Did fallen angels make babies with women to make giants?! You may not be aware of the Nephilim, but these are giant humans mentioned throughout the Old Testament…but where did they come from? Why don't we see them today?On today's podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the controversial origin story of the Nephilim that is first mentioned in Genesis 6. We spend time looking at a couple different popular schools of thought on the issue, where we land on it, and examples of Nephilim throughout the Bible (hint: they show up more than you think!) The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

With modern medicine comes controversial questions. Today we're talking about sperm donation and artificial insemination. Is it wrong for Christians to do? Is there sexual sin involved? Are there any differences between these options and IVF?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question around the nature of sperm donation and artificial insemination to get an idea if either of these options would be appropriate for a Christian to consider. We look at the different circumstances in which they are used and the morality of how sperm is donated and the impact on the mother and the eventual children.

What are the medical ramifications?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question around circumcision and how Christians should think about it today.

The Tribe That Should Never Have Been | Isaiah 15-16 | Pastor Derek Balaam by GraceChurchNJ

Pastor Derek continues our study through 1 Corinthians with a closer look at what our resurrected bodies will actually be like and the hope we have in this life, not being the end or where our confidence lies.

This week, Matt asks Pastor Derek whether it's okay to participate in cultural traditions like teaching our kids about Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. Does this count as lying? Could it potentially harm their faith in the long run? They follow up with a conversation about what it means that Jesus was "subject to God."

Election...a triggering term for some, but then again, God must have predetermined them to feel that way about it. Why do people reject this doctrine?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question regarding the doctrine of election. We look at Scriptures that show that election is a biblical concept that God references often, but also dig into different theological views that bring so much energy and debate amongst Christian debates. We tackle why this doctrine is often rejected as well as practical ways to teach it in a way that is aligned with Scripture.

How do we know what is okay and what isn't when God has created it all?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question regarding the use of tobacco in various forms and how to discern when we should use/consume things that God has created and when we should avoid them.

You Had It All, But You Lost It | Isaiah 5 | Pastor Derek Balaam by GraceChurchNJ

Pastor Derek continues our journey through the book of 1 Corinthians as he teaches on Paul's encouragement to cling to the Gospel and trust in the resurrection.

This week, Matt asks Pastor Derek about Daniel's absence during the events involving Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. In a separate discussion, Matt raises a question about the Apostles' Creed: What does it mean when it says, “He descended into hell”? Pastor Derek explores the historical and biblical meaning behind the phrase, which leads to a discussion about whether Jesus needed to be raised from the dead for us to be justified. In his response, Pastor Derek emphasizes that the imputation of Christ's righteousness is a crucial—yet often overlooked—element of the Gospel.   Check us out on YouTube: https://youtu.be/HU6dumpnetQ

Gloom and Glory | Isaiah 3:1-4:6 | Pastor Derek Balaam by GraceChurchNJ

Many know of David's infamous mighty men, but who were they? What made them so mighty? Were there actually 30 of them?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question regarding the background of David's mighty men. We look through all of the awesome, but rather challenging to pronounce names of David's strongest men and dig into the stories of what made them men of such renown.

Bible Q&A Show with Pastor Derek

Q&A Show with Pastor Derek

Q&A Show with Pastor Derek

This week, Matt asks Pastor Derek whether 1 Corinthians' description of Jesus as a rock is meant to be taken literally or figuratively. They go on to discuss how to find motivation to seek Christ during seasons of spiritual dryness, and how to balance peace and pressure when making decisions. The episode wraps up with a conversation about why we take communion twice a month, followed by a lighthearted discussion about music.   Check us out on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NXgo1PKVeZU  

In this powerful message, "A MasterClass in Prayer," Pastor Derek Holmes unpacks Jesus’ response to one of the most profound requests ever made: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1-13). What unfolds is not just a model for prayer, but a window into the very heart of God. Pastor Derek reminds us that prayer isn’t merely a transaction—about getting what we want from God—but a transformation, where we are drawn closer to the Father’s will and presence. Whether you’re new to prayer or seeking a deeper connection with God, this episode invites you to reimagine prayer as a life-shaping relationship, not a religious ritual.

Pastor Derek explains how a number of theological paradoxes can be resolved, in particular, the difference between relationship (positional truth) and fellowship (temporal truth) scriptures. Understanding these 2 distinct realms allows us to receive both scriptures fully, and apply them correctly, especially in the area of forgiveness.

Pastor Derek reveals the origins of the Gospel in the Year of Jubilee, which took place on the Day of Atonement, when the Jubilee trumpeters proclaimed forgiveness, release and restoration for all, throughout all the land, on the basis of the great sacrifice made on that day (Leviticus 25). Jesus initiated the preaching of the Gospel, and commanded us to continue preaching this same Gospel. In Luke 4, Jesus claimed that His preaching of the Gospel was the fulfilment of Isaiah 61, a prophecy of the Messiah fulfilling the Type of Jubilee for all men by preaching Good News to the poor, proclaiming the Acceptable Year of the Lord, on the basis of God's acceptance of His great final Sacrifice (Isaiah 53).

This week Pastor Derek sits down with Matt to answer the following questions: How does membership differ from a cult? Do you feel like we'll ever leave the current age of Christian mediocrity? Why don't pastors have higher standards for whether or not they'll marry a couple?   Check us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqpDq3r_-hA  

Most Christians are aware of the Trinity, but how would you explain it? Is being 3 in 1 really a possibility? Whats the best illustration out there to understand it?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question about how to explain the Trinity. Whether you're new to the faith or have been around the block a few times, explaining the Trinity is a challenging feat. We look at Scriptures that explain how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all one God, yet three distinct persons.

You're Way Off Course, But Let's Talk | Isaiah 1 | Pastor Derek Balaam by GraceChurchNJ

With Easter just passing, its worth asking: Is Easter even legit? Is there merit to celebrating it? Was Jesus actually dead in the first place?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through some of the common arguments against the whole basis of Easter. We talk through arguments around whether Jesus was ever really dead in the first place and if he was dead, how do we make light of Scripture seeming to contradict itself on the exact length of time Jesus was in the tomb. Some of these arguments have caused many people to have questions, so we hope to dispel some of those concerns in this podcast!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

Pastor Derek puts together clues from the Bible, ancient history and modern science to prove Tarshish is Britain. This matters, because 3 end-time prophecies about Tarshish give us hope for this nation.

Tough Love is a phrase many are familiar with, but does it work? And more importantly, is it biblical? In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie answer a listener question around whether or not showing "tough love" is a proper thing for Christians to do when it comes to parenting, dealing with a loved one living in sin/addiction, or even just with another brother or sister in Christ wrapped up in sinful lifestyles. We look through the Scriptures to find evidence of how to love and discipline properly, as well as a fundamental key to making any toughness work when it comes to disciplining someone else.

Jesus isn't just a prophet, teacher, or cultural figure. He's the King of Glory. This weekend, Pastor Derek reminded us that the question Jesus asked His disciples in Matthew 16 still echoes today: “Who do YOU say I am?” Some say He's a teacher. Others say He's a prophet. But the real answer isn't found in opinion—it's found in revelation. ✦ Jesus is the Christ. ✦ He is the Son of the Living God. ✦ He is the King whose Kingdom is not of this world. That truth changes everything. It's the rock He builds His church on. And when you receive that revelation, you don't just believe differently—you live differently.

We all know the story of Adam and Eve eating the fruit, but what were the real consequences of that? How did this decision impact creation, man, and woman?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie answer a listener question around the true consequences of the fall of mankind.

You ever feel like serving costs more than it's worth? Like obedience is inconvenient… and forgiveness feels unfair? This message from Pastor Derek flips all that upside down. Because in the Kingdom of God, the path forward is found in going low. ✔️ Serve even when it's hard ✔️ Forgive even when it's undeserved ✔️ Obey even when it's inconvenient Jesus didn't come to be served—He came to serve. And if He did it, we can too. This week, choose the posture that unlocks reconciliation, faith, and purpose. Just do it.
