God has some core values and two of the highest are life and freedom. The issue of abortion is and choice touches both of those values, and so even thought this isn’t a podcast I’ve been wanting to do, but it’s one that needed to be done. I don’t expect this show to settle any debate, but perhaps it will encourage you to rethink some things on this issue that has polarized people into dueling heroes and villains. What value does life have to God? The cross that paid for your salvation before you were even born tells us that God believes humanity is worthy of grace simply on the basis of its existence. God believes you are worthy of grace simply because you exist.   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490  

Do you have a justice button? And has it been stomped on lately? Today’s podcast deals with the justice system of God. Get your Bible and some thick skin, because the grace of God is more radical than we have ever known.   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490

The impeccable Traci Vanderbush joins Bill for this podcast. Take a moment to listen to them ramble about being married for 30 years, playing together as children, and life in Christ. Happy Thanksgiving.

Ambrose Bierce called exhortation, “Putting the conscience of another upon the spit, and roasting it to nutty brown discomfort.” Today’s episode calls for a radical Christ centered Daniel company to arise and live as disciples walking in compassion without compromise. We could also call it, finding the mysterious and rare third path. Am I losing my edge? Hardly.

Jesus didn’t die for systems. He died for people. He didn’t sacrifice himself for a system. He was sacrificed because of a system. When our systems fail to care for the least of these, will we stand against God to defend them?

Your Bible is bound by the blood of the martyrs who gave their lives to give you and me the right to argue about it today. After a history lesson upfront (I’m kind of a nerd that way) Traci and I sit down to chat about everything from human sacrifice to coffee to breaking glass in castles.

What if the original assignment to name the animals meant more than we have imagined? What if that assignment to steward the sound from our heart has more of an effect on the earth than we thought?

Have you ever experienced something so weird that you knew it was supernatural? There is definitely a world beyond the realm of what we can see, and sometimes that world bleeds into this one. When it does, you might not be as ready for it as you think. Bill and Traci take some time to recall some of the weirdest experiences they’ve had in thirty years of ministry. What these moments can teach you about faith in Christ and the authority we have is priceless revelation. But only if you’re ready to see it.

What happens when the Gospel collides with a white supremacist? Do we twist the Gospel to fit the crooked places in our heart? My friend Dan surrendered to let the Gospel completely transform him from the inside out. This powerful story of what grace unleashed can do will challenge, inspire, offend, and invite you into letting the Holy Spirit of God bring the same transformation to every area of your heart.

You’re invited to step into a raw, unscripted, and unfiltered conversation with my wife, Traci Vanderbush, as we banter about nothing and still manage to peel the layers off of the “If My People” verses. We met when we were five and six years old. (She’s the older one.) What does thirty years of talking together about the Bible sound like? Join us for an hour and find out.
