The Jim Bradford Podcast

We have spent the last 66 episodes working our way through each book of the Bible. In this week's episode, we take a closer look at the book of Revelation and the incredible way in which the Biblical story comes to a close. Pastor Jim helps set Revelation in its context and offers thought not only on its interpretation but on its application for believers today. 

We are coming close to the end of our conversations through the Bible. In this week's episode, we discuss the book of Jude. The next to last book of the Bible, Jude is often missed by readers of the Bible. Though it is not long, it gives us a fascinating look into the world of the early church and a compelling description of the work of discipleship. Pastor Jim helps us better understand the book, its history, and how it can guide believers today.

In this week's conversation, we're wrapping up our look at the letters of John. Pastor Jim offers an explanation of 3 John and its historical setting. It gives us the opportunity to talk about false teaching and the dangers of accumulating power as leaders. 

As we continue our conversations through the Bible, we come to the second letter of John. Though one of the shortest books in the New Testament, 2 John offers some important warnings to the Church. Pastor Jim helps us better understand the historical context of the letter and what we can learn from John's advice.

As we continue our conversations through the Bible, we come to three letters attributed to John. In today's episode, we explore John as an author and the unique time and setting of John's letters. It gives us a chance to see how the church was growing and the new challenges the church faced. Pastor Jim will help you apply John's first letter to your life as a believer and leader as well. 

In this week's episode, we continue our conversations through the Bible by discussing the book of 2 Peter. Last week, we had a chance to discuss the role of Peter in the New Testament; today, we dig deeper into his life and his second letter. Pastor Jim explores the book's major themes and helps us reflect on lessons we can learn for today.

In this week's episode we're exploring Peter's letters in the New Testament with a conversation on 1 Peter. A familiar figure to the gospel stories and the book of Acts, Pastor Jim explores Peter's life and writings to the churches of Asia Minor. We also discuss what today's believers can learn from Peter's teaching.  

We're continuing our series through the books of the Bible with today's conversation on the book of James. James is a unique book in the New Testament. It has often raised questions about the relationship between faith and works. In our conversation today, Pastor Jim explores the book's authorship and how James' advice shapes us as followers of Christ. 

In today's episode, we continue through the books of the Bible by discussing the book of Hebrews. While the authorship of the book is debated, it is certainly one of the richest and most complicated books of the New Testament, full of Old Testament allusions and theological comparisons. We take a closer look at the letter, its famous warnings, and also its encouragement of faith. 

In today's episode, we continue through the books of the Bible by discussing the book of Philemon. Among the Bible's shortest books, Philemon recounts a complicated personal situation that Paul sought to reconcile. In our conversation, we'll discuss ancient slavery and how the gospel transforms our identities and relationships. Though short, there is a lot to be learned from this little book.
