Old Testament Episodes

So, I walked into today's program preparation like every other day. But something clicked and given the context of where we are in scripture, I just didn't expect it. Earlier today, I did a study on the history leading up to the birth of Jesus. Then, on a completely unrelated part of scripture, that study became relevant. It wasn't the central theme, but it was a key component. But that was only part of it. As I'm reading, I'm watching how divine orchestration plays out. And it is there that ...

When you hear your typical church service about Christmas, more often than not, the story jumps to Luke narrative, Luke, Chapter 2, verses 8 through 14. Linus recites this in the Charlie Brown Christmas! It's one of my absolute favorite readings of this scripture. But what many don't realize is that the History of the birth of Jesus has a narrative that goes back to the very beginning of the Old Testament and threads its way all the way to the Luke story we are so fond of. Stick around to ...

This was such an odd request that we had to pay attention. The request was to act in response to the main character - the Demon - in the movie Nefarious. Nefarious is a psychological horror film centered entirely on an intense conversation between an atheist psychiatrist, Dr. James Martin, and a convicted serial killer, Edward Wayne Brady, in a prison on the day of Edward's scheduled execution. The psychiatrist must determine Edward's sanity to decide if the execution can proceed, but Edward ...

How many times have you heard that we are created in the image of God? A lot, right? And more often than not, the person that speaks that phrase is conflating the meaning as if we are clones and replicas of God Himself. We want to dispel that myth.

Producing this podcast was somewhat convicting for me because I recognized that in my own fascination with the origin of the giants in Genesis I was missing the most important point. So, I want to use this podcast to put the question to bed. There are other resources if you want to chase giants, Nephilim and the like but they are not the main focus of the Bible. God does have to deal with them, both before and after the flood but ultimately, you'll discover that God's grace is bigger than the Gi...

If you've heard about Torah Codes (or Bible Codes), you might dismiss this Podcast - BUT HOLD ON. This is different. This is NOT a random sequence of letters that most Bible Code enthusiasts love to find. This is much more complex than that. 1. The codes are repetitive and predictable (once you know the sequence) 2. The words (revealed in the Podcast) are repeated over and over again... this is not just the random appearance of a word the might or might not be by chance. The probability of...

The Scapegoat has such significance. We often think of the Scapegoat in a negative way... someone using and excuse to get away with something. But that's not what the scapegoat was. Dig into this deep dive.

Understanding Cain and Abel starts with understanding the motivations to glorify God. Upon first reading, one is often puzzled as to why God rejects Cain's offering. Listen to this deep dive. Genesis 3:15 - And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers... Genesis 4:3-5 - In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. T...

Free Will and God. Your choices have eternal consequences... but they are your choices. Choose Wisely : )

The creation story of Genesis, specifically the separation of light from darkness on the first day, is presented as a foundational moment in the universe, introducing order, rhythm, and the concept of time itself.
