Live the Bible with Wayne Stiles

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.

What are you planting this summer? 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re looking at the principle that we reap what we sow. Nature proves this is true. Just ask any gardener! What you plant is what you get, every time. But what does this basic gardening principle have to do with connecting the Bible to your life?

Galatians has the answer—and it’s a good one! Listen now and let’s get planting.

If you could go back and undo your greatest mistake, would you?

Of course, you would! I’d give my right arm for a chance like that. But we know too well that time never rewinds; we can’t undo our choices that cost us the most.

We can’t change the past. But we CAN change the past that WILL be—and in this episode of Live the Bible, we’re turning to the book of Genesis to find out how.

When was the last time life hit you like a ton of bricks? 

In today’s episode of Live the Bible, we’re getting honest about just how hard and fast life can hit us. Divorce, job loss, illness, death, disaster—everything can change in a moment.

When it does, it’s easy to wonder if God’s really the good and merciful Lord He says He is. Have you been there? I sure have.

This message has hope for you when you’re hurting.

Think of the most powerful messages you’ve heard. Were they long or short?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re looking at a chapter of Scripture that proves we don’t have to say a lot for our words to be powerful. I’m talking about 1 Corinthians chapter 13. In just thirteen short, inspired verses, Paul gets down to the essence of what it means to love. 

But is the kind of love Paul describes possible in a world of hurt?

Again, the answer is short: YES.

What’s a question only you can answer? 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re opening our God’s Word to a book that’s like a candy store to me: Romans. Paul’s letter to the church in Rome is so chock-full of good stuff—it’s tough to choose what to dig into first! But today, I’ve got four questions from Romans for you, four questions only YOU can answer.

I can hardly wait for you to hear these questions!

Are you ready?

What do you do when God directs you down a path that makes no sense?

Honestly, I’ve lost count of the number of times the Lord has led me in a direction that, well, just seems so terribly inefficient!

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll be in the book of Acts to look at times Peter and Paul must have felt the same way. So often, we know where we’re headed; we feel ready. But instead of taking us on a direct path, the Lord throws in a hard left turn. We all know the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so why does God always seem to take us the long way?

There’s an answer, and it’s a good one!

Have you ever wondered why God chose a book to reveal Himself?

In this new interview, I talk with my longtime friend and publishing expert Joel J. Miller about how books have shaped civilization—and how the Bible itself transformed human thought, language, and culture.

Joel’s insight is remarkable. From Augustine’s moment in the garden to the invention of the printing press, he shows how the simple act of writing words on a page became God’s chosen way to speak to us—and still changes lives today.

You’ll never look at your Bible (or your bookshelf) the same way again.

What’s your biggest challenge in life? In today’s episode of Live the Bible, we’re turning to the book of John to address one of my personal, biggest challenges: waiting.

Little in this life is as hard as waiting—especially waiting on God. If only God would answer our prayers more quickly, if only He would say YES instead of NO when we’re desperate for Him to, if only He would speak up and show up when we want Him to, our lives would be so much easier. Right?

It may feel that way, but the Scriptures show us what’s really true.

What can you do when the life God has promised you looks nothing like the life He has given you?

Let’s ask that another way. How good are you at waiting on God?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at a topic relevant to all of us who walk with God— and that is the struggle of waiting on Him.
