In this standalone miniseries on the presence and absence of God, the Rebind investigates what the Bible has to say about the various ways that God "shows up" and what happens when He does. Aiming to address both intellectual objections and personal crises, these episodes are full of humbling surprises as the Scriptures show us the incredible kindness and incredible temporariness of God's social distancing. Part 1.

In this episode of the Rebind finishes the podcast's reflection on Ezekiel 8-11, a key scene where God's glory leaves the temple in Jerusalem. But with the concluding verdict of the dramatized judgment front and center, we'll have to wrestle with what we've done to our own rituals and sacred spaces today.

In this first of the month interview, we talk with Jonathan Wright about his research on the unfolding storyline of the temple in the Bible. Not only will his insights help us understand the book of Ezekiel and its temple visions, but they'll also help us understand and put together our Bibles as a whole!

This episode of the Rebind ventures into Ezekiel 8-11, an important section in the book where the glory of God leaves the temple in Jerusalem. While this episode covers the first two chapters of that massive show-stopper, it slows down to reflect on a major theme that surfaces in the story centered around the idea of "seeing." Do we think God turns away from us? How is that different from the way He actually does turn away in this section of Ezekiel?

This episode picks up the Rebind's look at Ezekiel chapters four to seven, zooming in on chapters six and seven. As God continues to personally and passionately prosecute His people for their covenant crimes, a strange emphasis on the land itself begins to surface. Tune in to find out what it might mean for us today.

In this first-of-the-month interview, Dr. Eric Tully discusses the vital contribution of the biblical prophets to the Christian life and message, drawing on both his personal experiences in the church and his many years of prophetic scholarship and teaching.

This episode picks back up the Rebind's step by step journey through Ezekiel's chapters, looking at Ezekiel 4-5, the start of Ezekiel's actual prophecies. In the middle of these dramatic, acted-out oracles, God disrupts our ordinary lives to engage us with important truths about His actions in the world and the expectations we should have.

This episode continues the Rebind's study of Ezekiel as it dives into the emotional autobiography of the prophet himself left for us in the book bearing his name. Not only will the prophet's story humanize the message of the book and make it personal, it will also help make the book personal to you, as his story informs and inspires our own stories.

Having just celebrated Easter, this episode explores the connections between the book of Ezekiel and the resurrection of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. Not only will the discussion stir up a greater appreciation for how important the Old Testament is to the Easter message; it will also generate some fresh insights into the resurrection itself based on what's learned from the Valley of Dry Bones.

In this first-of-the-month interview, Mike, Lisa, and Jake Bliss share their stories of how immersing themselves in all the Bible has transformed their lives. They'll not only inspire you to pick up a Bible but also pass on some practical tips for engaging it.
