Summary

Get Used to Different On the heels of our 'Getting to Square One' mini-series — and before introducing our next series — we’re pausing to watch some TV! The Bible Geeks AV Club is back as we talk through 'The Chosen' Season 1, Episode 7. As always, our goal is to ground the show’s events in the relevant Biblical truths and events. We focus on Jesus' dialogue with Nicodemus in John’s gospel. What does it mean to be born again of water and the Spirit? What does the Bible really say about Nicodemus? We go through his story in a segment we call, “Hello, My Name Is…” and then we close with a Reach

"Every Perfect Gift" by Ryan Goodwin

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

290 | Seven Sermon Summer Surfin’ Spectacular | Peel Back the Layers of God's Grace Grab your sunscreen and a cold glass of homemade watermelon agua fresca — the Seven Sermon Summer Surfin' Spectacular is rolling on! This week, guest speaker Ryan Goodwin joins us to unpack a fascinating question: Why does James 1:17 make a distinction between "every good thing given" and "every perfect gift"? Through a beautifully illustrated lesson with Grandpa's baseball mitt, a hand-forged Roman iron spike, and a set of custom Russian nesting dolls, Ryan breaks down "the gift behind the gift." We'll explore

James Inside-Out | "There You Are"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

289 | Build a Whole Faith What if faith isn’t mainly about what you know or what you say, but what’s happening inside you that inevitably works its way out into your everyday life? To close out the season, we’re diving into the book of James for a deep look at “blue-collar,” inside-out Christianity. With a high-stakes lightning round of “Jesus or James,” we see how heavily James borrows from the Sermon on the Mount. Then, we pull back the hood on all five chapters to map out how a wholehearted faith radically reframes our trials, transforms our words, and exposes the inner wars driving our out

Mini: Imagining Home | "Eutychuses Everywhere"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

288 | Think of Your Eternal Home When you close your eyes and imagine eternity, does it feel a little fuzzy, blurry, or — dare we say — boring? Too many of us treat our final destination like a vague cloud-land instead of the vibrant home it’s actually designed to be. Inspired by a late-night question from Ryan’s daughter and a beautiful womb analogy, this mini-episode takes a sledgehammer to the misconceptions of the afterlife. We’re kicking open the door to Revelation 21 and 22 to look at the powerful “negatives” that reveal a beautiful positive. From the erasure of the chaotic sea and restr

Paul Upside-Down | "That Doesn't Make Any Sense"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

287 | Live the Upside-Down Life What does real strength look like in the kingdom of God? We live in a world obsessed with a scorecard of independence, power, polish, and visible success. But in this episode, we dive into 2 Corinthians to look at Paul’s completely inverted, upside-down life. From the shocking historical context of a Roman triumphal procession — where we discover we are actually the captured slaves walking behind the Conqueror — to the fragile reality of being a literal “shoebox” holding a priceless treasure, Paul flips our ideas of success completely on their head. We explore h
