Spirit of God E7 — So far in this series, we've seen a pattern develop where God gives an extra measure of his ruakh to some leaders in Israel. God's Spirit then empowers these leaders to guide the people, mediate God's covenant, and speak God's words. This is what Israel's prophets are looking forward to: a future prophet-priest-king who will not only restore Israel, but all of creation. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Isaiah and Ezekiel to discover the Spirit of God's role in anointing the future anointed messiah, as well as a whole renewed humanity.

Spirit of God E6 — In the biblical story, God's Spirit fills specific characters. They are to lead and organize Israel, to be priestly mediators of God's covenant, and to prophetically speak God's words to the people. We're calling the Spirit's special anointing on these prophet-priest-kings, “the Spirit of the messiah.” In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the Spirit of the messiah in King Saul and King David,  two very different portraits of a Spirit-filled ruler.

Correction: also in chapter 3 of, Tim accidentally cites 1 Samuel 15:22 as the place where Samuel says “You, Saul, have rejected the word of Yahweh. Just like the people rejected me by choosing a king, now you, their king, have rejected me, and so he rejects you from being their king.” This sentence actually appears in 1 Samuel 15:23.

Spirit of God E5 — From the first pages of Scripture, we begin hoping for an ideal human image of God who will  be filled with God's Spirit to truly represent God's wisdom, word, and rule in the world. Characters like that don't show up often, but when they do, they're leaders who combine the roles of a prophet, priest, and king. And in these stories, the Spirit of God is often heavily intertwined. In this episode, Jon and Tim focus on Moses, the first character who fits the prophet-priest-king role and later informs Isaiah's vision of the future messianic king.

Spirit of God E4 —  So far in this series, we've looked at how the Spirit is connected to life and wisdom in the Hebrew Bible. The third most consistent idea associated with the Spirit is God's word, or speech, happening through a human; the Bible calls this prophecy. While most ancient prophecy involved deities taking over a person's mind, we see a different experience among many of Israel's prophets. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore this spectrum and focus on prophets like Ezekiel and Micah who experienced a true partnership with the Spirit as they spoke for God.

Marriage is one of God's greatest gifts - but it's also one of the places where we experience our deepest pain. In Mark 10:1 - 12, Jesus moves the conversation beyond legal debates about divorce and back to God's original design for marriage. Together we'll trace the biblical story of marriage from Genesis to Revelation, discover why Jesus points us to the condition of our hearts, and learn three simple questions that can strengthen every relationship. Whether you're married, single, divorced, widowed, or hoping to be married one day, this message offers gospel-centered hope and practical wisdom for following Jesus in every season of life. // SCRIPTURE REFERENCES //Mark 10:1–12, Genesis 2:15, Genesis 2:18, Genesis 2:24–25, Genesis 3, Exodus 22:16–17, Leviticus 18:6–18, Leviticus 20:11–21, Deuteronomy 24:1–4, Deuteronomy 25:5–10, Matthew 19:4–6, Mark 10:6–9, Ephesians 5:22–33, Revelation 19:7–9, Deuteronomy 24:1–4, Genesis 1–2, Psalm 51:10, Philippians 2:3–4, and James 1:19–20.More info at the Bible Project: https://bibleproject.com/videos/mark/ // TAKE A NEXT STEP //Want to visit or discover more about Columbia View?

When Jesus walked on the water, the disciples were afraid until they were close enough to recognize Him. The description of Peter stepping out of the boat and beginning to sink when he took his eyes off Christ serves as a powerful example. It illustrates how being grounded in God's Word helps us keep our focus on Christ rather than on ourselves. In this episode, we ask: Do we truly place our full weight and trust in God's Word and what it actually teaches? Or do we try to interpret God's Word through our own understanding?

Spirit of God E3 — We've discovered in this series so far that God's Spirit, or ruakh in Hebrew, creates and sustains all life, moment by moment. Another key way the Spirit works in the world is by filling humans with wisdom. But in each story of the Spirit and wisdom, we're left wondering: Was God's Spirit working through that person, or was that just the person? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the Hebrew Bible's portrayal of the Spirit of God and human wisdom, revealing a profound partnership at work.

In 2 Kings 17, the Lord is angry with Israel and removes them from his presence. It reads like an obituary–the end of a story with a resonating theme that God is patient and just.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Have you ever had a job that simply didn't fit you?A role that felt wrong the moment you stepped into it?A responsibility that made you think, “I'm not made for this.” It's not uncommon. Many people change jobs several times before they finally discover the one that feels like it was made for them. But let me ask you something deeper. Have you ever been in a job, or wanted a job, and someone told you, “That's not for you”? Have you ever longed for a role, dreamed of a calling, hoped for an opportunity… only to find that the door never opened? David knew exactly what that felt like. He wanted a job, a noble job, a spiritual job, a God‑honouring job. He wanted to build the temple and to construct a house for the Lord.  But God Himself told him, “David, that is not your job.” There is an enormous spiritual lesson in that moment, a lesson about calling, about purpose, about identity, about knowing our role in God's plan. Because in this chapter, God not only tells David what his job isn't. He tells David what his job is, and in doing so, He reveals something about our role as believers today. So, if you've ever wondered: What is my place in God's plan? How do I respond when God closes one door but opens another? What does faithfulness look like when God redirects my dreams? Then this chapter has something rich and life‑shaping to teach you.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

We also learned that devotion to God is not always applauded. Sometimes it is misunderstood. Sometimes it is mocked, and sometimes it is despised. But here's the beautiful truth: Even when devotion is despised by others, worship must continue. And that brings us to 1 Chronicles 16, one of the most joyful, worship‑filled chapters in the entire Old Testament. If chapter 15 was about bringing the Ark to Jerusalem, chapter 16 is about what happens once it arrives. This chapter is a call to worship, not just for David, not just for Israel, but for us. Because worship is not a reaction to circumstances, and worship is not dependent on approval. Worship is not shaped by the opinions of others.  Worship is the natural overflow of a heart that knows who God is and what God has done This chapter shows us what worship looks like when God is at the center. It shows us how worship can shape a community. It shows us how worship strengthens a believer, and it shows us how worship becomes a witness to the world. Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Most believers have experienced it, but it comes in all shapes and sizes.If you've ever felt that sting… If you've ever been mocked for choosing God's way over the world's way… If you've ever wondered how to stay faithful when others despise your devotion… Then you're in good company. Because David experienced the very same thing, in 1 Chronicles 15, David is determined to honour the Lord the right way. Not to do it casually or carelessly, and not according to popular opinion, but according to God's Word.  He learned from the tragedy of Chapter 13. He corrected his course. He humbled himself, and he led the nation in obedience. But not everyone approved. Some despised him for it. Some misunderstood him and some mocked his devotion. And how David responded, and how we see he handled the criticism, the contempt, and misunderstanding, is not only fascinating, but also deeply instructive for us today.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Because tucked inside this short but compelling chapter is a portrait of David at his best: a man walking in step with God, listening to God, depending on God, and experiencing God's blessing in unmistakable ways. And here's the remarkable thing: the blessings in David's life in this chapter are not random. They're not accidental. They're not mysterious because they flow from very specific choices David makes… Choices that you and I have to make all the time. 1 Chronicles 14 shows us: How God blesses a life that seeks Him,How God blesses a life that obeys Him,How God blesses a life that consults Him,And how God blesses a life that honours Him. This chapter is filled with examples — practical, personal, spiritual examples — of what God's blessing looks like when a believer walks closely with Him, and it's a chapter that quietly asks each of us: Do you want God's blessing in your life?So today, we're going to explore this chapter together.We're going to see how God blessed David, and God blessed David.And we will also discover how those same principles apply to us, right now, in our own lives, in our own homes, in our own walk with the Lord.So, let's open our Bibles to 1 Chronicles chapter 14….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Have you ever noticed how quickly good intentions can turn into painful outcomes when God is not honoured as He deserves?  How something that begins with joy, unity, and celebration can suddenly collapse under the weight of careless attitude or worship? That's exactly what happens in 1 Chronicles chapter 13. David has just become king. The nation is united. The mighty men have gathered. The tribes have pledged loyalty. Joy is rising in Israel like the dawn of a new day. And David's first great desire is a noble one: to bring the ark of God back into the centre of Israel's life. It's a beautiful desire. It's a holy desire. It's the right desire. But in this chapter, we discover something sobering: A right desire carried out in the wrong way can lead to disaster. If you've ever wondered why God cares so deeply about the way we worship or if you've ever asked why sincerity alone is not enough…. If you've ever felt the tension between God's kindness and God's holiness…Then 1 Chronicles 13 has something to say to you. So, let's open our Bibles, settle your heart, and join me as we explore what it truly means to honour the Lord…Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Spirit of God E2 — The word we translate in English as “spirit” is ruakh in the Hebrew Bible, and it can mean spirit, wind, breath, and mind. In multiple passages where ruakh functions as “breath,” the biblical authors invite us to reflect on God's life-giving power and also on our own frailty. Why are these two ideas so closely tied together? In this episode, Jon and Tim reflect on God's divine breath that creates and sustains all living things, including mortal human beings from the dust.

Not the ones who failed to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, but the ones God gathered around David to build a kingdom, establish a throne, and shape the future of Israel. These chapters mark a dramatic shift in the book. Saul's tragic story has ended in chapter 10. And now David's story begins. In chapter 11, we see David crowned king in the first three verses. Then he captures and occupies the city of Jerusalem. The city that will become the spiritual heartbeat of Israel. Now, if someone is simply reading through the Bible, they're going to hit this long list of names and probably think, “Oh no… another genealogy.” They may skim it. They may skip it. They may wonder why it's even there. But these names are not filler, and they should not be thought of as boring because they contain a spiritual lesson that every believer needs to hear. What is that lesson? What do these warriors, leaders, and loyal followers teach us? Well, let's open our Bibles to 1 Chronicles 11, and let's find out together who the king's men where….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Why Does God Allow Some People to Die Before Their Time. (1 Chronicles 10 1-14)Today we begin a new chapter — literally and spiritually in our journey through 1 Chronicles. For nine chapters, we've walked through names, families, tribes, and genealogies. We've traced Israel's story from Adam to Abraham, from Judah to Benjamin, from exile to restoration. And now, with chapter 10, the Chronicler shifts gears. This is considered by some an ominous chapter; it's certainly a surprising chapter, and it raises a question that many believers have asked at one time or another: Why does it seem like God allows some people to die before their time? Saul's death feels premature. It feels tragic. It feels like a life cut short, a man who began with promise but ended in disaster. And the Chronicler wants us to wrestle with that. But he also wants us to see something deeper, something personal: God is sovereign over life and death. God is just in His judgments, and God is faithful even when His people are not. 1 Chronicles 10 is not simply a battlefield report. It is a theological reflection on the consequences of unfaithfulness and on God's mercy in raising up a new king, a new hope, and a new future. Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(1 Chronicles Chapters 8&9)Today we arrive at the final movement of the great genealogies that open the book of 1 Chronicles. Chapters 1 through 9 contain three sweeping genealogies, three great family trees, each with its own purpose, its own emphasis, and its own spiritual message. The first genealogy highlighted God's covenants with Abraham and David, the covenant of promise and the covenant of kingship. The second genealogy reminded us of God's faithfulness to His people, even when some tribes were faithful and others were not. And now we come to the third genealogy, found in chapters 8 and 9. So, the question is: What is the point of this final genealogy?   Why does the Chronicler end this long section with one more list of names? To answer that, we turn to 1 Chronicles 8 & 9. Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(1 Chronicles Chapters 4-7)Welcome back to the podcast. Today we continue our journey through the opening chapters of 1 Chronicles, a journey through names, families, tribes, and stories that stretch across centuries. If you joined us for Episode One, you'll remember that we explored the sweeping genealogy from Adam all the way to the exile. Now, in Our Family Tree – Part 2, we turn to chapters 4 through 7, where the Chronicler continues tracing the tribal lines of Israel.  These chapters may look like more of the same, more names, more lists, more genealogies, but tucked inside them are flashes of story, hints of character, and moments of spiritual insight that reveal how God works through ordinary people and imperfect families. In these chapters, we meet: The tribe of Judah, with its mixture of heroes and failures.The tribe of Simeon, whose story reminds us how choices shape destiny.The tribe of Reuben, the firstborn who forfeited his privilege.The tribe of Levi, the priestly line entrusted with worship, and the tribes of Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh, and Ephraim, each carrying their own history, strengths, and scars.These chapters will show us how God preserves identity even through exile and how He weaves His purposes through both white eagles and black sheep. It also demonstrates how He honours faithfulness across generations, and how every tribe, every family, every name plays a part in preparing for His presence. So today, we're going to slow down, walk through these tribal genealogies, and discover the spiritual treasures hidden inside them. Because behind every name is a story. Behind every tribe is a calling. And behind every genealogy is a God who remembers His people.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(1 Chronicles Chapters 1-3)Today we begin our journey into the opening chapters of 1 Chronicles, and yes, that means genealogies. Long lists of names. Pages of ancestors. The kind of passages many people quietly skip over. But before you reach for the fast‑forward button, let me tell you something: These genealogies are not filler.They're not trivial, and they're not just ancient paperwork.They are the theological foundation of the entire book. Because in Scripture, a family tree is more than a list of names; it's a theological statement, and it's a spiritual map. It's a story of identity, covenant, and purpose.So today, we're going to explore the opening section — the first three chapters and discover why this ancient list of names matters for us….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Spirit of God E1 — In 2017, we released a 3-episode series on the theme of the Holy Spirit. And now eight years later, we've decided there's still a lot more to reflect on and explore! The word we translate in English as “spirit” is ruakh in the Hebrew Bible and pneuma in the Greek New Testament. The word refers to God's personal presence, but it also often refers to wind, breath, and a human's mind. So how can this word refer to God's manifest presence and energy, but also created things? In this episode, Jon and Tim kick off a new expanded series on the Spirit of God. CHAPTERS The Frequency of Ruakh and Pneuma in the Bible (0:00-13:32) The Meaning of Ruakh (13:32-25:05) The Paradox of Wind and God's Spirit (25:05-40:39) Ruakh as a Mind or Idea (40:39-53:39) OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT View this episode's official transcript.

The 10 Commandments E17 —  We just finished exploring the 10 Commandments, or the 10 Words as they're called in the Bible. In community, we've sought God's wisdom in these 10 Words, first through Jon and Tim's conversations and then with your questions in the Q+R episode! And this communal reading approach also extends to how we make videos with our animation studio. The artists start with a blank slate, wrestle with ideas from the podcast recordings, and then formulate a plan for how to make it all come to life through animation. So what is their process? How do we move an idea from podcast to script to video? In this special behind-the-scenes episode, Jon talks with a few artists from our animation studio about making the 10 Commandments video series.

#bible #Biblia #jesus #johnthebaptist Do we prioritize pleasing God in our daily lives over pleasing the world?

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Putting on the Armour of God: The Whole Book of Ephesians - Our Calling Determines Our Conduct. What determines how we should live our lives?  Some psychiatrists would say that there are unconscious forces driving our subconscious. Not everyone would go that far, but many would say that our past experiences shape our present and future behaviours.Some would simply say it is a desire for pleasure. They just want to be happy and enjoy their life, and they might say something along the lines of “ I just want to be happy”. For others, it is a drive for power or influence. They want to be in a position of influence, either through the job or by holding a position of political power.A lot of people live for possessions. They try to achieve satisfaction in life through the accumulation of things. But many find their possessions soon possess them.Many Christians would say that we don't need to be driven by these base desires and motivations, and that we can have more control over ourselves than we do over our past experiences or our subconscious mind. Many Christians believe we can rely on something greater outside of ourselves than our own resources.The Bible has many things to say about how we should live our lives, and the book of Ephesians has been particularly helpful in this area. In this book, I've been going through this famous letter of the Apostle Paul.  But now, before I finish, I want to summarise it by taking an overview of what I believe Paul was trying to get across. To try and see the whole forest as well as the individual trees, the big picture, so to speak. It's one thing to open the Bible and find a verse that is meaningful for you, but sometimes it is another thing entirely to see that verse, in its context of a paragraph, and that paragraph within the context of the book, and that is what I want to do this time. I want us to run through all six chapters of the book because this book, as much as any book in the Bible, tells us what should determine the way we should live our lives. Importantly is also tells us how to do it practically and apply it in real life….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Putting on the Armour of God. (Ephesians 6: 10-20)I think there are several ways to describe the Christian life. Even the bible describes it in different ways. If you just started reading the Bible in Genesis and continued through the Old Testament, you might conclude that what God really just wants is for us to obey him. Keep reading; you'll discover that, in the New Testament, in places like John, it refers to the spiritual life as living in Christ. Get to Luke's, and it seems to emphasize being filled with the Holy Spirit and thereby living the Spirit-filled life. However, here in the book of Ephesians, Paul uses the metaphor to describe the spiritual life as a walk, and he uses that image over and over again. If spiritual life is described as a walk in which we obey God's revealed word, living in Christ and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, what should that walk look like? We are told there is not just difficult terrain to navigate, but there are dangers in the spiritual life. The Bible tells us there are wild beasts along the way waiting to attack and destroy. In addition, the New Testament warns us that we have an adversary who stalks the believer's life journey like a hungry lion seeking to devour us. The question we are going to consider in this passage is: how do we protect ourselves along the journey that is the spiritual life? If there's a lion about to pounce on us, is there any kind of defence system that we have? Well, I believe if we study this passage closely, we will find the answer is an emphatic yes.  Paul describes the defence system for us in vivid detail in Ephesians chapter 6, beginning in verse 10. Let's hear what it has to say….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

The 10 Commandments Hyperlink Episode (E15) — Sometimes at the close of a series, we'll dig through the podcast archives to find clips that discuss similar ideas from a different perspective. In this 10 Commandments series, we explored how trusting in God's wisdom leads to true life and flourishing, while building lives on our own terms often leads to pain. So in this hyperlink episode, we'll listen to three clips that explore this theme further. First, Jon and Tim break down the literary structure of the stories surrounding the 10 Commandments, which highlight humanity's reluctance to wait on God's commands. Second, Jon, Tim, and former BibleProject scholar Carissa Quinn look at how the golden calf story in Exodus 32 relates to the 10 Commandments. And finally, Jon, Tim, and Carissa discuss how all of the Bible's poems, narratives, laws, and letters are wisdom for us.

The 10 Commandments E14 — We've come to the end of our series on the 10 Commandments, which are known in the Bible as the 10 Words. All throughout this series, we've returned to the idea that these commands are not rules to check off a list, but rather God's wisdom that leads to true life and flourishing.

The 10 Commandments E13 — We've arrived at the 10th and final commandment, which feels very different from all the ones that came before it: “Do not desire … anything that belongs to your neighbor.” While most translations use the word “covet,” we simply find khamad, which is the general Hebrew word for desire. All the other commandments involve observable actions, but desire is entirely internal. So why does God warn us about desiring things that belong to our neighbor? In this episode, Jon and Tim finish the 10 Commandments by showing how this command works as an undercurrent beneath all the others.

The 10 Commandments E12 — The common summary of the 9th Commandment is “Do not lie,” a generic prohibition against all kinds of fibs. But the commandment actually reads “Do not bear false witness,” drawing attention to a very specific kind of lying in a communal, legal setting. Many of the other commandments are more general. So why does the 9th Commandment zoom in on truth telling in public, legal settings? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the 9th Commandment, discovering its underlying value of upholding truth and justice in defense of the most vulnerable in society.

The 10 Commandments E11 — The 8th Commandment, “Do not steal,” seems straightforward enough. But why does God forbid theft in ancient Israel? What harm can come to a community where people's property is always vulnerable? And what lies beneath the surface of our desire to take from our neighbor what doesn't belong to us? In this episode, Jon and Tim unpack the eighth command, discovering its deeper invitations to contentment, generosity, and stewardship.

The 10 Commandments E10 — The short commandment, “Do not commit adultery,” assumes that every marriage is vitally important and just as worth protecting as a human life. But why is a marriage covenant so important in the Bible? The biblical authors consider marriage to be a great mystery that points to something cosmic: God's faithful commitment to humanity. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the meaning of marriage in the Bible, and how its deeper values are relevant to both married and unmarried people.

The 10 Commandments E9 — We're now entering the second half of the 10 Commandments, where God guides Israel in how to relate to one another. The 6th Commandment is often translated “Do not murder.” However, the Hebrew word translated as "murder" can also be translated as "kill," which refers to both the premeditated and the unintentional taking of human life. So is this command saying not to kill at all? In this episode, Jon and Tim unpack the sixth command, highlighting the Bible's ideal of valuing and protecting all life, even as things get increasingly complicated outside of Eden.

The 10 Commandments E8 — The first four commandments focus on relating to God, and the last five focus on relating to other humans. Right in the middle, we find the 5th Commandment, which acts like a hinge between these two sections: “Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be prolonged in the land which Yahweh your Elohim gives you.” It's the only commandment that comes with a promise and invokes both humans and God. So what is this special connection between parents and God? In this episode, Jon and Tim look at this unique command, exploring what it meant for ancient Israel and how followers of Jesus can practice it today.
