Martin and Jason finish up their conversation about the golden calf incident, including giving some take-home lessons about evangelism, Christian duty, and why "feeling right with God" isn't a great indicator of your status before the Almighty.

The Golden Calf incident in Exodus 32 is a favorite of Sunday school classes across the nation, and is often taught wrong. In this conversation, Martin and Jason talk about

Continuing their talk about Greek and Hebrew words that everyone should know, Martin and Jason talk about "holiness" and "submission", two words some Christians use a lot but don't really understand.

In the first half of this week's two-part episode, Martin and Jason talk about what the Bible really means when it tells people to "repent", and some simple practices we can implement in our lives to live out repentance better.

Jason and Martin talk about the book of Acts (an awesome book of the Bible recounting key events in the Christian movement's first few decades) and take some time to give you some tips on how to read the New Testament's only "history" book.

Churchy people can be weird. We get it. But some of that "weird" churchy stuff is super helpful, while some of it is super harmful. In this episode, Martin and Jason are talking about some of the helpful and harmful church traditions they've seen growing up in and working in American churches.

Pastor Martin (with a few comments from Jason) explains why some people think Elihu's monologue was a late addition to the book of Job, and why we aren't concerned about it.

This week friends and Pastors Martin Hinten and Jason Frederick are talking about Job's mean friends and "the Satan" in God's divine throne room in Job ch. 1 and 2. What are we supposed to learn from these weird antagonists of Job's tale?

Pastors and friends Jason and Martin talk about the point of Job, why God allows suffering, and briefly have a pointless disagreement about whether or not the Psalms are "wisdom literature". Tune in to hear about God-as-King, why archaeology can't help us prove Job's existence, and more!
