Have you ever wondered how accurate the nativity scenes are that you see at Christmas time? Is there anything in the Christmas story that people just look over?

In this episode, Trevor and Ryan talk through the different accounts on the story of Jesus' birth, piecing together a central narrative from the different biblical authors who write about it. Who were the three men from the east? What did the room look like where Jesus was born? Was there a dragon??

You're going to need to it understand the foundation of what we're talking about and many of the references we make in this episode.In part 3 of our discussion of Christian Denominations, Trevor and Ryan talk through what disqualifies a religious group from being truly Christian, even if they want to be called so. As stated in part 1, this is only ever because they disagree on the Christian essentials, like the equal divinity of the Father, Son, and Spirit, the life, death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Jesus, and the authority of the scriptures above anything else. While this may be a touchy subject, know that the purpose of this episode is not to identify who to hate, shun, or mock, but rather who is still open for evangelism to the true Christian faith.If you enjoyed this episode, consider liking and subscribing to find more content like this when it comes out!

From Methodists and the Moravian church to Pentecostals and Charismatics, the guys cover history, differences in belief, and how they all want to return to some version of primitive Christianity.If you enjoyed this episode, consider liking and subscribing to find more content like this when it comes out!And you can join the conversation by letting us know your own personal experience in or around some of these denominations in the comments below!

As some of you know, the King's Way Podcast is a product of King's Way Christian Church...but why is this church named that? Isn't it redundant to say "Christian" and "Church" in the same name? Other churches don't have both of those words in their name, and they're still Christians. Does King's Way draw from a history of specific churches or submit to a church government outside of the four walls of their local church?

Christian denominations can be really confusing, so in this episode, Trevor and Ryan start from scratch, explaining what a denomination even is, why there are so many, and what that means about King's Way specifically. There's a lot they left out, so if you'd like a part 2, comment and let us know!

Additionally, you can join the conversation by sharing your experience stumbling in to the world of Christian denominations or how a previous church of yours differed from ours!

Welcome to another episode of the King's Way Podcast Book Club! If you haven't already read the book we're reviewing, don't worry–this could be the talk you need to get you interested in reading it. And if you have read it, welcome to the club!

In this episode, Trevor and Ryan discuss a good, thoughtful, and pretty boring book. From the famous stories of gods in the well-known Greek and later Roman pantheons of gods to the normal function of Roman mystery cults, bible scholar Nijay Gupta lays out the religious landscape that Christianity enters when it pops up on the scene. Trevor and Ryan's conversation covers the parts of Greco-Roman religion that they hadn't focused on before, like how geographic and heritage-based they were (not out to make converts), how transactional they are, and how countercultural Christianity seemed, even compared to Jewish religious practice. If you can stay awake through it and like New Testament background, it was worth the read!

The world is getting more wicked and corrupt by the day. How do we know that? The news, our lived experiences, and the fact that God says so in the Bible...or does He?

In this episode of the King's Way Podcast, Trevor and Ryan have a conversation about the trajectory of the world according to the Bible. We live in a time of real corruption, but is it any worse than biblical times? We live in a time of real lust and sexual deviancy, but is it any worse than biblical times? All these questions and more are in store, so listen along and comment what you found interesting below!

In 1997, Fred Rogers took ten seconds of his time during an Emmy acceptance speech to sit in silence with the audience and think of the people who helped us become who we are today. In a powerful moment of reflection, the entire audience for the daytime Emmy's was drawn to meditate on the power of mentorship.

In this episode, Trevor and Ryan do the same thing, looking back over their mentors (both formal or informal), sharing stories, and giving helpful guidelines for looking for a mentor for yourself. Join the conversation by commenting a mentor of your own and an impactful moment they shared with you!

Welcome back to another episode of our Sunday Study Hall series! Don't worry–even if you missed the sermon on Sunday (like Ryan did this week), the point of this series is to dive deeper into the contents of the select Bible passage. If you love the Bible or are curious about it, you'll fit right in!

In this episode, Trevor and Ryan talk about Romans 4 and the surrounding few verses. The conversation covers Paul's argument that Abraham was saved by his faith alone, covering circumcision of the flesh and heart, the foundational identity of calling someone/something your Father in scripture, and how that is an example of saved by faith for us today.

In this episode, Trevor and Ryan talk through a book that has become one of their new spiritual classics. Written from the perspective of someone who is researching this topic for personal growth, this book reveals how we are all born with different levels of self-control (although everyone's will run out at some point), how we can all improve our self control, and how self-control is a keystone habit that can lead us to form other virtuous habits. From top to bottom, Your Future Self Will Thank You is full of spiritual and scientifically researched wisdom, presented through humility and self-sacrifice.
