Why should Christians still care about biblical languages today—and what does that have to do with Chinese, Aramaic, and Navy chaplaincy?In this episode of the ProveText Podcast, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb talks with Dr. Scott Callaham, biblical language scholar, author, missionary, and Navy chaplain, about a life devoted to Scripture, languages, and the service of the global church.We discuss:- Why biblical Aramaic is often neglected—and why it matters- How learning Chinese reshaped the way Scripture is read and taught- The value of modern languages for biblical interpretation- Dr. Callaham's books Biblical Aramaic for Biblical Interpreters and Sacred Characters- Targums, Targumic Aramaic, and how ancient translations interpret Scripture- Ministry at the intersection of academia, missions, and military chaplaincyThis conversation highlights how language learning isn't just academic—it's pastoral, missional, and deeply formative for reading the Bible faithfully.

A viral Instagram video claims that homosexuality was added to the Bible in 1946—and that before then, the prohibition didn't exist.In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb breaks down the Greek, the Hebrew, and the actual history of Bible translation to show why this argument collapses under scrutiny.Sincerity isn't a substitute for accuracy—and social media isn't a lexicon.#Bible #Biblestudy #Viral #Video #TikTok #Instagram #Viralvideo #Podcast #Debunked #Reaction #Reactionvideo #reaction #BibleScholarReacts #BibleTranslation #GreekNewTestament #BiblicalStudies #ChristianTheology #ProveText #TheologyMatters #BiblicalGreek #ScriptureAndCulture #trending ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

What is revelation—information on a page, or a living encounter with the risen Christ?In this episode of ProveText, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb is joined by Dr. Andrew Ray Williams (pastor-theologian, Foursquare minister, and contributor to the CPT Journal) to explore Emil Brunner's theology of revelation and why it still matters for Christians today.Together, they discuss:- What it really means to call Jesus the Word of God- How Scripture functions as a Spirit-breathed witness to Christ- Why false dichotomies between Christ and the Bible are dangerous- What inerrancy debates often miss- How preaching and teaching can invite genuine encounter- Why the church must discern Scripture together, not just individuallyThis conversation challenges the idea that the Bible is merely an information source and invites believers to recover a relational, Christ-centered approach to Scripture—one that expects God to speak.

When the Bible talks about family, it means something very different than we do today.In the ancient world, kinship wasn't just emotional—it was your identity, security, and future. In this episode of the Cultural Keys series, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores how Scripture uses family language to describe salvation, the church, and belonging in the kingdom of God.God doesn't just save individuals—He forms a household.The real question isn't just what do you believe? It's who do you belong to?***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

What does it really mean to be a pastor theologian?In this episode of the ProveText Podcast, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb sits down with Dr. Gary L. Shultz (Baptist University of Florida) to explore the vocational identity of the pastor theologian—and why this calling matters for the health of the church today.Drawing from Dr. Shultz's recent article in the Center for Pastor Theologians Journal, the conversation tackles questions like:• What distinguishes a pastor from a pastor theologian? • Why not every pastor should be called a pastor theologian • How “theological anemia” weakens churches • The ministry of the Word beyond preaching alone • How theology should flow from—and serve—the local church • Why platform-building culture clashes with pastoral vocation • Practical steps pastors can take to grow theologically without leaving their callingThis episode is especially for pastors, ministry leaders, seminarians, and anyone concerned about the theological depth of today's church.

Most of us read the Bible through a guilt-and-innocence lens—but that's not the world Scripture was written in.The biblical world was shaped by honor and shame: public reputation, social status, and communal identity. In this episode of the Cultural Keys series, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores how this lens reshapes the way we understand Jesus, the Pharisees, the cross, and even familiar stories like the prodigal son.Once you see honor and shame at work, Scripture opens up in powerful—and often uncomfortable—ways.***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

Asking for what you need at work wasn't an accommodation, but a leadership skill. In this episode, I sit down with Stew Friedman, the pioneer of Total Leadership and founding director of Wharton's Work-Life Integration Project, to rethink how we approach work, life, and leadership. We talk about why so many high performers feel guilty asking for flexibility, time, or support and why leaders who understand their whole lives are actually better, more sustainable performers. Stew also breaks down the Total Leadership model, which centers on being real, being whole, and being innovative to create what he calls “four-way wins” across work, home, community, and self.

Watching and listening to ourselves can be tough, but you have to practice. Those nerves and adrenaline only show up in real situations, and working through them is how you get better." "For those of you who are speakers, please listen to this: 'You're never as great as they tell you you are, and you're never as bad as they tell you you are. You're usually somewhere in the middle.'" "We need to become the CEOs of our own career and really take it upon ourselves to be our own best advocate. Even the best manager and the best team who truly want you to do well are ultimately most concerned with themselves. So you need to take it upon yourself to make sure your hard work gets seen." "If a tree falls in a forest and no one's there to hear it, did it make any sound? If you do a bunch of great, amazing, hard work but no one's there to see it, did it happen?" "If hard work is the baseline, how do we differentiate ourselves from it? We have to start advocating for ourselves and making sure our work is known." "You have to figure out what's the best use of your time. Anybody who wants to monopolize your time has to be willing to pay for it." "If we're not able to invest in our personal relationships, no matter how great we are in business, it will never be the best it can be, because what we apply in our personal lives bleeds into our business lives." "Work on relationships with people you know will never be able to help you. Do it on purpose. If you know you're building a relationship you'll never get anything from, they'll know your motives are pure." "Relationships are like a bank account. Every time you give, you make a deposit. When you ask for something, that's a withdrawal. You never want the account to be overdrawn when you have to make that withdrawal." "Some of my favorite career advice is: over prepare, but don't over plan."

In the first episode of our Cultural Keys to Reading the New Testament mini-series on the ProveText Podcast, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb introduces the patronage system—the social and economic backbone of the ancient Greco-Roman world.Patronage shaped everything from politics and economics to daily relationships of loyalty, honor, and obligation. It also shaped how early audiences heard words like grace, favor, and faith. Long before these became theological terms, they belonged to the language of debts, benefactors, and unequal power relationships.In this episode, Dr. Halcomb explores how the New Testament writers draw on patronage logic—and then radically transform it. Through examples like Luke 7 and Paul's use of charis, we see how the gospel both speaks within this system and subverts it, revealing a vision of grace that is lavish, undeserved, and life-transforming.Understanding the patronage system doesn't diminish the gospel—it magnifies it.#bible #biblestudy #culture #grace #faith #christian #podcast #religion #gospel #jesus #jesuschrist #christianity #christ #history #education #educational #educationalvideo #scripture #new ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

Halcomb sits down with historian and pastor theologian Joey Cochran to unpack Jonathan Edwards' “harmony of the Word of God,” the history of redemption, typology, and why biblical fluency in America is far weaker than we think.

Have you ever wondered why God doesn't seem to move as fast as you want? In Scripture, God rarely works in the timeline of a single life. He works in generations. From Abraham to Mary, from Lois to Timothy, the Bible teaches us that faith is something received, nurtured, and passed on.In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb breaks down the “Generation Lens”—a way of reading Scripture that helps us see how God tells His story across centuries, family lines, and communities of faith. #BibleStudy #SpiritualGrowth #Legacy #FaithJourney #ProveText***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

In this episode of the ProveText Podcast, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb sits down with Dr. Paul D. Miller—professor of international affairs at Georgetown University, veteran of the war in Afghanistan, and author of The Religion of American Greatness: What's Wrong with Christian Nationalism—to talk about Christian nationalism, patriotism, and faithful public engagement.What is Christian nationalism, and how is it different from healthy love of country? Can Christians bring their convictions into the public square without trying to “take the nation back for God”? What are the spiritual dangers when we fuse political identity with Christian faith?Whether you're disillusioned with politics or tempted to pin your hope on it, this episode will help you think more clearly—and hopefully more Christianly—about public life.

Most of us were taught to read the Bible as a story about me—my faith, my salvation, my walk with God. But Scripture wasn't written to individuals. It was written to communities.In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb unpacks the Group Lens—revealing how covenant, calling, identity, and even salvation were understood as we, not me.

Did the Gospel exist before Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb sits down with Dr. Clint Burnett to trace the earliest Christian use of “gospel” in Paul's letters—as a singular proclamation from God that is apocalyptic, centered on the Messiah event (death, burial, resurrection, ascension), eschatological, grounded in the Old Testament, and tied to Paul's calling as apostle to the Gentiles.We also talk about Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 15 (“according to the Scriptures”), why “apocalyptic” ≠ doomsday, and how the earliest believers evangelized from the Old Testament.Order Teaching God's Sons & Daughters: Essays in Honor of Allen Black, here: https://glossahouse.com/products/teaching-gods-sons-and-daughters-essays-in-honor-of-allen-blackVisit Dr. Burnett's website here: https://www.clintburnett.com/***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

What did Paul actually mean in 1 Timothy 2:9–15—adornment, “quietness,” authority, and being “saved through childbearing”? In this conversation, Dr. T. Michael W.

Why does the Bible include so many genealogies? In this episode of The Lenses of Scripture, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb shows how these ancient “family trees” aren't filler — they're theology. Through the Genealogy Lens, we see that God's promises run through imperfect people, messy stories, and forgotten names — all woven into His plan of redemption.

We tell kids to “use your words” — but the truth is, most adults still don't know how. We hide our feelings, fear sounding “needy,” and hope our partners will just know what we need — then feel hurt or resentful when they don't. In this episode, I unpack why adult communication breaks down so often, how unmet needs and unspoken feelings quietly sabotage our relationships, and why using your words — with clarity, vulnerability, and skill — can be the most powerful thing you do to get closer, feel seen, and have your needs met. You'll learn how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps you speak honestly without starting a fight, and how this one shift — using your words intentionally — can change everything in your relationship, from tension, frustration, and resentment to clarity, closeness, and care.

DateJune 15, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we explore how genuine hope emerges not just from knowing stories of faith, but from actively living them out. Through the lens of the Road to Emmaus narrative, we discover how participatory hope—showing up and embodying God's presence in the world—transforms our "we had hoped" moments into encounters with the living Christ. Drawing on experiences as a hospital chaplain and weaving together contemporary challenges with ancient wisdom, we examine how the Spirit opens our eyes to recognize Christ's presence in our midst, especially in moments of deep disappointment.Scripture references: Luke 24:13-35, Matthew 11:28-30, Psalm 27:13ReferencesScripture: Luke 24:13–35About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.
