  • Ep. 21 - There Were No Three Kings at the Nativity! But the Truth is Even Cooler

    No three kings visited baby Jesus—but the real Nativity story is far more profound and meaningful than tradition suggests. Discover the biblical truth in this episode!

    Episode Highlights
    • Myth Busted: The Magi weren't "three kings" and didn't arrive at the manger—here's what Scripture actually says (Matthew 2).

    • Deeper Meaning: The way that God used both the magi and King Herod to spread the news of the Messiah points to how God can use anyone and any situation to accomplish His purpose. There is also meaning to the timing of the magi and the shepherds arrive to see Jesus.

      • Ep. 17 - The Ten Commandments Explained (5–10) | Jesus' Teachings & Everyday Life

        Welcome back to The Bumpy Narrow Road — the podcast about the real ups and downs of living out Christian principles in everyday life.

        In this episode, we dive deep into the second half of the Ten Commandments (5 through 10) and wrestle with three big questions for each:

        1. What does it actually mean?

        2. What does Jesus say about it?

        3. How does it fit into the objective structure of reality?

          From honoring your parents to avoiding envy, we unpack how these commandments aren’t just “rules” — they’re life-giving truths that point us toward God’s design for human flourishing.

          If you’ve ever asked questions like:

          • “Do the Ten Commandments still apply today?”

          • “How does Jesus expand on them in the New Testament?”

          • “What does it look like to follow them in modern life?”

            …you’ll find this conversation both challenging and practical.

            🙏 Join us as we navigate the narrow road together.
