Welcome to the Live for More Podcast from River Oak Church in Chesapeake, Virginia. In this episode, Pastor Zach sits down with Pastor Eric to talk about two things many believers want help with:- How to study the Bible faithfully- How to teach it clearly—at home, in a group, or in the churchPastor Eric walks through his real sermon preparation process—how he studies verse-by-verse, identifies themes, builds a clear outline, and then connects the text to real life in Chesapeake in 2026. You'll also hear practical recommendations for tools like study Bibles, Blue Letter Bible, Bible Hub, trusted commentaries, and why you should avoid jumping to commentaries first.This conversation also models how to read Scripture with context and apply it without twisting it—using Mark 15 (Jesus' trial and Barabbas) as a case study. We talk about the danger of comfort, the fear of man, the temptation to “satisfy the crowd,” and how the innocence of Jesus exposes the darkness in every human heart.If you're a parent, small group leader, student, or new believer who wants to grow in Bible confidence—this episode is for you.

Welcome to the Live for More Podcast, a new podcast from River Oak Church. In this episode, Pastors Zach and Caleb explain the heart behind the new name and dive deep into Mark 14, where Jesus is betrayed, arrested, and abandoned by those closest to Him.This conversation explores a question every human wrestles with:Is there more to life than living for myself?Through the lens of Scripture, we look at three common responses when faith is tested:- Fighting with the world's weapons- Fleeing in fear and self-preservation- Trusting Christ and standing on God's WordYou'll hear practical insight on:- Why “live for you” is a spiritual dead end- What Judas, Peter, and the fleeing disciple reveal about the human heart- How fear often outweighs faith — and how that can change- Responding to betrayal with mercy instead of bitterness- Why Jesus doesn't need us to defend Him — but He does call us to be faithful- How hiding God's Word in your heart prepares you for spiritual battle- A simple GPS method for reading Scripture (God, People, Self)- What it means to live boldly for Christ in uncertain times
