Turn Aside The City Gates Church Turn Aside is a Bible Study Podcast of The City Gates Church in Fairfax, VA. Our desire is for listeners to 'turn aside' from their busy lives and take time to study God's Word. Many of the series on this podcast are produced to accompany our church's Men's & Women's Small Group Bible Studies which have their own books with questions to fill in. You can find those Bible Study resources on Amazon by searching for "Jeff & Madeleine Schlenz". Complete In Christ Charles Wright A weekly Bible study podcast, brought to you by Complete In Christ Ministries, that uses a combination of topical/thematic lessons as well as verse-by-verse expository teaching. This podcast is for the churched and the unchurched. Those with questions or with doubts. Those who may be young in their faith or seasoned saints. But ultimately, it is for those who want a serious treatment and clear presentation of God's word. My sincere belief is that Christ not only provides a means for right relationship with the Father, but that His teachings and, the entirety of the scriptures that find their fulfillment in Him, help us to fit the pieces of our lives together. Like Paul, I do not claim to have attained it all (Philippians 3:12) but I'm pressing forward to take hold of that for which Christ took hold of me and invite any who are interested to come along on this journey with me. Colossians 1:28: "We proclaim Him, admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, so th Talk Bible To Me The Bold Movement Context is our love language.Talk Bible to Me is where two women who actually love the text walk you through the story behind the story. Kayla Wolfe (B.S. in Bible & Theology, Liberty University) and Megan Rawlings (PhD student in Biblical Studies, Amridge University) mix big-sister warmth with scholar-level clarity. Think laughter with footnotes.Each episode zooms in and gives you the who (author & audience), the when/where (historical setting), the how (literary flow & key terms), and the why (gospel connections), so application flows from accurate interpretation. Expect wit without snark, reverence without stuffiness, and the occasional nod to your favorite scholars and theologians. Bring your Bible and your questions; we’ll bring the maps, the timelines, and just enough Hebrew & Greek to be precise without being pretentious. Press play and level up your Bible reading.
