“Where Is Purgatory in the Bible?” This question opens a discussion about the biblical basis for purgatory, addressing concerns from those who struggle with its concept. Other topics include the role of confession and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, as well as guidance for those considering a return to the Catholic faith. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:00 – I'm not Catholic because I don’t understand purgatory. 29:04 – I left Catholicism, I'm Baptist and don't really go to church anymore but still follow Jesus. I think we should confess directly to God and not have to go through a priest. 43:09 – I work with a dispensationalist. I want to talk to her about the Old Testament prophecies but before I do, I would like to know, were all the prophecies fulfilled? 49:17 – My children are no longer practicing Catholics. They were never confirmed. If they were to return, what would they have to do? 53:08 – I'm on my way to becoming Catholic. How do I answer the Protestant objection that Catholics have no infallible list of infallible dogmas?

It's Mailbag Friday! You've got questions, we've got answers. Segment 1 • Received an email from James, who asked the question last week concerning the difference in the Quran and the Old Testament, where God directs His people to kill those of other nations. He says he accepts your answer as a Christian, but how would you respond to an unbeliever asking the same question—someone who doesn't believe the God of the Bible is real? — James • I'm 42 and own a pretty successful business. My wife is in real estate, and we've been married for over 20 years with two kids. Her income is significantly higher than mine. Am I living in sin, as the head of the household, for not being the main financial supporter? — Anonymous • My name is Mike, and I'm 10 years old. I want to do magic tricks—would that be considered sorcery or lying? — Mike • As Christians, we should be angry at sin. Should we ever be angry at sinners? — Jonathan Segment 2 • My mom is grieving my siblings' resentment toward her. They were raised in a Bible-teaching home but now show little fruit. How can I best encourage her in her hurt? — Anonymous • I know God should be my source of rest, but how do I actually live that out day to day? What does it look like to rest in Him? — Hope Segment 3 • I feel constantly busy—ministry, work, relationships, planning ahead. How do I slow down, rest, and not just default to distractions like my phone? — Hope Segment 4 • I am from India. Can a Christian have health or term insurance, or does that show a lack of trust in God's sovereignty? — Athul • My boss keeps calling a work report “our bible,” and it bothers me. What's the best way to respond? — Anonymous ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

Did Matthew 24 already happen? And if so, what does that mean for Revelation?Many readers assume these passages describe future, literal cosmic events—but is that how Scripture itself uses this language?By examining the Old Testament background behind phrases like “the sun darkened,” “the moon turned to blood,” and “stars falling from heaven,” Matt shows how biblical prophecy often uses symbolic, covenantal language to describe divine judgment.

Deep in the heart of Israel, God desires to be known by His chosen people.  Revealing Himself to Moses as Yahweh, the Great I Am, a name too holy to utter, the Israelites call Him Jehovah.  Throughout the Old Testament, Jehovah responds to the faith of His people and shows Himself strong on their behalf.  In remembrance of Jehovah's power and love, the people give Him additional names describing His ability and willingness to help in their lives.  Each name describes the nature of the One True God!  Each is Jehovah!  Together, they are the J-Team!Jesus has been dead, buried in a tomb for three days but now, word has come that Jesus is alive!  Demons are scrambling to try to stop the Good News from spreading.  Meanwhile, Jesus is on His way to visit Peter!You can read more about this story in John 21:1-17. “After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said. A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.” John‬ ‭21‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬#kids, #biblestoriesforkids, #storiesforkids,#bedtimestoriesforkids, #storiesforchristiankids, #biblelessonsforkids, #bestronginthelord, #namesofgod, #jehovahtsidkenu, #thelordgodalmightyourrighteousness, #jesustookthepunishmentforoursin, #jesusisrisen, #jesusdefeatedsinforme, #righteousnessthroughjesussacrifice,  #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbites4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebbThe Great Unknown by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Today, we pull back the curtain on a global headline. Not to debate. Not to distract. But to confront the dark reality few dare to face: the brutality of the Iranian regime.Paul M. Neuberger isn't here to repeat viral narratives. He's here, Bible in one hand, history in the other, to expose the suffering no hashtag will fix—women beaten, protestors disappeared, children silenced under a system that calls evil good and good evil.You won't hear this in the mainstream. Why? Because courage will cost you—ridicule, backlash, exile from the comfortable crowd. But we're not called to comfort. We're called to kingdom clarity.Justice demands more than outrage—it demands moral courage.Jesus is still Lord—even when the West goes silent.The line's been drawn. When your moment of truth comes, where will you stand?Buckle up. This one's going to be raw, real, and rooted in the Word."Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." –Isaiah 5:20Episode Highlights:07:18 – Instead of asking questions, people assume motives. Instead of seeking facts, people repeat narratives. Instead of pursuing discernment, people react emotionally. But outrage isn't discernment. Emotion isn't wisdom. And viral opinions aren't the same thing as truth.38:24 – Christians aren't called to quietly tolerate injustice. We're called to expose it, not out of hatred, not out of vengeance, but out of a commitment to truth. The prophets of the Old Testament confronted corrupt kings and unjust systems. Jesus himself challenged the religious authorities of his day when they misused their power.41:49 – Real peace is the presence of justice, and justice requires the courage to confront systems that harm the innocent and silence the vulnerable. Millions of Iranians have spent years risking their safety to protest against their own government. Many of them have paid a terrible price for that courage. Their stories deserve to be heard. Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Doug Van Dorn returns to the Blurry Con stage for his third year and delivers what he calls the most important work he's ever presented. Recorded live at Blurry Con 3, Doug walks through a detailed textual case showing how second-century rabbis systematically altered key Old Testament passages to undermine the supernatural worldview of Genesis 6, Psalm 82, Deuteronomy 32, and Psalm 110. He traces how "sons of God" became "sons of the rulers," how "gods" became "the mighty," how 15 words were removed from the Song of Moses, and how the number 70 was strategically swapped for 75 in the genealogies to sever the connection between Melchizedek and Jesus. Every change, Doug argues, was deliberate. And every change targeted the same thing: the deity of Christ.Doug connects the dots between the Septuagint, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Masoretic text, and the Babylonian Talmud to show that the very arguments many Christians use today against the angelic view of Genesis 6 trace back to sources that were created to discredit Jesus. He unpacks Justin Martyr's confrontation with Trifo, the rabbinical curse on anyone who called them "sons of God," and the shocking language the Talmud uses about Jesus himself. This is textual criticism with teeth, and Doug doesn't hold back. If you've ever wondered why your study Bible reads the way it does on these passages, this talk will rearrange your bookshelf.Want to listen to this episode and a whole backlog of members-only episodes?

Fr. Mike points out why it's important that the tribes of Reuben and Gad agree to fight in Numbers 32 and also reflects on how God knows that his people will be faithless, and yet He remains faithful to them.

Did you know the word “hallelujah” is an Old Testament word, only used once (here in Revelation 19) in the New Testament? It means “praise the Lord”—reserved for final victory in battle. That's the right word to say here at the end of the Great Tribulation. We pause now and review the solemn path of the Tribulation in these last seven years.

What's So New About the New Covenant? Part 1 | KIB 522 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description: In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing #522, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore a vital question for the remnant in the last days: What is so new about the New Covenant? This episode uncovers how the promises of the New Covenant were already embedded in the Old Testament and how many believers have been disconnected from the very foundations that explain who we are in Christ. Mary Lou opens with practical warnings about spiritual deception in culture, hidden occult influence, and the need for prayer over vulnerable regions, infrastructure, and the nation. She also shares an important encouragement for God's people to remain watchful, prayerful, and spiritually prepared. Dr. Lake then begins a powerful new teaching series showing that the New Covenant does not abolish God's previous revelation, but rather internalizes it. He explains how the Torah being written on the heart, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, circumcision of heart, and the renewal of the mind are all part of the deeper reality of walking with God in the last days. This is a timely message for believers who want to move beyond shallow Christianity, rediscover the Hebraic foundations of the faith, and understand how spiritual maturity, healing, and obedience work together in the Kingdom of God.

If you went back in time and you had the opportunity to be involved in an attempt to remove Adolf Hitler from the scene before WWII, would you do it? How you answer this question may determine your position on war, peace, and violence. Is violence sometimes necessary to produce good? Or is war and violence always wrong, no matter the circumstances? How does the Christian worldview best answer this predicament, and how should we as Christians view war in general? Jesus calls us to be peacemakers, so we need to be able to define exactly what that means.  Our guest today is Paul Copan, Professor and Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University. He's a Christian theologian, analytic philosopher, apologist, and author, having written or edited around 45 books and contributed chapters to over 60 more. Paul is perhaps best known for tackling tough questions about God and the Old Testament in books like Is God a Moral Monster?, Is God a Vindictive Bully?, and Did God Really Command Genocide? He's also served as president of the Evangelical Philosophical Society and currently chairs the Philosophy of Religion Group for the Tyndale Fellowship in the UK. 

Riad Kassis joins Mark Labberton from Beirut as airstrikes continue, 700,000 people have been displaced across Lebanon, and children's toys are visible in the rubble. He leads Langham Partnership and has spent decades serving the church across one of the world's most contested regions. He names the spiritual danger of sanctifying power with religious narrative while insisting peace cannot be forced by violence. "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." In this episode, Kassis reflects on war, displacement, pastoral witness, and hope in God's sovereignty from the middle of Lebanon's crisis. Together they discuss the civilian toll of the war, how religious fundamentalism operates across traditions, the Psalms and Habakkuk as tools for lament, and what American Christians can actually do. Together they ask what it means for the church to hold protest and hope together when cycles of war feel endless and religiously justified. Episode Highlights "It is not an operation. It is a war on Lebanon." "When power—whether political, military, financial, or technological—is sanctified by religious narratives that justify everything, that is what really bothers me." "No one cures and destroys with more passion than someone who believes that God is on their side." "When I think that these 85 children were killed mainly by American ammunition and weapons, I cannot comprehend this—even as a Christian and as a theologian." "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." About Riad Kassis Riad Kassis is a Langham Scholar from Lebanon and is deeply committed to global theological education. He has served as International Director of the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE), Regional Director for Overseas Council, as well as visiting professor of Old Testament at The Arab Baptist Theological Seminary and Near East School of Theology in Beirut, and the Dean of the Program for Theological Education by Extension in Syria and Lebanon. Riad obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Economics in Damascus, Syria. He went on to obtain his Master of Divinity from Alliance Biblical Seminary, Manila, Philippines and Master of Theology from Regent College, Canada. Riad received his Doctor of Philosophy in Old Testament as a Langham scholar from The University of Nottingham, UK and his Master of Nonprofit Management from Regis University in Denver, Colorado.

It is a war on Lebanon." 150 airstrikes in 24 hours; 550+ killed, 1,500+ injured, including 85 children 700,000 displaced; 200,000 children; many still on the streets of Beirut Schoolbooks and children's toys found in the rubble Christian village of Alma ordered to evacuate; mayor on television in tears A Catholic priest who stayed to help an injured family was killed in a second strike His wife Izdihar's center for Syrian refugee women and girls shut down; staff now distributing meals, mattresses, medical care in shelters Hoped the war could be avoided—feared it could not "When power—political, military, technological—is sanctified by religious narratives that justify everything, that is what really bothers me." Iranian author Shiha Dejani, herself a survivor of the Iranian regime: if your vision of liberation comes through destroying innocent lives, it is not freedom you are after Grew up admiring America as a beacon of democracy and discovery; that view has changed "When I think these 85 children were killed mainly by American ammunition, I cannot comprehend this—even as a Christian and as a theologian." "No one cures and destroys with more passion than someone who believes that God is on their side." Walter Wink: the dominant religion on the planet is not Christianity, Islam, or Judaism—it is the pervasive faith in violence Preaching Habakkuk two days before this conversation; the cry "how long, O Lord?" as pastoral anchor Psalms of disorientation as communal tools for protest, lament, and stubborn hope Lent and Ramadan overlapping: identifying suffering with Christ's suffering; "after Friday, we will experience an amazing Sunday" 2,000 years of Arab Christian presence in this region—not just survival, but witness and contribution "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." Asks for prayer for the war's end, for political wisdom, for his canceled flight—he is trying to reach his first grandson's dedication Labberton closes in prayer: for restraint of ego-driven leaders, for human dignity, for a peace that is both merciful and just #ConversingWithMarkLabberton #RiadKassis #Lebanon #MiddleEast #Peacebuilding #ChristianWitness #Theology #Habakkuk #LanghamPartnership #WarAndFaith Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.  

I can give no better commendation than this from Dr. Thomas Constable: “Leviticus 19 has been called the highest development of ethics in the Old Testament. This chapter, perhaps better than any other in the Bible, explains what it meant for Israel to be a holy nation.”Special Guest: Nick Carter.

Episode 2.91Narrative Juxtaposition: How the Bible Speaks Through Story Placement | Part 3In this episode of the Narrative Juxtaposition series, Michael and Zach explore one of the most unusual books in the prophetic collection: Jonah. Unlike the surrounding prophets filled with poetic oracles and covenant warnings, Jonah reads like a narrative filled with irony, humor, and uncomfortable reversals. The question quickly emerges: why is this story placed among the prophetic books at all?The episode argues that Jonah's placement is intentional. Rather than delivering extended prophetic speeches, the book exposes the heart of the prophet himself. The story unfolds as a series of moral reversals in which the pagan characters repeatedly respond to God more faithfully than the prophet who knows Him best.The pagan sailors in chapter one move from fear to reverence, praying to the Lord and offering sacrifices. The city of Nineveh responds to Jonah's brief warning with immediate repentance. Meanwhile Jonah resists God's call, avoids prayer, and ultimately becomes angry when God shows mercy.Through these narrative contrasts, the book critiques religious pride, exposes the danger of nationalistic theology, and reminds readers that God's compassion extends far beyond the boundaries His people might prefer. Jonah understands God's character—gracious, compassionate, and slow to anger—but he resents the implications of that mercy when it reaches Israel's enemies.By placing Jonah among the prophets, the Old Testament provides a powerful internal critique of prophetic pride and spiritual entitlement. Before Israel hears judgment against the nations, the story forces God's people to confront their own resistance to the global scope of God's mercy.The episode concludes by tracing the larger biblical trajectory. Jesus later identifies Himself as greater than Jonah, embodying the opposite posture: running toward sinners, embracing suffering, and rejoicing in repentance. The story ultimately challenges readers to ask whether their theology fuels compassion and mission—or quietly resists the wideness of God's mercy.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/9dcsWOwGRC0Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Psalms 1 & 2 E4 — The New Testament authors make both subtle and direct claims to Jesus' divinity, almost exclusively by referencing Israel's Scriptures. In Psalm 2, one of the most quoted passages from the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh responds to the conspiring, violent nations by installing a king (whom he calls his Son) in Israel. Jesus and the apostles frequently use Psalm 2 language to describe Jesus' divine identity and unique relationship to God the Father. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore these references in Jesus' baptism, transfiguration, and resurrection, while also considering how the Son of God shares his royal identity with his followers.

March 16–22: “God Meant It unto Good”Genesis 42–50It had been about 22 years since Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery. Joseph had suffered many trials, including false accusations and imprisonment. When he finally saw his brothers again, Joseph was the governor of all Egypt, second only to the pharaoh. He could easily have taken revenge on his brothers, and considering what they had done to Joseph, that might seem understandable. And yet Joseph forgave them. Not only that, but he helped them see divine purpose in his suffering. “God meant it unto good” (Genesis 50:20), he told them, because it put him in a position to save “all his father's household” (Genesis 47:12) from famine.A Come Follow Me Podcast For Kids Primary Podcast Welcome to Come Follow Me Kids!

In this special episode, Casey Wilson, Travis Shook, Justin Bohner, and Cliff Graham introduce the brand-new Lion of War Podcast.Recorded while Cliff is in the studio producing the first episodes, this conversation explores the heart behind the project, the long road of completing the full Lion of War series, and why the story of David continues to resonate so deeply with men. They discuss the difference between merely reading facts and being shaped by story, why biblical storytelling carries unique power, and how David's life helps modern men recover a fuller vision of courage, worship, brotherhood, struggle, repentance, and faithfulness.This episode also gives listeners a preview of the opening arc of the podcast, including the prelude, the first episode on the geography and history surrounding David's world, and the larger vision for a long-form narrative journey through Scripture, history, and manhood.If you want to better understand David, the mighty men, the world of the Old Testament, and the grand story of God that forms faithful men, this episode is a strong starting point.

In this conversation, Caleb Lenard (DEdMin, Southern Seminary) talks with Andrew Malone (ThD, Ridley College) Lecturer in Biblicl Studies at Ridley College, about his book on Christophanies, exploring the significance of Old Testament appearances of Christ. He explains the terms theophany and Christophany, their relevance in evangelism, and the interpretive challenges they present. The discussion also delves into the nature of God's visibility, the identity of the Angel of the Lord, and the implications for understanding the Trinity. Malone emphasizes the importance of careful biblical interpretation and the need for pastors and teachers to responsibly guide their congregations in reading the Old Testament in light of Christ.Resource: Knowing Jesus in the Old Testament?: A Fresh Look At Christophanies by Andrew Malone

How does God reveal Himself in the Old Testament to us? And where does His Son Jesus peer through?John 1:18 tells us, "No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, He has made Him known."So Jesus, who is the Word, makes visible that which is not visible. We cannot see God in His essence. We would be consumed by that. But what is the Son's unique role? The Son's role is to mediate for us, the Father by the Spirit, so that we can see the unseeable. So that we can know and relate to that which appears to be unknowable. >>Watch on YouTubeDr. Mark Gignilliat is professor of divinity at Beeson Divinity School, where he teaches courses in Old Testament and Hebrew.

While Jesus' encounter with the men on the road to Emmaus may not be thought of as a sermon per se, Jesus did indeed preach them a comprehensive message expositing what the Old Testament prophets said about His coming and His mission. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he reviews the abundance of Old Testament Scripture pointing to Christ and the sermon he may have preached on the way to Emmaus.

The biggest lie of them all, both literally and figuratively, is the coverup of the existence of giants. Primary sources such as the Bible (heard of it?) speak of a race called the Nephilim. These larger-than-life offspring of angels and human women have been depicted in documentaries such as NOAH by Darren Aronofsky. Nephilim were said to have been destroyed in the Great Flood, but a race of giant people supposedly persisted on Earth into contemporary times. If this news comes as a surprise to you, there is one group to blame: the evil Smithsonian Institution, whose alleged purpose is to destroy the remains of giant skeletons so the lie of evolution can persist. Fortunately, some brave souls like the creator of A RACE OF GIANTS boldly proclaim this history and were able to sneak it past the censors. The documentary teaches us a few things: 1) that throughout North America, the bones of giant humans and even fossilized remains of their giant tools (pause) have been found and then lost through a series of unfortunate coincidences or outright archaeological malice; 2) that the legend of Big Guys has existed in many ancient cultures for a reason, because sometimes guys are really tall; and 3) that certain findings, such as the famous Guadalupe Woman skeleton embedded in rock formations inappropriate for the generally accepted carbon dating of Earth, supposedly go as far as to disprove the very concept of evolution. Without coming across as overtly Christian, A RACE OF GIANTS makes the case for the young earth creationism described by the Old Testament in a compelling, albeit confusing and roundabout way.

Old Testament Challenge - Week 6

When Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd in John 10, he is pointing back to the promises God made throughout the Old Testament. Sheep naturally follow a voice, and in the same way, people are always being led by something that promises purpose, security, or a better life. What we truly need is to follow the right voice with real authority. Jesus shows that authority through relationship, not force, saying he knows his sheep and his sheep recognize his voice. And unlike a hired hand who runs in the face of danger, the Good Shepherd willingly lays down his life for his sheep. When we stop trying to direct our own lives and trust Jesus to lead us, we begin to experience the rest and peace that come from living under the faithful care of the Good Shepherd.

Is there a chance that Paul is not talking about the Old Testament "law" in Romans (1-8)? Must our giving be to a local church or ministry? Is there freedom to work that out a different way? I've seen biblical evidence the Earth is flat. What are your thoughts? *previously aired

Went to a Garden Party. In this episode, we read a homily by St. Aelfric of York for Midlent Sunday. Aelfric sermonizes about the earthly and heavenly meaning of Jesus' feeding of the five thousand — its symbolism, historical import, and how loaves and fishes exegete the Old Testament books themselves. This and many, many wilderness wanderings in this episode of the podcast.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.” (Hebrews 12:1–2 NLT) Over the past two weeks, we’ve looked at several Old Testament characters. In Hebrews 12:1–2, the significance of their lives, their experiences, their struggles, their victories, and their testimonies is brought home to us. One chapter earlier, the author of Hebrews recapped many of their stories in what’s often called the “Faith Hall of Fame.” The placement of the exhortation in Hebrews 12:1–2 seems to suggest that these “hall of famers,” these heroes of the faith—Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, David, Daniel, and others—take a rooting interest in our spiritual race. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne” (NLT). These people of faith who went before us gave us models to follow so that we might live and exercise our faith as they did. Reading about the lives of these men and women who walked with God and trusted Christ and stood strong in the face of trials and persecutions can add steel to our souls. But they didn’t just give us templates to follow. They are also observing us and taking note of our progress in the faith. This “crowd of witnesses” is watching us and cheering us on, if you will. That’s just one interpretation of the passage, of course. We don’t know for certain that there are heavenly grandstands where people monitor the progress of loved ones living out their lives on earth. But it wouldn’t surprise me if that were true. I do, however, know this much: We are in the race of our lives on earth, and none of us knows how long it will last. So, we must make the most of it. We must live our lives to please not the bystanders but the Lord Himself. We must make decisions and interact with others in ways that honor and pique curiosity about Him. We must leave a legacy that inspires other believers—the ones we will cheer on when we join the crowd of witnesses.

What does it mean that God formed us from the "dust of the ground" and what does this ubiquitous symbol of the Old Testament teach us about God and His interactions in our life?  Show Notes: Connect with us on Instagram or Facebook Music: "Indie Vibes" by Roybushband

Benjamin Gladd and Nancy Guthrie outline principles for making sound biblical connections, tracing themes in the text, and avoiding common pitfalls of biblical interpretation. The New Testament includes 350 direct quotations from the Old, along with 6000–8,000 Old Testament allusions. Deep Bible study and the proper use of cross-references will help us rightly interpret both testaments in light of each other and better understand how all the Scriptures together point to Christ.

Segment 1 • The push to abandon church buildings for “first-century house churches”: admirable or misguided? • Did the early church reject formal worship spaces, like church buildings? • Old Testament and synagogue patterns challenge the modern church narratives. Segment 2 • The popular image of early Christian churches: casual gatherings with no leaders or structure. • Historical evidence shows early worship was organized and liturgical. • The “pure house church” idea may be a modern projection. Segment 3 • Two major historical events forced believers out of synagogues and public worship. • As time went on, Christians increasingly faced expulsion and persecution from their governments. • Change of pace: how much has parenting really changed since the 80's and 90's? Segment 4 • What does modern-day church gathering and discipleship look like? • Though parenting is never easy, parents today face difficulties that they didn't 20 or 30 years ago. • How can churches and communities come together, gather around families, and love and support children together? ___ Thanks for listening!
