The book of Romans

Kenny Embry · Balancing the Christian Life

Send us Fan Mail For this episode, I'm reading the book of Romans. If you're listening in real time, this corresponds to Kris Emerson's chapter a day group. The book itself is complex, but you see several themes woven together, and the idea of unity permeates the entire book. Again, I am reading from the World English Bible translation. Support the show

Episode 164 - "Someone Always Has Your Six"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Feel the Freedom of Truthfulness What are your roadblocks to truthfulness, sincerity, and integrity? How do we hold onto both love and truth when talking to each other about important issues? And what does honesty have to do with Chris Paul, gas lines, and life guards? This week’s Scripture du Jour is Ephesians 4, a power-packed passage full of guidance in how to “speak the truth in love.” Taking a cue from Paul there, Bryan compares us to kids in a riptide, as we recognize both the dangers of deception and the security we find growing in Christ. We also spend time unpacking what Jesus Said in

S3 E1 - Okay...WHERE ARE MY KEYS?!?

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to our very first episode of Season 3! I'm so glad you've returned, and hope that this new year finds you well! In today's episode, I lose my keys - well, my car key to be specific. I spent three hours looking for it, and just above gave up hope. That was until my daughter found it...in one of their toy bins under their bed. Hmm, I wonder how it got there. I wasn't upset, I was just relieved and overjoyed to have it back. Well...that is exactly how the Lord feels when those who are lost return home to where they belong. Don't believe me? Tune in to consider 3 parables

ARE Bible Study - Ecclesiastes 5: I Can’t Get No Satisfaction

The Daily Answer

Some may think that verses 1-7 do not seem to fit in a book about vanity. Yet since God is the object of worship and therefore has ultimate worth, the ultimate vanity would be to worship Him unacceptably. (Matthew 15:1-9)

In this episode, we wrap up a month of conversation centered around Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life. How healthy are our friendships? Should we be serving them at the expense of our own welfare?

Psalm 73

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This opens book 3 of the Psalms. The writer acknowledges that he almost lost his faith at the prosperity of the wicked. 73:1-14 The writer struggles to believe that God is good 73:2 But as for me- This phrase is actually a word in Hebrew that begins vs. 2, 22, 23, 28. 73:3 The Bible warns against being envious of the wicked- Ps. 37:1-2; Prov. 23:19 73:4-5 Their life seems care free and trouble free 73:8-9, 11 But they are defiant of God 73:6, 8 They mistreat others 73:13-14 What does it pay to serve God? 73:15-20 The Light breaks through as he turns to worship God 73:17 This is the turning poi

Ep 105 - Feelings are Great Liars

The Daily Answer

One might say that the fundamental demand of the Christian life is to trust God more than your own feelings at any given moment. Truth is a solid foundation, but living by your feelings will mean being always adrift and never arriving. This is The Daily Answer with Mark Dunagan.

Grace -> Faith -> Life

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Up top, let me give you a link to Jacob Hudgin's book " The School of Christ " This is it. This is the most important thing I have to share with you - maybe all year. Many of us have to reprogram our brains when it comes to the comparison of God's Grace with anything of myself: faith or works. His goodness is the beginning of all things and sustains all things. There is no scenario where my power, or your ability, is strong enough to hold us up. And God's grace is not the result of a great works effort. Too many believe t

Episode 163 - "400 Hangry Men"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Fill Your Heart With God's Love This week we encourage everyone to “be nice!” Actually, we aim to show how the Biblical virtue of “kindness” is much more than politeness and niceties. Our discussion quickly moves from our favorite unkind fictional characters to several Biblical figures who showed kindness — David with Mephibosheth and Abigail with David. We go Finding Jesus in that example of David with Jonathan’s son. And then — in a fun but challenging Here’s the Story segment — we go back to that moment in David’s life when his men needed food and one woman’s care and wisdom made all the di

ARE Bible Study - Ecclesiastes 4: The Sluggard and The Miser

The Daily Answer

Apart from God, there is no answer to injustice or oppression. Apart from Him, we go to extremes when it comes to simple things like work--even our motives are corrupted. Oh, and human popularity and fame, sorry, they are fleeting as well.
