CONFIRMATION: Making your election sure. "The 'If' in Life." Spirit testimony. Cockroach Poker.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! It’s not that I’m cynical; really I’m not. But sometimes I just need a little extra testimony to convince me that things are as they present themselves. And that’s not a bad thing. Today we’ll discuss how to get confirmation of our eternal destiny; how God’s claims are even more outrageous than those of a professional athlete – and that’s saying something; how God speaks to us to tell us we’re on the right track (or not); and the risks we take in games and in life when we take people at their word.

Circles and Rows - When sitting in a pew at church replaces daily fellowship with the faithful.

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! *Note—As repeatedly mentioned in the episode, this is not about circles over rows or circles replacing rows. However, a couple of hours of worship does not make a great, healthy, interactive Bible student. We need to talk, share, wrestle, and help. God's people need to learn critical thinking, which only happens with great discipline in a row, but can be a natural part of sitting in a living room or at a coffee shop with people who love God's word. Open your home. Open your life to circles of fellowship and growth centere

Hezekiah's Tunnel: an Awe-Inspiring Feat of Engineering

Appian Media · Digging Deeper

Step into Hezekiah’s Tunnel, a water channel built around 701 BC to secure Jerusalem’s water supply during the Assyrian siege led by Sennacherib. Ordered by King Hezekiah and referenced in 2 Kings 20:20 and 2 Chronicles 32, this impressive feat of ancient engineering brought water from the Gihon Spring safely into the city. In this episode of Digging Deeper, we walk through the very tunnel dug by Hezekiah’s men and explore how this historical site aligns with both archaeological evidence and biblical accounts. Discover how faith, history, and ingenuity come together beneath the streets of Jeru

S5 E15 - A Fraudulent Package

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Someone kept trying to deliver a package to us that we were supposed to pay for. We had no idea what this package was. After going into the post office, it turns out it was a fraud - a fairly common scam. They post officer workers are trained in what to look for, and therefore we promptly rejected it. There are many fraudulent gospels floating around today too. False doctrine that we must be trained to to identify and reject for our own protection as well as the rest of the church. Be alert and test the spirits to see if they truly are from God. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Episode 231 - "What Were You Talking About?"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Believe Jesus is God's Son We’re back for Session 4 of our Square One series. We tackled the huge question: "Why believe in Jesus?" How does the historical evidence for Jesus' resurrection, like the empty tomb and the disciples' transformed lives, provide a solid foundation for faith? Is blind faith a thing? We dug into 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul details eyewitness accounts, including over 500 people seeing Jesus alive, and shared how skeptics often agree on key historical facts surrounding these events. If Jesus really rose from the dead, what does that mean for you? The Big Idea: We can tr

Psalm 142

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

142:1 I cry aloud with my voice to the LORD- “The synonymous parallelism repeats the phrase ‘with my voice’ to emphasize that he cries aloud” Miller, 435. “In Psalm 142:1 is za’aq, conveys the idea of crying out in acute distress and seeking deliverance. The verbal root occurs only five times in the Psalter, twice in Psalm 142” NICOT, 978. “Although the Hebrew root translated ‘cry’ in vv. 1, 5 does not occur often in the psalms (see Pss. 22:5; 107:13, 19), it is an important theological word. For instance, it recalls the exodus ( see Exod. 2:23); it is a crucial part of the pattern in the book

CONSTRUCTION: The tower-builder. "Airframe." Potholes. Ezra and Nehemiah.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! I can’t believe I haven’t done a “Construction” episode already. The Bible is full of metaphors about builders and building, and lessons for us abound. Today we’ll discuss the biggest construction project of your life and whether you should even start it; the blame that gets shifted, even toward Jesus, when the project goes wrong; the woes of dealing with poorly conceived and poorly executed projects; and the best Bible-themed game I have ever played – maybe the best game, period.

The UnLovables: Me

Love Better

This episode is part of our ongoing series The Unlovables —a candid look at the people who are hard to love and why, and how the Bible teaches us not just to tolerate them… but to truly love better. Today’s episode is unique amongst the UnLovables series because we are going to pursue understanding why you and I are often unlovable, or more accurately, why we have a very hard time being loved by God and others.
