Jesus didn't give us Mark 13 so we can overlay modern events on it like some apocalyptic decoder ring. He's being pastoral. He talks about some tough stuff—wars, betrayal, suffering, false teachers, and the end of days. But the heart of it is this: “How are you going to respond when this happens?” In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Ethan Vanse explore Mark 13 and living with eternity in mind.   Show Notes: Check out the message: Jesus Is Coming Back, Stay Awake! - https://youtu.be/wT-iS6qRtWE

What if the way we format and structure the Bible is actually making it harder to read? In this episode, Alex Goodwin joins The Biblical Mind Podcast to discuss how chapter breaks, verse numbers, and footnotes—while useful for study—can actually disrupt the natural flow of Scripture. Alex shares his journey from marketing to Bible publishing, how his first exposure to serious theology transformed his faith, and why modern Bible formatting has fundamentally changed how people engage with Scripture. He and Dru explore how early Christians and Jews experienced the Bible (hint: it wasn't through personal quiet times with a study Bible), why reading big sections matters, and how removing unnecessary “additives” can help us better understand the biblical story. This episode also tackles the difference between Bible literacy and Bible fluency, the power of listening to Scripture, and why engaging the Bible in community leads to richer understanding. If you've ever struggled with Bible reading, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to rethink how you interact with Scripture. We are listener supported.

Part of our Year of Biblical Literacy teaching series

Big Idea: Maturing disciples grow in biblical literacy through intentional rhythms.This week, we focused on Acts 11:19-26, exploring how consistent engagement with Scripture shapes us as followers of Christ. Biblical literacy not only strengthens personal faith but also helps us better disciple others and live out God's mission.

This week, I'm joined by Amy Senter, a former teacher and artist with a passion for making the Bible accessible to everyone.

After receiving a late-stage Lyme Disease diagnosis, she found herself questioning her faith and purpose. But through this challenging season, Amy's relationship with God deepened, and she rediscovered her passion for Bible study. Her story is a powerful reminder of how God can bring purpose and growth even through our most difficult circumstances.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 10, 2024.One of the most detrimental things a runner can do is cling to something that is slowing and weighing them down. In chapter 12, we are encouraged to lay aside every weight that would hinder us as we "run the race" that Jesus has set before us. This week we are encouraged to run well with endurance.This series is part of our Year of Biblical Literacy initiative.

This week, we're joined by Chad Veach, founder and lead pastor of ZOE Church in Los Angeles, California. In this episode, we'll discuss the inflection point when self-care becomes selfish. We'll also talk about the prevalence of biblical illiteracy in an age of narcissism, and how complaining can sabotage our futures and the foundations of insecurity. This is an important conversation to have, especially in today's world where mental health is often overlooked. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 3, 2024.How would you define "faith"? That word is so foundational to following Jesus and so familiar to us, that we sometimes lose its power and meaning. This week, we look at Hebrews 11 to clarify what that means and how it enables us to endure whatever we face.This series is part of our Year of Biblical Literacy initiative.

Earlier this year, the American Bible Society released their fourteenth annual State of the Bible report, which is put together to track cultural trends in the United States regarding spirituality and engagement with the Bible. This year's report shows some encouraging trends regarding Gen Z – those born between 1997 and 2012 – and their relationship with the Bible. The folks at the American Bible Society rightly report that we live in a busier and busier world, which leads many to put their Bible's aside or never engage in bible reading at all. This has led to a decrease in Bible reading among the younger generations in recent years. However, this year's report tells us that fifty-four percent of Gen Z adults, ages eighteen to twenty-seven, agree that the message of the Bible has transformed their lives. That's up from fifty percent in the prior year. Parents, this trend is sure to continue if we each make regular time to read the Bible with our children, thus fulfilling our calling to nurture our kids in the faith.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 27, 2024.This week, we look at one of the most foundational concepts in the Old Testament: the temple, the priests, and the sacrifice. Even though, we don't use the sacrificial system in the same way as the people of God did in the Old Testament, learning about this system helps us to know, appreciate, and cherish our Savior.This series is part of our Year of Biblical Literacy initiative.

In this episode, Victoria Adeoye of The Gospel Alone podcast interviews Wanjiru Ng'ang'a, coordinator of Project Priscilla, on the vital role of theology in women's spiritual growth. Drawing from her journey through the Word of Faith and Hyper-Charismatic movements, Wanjiru shares her insights on why many women in the church remain theologically under-equipped and vulnerable to false teachings. Beyond highlighting the problem, Wanjiru also offers practical, actionable steps for women who want to deepen their understanding of Scripture and build a solid theological foundation for their lives. Tune in to discover why it's essential for women to passionately pursue a deeper knowledge of God's truth and how this pursuit can transform their walk with Christ!

Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 20, 2024.During the warning to not harden our hearts, the author of Hebrews calls us to take responsibility for each other. Sin's deception is so threatening that we need to rely on and support each other so we can be protected from the temptation to fall away. This series is part of our Year of Biblical Literacy initiative.

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on October 13, 2024.This week, we look at Hebrews 3:7-19 which includes a repeated call from an Old Testament story: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." What is the nature of that rebellion, and how is hardening your heart spiritually dangerous? How can we guard our hearts from the deceitfulness of sin?This series is part of our Year of Biblical Literacy initiative.

Sermon by Jon Jamison on October 13, 2024.Many believe that Paul was the most influential Apostle.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 6, 2024.The book of Hebrews has multiple strong warnings to not harden our hearts and fall away from God.

Sermon by Jake Blair on September 29, 2024.We began our new series last week discussing how Hebrews cites Old Testament occurrences and ideas that all culminate in the person of Jesus. This week, as we look at Hebrews 1-2, the author cites an Old Testament concept that is profoundly significant to understanding who Jesus is.This series is part of our Year of Biblical Literacy initiative.

Sermon by Andrew Flowers on September 22, 2024.Near the tail end of our Year of Biblical Literacy, we come to the rich, dense book of Hebrews. It's full of callbacks and history, threads pulled from all across the Old Testament. The author assumes intimate knowledge of the old covenant –the sacrificial system, the tabernacle, the promised land–and then shows that they were incomplete, only “copies and shadows.” Each is an arrow pointing to Christ, who himself becomes the mediator of the new covenant–the perfect high priest, the meeting place between God and man, the source of eternal rest for those united to him.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on September 15, 2024."n our world, we often seek approval, esteem, and recognition from others through our social interactions.

Previously puritanical evangelicals are increasingly embracing profanity and lewd content. A recent New York Times article explores possible explanations ranging from politics and the culture wars, to the internet and the decline of churches. Also, fewer people are reading books, and that's a challenge for Christian traditions rooted in literacy, education, and the Bible. How do we make disciples in a post-literate culture? Then, more people are comparing our divisive culture to America just before the Civil War. Are we heading toward a national divorce—or worse? Historian Tracy McKenzie is back to share lessons and warnings from 19th century America.
