Episodes

  1. Hell and Tradition (10/1/2026)

    Is the Biblical definition of aionios, often translated "eternal", really as vague as we think? Join us as we turn to the next side of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, Tradition, and see if ancient Christian writers were as unanimous on the eternality of Hell as we have been led to believe.

  2. Hell and Scripture (9/23/2026)

    Most Christians believe that Hell as a state of eternal, conscious, infinite torment for unbelievers is a core, unavoidable, and obvious teaching of the New Testament. But is it so obvious when reading the original Greek language of the New Testament? Join us as we start to look at Hell using the...

  3. Physiology, Spirituality, and Facilitating the Divine (9/17/2026)

    If we don't "have" souls, but rather "are" souls, how does that change how we think about the interplay of our spirituality and our physiology? Join us as we learn why spiritual practices make much more sense in this Biblical framework.

  4. You are a Soul (9/3/2026)

    Most of us think of our "soul" as a disembodied essence - the "real" us that survives even death. But is that what the Bible teaches? Join us as we discover that humans don't have souls - we are souls. Bible Project Resources: https://bibleproject.com/podcasts/series/word-study-discussions/

  5. Aliens or Dark Deception? (8/27/2026)

    Join us as we go back over some points from the previous week and move forward to the more spiritual aspects of the UFO/UAP phenomenon. If people are encountering so-called "aliens" and even their technology and are having life-altering spiritual experiences as a result, what does it tell us…

  6. Angels, Demons, and...Aliens? (8/20/2026)

    The UFO/UAP phenomenon has captured our attention globally at new levels in recent years. Fighter pilots and intelligence officers alike have testified under oath before Congress that we are not alone, and that they have reason to believe the United States military is in possession of non-human...

  7. When Judgement Falls (8/13/2026)

    The Prophets spoke a lot about God's judgement coming upon His covenant people and their neighbors on account of perpetrating evil and injustice. But what happens to people in those communities who have been righteous? Join us as we discover that the Biblical pattern is more complex than you…

  8. Word of the Prophets: Micah (8/7/2026)

    How much does God really care about injustice? Join us as we answer that and more by hearing the words of the prophet Micah. Recommended Resources: BibleProject Micah Overview

  9. Word of the Prophets: Amos (7/23/2026)

    What does God think of how entire nations act? What evils really get His attention? Join us as we read Amos, a prophet sent to the northern kingdom of Israel. Recommended Resources: Bible Project Amos Overview

  10. Word of the Prophets: Joel (7/16/2026)

    What is the "Day of the Lord" that you sometimes hear about? Join us as we read through the Book of Joel and see one of the most prominent Biblical treatments of this idea. Recommended resources: BibleProject Day of the Lord Podcast Series BibleProject Day of the Lord Theme Video BibleProject…

  11. Word of the Prophets: Habakkuk (6/25/2026)

    Where is God when we are surrounded by injustice and evil? Join us as we step into the overlooked world of prophetic literature and hear God's answer to Habakkuk, an Israelite prophet. Recommended Resources: BibleProject Habakkuk Overview

  12. Special Topic: Issues With Biblical Chronology (6/18/2026)

    When discussing the Flood, the age of the universe if often part of the discussion. But can the Bible really be used to reconstruct a timeline right down to the year of creation itself? More importantly, is that what the Biblical authors intended their genealogies to be used for? Join us as we...

  13. The Flood and Nephilim Survivors (6/11/2026)

    If descendants of the Nephilim were really in Canaan, as examples like Goliath and Og and the report of the 12 Spies might imply, how could they have survived the Great Flood? Join us as we discuss what the text does and does not demand we imagine about the Flood. As it turns out, global does not...

  14. Were There Really Nephilim in Canaan? (6/24/2026)

    Were there really Nephilim still around after the Flood? Join us as we continue discussing the Nephilim and take a long look at the physical descriptions of Og and Goliath to consider whether they were human or something else entirely.

  15. Mystery of the Nephilim (5/28/2026)

    There are many strange things in the Bible, but few are shrouded in as much mystery as the Nephilim - the giants. Join us as we discuss the relevant Biblical and extra-Biblical texts that help us expand our perception of the kind of world we live in. Sometimes reality is closer to fantasy than we...

  16. Yahweh's Fist (Easter Through Apostolic Eyes, Part 8) (5/14/2026)

    Join us as we discuss the Bible's image of Jesus as a spiritual warrior.

  17. The Suffering Servant (Easter Through Apostolic Eyes, Part 7) (5/7/26)

    Does Psalm 22 imply that God abandoned Jesus? Does Isaiah 53 mean that God punished Jesus? Join us as we approach these passages with fresh eyes and see what their authors really meant.

  18. Yahweh the Redeemer (Easter Through Apostolic Eyes, Part 6) (4/30/26)

    Most Christians have some idea of what it means to be "redeemed", but do we understand what Jesus and the New Testament authors meant when they used it? Join us as we discuss this very important Biblical term.

  19. The Cost of the Cross (Easter Through Apostolic Eyes, Part 5) (4/23/2026)

    Join us as we discuss language of the New Testament that suggests Jesus paid a debt of some kind when He was crucified.

  20. Night of Deliverance (Easter Through Apostolic Eyes, Part 4) (4/9/2026)

    Jesus's death seems deliberately timed to correspond to the ancient festival of Passover. What was the meaning of this festival? Was it a time when God had to be bribed with the blood of a lamb to spare the firstborn of Israel, or was something else going on? Join us as we discuss the Passover.

  21. Logic of Atonement (Easter Through Apostolic Eyes, Part 3) (3/26/2026)

    Lots of us have heard the word "atonement", and English translations of the Bible are filled with the phrase "make atonement". But what does this word actually mean? Join us as we rediscover the Hebrew word kapar.

  22. Logic of Sacrifice (Easter Through Apostolic Eyes, Part 2) (3/19/2026)

    What tis the logic behind Biblical sacrifices? Were they a way of killing an innocent victim in place of a sinner, or is there something else happening? Find out as we explore this question.

  23. The Tabernacle (Easter Through Apostolic Eyes, Part 1) (3/12/2026)

    What is sacrifice? What does Levitical liturgy teach us about sin and how to deal with it? Join us as we use the Day of Atonement to explore the Tabernacle and try to rediscover how Jews of Jesus's day thought about sacrifice so we can see Easter through the Jewish eyes of Jesus's earliest...

  24. Rulers Required (3/5/2026)

    Is everything God's responsibility? Join us as we discuss the Biblical concept of delegated authority - where humans are given real authority to make a heaven or hell of their own realm.

  25. America's God (2/26/2026)

    The name "God" gets thrown around a lot in American public discourse, but does that make America a "Christian nation"? Is there a difference between the God of the Bible and the God of America? Find out in this open discussion.

  26. Good Without God? (2/12/2026)

    If Christians are honest, it's obvious that there are plenty of ways to develop a significant level of morality without "believing in God". If that's true, what's the point of being a Christian? Join us as we discuss how the Bible really discusses human morality and God's actual goal for humans.

  27. The Way the World Ends (2/5/2026)

    When we think of the end of the world, many Christians probably envision the entire universe ceasing to exist and being remade from scratch. But does the Bible imagine a different story? And what did early Christian authors think? Find out in this discussion.

  28. What About Those Who Never Heard? (1/29/2026)

    There is no way to the Father apart from Jesus - but what about those who never hear the Gospel? Join us as we discuss this difficult topic.

  29. Heaven and Hell (1/22/2026)

    Where do humans go after dying? Are Hades and Hell the same thing? Do people go to Heaven, or does Heaven come here? Join us as we discuss the various realms that the Bible describes beyond our own.

  30. The Holy Spirit: The Missing Key (1/15/2026)

    Join us as we discuss the one and only solution to the problem of human sin: the personal, real activity of the Holy Spirit.

  31. Casting Out a God (1/8/2026)

    Join us as we discuss Jesus's dethroning of Satan and how it impacts our reality to this day.

  32. Christmas Special: Angels (12/18/2025)

    Join us as we discuss the good guys that are neither God nor men, but something else entirely.

  33. Facets of the Cross (12/12/2025)

    Join us as we continue discussing the various metaphors the New Testament uses to describe the Cross.

  34. The Cross: The Turning Point (12/4/2025)

    Join us as we read several ancient sermons from the New Testament and notice what the earliest Christians did and did not say about Jesus's death.

  35. Transgression, Iniquity, and Evil (11/20/2025)

    The Bible uses other words besides sin to discuss the enemy within. Join us as we discuss these words, especially how they inform Isaiah 53 and other passages that use the idiom of bearing iniquity.

  36. Sin: The Enemy Within (11/13/2025)

    When Gabriel said Jesus would "save his people from their sins", what did he mean by "sin"? Join us as we discuss what the Old Testament imagined sin was. This definition, and no other, is what Jesus and the New Testament authors also meant when they spoke of sin.

  37. The Serpentine Enchanter (10/30/2025)

    Was the serpent of Eden a possessed snake with legs or was he something far, far more mysterious? Join us as we investigate the linguistic and cultural clues that help us put a face to this enigmatic figure.

  38. Origins of Eve (10/23/2025)

    Was Eve really bioengineered from a rib, or is there more to her story? And is the possibility of Adam and Eve being mortal ruled out by the doctrine of original sin? Join us and find out.

  39. Origins of Adam (10/16/2025)

    Join us as we discuss the origins of Adam, the exalted being born of the dust. There is probably more to this classic tale than most of us realize.

  40. What Kind of Place is Eden? (10/9/2025)

    Join us as we discover that Eden and the Tabernacle (and later the Temple) have a lot in common. If that's true, then what sort of place was Eden? Was it just a nice place to live, or is was it a conduit for God's blessings to reach the realm of mankind?

  41. Rethinking Being (9/18/2025)

    Join us as we rethink what it means for something to "be" in Genesis 1 - in other words, its ontology. As it turns out, in the Ancient Near East, to "be" mostly meant to have a function in the divine order.

  42. Revisiting Genesis 1:1-3 (9/11/25)

    Join us as we discuss some odd features of Genesis 1:1-3 and how it tells a different story when translated with better attention to the Hebrew wording and clause structure. Dr. Michael Heiser on Genesis 1:1-3's clause structure: https://youtu.be/KmFE-qjoksc?si=6kKsCeR8Z1BLaJ3_

  43. Oddities of Genesis 1 (9/4/25)

    Join us as we discuss the many oddities of Genesis 1 and discover that its words may not be as simple as most are taught. Grammatical analysis of Genesis 1:1-3 by Dr. Michael Heiser that was referenced briefly, but that will be revisited: Dr. Heiser on Genesis 1:1-3 Clause Structure

  44. Cartography and Cosmography (8/28/25)

    Join us as we discuss how ancient people made models of their world that had nothing to do with their understanding of its physical form. The question becomes: Are the accounts of Genesis cosmography or forensic cartography?

  45. The Biblical Plot (8/21/25)

    Join us as we dissect the Biblical plot on a grand scale and ask ourselves - what is the climax?
