In this episode, biblical scholar and founder of Walking the Text, Brad Gray joins the podcast to talk about his new book Bringing Heaven Here, and his new feature film now airing on Angel Studios called The Lord's Prayer. Brad joins us to talk about what fascinated him so much about the Lord's Prayer, why it's the heartbeat of Jesus' entire ministry, and how it applies contextually to our lives today. As Brad says, “Salvation is never the end game, it's just the beginning.”Brad helps us as families begin to see how we can lead our kids to partner with Jesus in bringing heaven here.**Now playing on Angel Studios, The Lord's Prayer.

Most of us learned the Lord's Prayer before we understood what it was doing. It became a ritual, something recited rather than lived.  But when Jesus' words are returned to their original world - the Jewish people under Roman rule, the long ache for redemption, the hope of a coming kingdom - the prayer opens up in ways most modern readers have never seen. It becomes less a mantra and more a mission. In this conversation with Brad Gray and Brad Nelson of Walking the Text, we explore why context is not a luxury but a lifeline.  Jesus wasn't offering a poetic devotional. He was giving His disciples a framework for partnering with God, joining the story that began in the Exodus, and learning to embody the kingdom He announced.  Every line reaches back to Israel's history and forward to God's future, shaping a people who would carry His reign into the world. From the clash of kingdoms under Rome, to the Jewish practice of communal prayer, to the way the early disciples finally recognized the kingdom at Shavuot, this episode invites us to see the prayer not as ancient words but as a daily blueprint.  This is what it means to bring heaven here - to live as a people formed by the Father, trusting His provision, forgiving like He forgives, and resisting the powers that distort His world. Key Takeaways Context is not extra; it's everything. Jesus assumed His listeners knew the Jewish, historical, and literary world behind His words. The Lord's Prayer sits at the “center of the center” of the Sermon on the Mount - Matthew's way of spotlighting Jesus' mission. Every phrase echoes the Exodus story and frames Jesus as the new Moses leading a new Exodus. “Daily bread” held layers: Israel's wilderness manna, Rome's grain system, and the hope of Messiah's provision. Ancient Jewish prayer was communal, formational, and participatory - not merely expressive. Jesus' kingdom message is not about escaping earth but joining God's work of renewing it. Salvation isn't the finish line; it's the starting point for disciples who bring God's reign into the world.

Something that is a passion of ours is truly reading the Word of God in the proper context so that you get everything out of it that is intended. This episode is a part of a 6 part series called Biblical Lenses that will equip you to read the Bible in the way it was intended to be read. We will go over the "Literary" lens in this episode. The questions to ask while reading the Bible through the Literary lens is: What type of genre is this? What's it's literary design? Are there parallel stories? Meaning, does this story have echoes to other stories? We are teaching these lenses and truths from Brad Gray's ebook: "The #1 Mistake Most Everyone Makes Reading the.

The questions to ask while reading the Bible through the Linguistic lens is: What words appear to be significant (pay attention if key words are repeated)? How do other translations translate it? What does the word mean in its original language? Is the word communicating anything visual (Hebrew and Greek often have word pictures associated with keywords) or a cultural value?

This episode starts a 6 part series that will equip you to read the Bible in the way it was intended to be read. We will go over the lens of "Geography" in this episode. The questions to ask while reading the Bible through the geographical lens is: Where are we on a map? What do we know about this location? Are we dealing with mountains, valleys, deserts, etc.? Is this an urban or rural setting? Who lives there? What are they like? Who's the ruling authority? What's the flow of traffic like around the area? Has anything happened in this location before? (Extremely import- ant question to ask because geography holds memories, and stories connect to other stories through the geographical location. Jesus, in particular, was intentional about doing specific things at specific lo- cations to link himself to Old Testament stories.)

Our amazing friends, Zach and April, join us in this podcast as we discuss the truth of the text and how context matters when we read it. Without context, we are just picking and choosing scripture as we need it to be read and miss the life-changing message of God's Word. We need to learn to read truth in context and then let it transform us! We often read scripture because we are looking for something and not to just let it transform us. Things have to change!
