How do you want to finish your life? 

That’s not an easy question to think about. When we’re young, we don’t think about it at all. And the older we get, the more distracted we get. Some folks would love to be distracted all the way to the grave.

But God wants so much more for you than that. SO much more....

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re opening God’s Word to 2 Timothy to uncover the secret to living and finishing well.

There are 2,350 verses in the Bible about money. 

If that sounds like a lot, it’s because it is! Why would God dedicate so much of His Word to our finances? Because money competes with God as the master of our lives more than anything else.

Our world is fully invested in convincing us that we’re lacking; we always need more. Can we ever really be content? In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll find the secret of contentment in the book of 1 Timothy.

It’s a simple and reliable truth you can apply immediately.

Jesus is coming soon. But so what? 

If one thing is constant in this world, it’s that the news is bad. The simple fact is: the news is a business, and when tragedy strikes, business is good.

But do today’s terrible headlines mean the end is near? And if so, so what??

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re looking at the truth about the end-times.

Don’t worry! Above the clamor of our world’s bad news, Scripture proclaims the very BEST news we could imagine.

Most of us can recite the Lord’s Prayer without thinking.

And that’s a problem. 

What if we’ve grown so familiar with it that we’ve missed what Jesus meant to teach us?

In this episode of Live the Bible, I sit down with my longtime friend Brad Gray to talk about the Lord’s Prayer—where it came from, how Jesus intended it to shape our lives, and why it may be the most underutilized prayer among believers today.

We talk Bible context, the Kingdom of God, forgiveness, daily dependence, and how this short prayer is meant to reorient our hearts every single day.

You’ll find this episode encouraging, clarifying, and deeply practical. The Lord’s Prayer will never be the same.

What defines you? 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re getting honest about how we see ourselves. Even though we know we shouldn’t, we tend to judge ourselves (and others) by the externals—our looks and our clothes, our jobs and our money, our cars and our kids, our houses and spouses.

But take all that away. What defines you?

The Scriptures hold the key to understanding who you truly are.

Why does it take some people so long to change? 

Who came to your mind when you read that question? Maybe a parent or a child, a boss or a friend, a spouse or even a pastor. You’ve prayed SO long for this person to change. But no matter what you do, nothing changes.

WHY?

We’ve all been there, asking that question—even the Apostle Paul. In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re traveling with him to Philippi, where we’ll find the surprising answer.

Are you ready for the surprise? (It’s a good one!)

What if you could send spies into your future and report back to you what’s coming. Would you want to hear it?

In this episode of Live the Bible, that’s exactly what happens. We get ready for the New Year with a look at how to fearlessly face the fabulous future God has planned for you. Our future will always have giants. But we can face them—in their many forms—as long as we don’t look at the size of the giants but at the size of our God!

The humble birth of Jesus Christ reveals a truth that, frankly, is shocking. 

In fact, it’s as surprising today as it was in the day Mary gave birth to Jesus in a Bethlehem barn.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we take a special look at Christmas and its surprising truth. What truth? The pursuits of our lives and passions can easily get misplaced. Jesus shows us that the way up is down. The way to true greatness in the eyes of God is to be a servant to Him—and to others—just like Jesus was from the day He was born.
