Can you imagine seeing a list of all your sins? I mean every single sin you have done–and will do? For some of us, we’d be holding a ream of paper the size of a New York phone book!
Now imagine all those sins GONE.
Every one.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we're looking at the good news that God has provided a way for all sins to be gone. We can move from condemned by God to accepted by God.
Do you know what I find so amazing about God’s Word?
We can look at an obscure passage written for people in another age and discover a wealth of practical applications we can take and apply to our lives today. And I mean, right now.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re looking at three tough chapters in Leviticus. It may not be obvious at first, but if you stay with me, we’ll find a treasure waiting for us to...
Something is missing.
For most of the world, feeling “whole” is like trying to squeeze a handful of sand. The harder they clinch, the more grains slip through their fingers. Wholeness is a futile quest.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll look at an often confusing part of the Old Testament that talks about people being unclean. (It has nothing to do with soap, and it also has nothing necessarily to do with s...
Have you noticed how much space the Old Testament devotes to talking about food?
Even though the dietary restrictions and kosher laws seem irrelevant for our lives today, there’s a lot we can learn from these sections of Scripture.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re looking past the dinner plate to what these words have to do with us. (Spoiler: A LOT.).

What does the Bible actually say about Israel, and what does that mean for Christians today?
In this episode of Live the Bible, we hear from Dr. Michael Rydelnik, a radio host, teacher at Moody Bible Institute, and Messianic Jew, and look at one of the most debated topics among Christians today: how should followers of Jesus understand Israel?
This conversation goes beyond headlines and political opinions to examine what Scripture ...
Today’s prevailing opinion tells you that as long as you’re sincere, you have a seat at God’s table.
As long as your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds, the Almighty will give you a thumb’s up. But that’s not quite right, is it?
Jesus’ words, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” may sound restrictive. But if He’s right, His words are actually the key to all of life.
How often do you keep track of other people’s mistakes?
In today’s episode of Live the Bible, I begin by sharing a story I’m not that proud of—when I used to count the mistakes of my English teacher! Yep. Aren’t we glad God doesn’t do the same to us?
If you’ve ever felt like your many sins keep you distant from God, this episode offers some great, great news.
You’ve probably noticed, but balance is never a one-and-done deal.
It takes constant focus.
And it’s tough work! Oftentimes the decisions and struggles we face each day pull us in every direction, threatening to knock us off the tightrope.
But there is good news. God provides a safety net for us so even if we fall, He helps us keep going. If you need a good boost of encouragement, be sure to listen to this episode of Li...
If you’re like me, there is something you’d like to change about yourself or your life.
As a society, we’re obsessed with self-improvement. As Christians, we’re committed to it. Whether it’s exercise, dieting, or Bible reading, we’re convinced we can do better if only we give it the ol’ college try.
While there’s no shortage of motivation for getting started, maintaining a change or i...
Here’s a tough question...
What one problem in your life, if it were solved today, would make everything better?
We tend to focus on symptoms (pain points) rather than on root causes. We want to fix the problems we feel rather than what causes those problems.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we will dig past the surface symptoms to get to a root question we’ve all yearned to answer: How do we find peace? The book...
When someone does us a favor, we tend to feel obligated to pay back the kindness. It’s just part of who we are.
It’s gratitude.
Yet when it comes to God’s favor on us, we face a debt we can never repay. So what can we do to express gratitude?
This episode of Live the Bible teaches us how to respond to the overwhelming favor God has lavished on us. The book of Leviticus shows us how to express our dedicat...
God is love.
But He is more than that. The same Bible also teaches that our Lord is a God of wrath. He loves sinners, but hates sin.
So how does God choose which attribute to act on—love or wrath? And how can we know if God accepts us—for sure?
To discover the answer, this episode of Live the Bible takes us to a surprising place: the Old Testament book of Leviticus. (That’s no typo.)
If you’ve ever read Levi...
When’s the last time you received a gift that you didn’t open?
Probably never!
We can’t wait to unwrap gifts that our loved ones have picked out just for us. But often, that’s exactly what we do with one of God’s greatest gifts. It’s a gift Ruth and Naomi received in real life—in the Bible.
In today’s episode of Live the Bible, we’re turning to Ruth chapter 4 to finally unwrap t...
Think of the surprising turning points in your life.
I’m talking about those random conversations, chance encounters, and off-the-cuff decisions that seemed insignificant but ended up changing the course of your life. We might chalk these moments up to coincidence, but Scripture shows us otherwise.
Sometimes it feels like God isn’t doing anything in your life—or worse, like He’s forgotten you.
If life has ever crumbled around you, in spite of how hard you prayed, you know the feeling I’m talking about. God is the One we’re supposed to turn to with our disappointments. But where do you turn when God is the One who has disappointed you?
God can work through you.
In fact, He already is.
We know how God’s grace affects us as individuals—both for salvation and for daily life. But in this episode of Live the Bible, the practical chapter of Titus 3 teaches us how we as individuals can affect others for God.

“Be good.”
Those two words could summarize most sermons we hear on Sundays. Imagine if that’s all we heard! That would shorten things up a bit, wouldn’t it?
In this week’s episode of Live the Bible, the apostle Paul tells us in Titus 2 not only to “be good,” but also HOW to do it. The secret is the grace of God.

We could summarize most sermons in two words.
"Be good."
Yep, amen. But in this episode of Live the Bible, we'll discover why we should be good—and how we can.

Think of someone you know who inspires you. Got them in mind?
Now think of why they do. If you’re like me, we get inspired by someone’s character more than their accomplishments.
You know what? We can be inspiring people too.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we start a brand new series on the book of Titus. Paul’s letter to Titus opens in chapter 1 with secrets of an inspiring life.
What book of the Bible most intimidates you?
For a long time, my answer was Revelation. But when I finally studied Revelation the way you’re supposed to study any book of the Bible—interpreting Scripture with Scripture—it quickly became one of my favorites!
Revelation not only reveals what wonderful things lie ahead for those who believe in Christ, it also calls us to action here and now in a practical way. In...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
