Episodes

  1. The group or the individual? Galatians 6:1-5

    We have been arguing for a long time about what has more importance, the group or the individual. The Bible doesn't give us a simple answer, but it does give us some principles to help navigate this path.

  2. How can we grow authentically? Galatians 5:22-26

    We want to grow, but we also want to be authentic. But why do we need to grow if we just have to be ourselves? In this episode we will look at the fruit of the Spirit, and what this analogy tells us about real, lasting growth.

  3. Things you need to know about sin. Galatians 5:19-21

    This is an epic talk on what sin is, and why it is so destructive. Paul brings up several sins which can be placed into four categories. Why are these sins so dangerous, and what can we do to avoid them? Find out on this episode of Geek with a Bible.

  4. Lead by the Spirit?

    It is clear we are supposed to be lead by the Spirit, but what does that mean?

  5. Free to do what? Galatians 5:13-15

    Christians talk a lot about being freed from sin and death, but what are we freed to do? In what ways are we empowered that the world isn’t?

  6. Should we use mockery?

    Christians are rarely known for their humor, but it is seen in scripture. Strangely enough, the form of humor most often used is mockery, but we are often warned of the dangers of being a mocker. This video looks at the complexity of using this powerful tool known as mockery.

  7. When the Bible really bothers you.

    The Bible gives life to those who read it, but there are also passages that can be very troubling. How should we respond when the Bible really bothers us?

  8. Does it really matter what we believe? Galatians 5:8-10

    We often hear calls towards unity, but where do we draw the line?

  9. Renewing your passion for Christ. Galatians 5:7

    If you are like me, your spiritual life goes up and down. You have some seasons when your heart is deeply connected to God, and other times when He is far from your mind. How can we know if we have gone too far?

  10. The law or love?

    Paul uses very strong language in this passage, but what is his purpose? Is he trying to push us into greater respect for the Law or to push us to something else?

  11. Is freedom really that important?

    Freedom is a core value for many people. For others, it is terrifying. But what does the Bible say? Join me as we scratch the surface of these deep topic.

  12. How to seek the truth even when it goes against your group.

    The Galatians are starting to separate from the truth Paul brought to them because they want to fit in to the group.

  13. Can we mix secular culture and Christianity?

    Paul has made it clear that we are not justified or defined by what culture we are a part of, but what happens when we try to import elements from our culture into the gospel? So, after I rewatched this video, I realized I didn’t do a great job of connecting the content to the opening scriptures....

  14. Should Christians be exclusive?

    The Bible makes a big distinction between those who are saved and those who are still in their sins, but how are we supposed to treat those who are outside of the faith?

  15. Why is there strife between men and women?

    What does the Bible have to say about men, women, and the conflict they often have?

  16. Why it is so hard to talk about race and how the gospel can help.

    Have you ever had a hard time talking with someone about racial issues? I have found several ideas in scripture and society that gives us a solid foundation to discuss these issues without becoming defensive.

  17. What can be done about the biggest division in our culture? Galatians 3:23-29

    There are many issues that have divided our nation, but there is no greater division than classism. It runs so deep, many people don’t even realize how bad it is. In the scriptures, Paul says that we are all equal in Christ, but how do we live this out? Find out as we continue this series through...

  18. Why do we need the law of God if we are saved by grace through faith?

    As we have been going through this Bible study in Galatians, Paul has been going on and on about how we are not saved be the law of God. We are only saved by God's grace through faith. So, why do we need the law?

  19. How I stopped fearing the most terrifying scripture in the Bible. Galatians 3:15-18

    God's relationship with Abraham was based on a promise, while God's relationship with Moses was based on the law. On this episode of Geek with a Bible, we learn what it means that our relationship with Christ is based on the promise. We also look at how this idea stacks against the most…

  20. How the gospel freed me from feelings of inadequacy, plus the Paul vs James showdown.

    Do you ever feel like you are not good enough? I used to struggle with low self-value, but the message of the gospel has freed me from these thoughts.

  21. Have you ever felt the need to belong?

    You may have casually sung that you are a child of Abraham, but you don't get to just be a part of someone's family. That's a big deal, and God proclaims his scandalous grace is enough. He wants you to be a part of his family, and he has made a way. God blesses you to be a blessing.

  22. Does God answer prayers based on your good deeds? Galatians 3:5-6

    Have you ever had a prayer not answered the way you wanted it to be? Have you ever seen someone who was a mess get everything they want? On this episode of Geek with a Bible, we see what Paul says about miracles and faith.

  23. Does the Gospel free us from suffering? Galatians 3:5-6

    Have you ever heard that following Christ will free us from all pain? Have you ever prayed for healing, and it didn't work? In this episode we see what the Bible has to say about these topics.

  24. What made this preacher of love so angry?

    When we think about angry preachers, we usually think about people mad about sin. But in this passage of Galatians, Paul is angry for a very different reason.

  25. Must God love you? Galatians 2:20-21

    Welcome to this seventh instalment of the Galatians Bible study from the Geek with a Bible. On this weeks episode, Aaron reads through Galatians 2:20-21, and looks at questions like: Does God have to love you? What is the trinity? Why is faith good? Are my good works good enough?

  26. What does it mean to "die to yourself"?

    This episode covers Galatians 2:19 and what it means to "die to yourself". In the mail bag, I reveal what my favorite Marvel movie moment is.

  27. How should Christians treat racists? Galatians 2:17-18

    See what happens when Peter shows preferences to his own culture.

  28. Questioning leaders, assimilation, and the gospel. Galatians 2:11-16

    Is it right to question our spiritual leaders, or should we just blindly follow their teachings? Should we expect people to assimilate to our Christian culture, or do we embrace people as they are? And what exactly is the good news of the gospel? Today we will look at Galatians 2:11-16 to answer...

  29. Culture or Christ? Galatians 2: 1-10

    Paul is upset that the Galatians are getting their worth out of their culture instead of the gospel. We ask how this is similar to our own lives.

  30. This is the truth no matter what. Galatians 1:6-24

    Paul thinks the Galatians have lost their minds as they leave the gospel of grace for a gospel of law.

  31. Galatians 1:1-5

    This is the very first episode. We are starting with Paul's letter to the Galatians. This reading covers Paul's authority, the deity of Christ, God's desire for us to have peace, Christ's impact on our culture, and the glory of God as our goal.
