Episodes
-
Memorization
We often hear that we should memorize Scripture, but we're never taught how to begin. This session explains why Scripture memory matters and offers seven practical steps to make God’s Word part of daily life.
-
Meditation
Many Christians want to read the Bible faithfully but struggle to make it a consistent part of life. This session explores why Scripture meditation is foundational for every other spiritual habit and helps us move from quickly consuming biblical information to slowing down long enough for God’s...
-
The Future of M2
Acts 13:1–3 – The church at Antioch worshiped, listened to the Holy Spirit, and willingly sent some of its best people to advance the gospel. Consider how everything we have committed through M2 can position us to send more people for generations to come.
-
The Commitment of Every Member
Exodus 35:4–36:7 – God’s people brought different gifts, resources, and skills until there was more than enough to accomplish the work. Consider what God has entrusted to you and how you can use it to help mobilize the church and maximize the campus.
-
The Strategy of Multiplication
2 Timothy 2:1–2 – Paul reminded Timothy that the gospel advances as faithful believers invest in others who will continue the work. Our goal is not simply to grow what God is doing here but to multiply it through others.
-
The Stewardship of M2
2 Corinthians 8:1–15 – The Macedonian churches gave joyfully and sacrificially because God’s grace had transformed their hearts. Consider how faithful stewardship requires us to surrender what God has entrusted to us for the sake of others.
-
The Calling of Every Member
Philippians 2:1-11 – Jesus humbled Himself by putting the needs of others ahead of His own, calling His followers to do the same. Consider what we must be willing to sacrifice so others can experience the gospel.
-
The Vision of M2
Luke 14:15–24 – God desires a full house, so His servants must go out and make room for those who have yet to come. Discover our strategy for both mobilizing and maximizing.
-
Why Do Christians Suffer?
This question has challenged believers for thousands of years. Entire libraries have been written attempting to answer it. Some conclude that suffering proves God does not exist. Others conclude suffering proves God does not love us. Still others conclude suffering proves we lack enough faith....
-
Family Worship
Family worship is a private intentional time set apart for the family unit to seek God through the reading of scripture, prayer, and singing to God. This session will explore how to practically incorporate this practice into your home.
-
Surviving The Suffering
Surviving the Suffering explores the biblical purpose behind suffering and how God works through our pain for His glory and our growth. Discover the hope, peace, and strength that are found in Christ, even in life's most difficult seasons.
-
A Biblical Vision of Caring for the Body
Many of us are aware that God cares for our souls. Are we convinced that he cares about our bodies as well? What biblical passages and themes would we use to make this argument? This session uses Biblical wisdom on these questions and explores how our bodies help us enjoy and serve God.
-
Tech in the Home
Technology is one of the greatest blessings of our generation, but it can also become one of our greatest distractions if left unchecked. This session explores biblical wisdom for using technology faithfully, guarding our homes wisely, and ensuring our devices never replace God’s Word, God’s...
-
A Biblical Guide to Decision Making
Following God's Will explores what Scripture teaches about discerning God's will. We'll look at the difference between God's sovereign will, His revealed will, and His will of direction, while learning how biblical wisdom guides our everyday decisions. Instead of trying to solve God's will like a...
-
Personal Finance 2
Last session we discussed: God owns it all, we are stewards, seek wise counsel, expect uncertainty, and have a plan and stick to it. How do the world and Christians look at finances differently?
-
Personal Finance 1
Does God think money and finances are important? The Bible has over 2,300 verses covering money, stewardship, and finances. Jesus talked more about money than he did heaven and hell combined. What do some Christian leaders have to say about money?
-
Parenting 101
For parents, there is nothing that can make the hairs on our neck stand up more than a comment about our child’s behavior or environment. We spend so much energy on raising our children that our focus on our marriage and our spouse can suffer. When we look to God’s word, we can see His intent on...
-
Perseverance
Faithful Bible reading is not mastered quickly or painlessly. Perseverance reminds us that growth in understanding comes through consistency, patience, and long obedience rather than shortcuts or sudden insight.
-
Discernment
Truth is rarely rejected because it is obviously false, but because it is subtly distorted. Discernment trains believers to recognize when Scripture is being handled faithfully and when it is being used to support something it never intended to say.
-
Application + Guardrails
Application is where Scripture finally reaches its intended destination. God’s Word was never meant to stop at understanding or agreement, but to move God’s people toward faithful obedience that reshapes everyday life. Scripture is most often misread not because it is unclear, but because it is...
-
Method
Scripture is not difficult because it is unclear, but because we often rush in studying it. A faithful method helps readers move from understanding what God said, to discerning what always remains true, to living it out wisely today.
-
Apocalyptic
Apocalyptic literature often feels confusing or frightening, filled with symbols, beasts, numbers, and cosmic imagery. Yet its purpose is not to terrify God’s people or hide truth from them, but to strengthen faith by revealing that God reigns even when circumstances look chaotic.
-
Epistles
The New Testament Epistles guide believers through real-life faith by addressing real people in real situations. Reading them as letters rather than generic slogans helps Scripture bring clarity, correction, and encouragement without distortion.
-
Gospels
The Gospels present the most important life ever lived through four distinct voices. Learning how and why each Gospel tells the story the way it does helps us read with confidence rather than suspicion and with clarity rather than confusion.
-
Prophecy
Prophecy is often misunderstood as prediction, when it is primarily proclamation. Scripture’s prophets speak God’s Word into real moments, calling people back to covenant faithfulness with both warning and hope.
-
Wisdom
Biblical wisdom teaches us how to live well in God’s world by training us in thorough discernment. When read rightly, wisdom literature does not promise outcomes, but provides reliable guidance for navigating life faithfully.
-
Law
God’s Law often feels unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or unusable to modern readers, not because it is unclear, but because it comes from a different covenantal and cultural world. When read in context, the Law stops sounding arbitrary and continues to reveal God’s character, purposes, and care for…

Narrative
The Bible tells many of its most important truths through story. Learning how biblical narratives function helps us avoid confusing description with endorsement, allowing Scripture’s stories to shape us as God intended.
-
Genres
Scripture communicates truth through multiple literary forms, shaping how meaning is conveyed. Recognizing genre helps readers listen rightly, so clarity replaces confusion.
-
Context
Scripture was written within conversations, stories, and situations that shape its meaning. Context governs interpretation by anchoring verses to a wider setting rather than misinformed understandings.
-
Meaning
Meaning is not created by the reader, discovered through emotion, or established by consensus. Scripture means what the author intended it to mean, and learning to seek that intent is the key to faithful interpretation.
-
Translation
The Bible has traveled across centuries, cultures, and languages, yet God has preserved His Word so it can still be understood today. Learning how translation works helps us read Scripture with confidence rather than confusion, and with depth rather than assumption.
-
Story
Scripture is best understood when interpreted as a unified story rather than a collection of isolated texts. Seeing the big picture helps us comprehend each passage correctly.
-
Authority
Authority is one of the most contested ideas in our moment. This session clarifies that Scripture speaks with authority not because we agree with it, understand it fully, or find it convenient, but because it comes from God Himself.
-
Bible
Many Christians read the Bible devotionally without ever stopping to consider what kind of book it actually is. This session clarifies what the Bible claims to be, how it is organized, and why those details matter for faithful interpretation.
-
Access
Many Christians want to read the Bible faithfully but feel unsure where to begin or whether they can truly understand it. This lesson lays the groundwork for the course by showing that God gave His Word to be known and that learning to read it well is both possible and worthwhile.

How to Deal with Conflict: Part II
“If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.” —Romans 12:18
-
How to Deal with Conflict: Part 1
Verbal argument, private violence, or national conflict – the cause of them all can be traced back to the wrongful lust to want more than we have, to be envious of and covet what others have, whether it be their position or their possessions. (Douglas J. Moo)
-
Mission & Mercy
The goal of understanding God’s design is not to win cultural arguments but to win people for Christ. Our mission is to speak truth with mercy, embody grace with conviction, and point a confused world to the God who still redeems the broken.
-
Chaos & Clarity
A culture in rebellion against God inevitably descends into chaos. The disorder we see, moral confusion, fractured families, and pervasive anxiety, is not random but the result of rejecting divine design.
-
Persecution & Perseverance
Scripture teaches that all who desire to live godly lives in Christ will face persecution. While opposition increases in our culture, many believers around the world endure far greater suffering, and their faith challenges us to stand firm and support them.
-
Technology & Temptation
Technology is a powerful tool that can advance God’s purposes or distract us from them. When used wisely, it serves as a gift; when left unchecked, it becomes a trap that dulls our minds, isolates our hearts, and endangers our children.
-
Politics & Principles
Christians should engage in civic life without losing sight of their higher allegiance to Christ. Our goal is not to be partisan but to be principled, standing on Scripture rather than any political platform.
-
Homosexuality & Holiness
Our culture pressures us to celebrate homosexuality as acceptable, but Scripture reveals it as a distortion of God’s design. The gospel calls us not only to resist sin but to pursue holiness through the transforming power of Christ.
-
Sexuality & Sanctification
Our culture equates sexuality with identity, but Scripture teaches that sexuality is meant to be lived under God’s authority for His glory. Holiness in this area is not about restriction but about freedom in Christ.
-
Transgenderism & Truth
Our culture claims gender is fluid and self-determined, but Scripture reveals that truth is fixed in God’s design. To reject His created order is to deny His wisdom, yet the gospel offers both clarity and compassion to those wrestling with gender confusion.
-
Gender & Glory
We glorify God when we embrace our God-given gender, trusting that nothing is wrong with the way He made us. Male and female are not accidents of biology but gifts of design, created with purpose to reflect His glory.
-
Apathy & Abortion
Abortion is not only a cultural and political debate but a biblical and theological issue. To ignore the vulnerable or remain apathetic toward the unborn is to deny God’s call to protect life made in His image.
-
Prejudice & Partiality
Racism and partiality are unbiblical distortions of the image of God. In Christ, we are called to reflect His impartiality and to celebrate diversity as a witness to the gospel.
-
Image & Identity
Being made in God’s image defines our true identity, not as something we invent but as a gift we receive from Him. Scripture grounds identity in God’s design, offering stability in a culture of confusion and false gospels.
