In today’s episode, we’re continuing our biblical theology series with a conversation with Abi Byrd about life, death, and resurrection.

What are you looking to for satisfaction? We all experience longings—for comfort, approval, relationships, success, control, and more. But even good things were never meant to bear the weight of satisfying our souls.

Today we’re breaking from our series on Biblical theology for a conversation with Joanna Kimbrell about misplaced longings, what it looks like to cultivate our desires, and the true desire of every soul—Christ himself. This conversation is deeply theological and also incredibly practical, and we hope it stirs your longing for the day when every longing will be ultimately and forever satisfied.

07:49 — Where Are You Looking for Satisfaction?

Biblical Theology, Episode 09

Today, Hunter Beless is joined by Andreas and Marny Köstenberger to explore the biblical theology of sanctification. Together, they discuss what it means to live a life set apart for God, resting in the Spirit's transforming work while pursuing holiness in the context of the local church. As we grow in Christ, our lives become a witness that points others to God and his Word. We pray this conversation encourages you to depend more fully on the Lord as he faithfully accomplishes his work of sanctification in you.

Biblical Theology, Episode 08

Today, Lauren Bowerman is talking with Yannick Christos-Wahab about the theme of priest and priesthood that we see throughout Scripture. Yannick and Lauren trace the theme of priesthood through the Bible, from its early hints in Genesis, through the priests of Israel, and ultimately all the way to Jesus, who fulfills and transform the role as our great high priest (and who then passes the baton to us as a “royal priesthood” of believers!). We hope that seeing Jesus as your high priest in this episode helps you to love him more!
