Episodes
-
Messiah!! Prove it? Nope!
What happens when you know exactly who you are—and then everything around you tries to make you doubt it? As we turn the page from 400 years of silence into the New Testament, we see God faithfully keeping His promises and Jesus firmly rooted in His identity as the Son of God. From the prophecies...
-
Failed Hearts, Future Hope
Wrapping up the entire Old Testament, we definitively see the utter failure of the human heart. No matter how many times God redeemed and restored his people, their hearts turned back to idolatry, rebellion, and unfaithfulness. Malachi wraps up with a future hope for the Messiah, who would heal…
more -
God is Still Working
The exile is finished, but God is not! In the 60 years between Ezra chapter 6 and Ezra chapter 7, God communicates reminders, warnings, and hope through his prophets. (Zachariah has so very many prophecies about the Messiah!) We also see the very sweet story of Esther, involving the Jews who did...
-
Crazy Prophecies, Great Love
Looking at the books of Joel, Daniel, and the first part of Ezra, God’s story continues! Joel summarizes and reiterates what many other prophets have communicated. Daniel‘s life spans the entirety of the exile, and God speaks to him about the present, future, and final future— some of it scary…
more -
Hope at Rock Bottom
After Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed, the exiles were convinced that God had left them, and that they were finished. It’s in this dark place that God provides the most beautiful hope. God’s promises of redemption and restoration are rich and alive in this last part of Ezekiel— not just…
more -
“You’re Being a Ho”— God
The prophecies through Jeremiah are reiterated to the exiles through Ezekiel. God uses harsh language and images to wake His people up! They still don’t turn back to God, so why does He keep pursuing them? Because he is eternally patient, unremittingly faithful, and unfathomably good.
-
Here We Go Again
As we wrap up Jeremiah and grieve through Lamentations, we start the book of Ezekiel. We get to see the destruction of Judah all over again through Ezequiel‘s eyes. He was with the exile in the first wave of deportations, and God warns, implores, and invites His exiled people to turn back to Him.
-
One More Chance
You would think that after rock-bottom, the only place to go would be up. With Judah being completely taken over by the Babylonians and the temple destroyed, surely the small Judaen remnant would look to God and choose obedience. But did they?
-
Rock Bottom
Israel and Judah hit rock bottom. It is in this place of utter despair and exile that God delivers the most beautiful promises of hope.
-
Come Baaaaaack! Don’t Mistake Knowing for Knowing
Even the best, God’s-Law-following, obedient leader can miss the mark. Tune in to discover the trap to avoid!
-
Exile to Eternity
The second half of Isaiah is overflowing with hope, encouragement, and breathtaking promises. God assures His people that He will one day deliver them from the coming Babylonian captivity, even as He lovingly calls them to return to Him with all their hearts. But Isaiah’s vision reaches far…
more -
Destruction, Chaos, Re-creation
As we see one of the best kings of Judah fall into arrogance and selfishness, we zone in on the prophet Isaiah. God though him, is warning his people of the judgment of the Lord. He communicates the undoing of creation because of sin, and His promised restoration, or re-creation— first through…
more -
Wicked Dad, Godly Son
Ahaz quite possibly the worst, most wicked and evil king of Judah. His son, Hezekiah, was the most God, honoring and obedient king since David. How in the world was that possible? Tune in and find out!
-
Mercy Ignored
King Ahaz was one of the most evil kings of Judah. He was such a wicked and idolatrous man, that he even sacrificed his son in the fire. And yet we see God’s supernaturally, patient and loving heart pursuing him, warning him, exhorting him through the prophet Isaiah. God gave him every…
more -
Killing Mercies
The time of the kings was a baffling hot mess. Judah had some good kings, and Israel had none. Throughout the rein of these kings, God shows himself faithful to His promise and merciful to Israel, Judah, and anyone who would believe in Him.
-
Blame Who?
Throughout the kings of Judah and Israel, evil kings caused the people to sin. Are we helpless to live far from God when those in authority over us lead unrighteously?
-
Emo Wisdom
When life doesn’t go as planned, our hearts can break. When good things happen to bad people or bad things happen to good people, our hearts cry out, “Why?!” The book of Proverbs tells us how things should go. The book of Ecclesiastes sits with us in the times things don’t go as they should.
-
Big Stones, Bigger Promises
Solomon finally finishes building the promised temple! There is so much rejoicing and so much we can learn about Jesus! Tune in to hear how two temple truths point to our Savior.
-
God Hates…
The Bible tells us in 1 John that God is love. And yet, nestled in one of the books of wisdom, we see that there are six things that God hates and seven that are detestable. Tune in to hear not only what God hates, but why. Further, learn how what He hates deepens our understanding of what and…
more -
Pray with Honor & Honesty
Prayer is not about a practice to perfect, but a relationship to deepen. God gave us the psalms, so we would know how to praise and pray. He is the God who is high and lifted up, worthy to be praised, and deserving of all honor. He is also the God who invites us to be completely honest with Him.
-
He Redeems Even Sin
Even as a man after God’s own heart, David sinned. Each time, his sin caused tragic, long lasting consequences. God shows Himself mighty by working His gracious, eternal plan though those terrible choices.
-
Oh, No He Didn’t
These next few chapters in our Bible reading plan are some of the most tragic. So many terrible decisions are made, that you might find yourself shouting, “Oh, no he didn’t!” at every turn. But in God’s mercy, He allows for repentance and restoration— and we can take this master class in…
more -
“Dirty Little Israelites “
Tune in to hear a conversation with Jon, Talia, and myself about the early part of David’s kingship— a zealous act, a big mistake, and huge lesson learned. We also discuss the ongoing pattern throughout the scriptures of the Israelites falling into sing, crying out to God, being rescued by God…
more -
Realizing Restoration
David is finally king of Israel! However, even after the people and elders confirmed him, he did not realize he was king until this one thing happened. Tune in to hear what that one thing was, how we can apply it, and how the Psalms remind us of God‘s heart for restoration.
-
Grief, War, and Worship

-
Saul & David: Who They Really Served
Saul and David were both kings of Israel, but their actions reflected their very differing objects of worship. Saul: His actions worshiped his self-image in the eyes of the people. David: His actions word continuously submitted to his God Yahweh.
-
Bad Leaders, Beautiful Redemption
After the tragic, depraved rock bottom at the end of the book of Judges, we start the book of 1st Samuel. There we find more corrupt leaders. But in between these two books, we find a story of hope and redemption. We move on to see Israel’s demand for a king and the heartbreaking disqualification...
-
Downward Spiral
The book of Joshua felt like a happily ever after kind of book. Judges was the complete opposite. Israel kept sinning and was consequently oppressed by foreign nations. They would then cry out to God who would mercifully send a judge to deliver them. This happened over and over as Israel grew...
-
Promise Fulfilled!
After God’s promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, 400 years of slavery in Egypt, deliverance and 40 years in the desert, Israel finally enters the promise land! There is a transition in leadership, many battles, and distribution of the land to each tribe. God is so faithful.
-
Loving, Fierce God
Right before entering the promise land, Moses tells this new generation everything that God has commanded. The laws, festivals, and practices are to help God’s people flourish in the land He’s giving them. Through Moses, God lays out blessings of obedience and curses of disobedience. Knowing they...
-
Don’t Forget!
After all of the Egypt-freed Israelites died in the desert, and the new generation is about to take the promised land! Before they go in, though, Moses begins with a few of several speeches to prepare them. God repeats himself over and over in chapters 1 through 11, because the Israelites, like…
more -
Grumbling, Complaining, Rebellion, Oh My!
Grumbling, complaining, rebellion, oh my! The book of Numbers takes place throughout the desert. It is the time between Egypt and the promised land. God is forging his people and getting Egypt out of their hearts.
-
Love and Holiness: Leviticus
This book of the Law is not just a set of rules. God speaks DIRECTLY to Moses and through Moses to His people from chapter 1-27. These statutes, procedures, offerings, and festivals are not God’s way to make it hard for His people to get to Him. They are His way to make it possible.
-
Undeterred Love & Presence
Finishing up the book of Exodus, we see God‘s detailed instructions to His people, so that He can dwell with them. He filled Bezalel and a Oholiab with His Spirit so that they could accomplish every detail and teach others to do the same. The book ends with God’s glory filling the temple and…
more -
Discouragement and Deliverance
After 400 years of hard labor, God delivers the Israelites from the Egyptians. Through their discouragement, doubt, and grumbling, God continues to provide for them and create a space where He can be with His people and they can worship Him. Don’t miss 30 chapters of Exodus summarized in 20 minutes!
-
God’s Presence in Suffering, Silence, and Success
The story of Joseph is so familiar, but I don’t want us to miss the sweetness and presence of God throughout. We’ll also look at a couple of other characters— Judah and Moses— and see how faithful God is despite their weakness, sin, and doubt.
-
Messy People, Faithful God
In Genesis 11-35 we see three generations of God’s promises, people being stupid, and God being faithful despite that stupidity.

God‘s Mercy Alongside His Justice (Gen.3-11)
