October 30, 2022 The Meaning of Life
Growing up, I heard that the meaning of life was to evangelize. Or live a pure life. Or something.

But is it more than that? Less? Can the meaning of life be reduced to a set of objectives or can it be better understood as an ideal presented throughout the whole canon of Scripture?
Hope this is a blessing.

October 16, 2022 Gambling, Golfing, and God
What should we think about getting mixed up with the Mega Millions or relishing a rousing round of roulette? I think we'd all agree it's generally unwise to play games of chance with our money, but is it strictly sin? Is it something we can authoritatively say Christians are not allowed to do? In this episode, I draw attention to the fact that the battery of objections that we apply to gambling are often ignored when it comes to other ways we use our money. Have a listen!

October 03, 2022 How It All Went Down - Continued! (Part Twelve of Twelve in our Bible Translation Series)
In this episode, I share some of my personal testimony with regards to this issue and trace the history of the KJVO movement from the late 19th century where it was born right up until today. I hope it's a help to you, and I hope this whole miniseries has been a blessing in general.

Here's a link to a helpful interview that touches on much of what I covered in the final two episodes of this miniseries: https://youtu.be/ARbbL2owBzk

October 03, 2022 How It All Went Down (Part Eleven of Twelve in our Bible Translation Series)
***NOTE: I said “centuries” at around 3:10 when speaking of the Roman Catholic Church’s posthumous treatment of Wycliffe’s remains. My notes said “decades,” and I thought I said “decades” but didn’t catch it until after this was published. It’s definitely “four decades,” not “four centuries.” Oof. Anyhow, we're wrapping this miniseries up! In this episode, I recount the rich history of how we got the King James Bible starting with the autographs and working our way right down to the KJV. It's part of a double-header I'm releasing simultaneously. I hope it's a blessing to you!

September 12, 2022 Why You Should Use The King James Translation (Part Ten of Twelve in our Bible Translation Series)
In this episode, I speak of why, despite the benefits of new translations and any imperfections in the KJV, we should not discard the KJV entirely. On the contrary, we would be wise to incorporate it into our spread of translations.

August 21, 2022 The Idolatry Of Certainty (Part Nine of Twelve in our Bible Translation Series)
This is a bit of a transitional episode as we move from a bit more of a sporadic approach to the issue toward the heart of it -- an idolization of certainty. In the closing weeks ahead, we're going to finish this miniseries strong as we strive for a balanced and truthful approach to the King James translation issue.

August 15, 2022 One Such Example (Part Eight of Twelve in our Bible Translation Series)
Special thanks to Tim Berg and his website KJBhistory.com. I stumbled across his work (again) while research today’s topic and couldn’t be more thankful. Oh, and I know I said "...You heard Isaac and I..." in the opening sentence, and I should have said "...You heard Isaac and me..." since the personal pronoun there was the object, not the subject. I would go back and change it, but I just don't have time. :(
Enjoy.

August 07, 2022 Things That Are Different Are Not The Same (That's Kind Of The Point) - Featuring Isaac Thibodeau (Part Seven of Twelve in our Bible Translation Series)
Today Isaac and I wrap up our sessions together by discussing the reasons why some things in the different translations of the Bible are different, and why that's not only "okay," but actually good.
In the podcast episode, I promised a link to some cool stuff. I have no idea what I had in mind at that point in time, so I figure I'll post a link to the Textual Confidence Collective's youtube playlist. It'll do you some good; of this I'm quite certain.

July 31, 2022 How We Got Our Bible - Featuring Isaac Thibodeau (Part Five of Twelve in our Bible Translation Series)
In today's episode, I interview Isaac Thibodeau and learn more about how we got our Bibles -- specifically, our New Testaments. We also touch on canonicity, but mainly stay in the lane of Biblical copying and transmission.
