We're back with another episode of our Sunday Study Hall, and this time, the roles are reversed! Whether you attend our church or not, if you are interested in the Bible, this episode is for you!

In this episode, Trevor and Ryan talk through the first half of chapter 26 of Matthew's Gospel account of Jesus, covering main themes like Judas and his Old Testament counterpart, The Last Supper, and how this text has the same things to say to us 2000 years ago and today. Join the conversation by commenting what you found interesting or thought we missed below!

Whether you're just a person interested in scripture or are an attendee at our local church where we're preaching these texts, let's dive deep into the Bible together!

In this episode, Trevor and Ryan look back over the past two weeks of sermons and help explain how Jesus' scary, apocalyptic portrayal of the end of time applies to a handful of parables about what's really important to God and important in life.

Welcome to our second 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!

Trevor and Ryan struggled with–but deeply enjoyed–February's selection, Simply Christian, by N.T. Wright. This dense book starts from the hunger every human has to make sense of the suffering in the world and how different world religions and philosophies try to answer that, covers the entire story of Israel as well as God's people in the New Covenant, and walks through prayer, the Bible, the church, and many other important faith topics, all pointing to the end when God will "set everything to rights."

The Gospel Precisely by Matthew W. Bates

We're back with another episode of Sunday Study Hall, where we dive deeper into what we preached at a recent one of our weekly worship gatherings.

With the text we're preaching out of the gospel of Matthew, Trevor and Ryan felt that it was especially important to come back to this segment to unpack some of what we couldn't cover in Matthew 24, including the tie to Daniel 2 and 7 that the author alludes to, what it means to be ready for Jesus' return, and our over-reliance on religious institutions and leaders to mediate our relationship with Jesus for us.

** This is part 2 of a 2 part interview. **

Continuing from last week's episode, Trevor and Ryan continue the conversation with a return guest–Shane J. Wood, first appearing on episode #59. Shane is releasing a new book (Thinning The Veil: Encountering Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation, linked below) that helps address a question we brought up in this past Sunday's sermon: how is an average American Christian supposed to read prophetic and apocalyptic literature the way the author intended it to be read? Guided by Shane's upcoming book and the Book of Revelation, the guys unpack God's incredibly costly, loving pursuit of us, how the average Christian can faithfully read the prophetic and apocalyptic literature in the Bible, and how Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show was a great example of layered art that mimics biblical apocalyptic and prophetic literature.

Remember, this is part two! You may be lost in this episode's conversation if you missed the first part, so go back and watch that before starting this episode!

** This is part 1 of a 2 part interview. **

This interview is guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, and say "huh!" a little too loud in a quiet public place. In this episode, Trevor and Ryan are joined by a return guest–Shane J. Wood, last appearing on episode #59. Shane is releasing a new book (Thinning The Veil: Encountering Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation, linked below) that helps address a question we brought up in this past Sunday's sermon: how is an average American Christian supposed to read prophetic and apocalyptic literature the way the author intended it to be read? Guided by Shane's upcoming book and the Book of Revelation, the guys unpack topics of cultural and historical background, human emotion, and how symbolism and art best communicate topics that stretch language to its breaking point.

Remember, this is only part one! Even though the themes of genre will be tackled more directly in the second part of this interview (in episode #205), notice how it is implicitly addressed here. Enjoy the episode, and stay tuned next week for the next part!

Welcome to our first 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!

Starting strong out of the gate, Trevor and Ryan were blown away by this month's book, The Gift of Being Yourself, by David G. Benner. The author's wisdom for understanding your true self in order to have an authentic relationship with the one true God is unmatched, and it was well worth the short read. Go check it out for yourself, and if you have, let us know in the comments what you thought about the book!

One of the most recent viral things on social media involving Christianity was when Wesley Huff–a Christian Apologist from Canada–was invited to be a guest on the largest podcast in the world, the Joe Rogan Experience. Trevor and Ryan's conversation catches you up to what's been happening so far around it as well as their own takes on Wes and Joe's conversation and how refreshing it is for smart, thoughtful Christians to get platformed in places like these. Join the conversation by commenting your thoughts on the topic below!

For some, college is a time to lose their faith, shed the culture they grew up with, and wander out into the world without the limitations they had before, but for the ministry of Christian Campus House, it is a ripe opportunity for young adults to make their faith their own and grow in ways they never thought possible. In this episode, Ryan is joined by King's Way's Family Pastor, Jon Flowers, as well as one of the Lead Campus Ministers at Christian Campus House, Tyler Richter. This conversation covers how important this formative age range is in people's lives, how desperate this generation is for authentic community, and what CCH exists to do: to help students connect with Christian community, grow deeper with Jesus, and serve locally and around the world.

It's now 2025, and we're back with our hottest episode yet! In this episode, Trevor and Ryan ring in the new year by asking each other carefully curated questions pertinent to the other's life while eating some of the spiciest peanuts on the planet. It made them laugh, it made them cry, and it made them curse the day they were born. Enjoy!
