Talmid Bible Study

In this message from Colossians 3:12–17, we explore what it truly means to become new in Christ—not just by removing old habits, but by intentionally putting on the ways of Jesus. Paul calls us to put on the character of Christ, the relationships of Christ, and the worship of Christ. Rather than trying harder, we’re invited to live differently—allowing compassion, forgiveness, unity, and worship to shape our daily lives and witness. Becoming new is not accidental—it’s a daily, intentional practice of living out the identity we’ve already been given in Christ.

A reflection on James 4:13–17 and the call to live with humble dependence on God’s will. Through my own unexpected vocational journey, I explore how faithfulness in unplanned seasons—especially quiet, ordinary ones—can become meaningful places of growth, obedience, and purpose when surrendered to God.

In Part Two of the Becoming New series, we walk through Colossians 3:5–11 which shows us that real transformation requires putting the old self to death. Paul calls believers to purge old appetites, old reactions, and old identities—because you can’t step into a new life while holding on to old patterns.

Every year I choose a “word of the year.” It's usually a single word that serves as a spiritual north star rather than a list of resolutions. After walking through seasons of discipline and discernment, my word for this year is "available."

In this episode, I reflect on the biblical pattern we see in Moses, Isaiah, and others—people who weren’t always ready, confident, or qualified—but who made themselves available to God. Availability, not readiness, is often the posture God uses most.

This is a short devotional on what it means to live with open hands, to stop asking “Am I ready?” and start asking “Am I willing?”—and why God has never been limited by our readiness, but consistently works through our availability.

This sermon launches the Becoming New series by showing that lasting change flows from identity, not effort. Walking through Colossians 3:1–4, we unpack what it means to live as people who have been raised with Christ.

This episode marks a new beginning for this podcast feed. After a season of silence and reflection, Curtis shares why the show is changing and introduces Talmid Bible Study, a podcast devoted to Bible-based devotional and teaching content. Moving away from comedy, this feed will now focus on opening Scripture regularly, slowing down to listen, and letting God’s Word shape how we think, live, and love. Whether through devotionals or sermons the heart of this podcast is simple: to help listeners grow as faithful followers of Jesus.

This episode was recorded a couple days before the Total Solar Eclipse. We talk conspiracy theories about the eclipse, the rapture, and some of the science. We also spend some time referencing an old clip from the podcast which users have picked up on Reddit. Dad is not happy about it.
