Jesus and the Pigs
Most people remember Mark 5 as the story where Jesus cast demons into a herd of pigs that ran into the sea—but is that actually what the text says? In this episode of Solid Food, we slow down and sit inside one of the most dramatic encounters in the Gospel of Mark. We’ll examine why the demons...

Moses, the Rock, and God: Why Moses Missed the Promised Land
Ask almost any Bible student why Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land, and the answer comes quickly: he struck the rock instead of speaking to it. That answer istrue—but is it the answer God actually gave? In this Season Four premiere of SolidFood, we slow down in Numbers 20 and…

One Thing You Lack
Most people think the story of the Rich Young Ruler is about money. But is it? In this episode of Solid Food, we revisit one of Jesus' most familiar encounters and discover that the true issue was never wealth—it was discipleship. By slowing down, observing the text carefully, and allowing...

The Man Who Touched God
Why would God strike a man dead for trying to keep the Ark of the Covenant from falling? For many, Uzzah's death is one of the most troubling moments in Scripture. At first glance, it appears harsh—even unjust. But was Uzzah really punished for doing a good deed, or is there much more happening...

Solid Cookies Podcast
I just received one of the most touching Father's Day gifts in memory. Ya'll, I was moved to tears by the things my (grand) babies had to say and by the wonderful thoughtfulness and creativity of Brittani Clarkson. I hope you smile as much as I did. Happy Father's Day to all dads and granddads!

The Writing on the Ground
Did Jesus write names in the dirt? Sins? A passage of Scripture? For centuries, Christians have asked the same question: What did Jesus write on the ground? In this episode, we slow down and carefully examine one of the most mysterious moments in the Gospels, not by claiming to know what Jesus...

The Sin That Does Not Separate II: When Sin Becomes Separation
You asked a difficult question in Part I: Are there sins believers commit that do not sever our relationship with God? But John’s words in 1 John 5 raise another question—and perhaps an even more sobering one: What is the sin that does lead to death? In this episode, we explore what John means by...
-
Sin That Doesn't Separate
In this episode of Solid Food, we explore a truth that challenges a common assumption: not all sin leads to separation from God. Drawing from First Epistle of John 5:16–17, we examine what Scripture means by “sin not leading to death” and how it functions within the life of a believer. By looking...
-
Born of Water and Spirt
In one of the most well-known yet often misunderstood passages in Scripture, Jesus tells Nicodemus that no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are “born again.” But what does that actually mean? In this episode, we take a deep dive into John 3:1–11, exploring the meaning of being “born...
-
Strange Fire
In this episode of Solid Food, Dr. Lee Lewis examines the sobering account of Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10 and the offering of “strange fire.” What made their worship unacceptable—and why was God’s response so severe? By exploring the broader context of Leviticus and the holiness of God, this...
-
The Serpent, The Devil, and Satan
In this episode of Solid Food, Dr. Lee Lewis explores one of Scripture’s most fascinating and misunderstood figures — the serpent of Genesis 3. Is the serpent merely a snake, or something far more complex? By tracing the biblicalstoryline from Eden to Ezekiel, Isaiah, and ultimately Revelation,...
-
Upon This Rock (The Travel Hermeneutic II)
Why did Jesus ask “Who do you say that I am?” At a pagan worship center. At the foot of Mount Hermon. At a place associated with the underworld. In this special episode of Solid Food, Dr. Lee Lewis is joined by his covenant brother, Dr. Thomas Jackson, to explore Matthew 16:13–20 through the lens...
-
Let's Talk About Baptism
Baptism is one of the most debated and misunderstood practices in Christianity, and yet Scripture speaks about it with remarkable clarity. In this episode of Solid Food, Dr. Lee Lewis explores what baptism is, what it accomplishes, and why it matters—drawing primarily from Romans 6 and the…

Heaven & Humility
What would happen if God showed you heaven — and then allowed you to suffer? In this episode of Solid Food, we dive deep into Paul’s mysterious ascent into Paradise and the thorn that followed. We explore why Paul’s heavenly encounter was not a reward, but a preparation — and how God used…

God's Promise Fulfilled: From Abraham to Cornelius
In this episode, we trace God’s promise to Abraham—“In you all the families of the earth will be blessed”—and watch it come to life in Acts 10. Through a trance, a vision, and an unexpected Gentile seeker, God shows Peter that the barriersseparating Jew and Gentile are coming down. The sheet, the...
-
Christians and Christmas
"Let's get right down to it. Should Christians celebrate Christmas? Everyone knows that it's all rooted in paganism, and besides that, we all know that Jesus wasn't born on the 25th of December. Shouldn't we just avoid the whole thing altogether?" Sure, those are things that people say, but are...

The Travel Hermeneutic (The Hard Heart)
Have you ever wondered what it meant for God to harden Pharaoh's heart? Does it raise questions in your mind about whether we actually have free will or not? It wasn't until I went to Egypt that I developed a fuller understanding of not only the concept, but implications for Bible study in…

About the Rapture Pt. 2
In "About the Rapture Pt. 1" we studied the timing of the rapture in response to a recent well-known failed prediction. In Pt. 2, we will seek to answer the question, "What is the rapture and what is its purpose?" To be forewarned is to be forearmed, and to be informed is to be prepared. Let's…

About the Rapture Pt. 1
Do you know what has been in the news a lot lately?The rapture. It’s because a preacher recently claimed to have been told by God that the rapture would happen on September 23-24, 2025. When that did not happen, it was revised to October 7-9, 2025. What did you think of that? This is not the…

The Unforgivable Sin
Perhaps you've heard about a sin (or sins) that are said to be unpardonable. They range from suicide to adultery to homosexuality and more. But did you know the Bible only specifically and expressly identifies one sin as such? Let's study together in order to know what it is and avoid eternal...
-
Can You See Clearly?
One of the best tools for Bible study is your own mind. What is meant by that is that we have an innate desire to seek information and are naturally curious. We are at our best when we apply those natural tendencies to our time with Scripture. For example, in Mark 8:22-24, Jesus heals a blind…

Is There Another?
We all know John the Baptist as the forerunner of Christ. He was well known for his spartan appearance, his fervor for his mission, and his fearless righteousness. He famously baptized Jesus, but would later ask if he was actually the Messiah. What would cause him to ask such a question? Further,...

The Thieves on the Crosses
Family, today’s inspiration comes from something that I hear referenced often during conversations about the Bible or in Bible studies that involve things like the sinner’s prayer, whereChristians go when they die, and the necessity of baptism (or lack thereof). Of course, there are widely…

The Upside of Death
What did the apostle Paul mean when he expressed the preference to be absent from the body and present with the Lord? As it turns out, there is quite a bit involved with the multiple concepts he is conveying. Let's study it together. Works Cited Craig A. Smith, “Complaining,” in Lexham…

Do You Believe in Ghosts?
Not long ago, I asked a great friend if he believed in ghosts. At the time, I did not. His response was, "Well, there's one in the Bible." Naturally, that is all that was needed to launch into a study. What was found was a need to also examine the consequences of disobedience to God. It is...

What's Wrong with (Some) People?
It seems that the world is full of turmoil. The news constantly broadcasts wrongs done to some by others. Social media seems to traffic in little else. Even face-to-face interactions can erupt into conflicts and violence. Why is there such inhumanity between humans? Let's study a biblical…

The Path to Faith
There are many paths to faith. It is virtually an inexhaustible topic. In this episode, we will accompany a young lady who has lost all resources, all ability, and all hope until she finds faith. Let us do as she did and reach out. [1]Eric Lewellen, “Miracles,” in Lexham Theological Wordbook, ed....

Forgive
We all have a pretty good idea of the general meaning of "forgive," but what does the Bible have to say about it? What is its biblical definition? What are its implications? What responsibility do we have to extend forgiveness? Is God's forgiveness of us conditional? Let's study! Sources J. David...

How the Word Works
Let us consider the word of God. It is described in Hebrews 4:12 as "quick, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword." What does that mean and what does it mean for our lives? Let's study.
-
Temptation vs. Trial
If you read the King James version of the Bible, you will notice that in James 1, the word "temptation" is used liberally, but does each use have the same meaning? If there are differences, what are they and why are they there? Let's study together!
-
Eating Flesh and Drinking Blood
John 6:48-58 contains some of the most surprising, shocking, and, to some, offensive words Jesus ever spoke. As a result, many of those who were following him at the time left him. Early Christians were considered by some to be cannibals because of them. The Eucharist (Lord's Supper) is believed…

The Spiritual Battle - Eph 6:10-13
From the perspective of our 21st-century worldview, Satan and demonic forces are more concepts than reality, but it was not so in Jesus' time. Should it be in ours? Paul has a stark warning for believers regardless of era.
-
The Importance of Context
It has been said that "A text without context is a pretext for a proof text." Let's discuss why context matters and how it leads to more accurate scriptural interpretation.

The Deity of Christ S1E4
There are many qualities of God assigned to Jesus found in Scripture. Does this mean that Jesus is God? Let's discuss.

Unpacking Romans 14:1-9-The Inaugural Episode
Paul wrote to the church in Rome that they should accept those who are "weaker in faith" without judging them for the differences of disputable opinions. What does that mean and why did he find it necessary to write about it? Let us use Bible tools and exegetical methods to arrive at an...
