In the third installment of our atonement series, the guys expand on the cliffhanger at the end of Episode 68: how can God morally substitute himself on our behalf? He can if the price he is repaying is blood. In this episode, the guys explore what it looked like to sacrifice in the Tabernacle and Temple of the ancient Israelites, the major types of sacrifices, how those affected the relationship between the people coming to sacrifice and God, and how Jesus fulfilled all of this in his death on the cross.

Our first episode on the atonement [EP 50] was one of our most-watched episodes of all time, and now that we are wrapping up our series on the Gospel of John, it's fitting that we do another one! In this episode, the guys begin part one of our exploration into the Penal Substitutionary Atonement theory (Jesus died on the cross in my place to fulfill my debt to God for sinning). This is what most people in the midwest grow up being taught, and while it is very true and helpful, we know it too well not to dig in further and explore beyond the VeggieTales version. Join Ryan, Trevor, and John as they explore the legal hurdles and ramifications of Jesus' atoning death on the cross on our behalf.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and we chose the path with the YouVersion Bible app that led us to today's verse. In yet another installment of our verse of the day series, Trevor and Ryan unpack the last verse of Psalm 27. Without any time to prepare and only using their Bible apps and their Bible knowledge, the guys unpack the meaning of this final verse, the psalm it finds itself in, and how the Psalms can impact our daily lives and our walk with God.
