19 God asked Elijah, "What are you doing here?" Robert and Andrew talk about Elijah's experience that led him to where he was and whether he was supposed to be there.
As we enter 2026 imagine God is asking you the same questions, "What are you doing where you are?" Do you have an answer? Is where you are where you are supposed to be?
One of the best things we can do for our children, and future generations, is leaving them a legacy of service to God. In 1st Chronicles 28 we see that David, despite the problems he had encountered and caused in his life, set Solomon on the right path with the advice and knowledge

Thinking of others before yourself... that is something easy enough to talk about but very difficult for most people to accomplish.
What about helping everyone achieve their goals and dreams before you think about accomplishing your own? Andrew and Robert discuss someone in Joshua 14 who aided his whole nation before thinking about claiming his own promise.
This episode Andrew and Robert read from Roman 14 and discuss what it means to follow rules and regulations for Christians and what a Stumbling Block means. Is your behavior a positive OR a negative for your fellow believers? Can God actually hold you responsible because of someone's learned behavior from your actions? Even in the name of doing what is right??
Sometimes Sin has a long-lasting effect on our lives; whether it is due to cause an effect or sometimes just guilt in having committed the sin to begin with.
In 2 Samuel 13:21-39 we see how David's sin with Bathsheba affected him and his household moving forward. Andrew and Robert discuss the problems of doing nothing even after asking for forgiveness for the wrongs you have done.

Imagine the anger you would feel when you hear about a massive injustice done to a regular person by someone in power. Now imagine the guilt you experience when you realize YOU are the perpetrator of that injustice.
Andrew and Robert discuss the emotions that David went through as Nathan recounted David's own recent history back to him. The consequences went on to damage David's family for many years.
As Robert and Andrew near the end of Psalm 119 they notice something special and dive deeper into how it was written as a song.
The writer of Psalm 119, King David, really focused on specific areas in each section of his writing and in verses 145-160 he paid close attention to requesting a Quickening.

Ah, Ephesians 5. We focus most on, "Wives obey your husbands" and "Husbands love your wives" but there is so much more in the chapter. There are guides into how families should work together and how we should treat each others as members of Jesus' church.

Jesus says, "One of you will betray me."
The Disciples, "Is it me? Is it me?"
Jesus knew how his death would come to pass and He tried to prepare his disciples but what they were hoping would happen clouded their judgement to what was going to happen.
As we see what is going on around us are we blind, hoping for an outcome different from what the Bible says? Are we doing what Jesus did to stay on mission?
Robert and...
Andrew and Robert continue on with Psalm 119 covering verses 129-144. Verse 142 says, "Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is the truth." This is where the title of today's episode originates.
With God's righteousness being everlasting what does that say about the Old Testament where most people treat God as if he were vengeful? Do we even have a right to judge God's activities wh...
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, dangerous times.
Robert and Andrew continue with Psalm 119 covering verses 113-128. In these verses David expands on his love of God's laws. Are these psalms still effective to us today?

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??".
Andrew and Robert take a look at this story from a different view point. Even though Joseph ended up spending 3 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit he ended up well in the end....
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's leading, ...
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 our family an...
