Biblical literacy is declining—not just in broader culture, but even among faithful churchgoers. Has an overly seeker-sensitive approach weakened our discipleship? In this episode, we explore why deep engagement with Scripture matters and how churches can retrain their people to read, understand, and love the Bible.

Plus, a surprising announcement: a “conservative, family-friendly” Super Bowl halftime alternative featuring Kid Rock is headed to Trinity Broadcast Network. We unpack why this is a bigger—and more troubling—deal than it might first appear.

All that, and we reveal the new must-have item at every party.

Our new Bible series this year focuses on passages of Scripture that can be difficult to navigate or know what to do with. This month, we take a closer look at Romans 13, examining how Paul understands the role of government and how Christians are called to approach faithfulness and obedience to the law.

This passage has often been used to silence dissent—but is that truly Paul’s intent, or is there a more faithful and nuanced way to read it?

We often feel pressure to be happy in faith… but what happens when we just aren’t feeling it. Do we subconsciously expect that being a follower of Jesus will make us happy and how do we combat against that. All this and more!

We often get confused by what is spiritual growth or what is just self improvement, so we explore how we can better tell the difference between becoming a better you or becoming more like Jesus.

We started off the new year with a bang with an interview with Father Andrew, a Catholic priest who is trained to do exorcisms. We may not agree on every aspect of demons, possession, and spiritual warfare, but it was fascinating to hear his experience and perspective.

We did have some technical difficulties so it might sound a little different, but thank you to BJ McGeever for working his magic to fix our audio.
