If you want to trust the Bible, four tests guarantee its reliability. Historians evaluate the trustworthiness of all ancient manuscripts with specific criteria. If you wonder if you can trust the Bible, these four tests are your answer. The first three look at the manuscripts. They are the bibliographical, internal, and external tests. A fourth test proves the reliability of the authors. The bibliographical test reveals many more manuscripts, with copies written closer to their originals than any other ancient text. The New Testament’s transmission accuracy virtually guarantees we have the original text.
The internal test refutes claims of “errors” and contradictions. The external test proves the New Testament’s reliability through archeology and contemporary non-Christian writings. Lastly, the New Testament authors’ credibility is beyond reproach.
The Bible is the most well-attested ancient document and that changes everything. But what are you going to do with that information?
Stay to the end for a simple next step: read John or Luke for 10 minutes a day and let God speak.
What you’ll learn
- How historians test ancient documents (4 key tests)
- Why the New Testament outperforms other ancient works
- Variants vs. “contradictions” (what the numbers really mean)
- Archaeology & non-Christian sources that corroborate details
- Why eyewitness authorship and early dating matter for trust

Can God Speak to You in Chaos when life feels like trying to hear a whisper in the noise of a crowded stadium? Yes.
In this episode, Pops shows how to hear God’s voice in chaos through Scripture, stillness, prayer, and discernment (Luke 10:41; 1 Kings 19; Psalm 46:10; John 10:27). Learn why a restless mind struggles to hear a peaceful God, how to set your mind on things above (Col 3:2), and simple practices to quiet noise and chaos and hear the gentle whisper of the Lord. We’ll walk through a weekly challenge (Psalm 23), practical steps (meditation, solitude, testing impressions with Scripture), and a hopeful reminder that chaos never has the last words God does.

Christian doubt is a good thing! It isn’t proof your faith is broken; often it’s a sign of an engaged belief. In this episode, you will learn how Christian doubt is a good thing because it gives rise to honest questions that can build a stronger, resilient faith without shame or silence.
You’ll learn practical steps: bring doubts into the light, adjust expectations of who God is, get curious (not self-condemning), and seek community/mentors. We’ll look at biblical examples (Thomas, David, Job; John 20:27; Psalm 22:1; Mark 9:24), see why seasons of doubt are common, and how they can deepen trust in Jesus.

Agape love instead of hate is the way of Jesus in a world that feels increasingly hostile and polarized. In this episode, we explore how to practice agape love. Jesus’ command to love our enemies and those who persecute us.
Agape love is to love someone regardless of how you feel about them. It is acting for another’s good without compromising biblical truth.
You’ll learn four practical steps rooted in Scripture: pray for them (Matt. 5:44–45), find common ground in the image of God (Gen. 1:27), bless those who curse you (Luke 6:28), and set healthy Christian boundaries (Rom. 12:18).
You’ll learn how agape love was exhibited by Jesus on the cross when he died for us while we were still his enemies (Rom. 5:8), and how Christ commands his disciples to show agape love (John 13:34–35).
If you’re wrestling with anger, outrage, or online conflict, this “third way” shows how to respond with Christlike love, neither venting rage nor ignoring sin.
