Beauty pageants, palace intrigues, genocide and a courageous strong woman!  What a story!!

This week, Ryan Murphy shares on "The Joy of Reading the Bible", from Psalm 1.

Who got the story right? As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we turn to 2 Chronicles and King Hezekiah.   Most of us don’t know Hezekiah that well, but it turns out that his story is told in not one, not two, but three different books!  So which is right? Today’s theme though isn’t really simply […]

In this solo episode, Alex gets personal with life updates and opens up about how faith has become a bigger part of both her life and this podcast. She shares why so many listeners have been asking about faith and the Bible, and she's here to break it down in a way that feels approachable—even if you don't know where to start. Alex introduces the SOAP method (a super simple way to study scripture), explains why different Bible translations matter, and talks about how understanding context can make a huge difference when reading ancient texts. She also dives into the power of community in faith, why struggling with scripture is totally normal, and how starting in the New Testament can give you a solid foundation. Most importantly—there's no such thing as doing it perfectly. If you miss a day, that's okay. God isn't keeping score; He's celebrating your curiosity and patience in the process. So whether you're new to faith or just looking for a fresh perspective, this episode is all about giving yourself grace and growing. LET'S CONNECT

As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we turn to 1 Chronicles and … (wait for it) … ancient Israelite genealogies! This particular one is from 1 Chronicles 4:1-10.  (If you do fast forward, pay attention to the last twenty or so seconds of it!) Yet in these genealogies, I suggest, we discover a surprising answer […]

This is message 19 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 18:1-7 Ethiopia's role in biblical prophecy reveals God's sovereignty over nations and His control over history. Though powerful in trade and diplomacy, Ethiopia's alliances could not secure its future—only the Lord could. In time, Ethiopia would recognize His authority, bringing tribute to Zion and embracing the truth of God. From the Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon to the Ethiopian eunuch's conversion, the nation's spiritual journey reflects God's plan to draw all people to Himself.

Flaming chariots, blinded armies and a meal of mercy.  What is going on here! As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we turn to 2 Kings and the work of the prophet Elisha.  As a whole, 2 Kings is a “sad” part of Scripture in which things generally go from bad to worse.  However, there are […]

This story is a bit like the red pill in the movie the Matrix.  Reading it challenges our conceptions of free will and how God works in our world. Get ready for some fun! As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we turn to 1 Kings and the less well known prophet Micaiah (1 Kings 22).  […]

The best and easiest way to study and interpret the Bible, especially the problematic passages most of us don't know what to do with, is by seeing it as the story of God. Check out all of our content on our website, thinkingtheologically.orgMusic:"Kid Kodi"Blue Dot Sessionswww.sessions.blue

God uses the Bible to inspire, empower, and help us live as God's people. This week pray, “God, rid me of my temptation to believe your Word is too difficult for me.

This week, we look at another R rated part of scripture: King David’s affair with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband.   As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we focus on David’s moral collapse, as recorded in 2nd Samuel (chapter 11-12).  My sense is that most of us, even if we attended Sunday School, didn’t study […]

In this episode, I reflect on how I've been stepping deeper into my purpose by regularly teaching & guiding others, reflecting on how I've been here before in 2024 but then gave up, reading through the bible for the first time, & more.

Did you have a sense of wonder about life and about God as a child? Many humans do…but this doesn’t always endure. The book of 1 Samuel allows us to follow a number of people from their childhood until their death.  Like us, they go through life’s ups and downs, both inspired and dejected at […]

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/21/25), Hank answers the following questions:We were blessed to birth a new church and are looking into a discipleship program. Is the Sermon on the Mount good for Christian discipleship? Mike - Forest Town, TN (0:54)I was raised Catholic but never read the Bible. I always felt like something was missing in my life. Then I got a Bible from my sister and started reading, and it made a difference. Joel - Paramus, NJ (7:10)I received from a Jehovah's Witness the book Truth and Translation by Jason David BeDuhn.

Do conservatives care about the poor?  Do liberals care about family values at all?  The book of Ruth provides us a glimpse at how God calls us to love BOTH our family and the stranger in need.   As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we look at the moving story of Ruth.  Although it is a […]

Welcome to the book of Judges.  R-rated at best, this is an intense book of violence, societal breakdown and strong women.  The book, which slows the moral collapse of a people, ironically ends up also highlighting the importance of leadership.  As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we focus on Deborah and the book of the Judges.

Many believers struggle with consistently reading the Bible, often falling into common excuses.

On this episode of the WSNS Podcast, I would like to discuss the power of reading and engaging in Scripture.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Flying Free Podcast, I sit down with author and essayist Liz Charlotte Grant to explore the complexities of faith, scripture, and healing after spiritual trauma. Liz's debut book, Knock at the Sky, delves into the questions many of us grapple with during deconstruction and offers an artistic, fresh approach to reading the Bible.If you've ever felt disillusioned by literal interpretations of scripture or struggled to reconcile the Bible with the harm inflicted by its misuse, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways:Faith as a Journey, Not a DestinationLiz encourages listeners to embrace uncertainty and approach the Bible with curiosity rather than fear.Faith isn't about having all the answers; it's about walking into the unknown with Jesus as your anchor.Permission to Wrestle and QuestionDeconstruction doesn't signal a loss of faith but rather an act of trust. Asking questions shows a desire for authenticity in our relationship with God.Survivor-Centric Bible ReadingSurvivors of spiritual abuse can reclaim agency by approaching scripture in ways that feel safe and healing. It's okay to prioritize certain passages while setting others aside.Diverse Perspectives Enrich UnderstandingLiz emphasizes the value of exploring interpretations from scholars across cultures and disciplines to deepen our understanding of scripture.Read the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources: Liz Charlotte Grant's book: Knock at the Sky: Seeking God in Genesis After Losing Faith in the BibleLiz Charlotte's website: lizcharlottegrant.comFollow Liz Charlotte on InstagramRecommended episodes: Episode 283, “A Closer Look at Spiritual Abuse,” and Episode 291, “The Deconstruction Books That Have Changed and Healed My Relationship with God.”Liz Charlotte Grant is an award-winning essayist whose first book, Knock at the Sky: Seeking God in Genesis After Losing Faith in the Bible, released in January 2025. She explores a wide range of ideas in her writing, including exploring the heartbreak of Elisabeth Elliot's third marriage, her own surprise disability, and the discovery of dark matter. 

The podcast is back! Today Mike and I are chatting about what we've been up to the last few months. We are also talking about:

“Hear O Israel, the LORD your God is one.”   Boom! These are the most important words Moses says in the Bible, if not the most important words in the whole Old Testament. As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we look at the book of Deuteronomy.  We will focus specifically on the words of Moses in […]

We continue working through the #BibleInAYear, looking at the book of Numbers.  This book isn’t about numbers though, it is about the wilderness!  Crazy, big and wild — both God and life! Some come aboard for some adventure.  We will look at Numbers 22, sometimes referred to as “Balaam’s talking Ass.” Note:  This podcast is […]

The most popular book of all time is the Bible. Have you read it? Why do so many of us struggle to read it, especially considering how much good it can do in our life? Today, Brett shares part 1 about the importance of reading the Bible by looking at why we should prioritize reading the Bible. 00:00 - Introduction - 2 Timothy 3:16-17 04:06 - Psalm 119:9-11 04:35 - Obedience 04:59 - 2 Timothy 2:1506:28 - 2 Peter 1:24 & 2 Peter 2:2-3 07:06 - Romans 10:1707:44 - Acts 17:1011:09 - Isaiah 55:11 Share your stories, prayer requests, or your response to this devotional in the comments below.

We continue working through the #BibleInAYear.   This week we focus on Leviticus, probably one of the harder books of the Bible to read.  Fear not, we will get through this book together — and discover it still speaks to us!  To get us into Leviticus, we look at some of the laws laid out in […]

Send us a textIn this episode we go back again to the research and studies done on bible reading. See below for the Scientific Evidence for the Power of 4, which is the moral changes that come about through engaging in God's word four days a week. But what if even before we get to actually reading we try to understand what it REALLY is that keeps people from reading their bibles? Is it excuses? Is it laziness? What is it? And what was found through this research is that what keeps people from reading their bibles is either...A. They don't know how or where to start.B. When they do read they don't understand. In this episode we look at two ways to go to war against these two very real things that keep us from tapping into the Power of Four. https://bttbfiles.com/web/docs/cbe/Scientific_Evidence_for_the_Power_of_4.pdf

We continue with our reading of the Bible in one year by looking at Exodus.  The focus story is the call of Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3). The first part of the podcast is about “exodus” – the liberation of the ancient Israelites.  This is the theme, but we need to make sure […]

Reading the Bible and taking in the Scriptures is an important aspect of the Christian life. But when you have obsessive-compulsive struggles, this can be very challenging. When you have OCD issues, reading Scripture can trigger a lot of anxiety and distress. If you struggle when it comes to your Bible reading, you are not […]

Congratulations, you've completed the Early World period! As we journey into the Patriarchs period, Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike to set the scene. They discuss the themes of Genesis 12-50, how it differs from the first 11 chapters of Genesis, and how it slowly reveals God's plan to redeem mankind. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Should we read the Bible through a microscope or a telescope? Where is God in the Rahab story? Will you look up to see God? In today's episode, Jeff shares how Joshua 2 encourages us to how God uses unlikely people and circumstances for his glorious story. Read the Bible with us in 2025!
