"Faith and Works." This is one of the apparent contradictions of the Bible. The apostle Paul writes that we are justified by faith alone. While James—Jesus' brother and one of the New Testament writers—says faith without works is dead. How do we reconcile these two facts? Dr. Bruce Becker helps us understand just how faith and works go together, taking us all the way back to Genesis. Through this exploration, we see what real faith is.

About our new podcast "Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker":

The Bible can be intimidating, right? There are 66 different books, more than 700,000 words, and all of it was written over a period of 1,600 years by dozens of different authors. How do we make sense of it all, and what does it mean for our lives? Amazingly, the Bible is incredibly interconnected with “threads” that run through it from beginning to end. In this podcast, Bible scholar and author Dr. Bruce Becker will uncover these threads, help you dig deeper into God’s truth, and inspire you to live your life with greater confidence and joy.

Dr. Becker brings his vast experience to share with you through this podcast. He has served as the pastor of a mission start in New York State; lead pastor of a church in Brillion, Wisconsin; and a ministry coach to churches and schools.
