Bible Study Podcast

Making disciples does not mean getting people to pray a prayer and tick a box on belief. It means immersing them in the character of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the way you live — and then teaching them the patterns of life that flow out of believing the right things. This episode reframes the Great Commission from the ground up and makes the case that you are the only Jesus some people will ever see.
In this episode:
Adrenaline vs. anointing — and how easily we confuse them
Why the early church was seen as a philosophy not a religion — and why that distinction matters
The prize is not a crowd — pizza gets people to show up, but that is not discipleship
Jesus chose the shepherd as the primary metaphor for leadership for a reason
Angela's experience of being thrown on stages before being rooted in a local church
The only Jesus people will ever see is the one you represent — do they fall in love?
What Matthew 28 actually means — soaking people in the character of the Trinity by how you live

Wearing your body down is not a badge of how hard you are working for Jesus. It is a sign that something has gone wrong. This episode makes the case that your body is a spiritual reality — not a machine to manage — and that how you sleep, eat, rest, and move is an act of worship just as much as anything that happens on Sunday morning.

In this episode:
• The Gnostic lie the church has inherited — physical bad, spiritual good — and why it is not biblical
• Why your body carries the weight of unprocessed emotion and trauma
• The three major factors of soul health relative to the body: diet, exercise, and rest
• Darren's story of bleeding internally at 29 — and what it took to realize his body was not the enemy
• Angela's story of panic attacks, disordered eating, and learning what her body was actually saying
• Why Sabbath is not about doing nothing — it is about learning to receive being loved for no good reason
• What it means to steward your body as an offering to the Lord rather than an idol to perfect

Every sin is a distorted desire. Underneath lust is a longing for connection. Underneath anger is a loss of identity. Underneath sloth is an inability to love yourself enough to take care of yourself. This episode walks through the seven deadly sins not as a list of behaviors to avoid but as a diagnostic tool for understanding where the soul has gone sideways — across every dimension of your life
In this episode:
Pride as an inaccurate view of self — and why inferiority is just as much a form of pride as superiority
Anger as a sign of lost identity — and why most angry people are actually the most insecure
Envy and the spark of pleasure when someone else fails
Sloth — not laziness but the neglect of things that matter, while staying busy doing everything else
Why greed, gluttony, and lust are all misdirected longings for connection with God
How the seven deadly sins work themselves out in each of the five dimensions of the soul
You can hide from God in 10 hours of prayer — the spiritual unhealth nobody talks about

Love is not a feeling first. Joy is not happiness. Patience is not passive waiting. And kindness is not just being nice. This episode walks through the fruit of the Spirit as the actual markers of a healthy soul — redefining each one from the ground up with Pastor Bill Dogterom, in a conversation that will quietly wreck you in the best way.

In this episode:
• Love as the environment the soul was made to swim in
• Joy as the energy cell — what enables endurance through the hardest seasons
• Shalom as pervasive wellbeing independent of circumstances
• Kindness as mercy and goodness as grace — the two most powerful forces for transformation in the universe
• Why the fruit of the Spirit are warfare characteristics not Hallmark card virtues
• The hardest part of the Christian life is not suffering — it is receiving good things without running off like a kid with a popsicle

You are a soul, not someone who has one. This episode introduces a biblical framework for soul care with Pastor Bill Dogterom — covering what a soul actually is, why the physical and spiritual were never meant to be separated, and how discovering your primary window to God changes the way you grow for the rest of your life.

In this episode:
• What a soul is — Genesis 2 and the Hebrew word nefesh
• The five dimensions of the soul: physical, spiritual, social, mental, emotional
• Why your body is not separate from your worship
•  Discipleship is making friends for Jesus
• How to discover your primary window to God
