More To The Story: Dan McClellan has spent much of his life learning—and relearning—what the Bible and its authors were trying to tell us. But his years in graduate school also taught him that the way scholars talk about the Bible is much different from how churchgoers discuss it. Several years ago, McClellan began pushing back against what he saw as misguided biblical interpretations online and soon gained a following. Today, he has almost 1 million followers on TikTok who look for his thoughts on topics like the “sin of empathy,” what the Bible says about slavery, or maybe just to see what graphic T-shirt he has decided to wear that day. On this week's More To The Story, McClellan sits down with host Al Letson to talk about the ways people throughout history have used the Bible to serve their own interests, and a time when his own perspective of the Bible was challenged.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy Editor: Nikki Frick |Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonListen: In God We Vote (Reveal)Read: Christian “TheoBros” Are Building a Tech Utopia in Appalachia (Mother Jones)Listen: A Christian Nationalist Has Second Thoughts (More To The Story)Read: The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture's Most Controversial Issues (St. Martin's Essentials) Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Twenty-two days ago, a mysterious advent calendar arrived on Officer Matthew Klein's doorstep — no sender, no explanation, just twenty-four doors and a carved bearded face with hollow eyes. Since then, Marshport has become a graveyard. The entity behind it has a name now: Zurvan, an ancient demon whose mid-winter worship culminates on December 24th — the same demon that ten-year-old Matthew and his seven-year-old brother Steven accidentally summoned through a spirit board on Christmas Eve, 1995, the night their house burned to the ground. Zurvan has possessed Matthew's best friend, his own son, and a detective whose head he twisted completely around. On December 22nd, he proved the Bible verse about Legion true — the decomposing corpse of Wilbur Ward rose from the basement, levitated through the hallway, and snapped Pastor Hart's neck like kindling. Matthew's world went dark. The demon's final words echoed into oblivion: "Time's up." Two doors remain. Two days until Zurvan's celebration officially arrives.Get the print version of the novel: https://weirddarkness.com/AdventOfEvil#WeirdDarkness #ChristmasHorror #HolidayHorror #SupernaturalThriller #HauntedCalendar #DarkChristmas #HorrorStory #DemonicEvil #CreepyTales #YuletideTerror

Why is disclosure happening now — and who has been preparing us for it?In this episode, we examine the growing wave of government transparency around UAPs and non-human intelligence alongside the release of The Age of Disclosure documentary, featuring sworn testimony from intelligence and military officials. At the same time, Hollywood is amplifying the narrative — most notably through Steven Spielberg's upcoming film Disclosure Day.Spielberg has shaped how the world emotionally understands aliens for decades. So why release a film centered on disclosure now? Why does the timing matter — culturally, psychologically, and spiritually?Through a biblical lens, we explore:• UAPs and transmedium objects• Government testimony and legacy programs• Disclosure Day and predictive programming• The symbolism, timing, and narrative shift• Why Christians must engage with discernment, not fearThis episode isn't about speculation — it's about understanding patterns, authority, and spiritual implications in a moment when long-withheld information is finally surfacing.https://theanastasiaco.com - Christian Gifts, ApparelCODE: EYESONTHERIGHTAmy is a Christian counselor- to book a session:https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.comAmy's online Bible studies:https://rumble.com/c/BibleStudywithEyesontherighthttps://www.instagram.com/eyesontherightpodcast/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/eyesontheright4.0/?hl=en

The shepherds were ordinary people, faithfully tending their flocks, when God interrupted their routine with extraordinary news. Chosen to witness the birth of the Savior, these humble outcasts responded with immediate obedience, awe, and heartfelt praise. Luke’s Gospel reminds us that God meets us exactly where we are—not where we think we should be. True worship isn’t limited to church services or special moments; it flows from obedience, attentiveness, and living each moment for God’s glory. Like the shepherds, we are invited to respond to Jesus with joyful praise and to glorify God in the everyday rhythms of life. Main Takeaways You’ll learn why God often meets us in ordinary moments, just as He did with the shepherds. Discover how obedience to God naturally leads to joy and worship. Understand that worship extends beyond singing—it includes everyday acts done for God’s glory. Be encouraged that God can use you right where you are, regardless of your circumstances. Reflect on how living with eternity in mind shapes a life of praise and purpose.

Open our eyes to see Your presence in our daily routines and help us respond with obedience, joy, and praise. Teach us to do everything—both big and small—for Your honor. May our lives reflect worship in spirit and in truth, and may we boldly share the good news of Jesus, just as the shepherds did.Amen. Want More?

Merry Christmas from Unshaken Faith! In this special holiday episode, we're mixing some festive fun with some serious discernment.We'll kick things off with our annual "Christmas Karens" who need to have some discussions with managers (if you're new to the Christmas livestream event, you'll soon understand what that means). Then we'll be doing a fun "Year in Review" where we talk about things like the most overconfident thoughts we had this year that reality quickly corrected. Then we'll pivot to a timely and important conversation as we review the progressive Christian book Better Ways to Read the Bible by Zach Lambert. We'll walk through the interpretive “lenses” Lambert proposes, explain where we agree, and then take a careful look at where this approach goes wrong. If you want to skip the Christmas banter, the book review begins at the 01:13 mark. This episode originally aired on YouTube on Dec. 16th. Be sure and subscribe if you want to watch the video!

We've made it to the final week of our Bible study through The Wild Invitation, and wow — what a ride through the book of Acts! This week, we're reflecting on how the early church's boldness and reliance on the Holy Spirit weren't just for then — they're for us today, too. We talk about living as modern-day witnesses of Jesus, navigating seasons of quiet obedience, and how to follow the Spirit's lead in our everyday lives (even if that means striking up a convo at a pizza shop). We also open up about feeling inspired and overwhelmed — how sometimes the mission feels big when we're weary or in a harder season. But Acts reminds us: God uses the ordinary. The story's not over. We're invited in. It's not just their story — it's ours too. Let's say yes to this wild, bold, Spirit-led life.

"Come prepared to give a brief contextual overview of each books - don't summarize each book, share any details we need to know about author, audience, and main themes. Then be ready to answer the following: 1. In 3 John, we see a contrast between Gaius, who shows hospitality to gospel workers, and Diotrephes, who refuses them. What does this teach us about the role of hospitality in advancing the mission of the church? 2. Jude urges believers to ‘contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints' (v. 3). What does it look like to contend for the faith without becoming quarrelsome or divisive? 3. Jude ends with one of the most powerful doxologies in the New Testament—God is able to keep us from stumbling. How does that promise encourage believers in the face of both personal weakness and external opposition?

Spiritual maturity doesn't begin with changing your behavior; it begins with reshaping your desires. By grace, growing as a follower of Jesus means learning to want what God wants, to value what he values, and to bring your heart into alignment with his.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul explores what Jesus came to do, and just as importantly, what he did not come to do, so that we learn to ask from Jesus only what he delights to give.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

When Paul talks about the hope of eternal life, he considers the word a crucial ingredient — but does he mean the word he preached or the Word who became flesh?

What is ‘the Christmas story' really? And how does it change when you tell it from within a different religious tradition? In Conflicted's first-ever Christmas Special, Thomas and Aimen retell the Nativity as it appears in the Gospels and in the Qur'an.  They discuss: Who were the Magi? Zoroastrian priests or Nabataean nomads? How the Nativity story differs between the Bible and the Qur'an A controversial theory about how local Christian traditions may have shaped the Qur'anic telling The overlooked reason why Qur'an presumes its audience already knows the underlying stories Christ's ‘unfinished business' in Islam: the Second Coming and the fight against the Antichrist The sharpest divergence: the Crucifixion and what it implies about Jesus' mission Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/  Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter invites us into the December 23rd reading—day 358 on our year-long journey through Scripture. Together, we explore John chapters 15 through 18, where Jesus prepares his disciples for what's to come, sharing timeless wisdom about staying connected to the true Vine, loving one another, and embracing courage in the face of trials. As Hunter reminds us, this isn't just about reading the Bible; it's about experiencing real transformation from the God who is with us and who is love, fully revealed in Jesus. Today's episode weaves together the words of Jesus with Hunter's thoughtful reflections and heartfelt prayers, encouraging us to hold tightly to faith—even when we face sorrow, confusion, or fear. We're reminded that though life brings hardships, we can take heart knowing Christ has overcome the world. Join us for Scripture reading, practical spiritual guidance, and a time of prayer that aims to deepen your faith and bring peace to your heart. Let's journey together and remember: you are loved—no doubt about it! Certainly! Here is the requested devotional section transcribed, matching the tone, style, and format of your example: TODAY'S DEVOTION: Do you really believe? In John 16, we see Jesus trying to describe his relationship with the Father. He's preparing his disciples for what is about to happen, trying to help them see, but they struggle to understand. And finally—perhaps unsure, perhaps overwhelmed—the disciples say, "Yes, Lord, now you're speaking plainly. Now we understand." But did they really? I can't help but think that Jesus knew they did not truly understand. In fact, he gently calls them out, asking, "Do you really believe?" He tells them that the time is coming—even now—when they'll be scattered, each going his own way, leaving him alone. If they really understood, would they do that? And yet, Jesus says, "I am not alone, for the Father is with me." In this moment, Jesus is being honest with his disciples—and with us. Sometimes we think we believe, but when troubles come, we run and hide. Jesus is inviting us into something deeper than a moment of affirmation. He's inviting us into a life that stands firm when trials come. He tells his disciples—he tells us—what a heart of faith truly looks like: "I've told you these things so that you may have peace in me. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart; I have overcome the world." Troubles are real. Hardships will come. Sometimes there's a pandemic. Sometimes there's loss or fear. But Jesus says take heart, have courage, because he has overcome the world. We don't need to flee. We need to remember that Jesus is with us, and his very presence is enough to see us through whatever troubles we face. So let me ask you, as I ask myself: Do you really believe, or are you running and hiding? Have we learned to hear and receive his word—"Take heart! I have overcome the world"? Let's not run or hide but walk with him, through all of our troubles, knowing he has the power to overcome and that he is always with us. That is my prayer for my own soul. It's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, daughters, and son. And that is a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
