Truth Be Told

Bad news is everywhere. We hear it from the media, from social media, and sometimes even from the pulpit. But are we so conditioned to expect bad news that we've forgotten how to receive good news?

In this episode, we explore the biblical and psychological power of renewing the mind, gratitude, and intentionally dwelling on the realities that should transform us. Drawing from Script...

Do Christians sometimes love salvation more than the God who saved them?

Salvation is one of the greatest gifts ever given—but what if it was never meant to be our ultimate goal?

In this episode, we explore a challenging question: can salvation itself become an idol when our deepest desire is simply to be safe, avoid judgment, or make it into the Kingdom? Scripture calls us to much more than self-preservation.

Men like Moses ...

Politicians quoting Scripture doesn’t automatically make their message biblical.

In this episode , we respond to a claim made by James Talarico, a democrat running for U.S. Senate in Texas, that “Jesus never asked us to worship Him” and examine what the Bible actually says about the identity of Christ.

From forgiving sins to accepting worship after His resurrection, the Gospels paint a clear picture of who Jesus c...

There has been a LOT of discussion online surrounding Bryce Crawford, Christian influencers, money, ministry, and where the line is between making a living and exploiting the Gospel.

After publicly challenging prosperity preacher Kenneth Copeland, Bryce Crawford launched an energy drink brand, announced speaking tours, and began selling high-priced tickets — leading many Christians to ask:

👉 Is this biblical? 👉 Is profiting...

In this episode, we dive deep into the parables of Jesus in Matthew 13 and wrestle with a question many Christians rarely stop to ask: are we always reading the parables the way Jesus intended?

From the Parable of the Sower and the Wheat and Weeds to the Mustard Seed, the Leaven, the Net, and the Pearl of Great Price, Jesus tells layered stories about the Kingdom of God that often r...

Why is it that some of the most outspoken atheists still find themselves praying in moments of fear?

In this episode, I’m wrestling with an idea that’s been sitting in the back of my mind for a while. I’ll be honest—I don’t love making content aimed at atheists online. It often turns combative, exhausting, and rarely leads to meaningful dialogue. But at the same time, I can’t ignore the questions...

We all want it—we want to love God, follow His will, and live lives that are clearly aligned with what He’s doing in the world. There’s something deeply appealing about the idea that we’re so in tune with God that we can confidently say, “God told me…” or “The Lord is leading me…”

But what happens when we get that wrong?

In this episode, we explore the tension between tw...

In this episode, we tackle a viral-style argument that’s been circulating online—one that lists influential women in Scripture only to dismiss them with the repeated claim: “they were not pastors.” At first glance, it may sound like a defense of biblical roles or a defense of women's ability to do amazing things regardless of whether they were pastors or not.. but is that really what...

Have you ever felt uncomfortable witnessing how someone else worships?

Maybe it's a different religion, a different Christian denomination, or maybe it's someone in your very own congregation - but I'd be willing to bet that all of us have witnessed a method of worship that makes us uncomfortable.

But does this make it wrong?

In this episode, we do a survey of humanity's problem with worship from Cain to Israel, to David, to us.

Th...

In this episode, we revisit the powerful story of the widow who gave two mites—but not in the way it’s usually told. While her act of generosity is often lifted up as a model of sacrificial giving, what happens when we zoom out and read the full context?

Just before her offering, Jesus confronts religious leaders who exploit the vulnerable. Just after, people marvel at the grandeur and wealth of the temple. Placed in th...

In Exodus 4, we read a passage that is widely agreed to be the most confusing and hardest to interpret sections in all of Scripture. 

Moses is commissioned by God.. and then, IMMEDIATELY, God seeks to kill him.

Zipporah, Moses's wife, somehow knows that MOSES is going to die because their SON is uncircumcised. She jumps into action and has him circumcised, quickly touching Moses's feet with the foreskin....what now?

She then s...

This week, we’re diving into one of the most profound, and controversial, aspects of Catholic theology: Transubstantiation.

What does it mean when Catholics say the bread and wine truly become the body and blood of Jesus? And why do so many reported Eucharistic miracles (wafers turning red or even resembling human heart tissue) raise as many questions as they answer?

From the 8th-century miracle in Lanciano, Italy, to modern ...

This week’s episode dives into one of the most chaotic, confusing, and, honestly, unsettling books in Scripture: Judges.

If you’ve followed this channel for a while, you know I love exploring typology; the patterns and echoes that point us to Jesus throughout the Bible. Once you start seeing them, it’s almost impossible to stop. They’re often beautiful, clear, and deeply compelling.

But Judges? Judges feels&...

** EPISODE 200!!**

In this episode, we explore a fascinating phrase from Jesus’s letter to the church in Philadelphia in Revelation 3:7 when He identifies Himself as “the One who holds the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens.” What does this title mean, and why does Jesus use it here?

Think Lord of the Rings. Remember Denethor, the Steward of Gondor? His role was to govern ...

In this week’s episode, I reflect on a challenging story about an old pastor I once struggled to respect. He seemed harsh and old-fashioned, often presenting a view of God that felt unkind and rigid. Yet, a miraculous story my dad shared about him—being saved from a terrifying car accident—once earned my respect. Later, I discovered that the pastor interpreted this miracle as punishment rather than grace. This rev...

In this video, we dive deep into Romans 9:6–13 and uncover a powerful theme that runs throughout Scripture: God’s sovereignty, the role of believing loyalty, and the incredible blessing we have in Christ.

When Paul writes to the church in Rome—a community made up of both Jews and Gentiles—he addresses a difficult question: If God’s covenant people were Israel, and yet so many rejected Jesus as Messiah&...

In this video, I explore Bel and the Dragon—a fascinating story preserved in the Greek version of the Book of Daniel (often included in the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books). Although it’s not found in the traditional Hebrew text of Daniel, this narrative offers a compelling window into how Jewish communities in the Second Temple period understood Daniel’s character and faith.

The story features the prophet Daniel...

​When you read the story of Paul having dreams, the Apostles performing miracles, the first Christians speaking tongues on Pentecost - do you ever feel a disconnect?

I believe, as a Christian, that I have been given that same Holy Spirit and that the same God lives in me that lived in them. Why is there such a huge discrepancy, then, between the kinds of things that happened at that time as opposed to now?

In this episode we take a...

During Noah's story, just after the flood, Genesis 8 continues the narrative with a section that has, for whatever reason, caused commentators, early church fathers, and lay-Christians to pause and ask, "Is something odd happening here that I need to pay attention to?"

Noah sends out two birds, a raven and a dove, from the ark to determine the state of the Ea...
