Can I Trust The Bible, part 2 – The Story Behind Scripture

This episode unpacks how we got the Bible: multiple authors over centuries, manuscript copying that spread across regions, what archaeology (like the Isaiah scrolls) contributes, and why translation differences exist without changing the message. You’ll also hear why Christianity centers on an event, not just a book, and how that shaped the earliest movement. Passages referenced include Luke 1:1–4, Isaiah 52–53, and John 3:16, with notes on John 5:4 and John 7:53–8:11. Listen in, think critically, and consider reading the New Testament a few minutes a day this year.

Can I Trust The Bible, part 1 – Why the Bible Still Matters

This conversation invites both skeptics and committed believers to take an honest look at the Bible’s relevance today. We start with a modern hook—“Would you follow Jesus on social?”—then trace why the Bible’s story begins with Jesus, how eyewitness testimony shaped the New Testament, and what Christians mean by words like “inspired,” “inerrant,” and “authoritative.” You’ll hear practical encouragement to trade a secondhand faith for a firsthand encounter with Scripture and a simple plan to begin this week—no overwhelm required.

Better Connected

Today’s conversation explores why faith flourishes in committed relationships, not just in rows on Sunday. Learn how consistent circles help you practice Jesus’ words, notice drift before it’s too late, and build the kind of safety that changes lives. Key texts: Matthew 7:24–27; James 1:22–25.  Highlights * “Circles are better than rows” for growth and care * Why knowledge alone isn’t the goal—obedience is * What makes a great group: show up, join in, be real (ABC) Reflection Questions 1. Where are you “hearing” but not yet “doing”? 2. Who notices when you start to drift? 3. What’s one step you can take this week to build consistent community?

Peace Is Possible

When life’s storms rise, anxiety follows—but Jesus offers a peace that “guards your heart and mind.” This episode shares a practical rhythm anyone can try: be still, look up, and open your hands—a daily way to move from “oh no” to “oh God.”  Reflection questions: 1. Where are you low on peace right now? 2. What could you remove or pause to be still this week? 3. What would it look like to open your hands to God—just for today?

Under The Circumstances, part 4 – God Is With You

Feeling forgotten or stuck at a crossroads? This episode unpacks Joseph’s long road from pit to palace and points to a God who is working even when we can’t see it—so you can take the next faithful step today. You’ll hear why we “don’t confuse God’s silence with His absence,” and four responses that shape a resilient faith: flee temptation, work hard, speak truth (not self-promotion), and forgive. Scriptures include Genesis 39–41; 50:20 and Hebrews 12:1–2.
