Bible Geeks Podcast

We have big questions on our minds, as death looms over this week’s passages. Questions like: How can we put God in a box, even when we trust him in the big stuff? Does the famously brief verse, “Jesus wept,” display Christ’s humanity or his deity? And Jesus Said he holds the keys to Hades in Revelation 1:17-18, but what does that mean for us? Throughout our seventh “Here’s Your Sign” segment, we consider how the raising of Lazarus should affect our view of death. It’s heavy stuff, but we think you’ll find it worth your while to join us!

The Big Idea: Believing in Christ puts death in its proper perspective: it’s complicated and sometimes heartbreaking, but for believers, it’s also a joyful step on our path to eternal life.

Weekly Challenge: Read John 19-21 about Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Whatta ya know? This week we take on a “Heavy Word” for “knowing,” and ask: How important is the difference between what we know and what we think we know? We get an answer when a “mic-drop” moment from a healed blind man leads to a childish moment from some Jews, in part six of our “Here’s Your Sign” series. And what Jesus Said in John 21:15-17 challenges, heals, and commissions Peter to serve others. Push play and let’s dive into the Word together!

The Big Idea: It’s easy to find ways to confirm our convictions, but we establish Biblical faith by following the evidence and discovering the truth.

Weekly Challenge: Use an opportunity to share what you know about Christ.

“It was a dark and stormy night…” As we begin part five of our “Here’s Your Sign” series, a moment of life-or-death peril at sea meets one of history’s most fantastic miracles. Starting with what Jesus Said about fear in Luke 12:4-7, we try to understand the times we pass through the waters.

Weird episode alert! This week we’re tackling Jesus’ challenging words about eating his body during that Passover meal in Luke 22:19-20. We see similar language after he miraculously feeds 5000 in our “Here’s Your Sign” segment. After sharing a few “Deep Thoughts” about his ability to create abundance out of nothing, we talk about how Jesus is EVERYTHING. Hang on tight … difficult words ahead!

Weekly Challenge: Figure out where you’re lacking and ask God for an abundance.

What do you want? What Jesus Said to Mary in John 20:14-16 kicks off an episode all about what we’re seeking. We dive into the question he asked a paralytic in part two of our miracles series, “Here’s Your Sign.” And then we take on the “Heavy Words” for “seek” and “want,” recognizing their significance in John’s gospel and our lives. We hope you’re as challenged and edified by Jesus’ words as we were in this week’s conversation!

Weekly Challenge: Make a list of what you want and identify how they line up with God’s desires.

When your child’s illness takes a turn for the worst, how do you cope, and could anything pull you from their bedside? This week, we continue our series on Christ’s miracles, “Here’s Your Sign,” watching as one desperate father runs to Jesus and gets more than a miracle in the exchange. Plus, in a Psalm 5 edition of “Poetry in Motion,” we journey through a morning prayer all about going to God in trouble. And what Jesus Said in Matthew 11:28-30 calls us to restful order with him. We stuffed this one with Bible-y goodness!

Weekly Challenge: Ask God to resolve a troubling situation in your life, or for someone you know.

Broken relationships, misunderstandings, hurt feelings. So easy to say “forgive and forget,” but how do we get past a wrong? Throughout this episode we keep coming back to life’s complicated moral debts — like the pain we cause others — so much harder to pay off than mortgages and credit cards! So we’re “Flying Through” Philemon, the short letter that tells the story of two brothers with some big problems to work out. And we find an answer to the question, “How can I love Jesus more?” when we hear what Jesus Said in Luke 7:36-47. Hope you join us!

Weekly Challenge: Examine your relationships to find anywhere you need to extend forgiveness.

Show Notes

The ladies have arrived! This week we discover that our wives are better at podcasting than we are, as they join us to discuss the trap of comparing ourselves to others.

In between, Adrienne and Sharilyn talk about beauty, lawn care, swimsuits, homeschooling, and working outside the home as a mom. You don’t want to miss this one!

Weekly Challenge: Express gratitude to someone this week.
