The Bible is the best-selling book in history. 

Sounds like a good thing—and it is—but God’s goal isn’t for us to just have a stack of Bibles on the shelf. He wants us to, well, LIVE the Bible!

In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we’re turning to the book of James to find out exactly what that means and how to do it. (And why we must.)

It’s a simple process anyone can follow—and you can start today.

How can we be sure our salvation is secure? 

And if our salvation IS secure no matter what we do, does it matter what we do? 

When we read the book of Hebrews, sometimes it seems the verses say both yes and no!

In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we’re tackling those confusing passages in Hebrews head on. With a little context, we’ll see that Hebrews holds the answers, not the problems.

Who in your life has hurt you so badly that a part of you died? 

I’m talking about that person who spoke too much or showed up too little, neglected too much or lashed out too often—someone who took advantage of you, or betrayed you, or abused you.

How do you forgive that person?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look in the book of Philemon to learn how to truly let go and move on when forgiveness seems impossible. I urge you to listen now.

 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.
