What do you do when you are facing a difficult situation that was not your fault. Would your response change when the situation is because of choices you've made?
2 Chronicles 20 give us the story of King Jehoshaphat who was facing a large army coming against him. How did he decide to handle it? Is that option available to use today? Andrew and Robert talk about believing the promises of God even in 2025.
Could you imagine what life would be like without sin? Could you imagine what marriage would be like without sin??
These days we fight over so many issues between the sexes but what was God's original plan? What was God's description of what life would be like between Adam and Eve after sin.
Robert and Andrew study from Genesis 3 to tackles these and other questions.
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 we...
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...
On today's episode Andrew and Robert examine Ecclesiastes 9, to hear what King Solomon had to say about his evaluation of life as he came out of his apostasy.
Do these thoughts still resonate with us today? Should they?

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...
On todays episode Andrew and Robert examine Proverbs 10 to sweet what practical words of wisdom Solomon wrote down during his reign. Do his words still have meaning today? Are these verses still applicable to us today in 2025?

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?
Robert and Andrew read from 1 Samuel 13 and 14 and discuss Saul's nature ...
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.

The nation of Israel did not live up to the agreement that God had in mind for them through his agreement with Abraham or the commitment made with the people on Mt Sinai. But what lead to their ultimate downfall? What was it that made the people not complete their mission?
In 2 Kings 17 Robert and Andrew fine the reasons behind the downfall. What can we do, as God's people today, to avoid falling into the same tra...
Gideon was prepared for service against an oppressive foe. But how? In whose strength? And why was Israel in this position in the first place?

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.
In our third and final installment of Psalm 78 Andrew and Robert talk about how Israel's History showed God's continual love for his people. This is also a reminder for us today to look through our history and see God's love for us.

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
Continuing on with Psalm 78:22-48, Robert and Andrew discuss Israel's distrust of God despite all of what He had done for them in the past.
What about us today? Do we have the proper gratitude for what God has done for us or are we forgetting our history?

Our Solar system is large and the Milky Way galaxy even larger; almost unimaginable large. But when we think of the fight between good and evil we often only think about Earth. The Bible says the whole universe hangs in the balance.
Andrew and Robert discuss Revelations 4&5 and how it shows that the conflict for eternal life is Bigger than just the Earth
