Bible Study Podcast

How do we approach Scripture in a way that truly shapes our lives?
In this episode, we explore how to read the Bible as disciples of Jesus — not just for information, but for transformation. Walking through Matthew 4 and Romans 12, we examine how Jesus used Scripture in temptation, how God renews our minds through His Word, and what it means to let the Bible form us against the pressures of culture.
In this episode, we talk about:
• How to approach Scripture as a disciple, not just a reader
• Why culture forms us — and how God’s Word counter-forms us
• Romans 12 and renewing the mind
• How Jesus models Scripture in Matthew 4
• Reading, meditating, memorizing, and praying the Bible
• Letting God’s Word shape character and habits
• Growing in spiritual understanding through Scripture
• Simple tools for studying the Bible well
• How Jesus helped His disciples understand Scripture

Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we unpack why the Mary & Martha story is not a message to stop doing life — it’s an invitation to reorder your attention and learn to follow Jesus in the ordinary. We walk through Luke 10 in full context (the 72, the Good Samaritan, then Mary & Martha), and connect it to Mark 4 and the “worries of this life” that choke the Word.

In this episode, we talk about:
Why Luke 10 is a discipleship chapter (not a single isolated moment)
The difference between doing life for Jesus vs. with Jesus
What “distraction” really means in the Mary & Martha passage
Why attention shapes desire, and desire shapes behavior
Practical discipleship: habits, community, and training over time
How God forms us in everyday moments (work, family, emotions)
Phone addiction + micro-habits that create macro impact

Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we answer two foundational questions for believers and non-believers alike: What is the gospel—and who is Jesus? Using Mark 1 as our starting point, we unpack how Jesus preached the Kingdom of God and why the gospel is an announcement of good news, not good advice. 

In this episode we talk about:
• What Jesus meant by “the time has come” and “the Kingdom of God is at hand”
• Why the gospel is good news (an announcement), not good advice (self-help)
• The difference between a geocentric faith and a Christ-centered worldview• Why Jesus’ main message was the Kingdom of God—not just moral behavior
• What repentance and belief actually mean: changing your mind, changing direction, returning home
• How Jesus demonstrates the Kingdom through healing, deliverance, forgiveness, and restoration
• Why the cross matters: sin, death, and the devil defeated through Jesus
• What the resurrection means: the beginning of new creation
• What it means to pray “Your Kingdom come” and live as Kingdom participants today
• How the Holy Spirit transforms us over time and shapes discipleship in real life
