Thought to share? Send me a text...What if temptation isn't always about wanting something bad—but about being tempted to stop trusting God and take matters into your own hands?When you're exhausted, lonely, disappointed, impatient, or waiting for God to move, it can be easy to reach for something that promises relief, control, or a faster way forward. In Luke 4, Jesus faces three temptations that reveal how subtly the same struggle can show up in our everyday lives: meeting our own needs, taking shortcuts, and asking God to prove Himself.Rather than simply showing us how to “try harder,” Jesus shows us what it looks like to remain rooted in what we know to be true about God—even when our circumstances make trust difficult.In this episode, you'll discover: How to recognize three subtle forms of temptation that can pull you toward self-reliance and away from trusting God.  Why even a good desire can become dangerous when you pursue it through shortcuts, control, or something God never intended to meet that need.  How knowing God's Word and character can help you respond to temptation with confident trust instead of allowing your circumstances to redefine who God is. Press play to learn how Jesus' response to temptation can help you recognize where you're taking matters into your own hands and choose to trust God's provision, His way, and His character instead.New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday mornings.To connect with Betsy for speaking, resources, or curriculum head to https://betsymarvin.com/contact-me/For access to past podcasts and transcripts, head tohttps://betsymarvin.com/podcasts/A Christian podcast centered on Jesus, the Bible, and God explores faith through the Old Testament and New Testament, sharing Bible stories and Bible explained insights to help women of faith and Jesus followers grow in faith, strengthen their relationship with God, and know God more deeply through Bible study, women Bible study, and practical Christianity, all while encouraging spiritual growth, understanding identity in Christ, and learning to understand Bible teachings to become closer to God.

Send us Fan MailAbram comes home from battle with every reason to take the credit and take the money, and then he does something that still confronts us today: he gives a tenth to Melchizedek and refuses to let the king of Sodom claim, “I made Abram rich.” That single scene in Genesis 14:19-24 opens a bigger conversation about tithing, generosity, and Christian stewardship that is less about math and more about who you believe owns heaven and earth. We walk through why Abram's tithe happens before the law of Moses, why that matters for the “tithing is Old Testament” debate, and how gratitude changes the way we hold what we have. Along the way, we connect giving to the heart of the gospel through John 3:16, because God's love is expressed through giving, not taking. We also sit with Jesus' command in Luke 6:38 and the hard-to-believe promise that you cannot outgive God. Then we get practical. We break down the growth pattern that turns generosity into a stable part of discipleship: duty, discipline, desire, and delight. We talk about starting with ten percent, learning to give cheerfully, and asking honest questions about what our spending reveals. The closing challenge is simple and sharp: are you just tipping God? Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review if it helps you rethink giving under grace.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Hosts Shelly and June Volk conclude their series on living in "newness of life," exploring how believers are called to internalize God's Word, yield to His counsel, and observe His covenant with a restored heart. Key Takeaways The Internalized Word: Living in newness of life requires ingesting God's Word into our daily lives rather than letting it remain passive text on a page. A New Heart and Spirit: Drawing from Old Testament promises, God replaces a hardened heart with a pliable, responsive heart where His law is written directly (Ezekiel 36:26–27, Jeremiah 31:31). Yielding to Divine Counsel: Spiritual alignment means surrendering human plans and personal ideals to let the Lord's counsel stand firm (Proverbs 19:21). Earthly Preparation for Eternal Life: Walking daily in the light of Christ serves as earthly preparation for eternal fellowship with God, keeping believers grounded in peace rather than worldly fear. Scripture Links Romans 5:18–21: Justification and grace reigning through Jesus Christ compared to the transgression of Adam. Romans 6:1–4: Burial through baptism into death to walk in newness of life. Ephesians 4:22–24: Laying aside the old self and putting on the new self created in righteousness. Colossians 2:6–7: Four characteristics of walking in Christ: rooted, built up, established in faith, and overflowing with gratitude. Jeremiah 29:11: God's plans to give His people a future and a hope. Romans 8:28: God causing all things to work together for good for those called according to His purpose. James 1:17: Every good and perfect gift coming down from the Father of Lights. Proverbs 19:21: The counsel of the Lord standing above human plans. Ezekiel 36:26–27: Receiving a new heart of flesh and the Spirit to walk in God's statutes. Jeremiah 31:31: The promise of the New Covenant written on the heart. Galatians 5:25: Living and walking by the Spirit of God. Ephesians 2:10: God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared beforehand.

What Christians Should Know exists to equip you to know what you believe and why you believe it. Resultantly, in our quest to encourage you to think and act biblically, in this episode Dr. Sadaphal will talk about money and blessings. Specifically, he will answer several questions: One, is there a link between tithing and getting blessed? That is, is there a biblically-promised connection between giving money to the Church and reaping material rewards? Two, when it comes to giving and getting, does the prosperity gospel get anything right? And three, should Christians tithe now? To develop answers to these questions, he will look at an Old Testament passage on tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:7-12).

Job 40:1-42:17, 2 Cor 5:11-21, Ps 45:1-17, Pr 22:14

In this episode, Michael J. Biggerstaff, assistant professor of ancient scripture, invites listeners to see Proverbs as far more than a collection of memorable sayings. He explains how Proverbs serves as a practical guide to navigating life's hardest decisions, combining faith, reason, observation, and experience to help us develop true wisdom, or "skill in living." He explores how Proverbs teaches us to think deeply, embrace complexity, and exercise agency wisely as we choose between the paths of wisdom and folly. Along the way, he discusses the book's ancient roots, the meaning of the "fear of the Lord," the symbolism of Lady Wisdom, and the role of repentance as a continual course correction back toward God. Professor Biggerstaff shows that Proverbs is not about finding simple answers but about becoming the kind of disciple who can recognize truth, make better choices, and grow through both successes and mistakes. Ultimately, Proverbs teaches that choosing wisdom is choosing Jesus Christ.  Publications: "The Wisdom of Proverbs," in From Wilderness to Monarchy: The Old Testament Through the Lens of the Restoration, Religious Studies Center (2025) "An Unconventional Mercy: Prophecies of Destruction as Divine Instruction," in Tender Mercies and Loving-Kindness: The Goodness of God in the Old Testament (2025) "Korihor as a Religious Bully," in Book of Mormon Insights: Letting God Prevail in Your Life, Religious Studies Center (2024) "An Intertextual Reading of Amos 3:7," Vetus Testamentum 76.2, Brill (2026) Click here to learn more about Michael J.

→ Watch on YouTube → Detailed Show Notes (00:00) A brief overview of these psalms.(01:32) Psalm 89 portrays God's power of creation and his justice. Assurances are made to the anointed king that the seed of David will continue with a promise of victory. The last 14 verses are a lament that the king has been forsaken.(07:15) Psalm 93 teaches that the Lord is mightier than the waters, with a description of him overcoming chaos in his acts of creation.(09:14) In Psalm 102 the righteous pray for deliverance. Psalm 115 helps us understand Psalm 102, as they both relate to death and resurrection.(17:23) In Psalm 116 we are assured that God will redeem mankind from death and sorrow and will one day wipe away our tears.(24:10) Psalm 103 describes how the Lord's people rejected him, yet the Lord showed them pity. Much of the Old Testament reflects a post exilic view of God that can be negative. This Psalm shows the lovingkindness of God. Lehi describes the essence of the original Hebrew of this psalm when he says “I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love.” Knowing God's true character, nature, and perfections lead us unto salvation.(31:51) Psalm 105 portrays God's redemptive work with the children of Israel and the story of the Exodus.(34:13) Psalm 110, “Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” Different ways to read Psalm 110 in its historical context and in connection with King Benjamin's sermon. Psalm 110 and Psalm 2 both teach about becoming sons and daughters of Christ.(45:37) Psalm 118.22, “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.” In the Book of Mormon we are warned against rejecting the Messiah, who sits on the right hand of God. Sometimes the Savior does not meet our preconceived expectations.(55:07) Psalm 119 is an acrostic poem, a prayer to God, and one the longest of the psalms.(1:02:35) Psalms 120-134 are 15 “psalms of ascent,” relating to the Water-Drawing Ceremony at the Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus used this imagery to teach about his power to save.(1:08:21) In Psalm 127 we are reminded that children are an heritage of the Lord.(1:12:52) Psalm 135 elaborates upon Israel's history from the pre-earth Council in Heaven to King David.(1:16:16) Psalm 136 begins in the premortal Council, reiterates the creation, and then Israel's Exodus. God's mercy endures forever.(1:17:39) Psalm 137 is an emotionally moving exilic psalm lamenting the destruction of the temple.(1:23:34) Psalm 138 is a thanksgiving prayer of praise. Psalm 139 expresses the king's worthiness to approach God at the veil of the temple.(1:24:30) Psalm 146 expresses the message of the work Jehovah would do. This was also the message of the angel to King Benjamin. Psalm 148 shows God's power in his creative works.(1:27:21) Psalms 149 and 150 emphasize the participatory nature of the First Israelite Temple Drama. Israel is to sing a new song praising God. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 387 | Psalms 102-150, Come Follow Me 2026 (Aug 31-Sept 6) appeared first on Talking Scripture.

Share a commentA king goes looking for the family of his enemy, and what he plans to do with them flips every instinct about power on its head. We walk through 2 Samuel 9 and David's decision to show covenant kindness to Mephibosheth, the surviving son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul, a man hiding in fear and living with a disability he can't undo. Instead of asking who is worthy, David asks who is left, and that single question becomes one of the clearest pictures of biblical grace anywhere in the Old Testament. We also sit with a modern story that makes the theme painfully tangible: girls in the Mumbai region who were literally named “unwanted,” then offered a public chance to choose a new name. That idea of renaming opens the door to a deeper conversation about status change, moving from outcast to family, from enemy to friend, from worthless to priceless. Grace is not a reward for the helpful or impressive. It is love that is undeserved, unearned, and impossible to repay. Along the way we meet Ziba, the opportunist who tries to discourage the whole mission, and we talk about why there are always obstacles to grace. We trace Mephibosheth's childhood fall, connect it to the broader story of humanity's fall into sin, and lean into the New Testament language of being brought into God's family. The episode closes with David's stunning promise: “You shall eat at my table always,” a line that turns a feared rival's heir into a son-like guest. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Ezekiel 18-19

Episode: In this episode, Kyle chats with Libby Backfish and Cynthia Shafer-Elliott about bringing archaeology and theology into conversation—the topic of their recent book, Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible: Exploring the Cultural Context that formed Ancient Israel. The conversation starts with the ancient Israelite household (and how it was essential to ancient thinking and theology), stays with the household (and related areas of ancient Israelite life and theology), and ends with the household (and, again, how it was essential to ancient thinking). Guests: Cynthia Shafer-Elliott (Ph.D. Sheffield) is Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament at Baylor University. Her field archaeology experience includes excavations at Tel Halif and Tel Abel Beth Maacah in Israel. She's the author and editor of several books, including Food in Ancient Israel (Sheffield, 2013), The 5 Minute Archaeologist in the Southern Levant (edited, Sheffield, 2016), and the book we're discussing in this episode (co-authored with Libby Backfish) Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible: Exploring the Cultural Context that Formed Ancient Israel (Baker, 2025). Libby Backfish (Ph.D. TIU) is Associate Professor of Old Testament at Jessup University. She's the author of several articles and books, including Hebrew Wordplay and Septuagint Technique in the Fourth Book of the Psalter (Bloomsbury, 2019) and the book we're discussing in this episode (co-authored with Cynthia Shafer-Elliott) Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible: Exploring the Cultural Context that Formed Ancient Israel (Baker, 2025).

Send us Fan MailShechem is more than a location on a map—it is a place where generations are confronted with the question of whom they will serve. From Abraham's altar and Jacob's rejection of foreign gods, to Joshua's covenant and Abimelech's disastrous kingship, the story of Shechem repeatedly returns to worship, allegiance, and kingship. In this episode, we explore the biblical context of Shechem and discover how one ancient place becomes a stage for the continuing choice between serving the Lord and following the gods and kingdoms of this world.

Jesus enters Jerusalem according to His plan and purpose. He gives specific instructions to two disciples concerning His mount for His ride into Jerusalem. Jesus' words are fulfilled, just as the Word of God from the Old Testament is fulfilled. Jesus comes as the humble King. The crowd overflows with exuberance to see Jesus enter Jerusalem in this way, and they welcome Him with joy. Although they may not have understood the full import of their words, they were right to sing Hosanna to Jesus as the Son of David. He has revealed Himself as more than a Prophet; He is the Savior!  Rev. David Appold, pastor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Paducah, KY, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 21:1-11.  To learn more about St. Paul's in Paducah, visit stpaulpaducah.org. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

What happens when the church's desire for growth becomes a form of idolatry? Andrew Root returns to Future Christian to discuss his new book, Baal and the Gods of More: Rescuing Church Growth from Idolatry. Root argues that churches across the theological spectrum have become captured by a logic of escalation: more people, more resources, more innovation, more relevance, more affirmation. The problem is that there is never a point when we can finally say, “Enough.” Drawing connections between the worship of Baal in the Old Testament, modern capitalism, and contemporary church growth, Loren and Andy explore what churches believe will actually save them. They discuss Root's categories of “techno-optimists” and “identitarians”—two groups that may appear opposed but can share the assumption that the church will survive if it can simply accumulate enough of the right kind of capital. Together they explore: When church growth becomes a form of idolatry Why churches struggle to ever say “enough” Techno-optimists, identitarians, and competing visions of church renewal Why money can function as more “real” than God in church decision-making The relationship between economic prosperity and American Protestantism Why the church keeps trying to recover its golden age Prayer, confession, and discerning where God is actually at work Andrew Root is the Carrie Olson Baalson professor of youth and family ministry at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He writes and researches in areas of theology, ministry, culture and younger generations.  His recent books are Churches and the Crisis of Decline, When Church Stops Working, and The Church After Innovation. Andy has worked in congregations, parachurch ministries, and social service programs. He lives in St. Paul with his wife Kara, two children, Owen and Maisy, and their dog. When not reading, writing, or teaching, Andy spends far too much time watching TV and movies.

Sometimes the Gospels raise questions that feel dangerous to ask: if Jesus is fully God and fully man, how can Scripture also show Him growing, developing, responding, and acting within a specific mission? Joe Rockey brings that tension directly to Father Boniface Hicks through examples like the wedding at Cana, the Canaanite woman, the cleansing of the Temple, and Jesus' outreach beyond Israel. The result is a careful conversation about Christ's humanity, His divinity, and how God's universal plan unfolds through particular people, places, and relationships.Father explains that Jesus' mission is universal in its final purpose—He desires the salvation of the whole world—but proximate in its historical method. Jesus ministers first to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, forms the apostles, fulfills the covenant, and then sends the Church outward to the Gentiles. The apostles themselves had to grow into that understanding, especially through Peter, Cornelius, the Holy Spirit, and the early Church's discernment.The conversation also turns practical: every Christian has a mission field. The whole world matters, but most of us serve the whole by loving, teaching, witnessing, and evangelizing the people directly entrusted to us—family, parish, workplace, friends, and the communities God places before us. Father's own mission field as a parish priest becomes one example of how a specific assignment participates in the broader mission of Christ.Finally, Joe and Father discuss how to read Scripture faithfully. The Gospels are not distortions of Jesus; they are true witness, written by human authors under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes the Holy Spirit preserves details whose full meaning becomes clearer later, like “Easter eggs” in salvation history. Jesus truly grows in His humanity, while His divine mission remains ordered by the Father from the beginning.**Key Ideas*** Jesus is fully God and fully man; His humanity truly develops without His divine mission being confused or incomplete.* Jesus' mission is universal in purpose, but historically begins with Israel and then extends through the Church to the Gentiles.* The Canaanite woman reveals faith and order: the children first, then the household pets—not rejection, but mission unfolding.* Every Christian has a mission field: not everyone all at once, but the people God actually places before us.* Scripture is written through real human authors, but the Holy Spirit is the primary author guiding the deeper unity of salvation history.**Scripture Mentioned*** Wedding at Cana* The Canaanite woman / “lost sheep of the house of Israel”* Cleansing of the Temple / courtyard of the Gentiles* Peter and Cornelius* Council of Jerusalem* The centurion / “Lord, I am not worthy”* Luke 2:51–52 — Jesus growing in wisdom and grace* Moses' staff and the hyssop branch at the Crucifixion**Links & References**None explicitly referenced with a clear official/source link in this episode.**CTA:** If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

Zechariah is maybe the most Jesus-focused book in the whole Old Testament. There were times while we were studying this book that I even forgot it was Old Testament. That's how future-focused it is. And today, we're gonna wrap it all up. So my plan for today is to recap what we've studied in this book, with a particular emphasis on Jesus. Let's highlight all the places that spoke about Jesus' first AND second comings.I'd like to share what some of my favorite episodes were here. And after that, we'll take a look at the last six verses of chapter 14. And then: we'll talk about which book we could study next—and give you a chance to weigh in on whether you'd even like to the podcast to continue at all. That's what we'll do today on the God and His Prophets podcast.Watch these episodes at my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeTaylorPodcastsNeed to get in touch with me? Reach me at GodAndHisProphetsPodcast@gmail.comIf you're looking for a Bible study podcast that goes deep into the major and minor prophets, God and His Prophets offers a verse by verse Bible study through these powerful Old Testament writings. Each episode explores the prophecy in the Bible, from the Book of Ezekiel study and later in Zechariah, helping listeners in understanding prophetic books and seeing their relevance today.

Over the next few days we'll be reading regularly from three books, 2 Chronicles, 2 Kings, and Isaiah, as we continue pursuing a fairly linear chronological reading of the Old Testament. At the point in the history of God's people, Hezekiah is on the throne in Jerusalem and Isaiah is simultaneously prophesying in Judah. The kings of Assyria are knocking on the front door, taunting those in power. This not only includes the king and his officials, but God himself, whom they mock and equate to the gods of other nations. Today, you'll hear the account of Sennacherib's royal spokesman who seeks to insult, discourage and dishearten the men of Judah before their impending military confrontation. 2 Chronicles 32:1-19 - 1:09 . 2 Kings 18 - 5:29 .

What do we do when it's hard to trust God? How do we get back to the point where we trust in Him fully? Join us as Pastor Steve concludes our series, "BC: Finding Jesus in the Old Testament." 

Send us Fan MailSome prayers are peaceful. Some are honest enough to sound like a fight. Todd sits down with his close friend Lila Willardson for a real conversation about spiritual discipline, hearing the Spirit, and what it looks like to keep turning toward God even when you don't feel confident, energized, or certain. We start with the Old Testament and the reminder it keeps repeating: God consistently works through imperfect people, which means He can work through us too. We dig into the daily habits that actually change a life, including morning scripture study, conference talks, and building a routine that makes it easier to recognize and act on spiritual promptings. Lila shares what it means to put God first through prayer and covenant keeping, and why a covenant is more than a promise. Then we go somewhere many people avoid: frustration, doubt, and the “what if God isn't real?” questions. Instead of treating doubt as failure, we talk about bringing it into the relationship and letting God meet you in it. Joy shows up in a surprising place: service. We explore why helping others can be a steady source of meaning, especially in seasons when you can't name a single “passion.” We also reflect on family, love through hard times, and the kinds of small, quiet choices that shape who we become. Lila closes with a mission insight from Mexico: even brief spiritual moments can create eternal ripples you may never see. If you want practical faith, honest prayer, and a stronger ability to hear and follow personal revelation, press play.

The Story of Moses and the Message of the Cross In this week's sermon, we delved into the transformative conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3. This discussion is pivotal because it introduces essential Christian doctrines such as the incarnation, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the necessity of being born again. Jesus, in his dialogue, references the story of Moses lifting the snake in the wilderness, drawing a parallel to his own crucifixion. The Encounter with Nicodemus The sermon begins with Jesus' encounter with Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a respected teacher in Israel. Nicodemus approached Jesus under the cover of night, seeking to understand if Jesus was truly sent by God. In this conversation, Jesus introduces the concept of being "born again," explaining that entrance into God's kingdom requires a spiritual rebirth, not just adherence to the law. A Lesson from the Wilderness The story of Moses lifting the bronze snake, found in Numbers 21:4-9, serves as a precursor to the salvation offered through Jesus. As the Israelites wandered in the desert, they faced the consequences of their disobedience: venomous snakes. When they repented, God instructed Moses to create a bronze snake and lift it on a pole. Anyone bitten by a snake could look at it and live. Key Themes: Faith Over Law: The Israelites' journey highlighted the transition from law to faith. Their survival depended not on their adherence to the law, but their faith in God's provision. Symbolism of the Snake: The bronze snake symbolized the coming salvation through Jesus. Just as the snake provided physical healing, Jesus' crucifixion offers spiritual salvation. Jesus Lifted Up Jesus draws a direct line from this Old Testament story to his own mission. In John 3:14-15, Jesus states, "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him." This act of being "lifted up" is a foreshadowing of the crucifixion. Points of Reflection: The Cross as Salvation: The cross, like the bronze snake, may seem absurd as a symbol of salvation. Yet, it is through Jesus' death that believers find life. Faith in the Unseen: Just as the Israelites had to trust in the unseen power of God for healing, believers are called to trust in the unseen work of Jesus for eternal life. The Call to Action The sermon concludes with a challenge to the congregation: Look to the Cross: Believers are encouraged to place their faith in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross as the only path to eternal life. Share the Message: Those who have found salvation are urged to share this message with others, lifting up Jesus so that others might be drawn to him. In summary, this sermon beautifully ties the story of Moses to the core message of the Gospel, emphasizing the transformative power of faith and the necessity of sharing this good news with the world. As believers, we are reminded that our journey to the promised land of eternal life is paved by looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

Thought to share? Send me a text...What if repentance is less about feeling guilty over what you've done—and more about turning toward God and allowing Him to change how you live today?The word repentance can sound harsh, condemning, or even intimidating. But in Luke 3, John the Baptist shows us a different picture. Repentance isn't simply feeling bad, saying you're sorry, or trying harder to be a “good Christian.” It's a change of mind that leads to a change of direction—turning away from what is keeping you from God and turning toward Jesus.And for the busy Christian mom who wants a deeper relationship with God, that change often shows up in surprisingly ordinary places. It's in how you speak to your family when you're tired, whether you choose contentment over comparison, how willing you are to apologize when you're wrong, and whether you obey God when no one else is watching.In this episode, you'll discover:A biblical understanding of repentance that moves you beyond guilt and toward a deeper relationship with Jesus.How to recognize the everyday “fruit” of genuine repentance through generosity, integrity, contentment, and the way you treat others.Why preparing the way for Jesus doesn't require a dramatic spiritual gesture—and how your next ordinary act of obedience can become an expression of everyday faith.Play this episode to discover what it means to truly turn toward Jesus and take one practical step of obedience that allows God's Word to change the way you live today.New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday mornings.To connect with Betsy for speaking, resources, or curriculum head to https://betsymarvin.com/contact-me/For access to past podcasts and transcripts, head tohttps://betsymarvin.com/podcasts/A Christian podcast centered on Jesus, the Bible, and God explores faith through the Old Testament and New Testament, sharing Bible stories and Bible explained insights to help women of faith and Jesus followers grow in faith, strengthen their relationship with God, and know God more deeply through Bible study, women Bible study, and practical Christianity, all while encouraging spiritual growth, understanding identity in Christ, and learning to understand Bible teachings to become closer to God.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes:My title for this episode is “When You Feel Overwhelmed.”  And I suspect that's something every one of us has experienced at some point and understands. All of us have lived through moments when life felt bigger than our strength. Moments when we felt outnumbered, outmatched, or simply out of options.Sometimes it's not one big single crisis; it's the slow accumulation of pressures that finally becomes too much. Sometimes it's the unexpected blow that knocks the wind out of our sails, or it follows a long season of discouragement that wears us down.  Whatever form it takes, we all know what it is to feel overwhelmed. And so, my question is: What do you do when that happens and how do you respond? In the Old Testament, one king found himself in exactly that situation. He was factually outnumbered and overwhelmed, facing an enemy he could not defeat, a crisis he could not control, and consequences he could not escape. And what he did in that moment is exactly what we should do in ours.Support the showThis podcast is entirely the work of Jeremy R McCandless...Follow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.My History of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

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.

Why did God place the Ten Commandments inside the Ark of the Covenant—and then cover them with the mercy seat and sacrificial blood?In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour examines one of the clearest pictures of law, grace, and redemption in the Old Testament.From the tablets of the Law to the mercy seat and sacrificial blood, the Ark points beyond itself to the fulfillment found in Christ. Drawing from Exodus 25, Hebrews 9–10, John 1, Matthew 5, and Romans 10, George shows how the Mosaic Covenant's types and shadows anticipate the substance: Christ fulfilling the Law, providing atonement for sin, and giving righteousness to those who receive Him by faith.

IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.On this episode of Stories Are Soul Food, join ND Wilson and Brian Kohl as they discuss the life of Jacob. Nate's done plenty of writing for Old Testament heroes such as King David, Samson, Moses, Abraham, and Noah. But one character he hasn't touched (yet?) is the patriarch Jacob. This episode investigates why evangelicals don't like the patriarch Jacob, and it isn't because he's a liar -- at least, the only time he ever deceives, he was 100% justified. But he was a terrible husband and father, and a bit of a shady negotiator. The point of Jacob's life, though, and the reason he is a saint, is that his life -- from his struggles in the womb with Esau to his death as a slave in Egypt -- points to the Messiah to come. Finally, Nate rates two more pitches on another edition of Make Me Famous.

Read OnlineThe Holy One of GodIn the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out in a loud voice, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet! Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm. Luke 4:33–35Yesterday, we began reading from the Gospel of Luke in our weekday liturgies, and we will continue to do so until the season of Advent. Luke's Gospel was written especially for Gentile converts—those unfamiliar with Jewish customs—presenting Jesus not only as the fulfillment of Israel's hopes but also as the Savior of all humanity. Unlike Matthew, who highlights Christ's fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, Luke reveals a broader vision: a universal Savior who brings healing, mercy, and salvation to the poor, the outcast, and the sinner.In today's passage, that universal mission is subtly foreshadowed through Jesus' divine authority. Though the setting is a Jewish synagogue in Capernaum, His actions speak to a power not confined to time, place, or people. With a simple word, Jesus rebukes the demon, silences its protest, and frees the afflicted man. The astonishment of the crowd—“What is there about his word?”—captures the essence of the moment: Here is One whose authority reaches even into the unseen spiritual world and commands it.Though He ministers among His own people, Jesus is not merely a teacher of the Law or a local prophet. His authority is absolute, His identity divine. The demon's cry—“I know who you are, the Holy One of God!”—offers a strange testimony: Even the spiritual forces of darkness recognize and submit to Him. This is not just a healing; it is a confrontation between the kingdom of God and the powers of evil. And it is only the beginning.Luke includes this scene early in his Gospel to show that Jesus' mission is one of liberation—liberation from sin, bondage, and every form of darkness. The fact that this miracle occurs in a synagogue reminds us that no place, however sacred, is immune to the presence of evil. But more importantly, it reminds us that no evil is immune to the authority of Christ.It is also helpful to recall the broader context. This event comes shortly after Jesus' baptism, His forty days in the desert, and His rejection in Nazareth. That rejection led Him to Capernaum, a humble fishing village that would become the center of His Galilean ministry. It is here that He will call Peter, Andrew, James, John, and Matthew—men who will carry His Gospel to the ends of the earth. Thus, what begins in a small synagogue soon echoes to the nations.Reflect today on the universal scope of Luke's Gospel, which we will hear over the coming months. Though Jesus begins within Israel, His mission reaches every soul. By beginning His ministry with a confrontation against evil, Jesus reveals that He has come not only to teach but to conquer—to break the chains of darkness and bring divine healing to the world. His Word still speaks with authority. May we listen, believe, and be set free from the evil one and all his demonic powers, so that we may help proclaim Christ's Kingdom to the ends of the earth in our own unique ways.My Lord and Holy One of God, from the very beginning of Your public ministry, You established Your divine authority over evil, revealing that You came to destroy the kingdom of darkness and to build Your Eternal Kingdom of truth and grace. Please cast out all evil and sin from my heart, so that Your reign may take full possession of my soul. Use me as You will to further Your Kingdom on earth, bringing Your light and truth to the ends of the earth, one soul at a time.
