Great Questions Of The Bible

What if the first question God asked humanity is the exact question He is asking you today?

In this episode, we pause the noise to sit with these profound words: Where are you? When God called out to Adam and Eve in the Garden, He wasn't looking for their location—He was inviting them to face what was true.

Join us as we dive into Genesis to unpack the roots of temptation, fear, and the modern "fig leaves" we hide behind. If you are feeling disconnected or overwhelmed, slow down with us for a few minutes. Discover the hope of a God who doesn't wait for you to fix yourself, but actively pursues you right where you are.

When you live with a struggle or suffering, you would think the question of healing is obvious. But when Jesus stands beside the pool of Bethsaida and asks, "Do you want to be made well?" he is offering far more than a quick fix. 

In this episode, Patrick explores how the questions God asks us are never traps, but invitations. Too often, we hear God's voice filtered through our own fear and shame, or we allow ourselves—and others—to be reduced to our struggles and trapped in suffocating boxes of judgment. Join us as we unpack John chapter 5, pull up a chair, take a deep breath, and discover what happens when Jesus looks past our long-standing labels to see who we are truly meant to be.

What happens when we let resentment take root in the dark places of our souls? In this episode of Great Questions of the Bible, host Patrick Hansen dives into one of the most relatable and challenging questions ever asked of Jesus—Peter’s query: "How many times should I forgive my brother or sister?" 

 While Peter thought doubling the traditional rabbinical standard to seven times was magnanimous, Jesus shattered expectations with a radical call to forgive seventy times seven. We unpack the stark contrast between the world's transactional way of forgiving—which demands a "pound of flesh" through silent treatments and cutting remarks—and the liberating, heart-level mercy of the Kingdom. Through the lens of Moses' ancient law, the striking Parable of the Unmerciful Servant, and a moving story of a young man retracing his late father's footsteps, this episode invites you to slow down, breathe, and discover how true forgiveness breaks the tightening grip of bitterness to set your soul free.
