Another Look at the Stilling of the Storm

Matt Harmon and Ben Gladd examine Mark 4:35–41 and show how the stilling of the storm reveals Jesus as the faithful prophet, the greater David, the true Joshua, and Yahweh in the flesh. Through Old Testament allusions and biblical-theological connections, they explain why this familiar story is central to understanding Jesus’s identity and the arrival of God’s kingdom.

Lessons from a Seasoned Scholar with Thomas Schreiner

Tom Schreiner joins Matt Harmon and Ben Gladd to discuss why biblical theology matters, how to read the whole Bible as one story, and how typology, covenant, and careful attention to the text help Christians interpret Scripture faithfully. They also reflect on the future of biblical theology, the value of humility in difficult passages, and the rich Old Testament background behind Mary’s song in Luke 1.

Interpreting Revelation (with Jen Wilkin)

Jen Wilkin joins Matt Harmon and Ben Gladd to explain why Christians should read Revelation as a symbolic, Old-Testament-saturated book that trains believers for endurance—not escapism—and why repeated, whole-book reading is essential for understanding it.

Reading the Bible Like Jesus Did

Matt Harmon and Ben Gladd explain why Luke highlights Jesus’ Christ-centered reading of the Old Testament and argue Christians should learn to read Scripture the way Jesus taught his disciples—responsibly, contextually, and with the Spirit’s help.
