Have you ever wanted to read the Bible more deeply? Maybe you grew up in a church community where you became dependent on a preacher or priest to do the work for you? Or maybe you've found that you don't know how to read the Bible without the help of a devotional, study guide, or podcast? In this episode, we continue looking at how we can stop reading the Bible and start studying it. Join us as we continue our journey by further examining how historical knowledge helps us better understand and apply the biblical text.

Have you ever struggled to know whether a pastor was qualified for their job? Or if they were doing the things a pastor should be doing? Ever wondered what the Bible says about what the role of a pastor is? This is a contentious topic in the Church today, but thankfully, it is not a new one. By using historical context, solid biblical interpretation, and wise application in our lives, we can put the puzzle pieces together to give grace to our pastors and help them fulfill their responsibility to God and their congregations well. Join us as we continue to examine this topic more closely to learn how to find balance between tradition and Biblical truth.

Christianity tends to drift to extremes regarding beliefs in spiritual beings in the unseen world. On one side, it is never discussed, and a culture of fear results. On the other, spiritual beings are hyper-sensationalized to the point where fear also results. In this series, we will examine what the Bible says about the spiritual space, what beings inhabit it, and how we can interact with it in a healthy way. Join us for this session, where we continue examining God's original design for the spiritual space.

We do a lot of odd things in the Christian faith. The danger of being a long-time Christian is that we can spend our whole lives doing these things, and why we do them never gets explained. The danger of being a new Christian is that many church communities cannot tell you why we do what we do because no one ever told them. We just do them. This series aims to examine the Christian faith's traditions, practices, and sacraments so that we can know what we are doing in our faith and why we are doing it. Join us for this session as we examine the tradition of Ash Wednesday services and the Lent season to understand their origins and history and how we can learn from this practice to refocus our lives on God's Kingdom.

In this age of technology and social media, it can be easy to feel like we know someone simply by their content. Sadly, this has led many to have a false sense of intimacy with someone, only to find out later that they do not know them as well as they thought. The same is true of our relationship with God; we can confuse knowledge of His content with His character. When we endure trauma, loss, and suffering, we can feel betrayed by Him. A failure to understand character always leads to fracture. Join us as we examine Abraham's life to find ways to avoid this pitfall in our lives, both with people and with God.

When will the world come to an end? Are we in the last days? Are you worried about being left behind? These are questions I often heard when I was growing up. In church services, we would listen to sermons on how Jesus was coming back soon and that a massive time of tribulation was about to go on for the Church around the world. Fears of the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast, and fiery judgment left me confused and fearful. Maybe you have heard or experienced similar things and wondered how true they were. Join us as we continue this series on the Book of Revelation by finishing chapter 22 and looking at final applications from this book study.
