Biblically Wired

Send us Fan MailWe trace how the plagues of Egypt expose Pharaoh’s role, Egypt’s gods, and God’s long game of mercy, order, and revelation. We follow the patterns Moses writes into Exodus and connect the plagues to creation, the Red Sea, and Israel learning to trust the LORD. • Pharaoh as intermediary between people and gods • Ma’at as Egypt’s obsession with harmony and no chaos • Egyptian temples, magic, and insect protection practices • “Let My People Go” as a five-cycle progression • plagues increasing in severity from annoyance to collapse • Nile-to-blood as a targeted wake-up shot and possible natural mechanism • bargaining dynamics behind “tomorrow” for the frogs • plague groupings and repeated literary signals in Exodus • Pharaoh hardening his own heart versus God strengthening it • Aaron, God, Moses as conduits across the plagues • “God Of The Hebrews” as a strategic introduction of identity • “all” as ancient hyperbole and why livestock still appear later • darkness as a creation echo and a blow to Pharaoh’s light claims • Red Sea crossing, east wind obedience, and dry land detail • Israel fearing the LORD and believing God and Moses • preview of Mount Sinai as the next major step Please, if you know a Bible nut and an absolute real Bible digger that might benefit from this, please send them to Biblically Wired.

Send us Fan MailWe track Joseph’s story through themes that prepare us for Mount Sinai, showing how God uses dreams, famine, and even family dysfunction to keep His covenant promises moving. We also wrestle with unity, seeing how God forms a divided people into one and what that means for the body of Christ today. • the road from Genesis themes to Mount Sinai clarity • dreams in the ancient world and why paired dreams signal certainty • Jacob’s favoritism and the coat as nobility • the brothers’ betrayal and the meaning of eating together • using holy acts for evil and what that reveals about hardened hearts • God’s presence with Joseph outside the promised land • famine as a tool that moves people and softens hearts toward God • prison as a political holding place and the cupbearer and baker dreams • Pharaoh’s dreams and Joseph’s plan for seven years plenty and famine • Joseph as a strong type of Christ and why it matters • unity across the twelve and a link to Acts 1 and Pentecost • New Testament roots in Torah and staying grounded as we near Sinai Let’s be that light and let’s get grounded. 

Send us Fan MailWe walk through Genesis 22 with Abraham and Isaac and slow down to see what the text actually says about love, worship, obedience, and God’s provision. We also challenge a work-based mindset by anchoring our confidence in freedom in Christ and the God who provides the sacrifice. • work-based guilt and spiritual pressure contrasted with freedom in Christ from Galatians 5 • Genesis 22 set-up and why God calls this a test • the first biblical use of love as costly father-son sacrifice • the first biblical use of worship as bowing down and yielding our will • why Isaac is likely a young man and what that implies about willing obedience • “God will provide” as the core thread of sacrifice and surrender • the angel of the LORD and the case for a Christ-centered reading • substitutionary sacrifice shown through the ram in the thicket • why a ram matters and how it can point to power, authority, and unknown sins • Mount Moriah, the future temple site, and the larger redemption storyline • John 10 and Jesus laying down His life by authority • preview of Joseph and how typology helps us read Genesis 

Send us Fan MailWe trace Genesis 15 as the backbone of grace, where God walks the blood path alone and anchors salvation in his promise. Cloud and fire link Abraham to Exodus and the cross, turning an ancient rite into a living hope for today.• God as Abram’s shield and what that means now• How ancient covenants work and why blood matters• Why Abram sleeps while God signs alone• Prophecy of four hundred years and divine justice• Smoke and fire as God’s consistent signature• Land boundaries and many nations from Abraham• Israel’s vocation to bless the world• Assurance of salvation without works grounded in Genesis 15Give Biblically Wired a little shout out to somebody you love and let them partner with us as we learn together

Send us Fan MailWe trace Genesis 15 to show how God steadies fear, names Himself Sovereign Lord, and credits faith as righteousness. From stars to circumcision debates, we follow the promise that precedes performance and sets the stage for the cross.• why “I am your shield” reframes fear and reward • how refusing Sodom’s spoils clarifies loyalty • why Adonai Yahweh signals covenant authority • what the stars teach about identity and mission • belief credited as righteousness before any sign • Paul’s case against works as a ticket to grace • assurance in John 10 and Romans 4 • blessings of obedience without boasting in works • preview of the covenant’s direct link to the crossWe really would love a shout out because I just want to spread this around

Send us Fan MailWe trace the arc from Noah and Babel to Abram’s call and show how God’s command and promise form a pattern for trust, identity, and mission. Ur’s sophistication, Abram’s likely monotheism, and the symbolism of crossing water connect Genesis to discipleship and baptism today.• framing God as the main character• harm of taking Scripture out of context• Noah’s stumble and righteous imperfection• nations from Shem, Ham, and Japheth• Babel’s ambition and language scattering• why genealogies compress generations• shock of a speaking God calling Abram• choosing a barren couple to launch a nation• Ur as advanced city and weight of “go”• evidence Abram recognized the Creator• leave country, kin, and father’s house• nomadic fears met by divine promises• blessing for all families, not isolation• numbers, triads, and mercy motifs• Great Commission as echo of Genesis 12• Euphrates crossing and roots of baptism• Abraham as friend of God and model of loyaltyKeep your chin up. God is good. Buckle up for Genesis 15 next time

Send us Fan MailWe trace a clear line from God’s holiness to our hope, challenging the idea that calling God unable to sin limits Him. John’s eyewitness testimony, the meaning of covenants, and the rainbow as a warrior’s bow reveal why divine light steadies a fearful heart.• God is light with no darkness at all• Why “God cannot sin” safeguards trust• Fear-based theology and its harms• 1 John on confession, fellowship, and truth• The Spirit’s nature never goes dark• Covenants versus contracts and their signs• The rainbow as God’s bow faced away• Hebrew “remember” as action, not recall• Communion as the sign of the new covenant• Anticipating the Abrahamic covenant

Send us Fan MailWe are building on our way to Sinai and it is so good. God's character and faithfulness are erupting from the pages of the Word. His majesty leaves me speechless.

Send us Fan MailIt took almost 70 episodes before I am feeling called to tell a personal story. God's Word is priceless and beyond ... - excited to continue our journey in Exodus.

Send us Fan MailCreating humans is magnified in the text in ways I had never realized - join me! This affirms so much about God - its incredible.-

Send us Fan MailLooking at Creation and not looking at what it is not saying but rather fleshing out things it is saying is imperative. God reveals so many things in His creation story it would take many books to cover - lets sit in creation together and take things in.

Send us Fan MailWe can be so set in our pictures of what feel like Sunday School stories - BUT lets sit back and take in the foundation of Genesis 1:1 - what can we glean as curious Christians?

Send us Fan MailExodus 12 is a watershed moment in the life of the Israelites.  See the cross from the eyes of a Jew. It is unreal!

Send us Fan MailI am undone by the Rabbi's teachings regarding the hem of the High Priest. Oh wow - share this one as it exemplifies the good heart of God in spades.

Send us Fan MailHas anyone been able to put a framework around loving God with all their heart, mind, and soul? What could I glean from hours of study as I research for a class I am teaching - this is an odd but impactful little talk regarding possible context on areas of the Word. 

Send us Fan MailThis ruler has been somewhat out of context. What we see here is a picture of any unbeliever and the earnest question one might have about being saved.

Send us Fan MailCan the early cults affect our faith today - according to the Lord and His push on my Spirit --- yes!! We can say - we believe Jesus is fully God and fully man - but how does that play out in our day to day?

Send us Fan MailTrigger warning for survivors of spiritual abuse - but if your ready to see this portion afresh - enjoy!The context of Jesus words in Matthew 18 regarding Church discipline are for the benefit of the wandering sheep. Jesus call is to avoid gossip when helping a wandering sheep. It is inevitable we wander - what is a simple way to help those who are hurting themselves by their actions? 

Send us Fan MailMatthew 18 and Luke 15 both include Jesus' parable of the Lost Sheep. Not surprisingly the context of the Lost Sheep has much to discover. 

Send us Fan MailThe Keys have been a subject of intrigue and discussion for generations. Simple context is usually the divider of controversy. Let's investigate. 

Send us Fan MailThis attempt is to bring overarching details regarding translations with comments on the most major translations purchased and recommended. I end this with my favorite two picks. Hoping this helps. 

Send us Fan MailThis was a blast because this is one of my favorite of Paul's letters. This I am praying will help give students a system when opening up the Word. 

Send us Fan MailThe P's of the Bible help us investigate the Word. Perfect, Purpose, Problem, Promise, Plan, and Patriarchs get us through the Old Testament. This foundational base lends us much to chew on when we investigate the N.T. It is a brave step for many to open the Word and begin the journey of wisdom that blesses each day and helps rewire 

Send us Fan MailAs we finish Ruth we discover the hope and relevance to gentile believers. Jesus goal has always been to reach the world. 

Send us Fan MailChapter 3 of Ruth has had many theories - it is incredible to listen to the views of the Jewish sect on Naomi and Ruth in this beautiful Chapter. 

Send us Fan MailBiblical teaching and wisdom from our Bible Study here in Deephaven MN. Chapter 2 says much about the Character of Ruth (a noble woman) and Boaz who was a man of great reputation. What are the laws of the Kinsman Redeemer? How was Ruth feeling at this point and time? 

Send us Fan MailThis first chapter is a sermon x 20. Do not miss the original context and the amazing comments and "extra" I gleaned by sharing this study with a woman's group. We are all blessed to have community.

Send us Fan MailThe Prodigal Son is only recorded by Luke in chapter 15. The concept and story has transcended the church and influenced plays, poems, art, and songs in mainstream cultures around the globe. Let's get into what it meant to the original audience. It is incredible. 

Send us Fan MailInvestigating this a bit deeper has been jaw-dropping! 

Send us Fan MailThere are 2 stories where Jesus feeds thousands in Matthew - Let's take a look at them both and see what Matthew is emphasizing. 

Send us Fan MailJesus parables continue. It affirms and makes me teary to consistently see Jesus extended hand to every listener from child to elder, poor to rich, slave to freeman, and Jew to Gentile. 

Send us Fan MailMatthew begins telling the Parables with the Parable of the Sower which is the Parable scholars feel sets up our investigation of the rest of the Parables. This is an important one for us to begin with. It is massive in meaning - Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailYokes are not a Joke and Sweet Sabbath truth:)

Send us Fan MailWho do you say that I AM? John the Baptist's message from Prison has many theories. I feel John was doubting and I love how Jesus does not shame him but gives him a direct answer. Also, we go to the start of the Church - when Jesus asks His disciples - Who do you say that I AM. Inspiring

Send us Fan MailMatthew's next 3 miracles are magnifying that Jesus is the Messiah - and Jesus is God. This is the best!

Send us Fan MailMiracles in Matthew Part 1. Matthew devotes a section of his gospel to ten miracles. The first three demonstrate the healing of 3 people the Israelites would not have expected. The Leper, The gentile, and The women. Enjoy.

Send us Fan MailTaking time in Matthew - we start the Mountain of a Sermon - The sermon on the Mount - putting some of it in context is important for understanding. 

Send us Fan MailBe one in the Crowd - and OG in the best way as we discover much about the context of Jesus ministry - It is massive!

Send us Fan MailWe are gospel ready! Yay! Let's dive into the gospel and learn together. In this episode I accidentally say Luke 2 instead of Matthew 2 in relation to the wisemen. 

Send us Fan MailThis is what I was most excited to teach. But everyone needed background first. Jesus would have grown up in this environment. A Pharisee was probably a teacher in His synagogue or an invited guest. Jesus would have studied with the common man in town. Take this 25 minutes to get a good background for the New Testament times!! God Brought Jesus into an amazing environment. 

Send us Fan MailYou will not regret this listen. If you want to investigate the 400 years between testaments this portion is the most pivotal time for the Israelites. Do not miss this foundation to the New testament.

Send us Fan MailThe 400 years between the Old Testament and New Testament is beyond incredible to study. Let's find God in the details we have - starting with the amazing story of Alexander the Great. 

Send us Fan MailWe need to discover what the Word says about the Christmas story and hear what the Eastern body of Christ says. It is incredible and worth the listen. Merry Christmas and Love to you all. 

Send us Fan MailHere we go. We got through the Tabernacle. Today I was discouraged and asked God who will ever bare through this all. The details are so good! But then refreshed my heart in realizing this is God's house. The 1/2 acre of the entire universe He decided to dwell in. How can we miss out!

Send us Fan MailWhen it comes to the Showbread and Table - Yes there is amazing fulfillment from Christ - Whoop. But what did the original table and showbread represent to the Israelites. Lets take this bit to learn about this part of God's furniture.

Send us Fan MailUsing scholars/theologians/and Rabbis. This is so incredible and I couldn't even sleep until I recorded this. Enjoy!!
