Self-righteousness can quietly creep into our hearts — even among those devoted to doing good. In this episode, Robert Hatfield is joined by David Sproule to talk about the danger of self-righteousness in the life of a preacher and within the church.

Together, they discuss how pride in our own righteousness can undermine grace, distort our message, and damage our relationships with others and with God. David draws on years of experience in ministry to offer practical wisdom for recognizing and resisting this subtle sin.

In this episode of Why We Love Jesus, Brad meditates on the title "Christ" and why it causes us to love Jesus! 

In this episode of Inside the Scholar's Study, Dr. Gallagher begins a new study of the Apocryphal New Testament works.

On this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily looks at the book of Philippians to find our next powerful example: the negative example of disagreement. Not getting along affects more than just those between whom the disagreement takes place, as these two sisters teach us. The Lord’s work is far more important than our own preferences, and chapter 2 of the letter teaches us both the how and why of ridding our hearts of selfishness.

I've been studying the Bible for a long time, why do I still have so many questions? The Bible is a book revealing the mind of God to us. There will always be questions, but thankfully there will always be answers too. We should enjoy the discovery of truth and allow ourselves to learn new things as we are changed into the kind of people God wants us to be through our encounter with the text.

Passages Referenced:
2 Timothy 2:15; Matthew 4:4; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 8:31-32; Acts 17:11-12; Ephesians 3:3-5; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Psalm 1:2; Joshua 1:8; 1 Peter 1:10-12; 2 Peter 3:15-16; Daniel 12:5-9; Revelation 17:6-7

In this episode of Today With Jesus, Robert Hatfield and Dan Winkler continue their journey through Isaiah 53, turning their focus to “The Burden of the Suffering Servant.”

From the pen of Isaiah and the heart of prophecy, we see Jesus—our Suffering Servant—carrying not only the sins of others but also their pain, sorrow, and rejection. In this study, Robert and Dan explore two powerful truths:

1. The Affliction of Others — The Servant came to minister to those who were burdened, broken, and hurting. He entered our suffering to lift us from it.
2. The Rejection of the Servant — Despite His compassion, the world turned away. Yet through His rejection came our redemption.

Through rich Scripture discussion and practical reflection, this episode helps listeners feel the emotional and spiritual weight of what Jesus bore on our behalf—and invites us to respond with gratitude, faith, and deeper love for Him.

In this episode, we talk about Babylonian history, some of its most important figures, where it crosses over with the Bible.

In this episode of The Book Club, Brad reviews a short but helpful book about the message of Daniel! 

Christy and Kristen chat about David's victorious speech to Goliath, finding comfort in Jesus' assertion that He has overcome the world, recognizing the only thing that can separate us from God, and how to look for God's help in overcoming temptation and facing the unknown.
