Jesus’ final words from the cross—“Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit” (Luke 23:46)—reveal His unwavering trust in the Father, even in the face of death.

In the second part of this study, Dan and Robert continue their conversation with Daniel Puckett and Philly Nong, who served as interns with Robert at the Henderson church of Christ during the summer of 2026. Together, they explore the practical implications of Jesus’ words and consider what His example teaches us about surrendering ourselves completely to God.

How can we entrust our lives to the Father when the future is uncertain? How does confidence in God change the way we endure suffering—and even the way we face death? Join us as we conclude our study of this powerful saying from around the cross.

As Jesus’ suffering on the cross came to an end, He cried out, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit” (Luke 23:46). These final words were not a cry of despair, but an expression of complete trust in the Father.

In this first of a two-part study, Dan and Robert are joined by Daniel Puckett and Philly Nong, who served as interns with Robert at the Henderson church of Christ during the summer of 2026. Together, they consider the Old Testament background of Jesus’ words, what this statement reveals about His relationship with the Father, and how Jesus faced death with confidence because He knew He was in the Father’s hands.

What can Jesus’ final words teach us about faith, surrender, and trusting God when we cannot see what lies ahead? Join us as we study this powerful saying from around the cross.

In this episode of Inside the Scholar's Study, Dr. Gallagher and Brad read, translate, and discuss important issues in Ephesians 1:11-14.

We’ve heard plenty of warnings about controlling our passions—especially when it comes to lust and sexual temptation. But what if the biblical conversation about passion is much bigger than that?

In the Season 14 premiere of Authentically Adam, Wayne explores how our passions include the desires, fears, anger, impulses, and emotions that influence how we respond to life. Passions aren’t always sinful, but they aren’t always trustworthy either. Left unchecked, they can control our reactions, shape our attitudes, and even drive us toward passivity, isolation, worry, and frustration.

Using examples from David and Elijah, along with biblical teaching from Romans, Ephesians, Titus, 1 Thessalonians, and 1 Peter, this episode considers how godly men can understand and properly direct their passions.

The goal isn’t simply to suppress what we feel. Instead, our passions must be ruled by a mind that is itself ruled by God.

Three qualities can help us get there:

• Clarity of mind — 1 Thessalonians 5:4–8

• Stability of soul — Titus 2:2

• Readiness to act — 1 Peter 1:13

Godly masculinity isn’t passionless. It is passion brought under the rule of God.

"Leadership and Emotional Sabotage" by Joe Rignely

Marriage is designed by God to be more than simply two people sharing a life—it is two becoming one. In this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, we explore what it means for husbands and wives to truly belong to one another, embracing the unique closeness, trust, vulnerability, and intimacy God intended for marriage. This intimacy is not merely physical; it encompasses the merging of our lives, goals, finances, emotions, and even our autonomy as we move from “me” to “us.” When cultivated with mutual honor, care, and respect, this unique bond becomes a beautiful gift that provides safety, security, and connection within the marriage.

Ultimately, our marriages are not about us—they are about glorifying God and helping one another see Christ more clearly. We consider what it means to honor our spouse, serve rather than control, protect the sacredness of marital intimacy, and resist the ways the world has distorted God’s good design. Whether your marriage is thriving or hurting, this episode is an encouragement to pursue God’s pattern for becoming one and to pray for marriages around us. May our marriages point both our spouses and the watching world toward the love of Christ and His church.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus chose those specific men to be his apostles? One of our dear listeners did! So, today, we attempt to answer this thoughtful questions by giving an overview of each of the apostles and what they may have brought to the cause of Christ.

The apostles come from varying backgrounds, education, attitudes, occupations, yet worked together so well to expand the Church in the first century.

In this episode, we go back to Genesis 2 to explore God’s foundational design for marriage: leaving father and mother, holding fast to your spouse, and becoming one flesh. “Leaving” doesn’t mean abandoning or dishonoring your parents—it means recognizing that marriage creates a new family that should be prioritized. We can bring the good things we learned from our families of origin into our marriages, but we must build our own home together rather than simply continuing the traditions and expectations we grew up with.

And leaving and cleaving isn’t just a decision we make on our wedding day. Throughout every season of marriage, we have opportunities to choose our spouse, cling to one another, and keep other voices in their proper place. Wise counsel from parents and others can be a blessing, but ultimately our marriage belongs to us, our spouse, and God. Because marriage is meant to reflect Christ and His church, we are called to continually choose each other, protect our union, and hold fast to the one God has joined us to.
