Is a woman's only hope of meaning in having children? That sure seems like what Paul is saying in 1 Timothy 2:15. What do we make of this passage?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question around a passage in 1 Timothy that seems to indicate that women are saved through childbearing. We look into the context of this passage as well as the original language to decipher the true meaning of this passage and how it doesn't really connect to salvation at all. We hope this is a helpful explanation of a challenging and confusing verse!

We all know Star Wars and despise the Empire...but which political party in America is closer to being the Empire?!

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question from a guy who loves Star Wars, but has recently been wondering which side of American politics falls on the Empire side and if he is unknowingly one of the bad guys. We look through some of the analogies that are part of the Star Wars universe and dig through Scripture to see what comparisons are appropriate and which aren't. We then look at the stances of specifically the conservative platform to see how it aligns (or doesn't align) with the dreaded Empire. Are you the Empire?! Listen to find out!

Really? Another episode about foreskins? Yep! The strangest brideprice of all time...100 fresh foreskins!

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the most interesting dowry of all time when Saul requires the foreskins of 100 Philistines to give his daughter, Michal, in marriage to David.

Every little girl in America seems to be enamored with unicorns. Dragons have long been viewed as the scariest of creatures and are seen throughout our culture, but did they ever actually exist?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of unicorns and dragons to see where they came from and how various cultures view them. From there, we look at what the Bible has to say and believe it or not, “unicorn” is used 11 times in the Bible! (KJV) Finally, we give our verdict on whether or not we believe that either of these creatures existed. Spurred on by a question from Jackie’s kids, this was a fun episode that should be enjoyable for all ages!

Melchiza-who?! You may not be familiar with Melchizedek, but this High Priest has an interesting story in Scripture that is quite connected to Jesus and our salvation.
