Live the Bible with Wayne Stiles

Sometimes it feels like God has us fenced in. He surrounds us with rules or hard circumstances, and the only way to move forward, it seems, is to hop the fence.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at the lives of Manasseh and Josiah. They remind us that the Bible isn’t a museum piece or decoration for our home coffee tables. 

God gave us His Word and preserved it throughout the centuries so that His truth can help our lives. This episode tells us how.

How could Solomon have been so wise and yet mess up so badly?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we talk about how wisdom isn’t enough. Wisdom requires one more action. Solomon offers a great reminder in our lives to do more than simply read the Bible for knowledge and instruction. 

We should also read it with a mind to apply it in our lives.

What can you do when you are unfairly criticized?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we talk about finding a place of shelter when the critics show up in your life. King David’s example in a time of unfair criticism is a model for us in our days of discouragement. 

If you're in a season of injustice, you can ease the burden of unjust criticism by knowing that God knows the truth and He will make things right in His time.

Ever wonder how to make it through the blah days of the week?

God gives us a great example. 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we head to the Elah Valley in Israel, the scene of David's fight with Goliath. It’s much more than an exciting story. Why? It shows us what to do with the blah days. (And it doesn't include throwing rocks.) 

I love how practical God’s Word is. This message has quick takeaways we can apply right away—today.

What one thing in your past tends to hinder your future?

When life hurts us deeply, it’s easy to settle into a bitter spirit. The book of Ruth gives us a jolt of hope, because Ruth's story is our story.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we see God’s grace working in our daily lives for surprisingly good results.

What are you afraid of most?

Whatever it is, you’re not alone. In the book of Judges, Gideon wanted to believe what God said, but Gideon’s fear kept him from doing so. God graciously helped him past his fear just like He does us.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we tackle one of the most practical issues we struggle with every day—fear. 

Whatever it is you're afraid of, God is with you and He will show Himself to be a God far bigger than you ever imagined.

Ever needed a second chance with God? 

Yep, me too. 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we see God’s people needing a second chance hardly before they had begun as a nation! 

Camped on the edge of the Promised Land, they heard Moses speak encouraging words that would take them across the Jordan River—all the way home.

We need to hear those words as well.

Sometimes the most direct path for God’s will in our lives is the long way.

This episode of Live the Bible deals with something we struggle with almost on a daily basis—struggling with a complaining spirit. We often think we know the shortcut to the Promised Land, just like the Hebrews did.

Turns out, they struggled with what we struggle with—and the solution is the same.

Every time we read the Bible, it reveals how practical it is. But what about the book of Leviticus? This episode of Live the Bible takes us to a book few Christians look at.

The book of Leviticus seems irrelevant and out of touch until we look closer at its timeless truths. Suddenly, it opens up a whole world of practical insights for our daily walks with Jesus Christ.

A closer walk with God comes because He has made a way possible for us to be forgiven, and then when we blow it, for us to regain our fellowship with Him.
