In this powerful conversation on The Bible Bros, Chris Tomlin shares the shocking prophetic encounter that came before his career exploded. As a teen, a stranger spoke a bold word over his life, declaring he would write songs the world would one day sing.

This episode dives into:

• The prophetic moment that marked Chris Tomlin’s life

• How God uses unlikely beginnings for global impact

• The power of obedience, calling, and surrender

• The story behind The First Hymn and the earliest worship song in church history

What is the dark truth behind the porn industry?

In this powerful episode of Bible Bros, we sit down with Joshua Broome, a former porn star who appeared in over 1,000 adult films and once lived at the top of the industry.

From the outside, it looked like success fame, money, and recognition.

But behind the scenes, Joshua says the industry is filled with darkness, deception, and brokenness.

After years inside that world, Joshua reached a breaking point that nearly cost him his life. What happened next led him on a journey that completely transformed his future.

Today, Joshua is a pastor, speaker, husband, and father of four, helping people understand the dangers of pornography and the power of redemption.

In this conversation, he shares:

•⁠  ⁠The evil he witnessed inside the porn industry
•⁠  ⁠The moment his life hit rock bottom
•⁠  ⁠Why pornography is so destructive to individuals and families
•⁠  ⁠How faith completely changed his life
•⁠  ⁠What men today need to understand about sexual integrity

Joshua also shares about the Ignite Men's Conference, where thousands of men gather to grow in faith, leadership, and purpose.

Why does Matthew 1 begin with a genealogy? In this episode of The Bible Bros, Billy Hallowell and Dalton Harper break down Matthew chapter 1, exploring Jesus’ genealogy, the role of Joseph and Mary, the meaning of fulfilled prophecy, and why God works through broken, imperfect people to accomplish His plan.

This Bible study dives into the deeper meaning behind the names in Jesus’ family line, including Rahab, David, Uriah, and Joseph, while unpacking how Matthew 1 reveals God’s faithfulness, God’s timing, and the incredible trust shown by Mary and Joseph before the birth of Jesus Christ.

Billy and Dalton also talk candidly about trusting God, spiritual growth, discipleship, Christian friendship, and what it means to live with faith in a world full of doubt, distraction, and disappointment.

If you’re looking for a Matthew 1 Bible study, a Christian podcast for men, a Bible study podcast, or a deeper look at the genealogy of Jesus, this episode is for you.

CrossFit culture and Christian faith seem to overlap everywhere — but why? In this episode, Billy Hallowell and Dalton Harper sit down with "The Bachelorette" alum Luke Parker to talk discipline, suffering, identity, and what it looks like to live for Jesus in a world that’s constantly watching.

Luke opens up about his journey from “fire insurance faith” to real discipleship, the moment God confronted his performance-based identity, and how Galatians 2:20 reshaped everything. The conversation moves from CrossFit’s surprising roots and the faith-driven influence of the Mayhem community (yes, Rich Froning gets his due) to Luke’s current work with Get Strong Ministries.

Then Luke peels back the curtain on what it taught him to be put on a massive platform, how “fear of man” can hijack your words and actions, and the perspective that changed his life: you serve an audience of One.

If you’ve ever wrestled with approval, consistency, courage, or living out your faith under pressure — this one will hit home.

Northern Nigeria is being described as one of the most dangerous places on earth to be a Christian — and most people in the West still have no idea what’s happening.

In this episode of Bible Bros (with Billy Hallowell and Dalton Harper), we sit down with Brad Brandon of Across Nigeria to unpack the brutal reality on the ground: targeted killings, villages burned, millions displaced into IDP camps (internally displaced persons camps), and extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province) spreading fear under radicalized systems of Sharia law.

Brad shares:

Why he says Northern Nigeria is the epicenter of Christian persecution

How their team extracts converts with “contracts” on their lives into a confidential refuge

The heartbreaking story of a woman who escaped after being imprisoned for her faith

The reality of underground churches and audio Bible discipleship

Why he believes the biggest need is prayer — and how YOU can help

The line that will stick with you: “Find your Nigeria.”

If you’ve ever wondered what Christian persecution looks like in real time — or what bold, obedient faith actually costs — this conversation will challenge you, convict you, and move you to action.

What can Christians learn from Stephen — the first Christian martyr — and his stunning response to persecution?

In this episode of The Bible Bros Podcast, Billy Hallowell and Dalton Harper walk through the powerful story of Stephen being stoned in Acts 7. Together, they explore why Stephen’s forgiveness matters, how his faith held firm under extreme pressure, and what his final words teach believers today.

Stephen didn’t just preach boldly — he forgave radically. As stones were thrown, he echoed the heart of Christ, asking God to forgive those killing him. This Bible study dives into the cost of following Jesus, the meaning of Christian forgiveness, and how believers can live faithfully in a hostile world.

In this episode, we cover:
– Who Stephen was in the Bible
– Why his martyrdom is a turning point in Acts
– The connection between Stephen’s forgiveness and Jesus on the cross
– What modern Christians can learn about faith, courage, and grace

Kirk Cameron — yes, Mike Seaver himself — joins Bible Bros for a wild and surprisingly deep conversation that goes way beyond nostalgia.

We start with laughs (beard revival, "Growing Pains" memories, and a "Duck Dynasty" detour)… and then we dive headfirst into the firestorm — what the Bible really says about hell and “Hellgate.” After a clip from a father-son chat went viral, people assumed Kirk was denying hell entirely — and the backlash exploded.

In this episode, Kirk breaks down:

• What actually sparked the “Hellgate” controversy

• Why Christians have debated hell for 2,000 years

• Eternal conscious torment vs. annihilation/conditional immortality (and why this isn’t a “salvation issue” for believers)

• How to answer the question your kids and neighbors ask: “How could a loving God do that?”

• Why we need more respectful, Berean-style conversations — not heresy-hunting

Plus… Kirk casually invites Billy and Dalton on a Louisiana hunting trip with the Robertsons, and the gator talk gets unhinged in the best way.

Watch, think, and jump into the discussion — but let’s keep it iron-sharpens-iron.

Check out Kirk’s full “Hellgate” deep dive on The Kirk Cameron Show.

In this episode, Billy Hallowell and Dalton Harper sit down with Frank Turek (CrossExamined.org) to talk about the surge of interest in Christianity, what’s encouraging, and what’s dangerous if the Church doesn’t do the hard part next: make disciples — not just converts.

Frank also tackles the viral questions people keep throwing around right now:

- “Is Jesus coming back soon?” (and why date-setting is always a mess)

- How can faith be growing while culture looks like it’s unraveling?

- Why “I believe because I feel it” is fragile faith

- Why Christians need reasons (not just emotions) for what they believe

- The blunt answer to “Who made God?”

- The two biggest objections people raise: evil and God’s “hiddenness”

- And why Christianity isn’t a Sunday hobby — it’s 24/7 (yes, even when it comes to how we think about culture and politics)

Frank also shares his story — from Catholic high school to the Navy to studying under Norman Geisler, and how apologetics became his life’s work.

What do you do when life falls apart—and God feels silent?

In Episode 2 of The Bible Bros, Billy Hallowell and Dalton Harper go deep into the Book of Job—one of the most misunderstood, most powerful books in the entire Bible. Job loses everything: his children, wealth, health, and reputation… and the people who should’ve supported him show up with accusations instead.

This isn’t a neat “bad things happen for a reason” conversation. This is a real one.

We wrestle with the questions every man eventually faces:

• Why does God allow suffering?

• What’s the difference between conviction and condemnation?

• How do you keep your integrity when you’re emotionally wrecked?

• What does it mean to pray without ceasing—not just in the morning, but all day?

• And what if you never get the closure you want?

Job didn’t get the explanation he demanded… but he encountered God. And that changes everything.
