  • #285: What are you doing here?

    In 1st Kings 19 God asked Elijah, "What are you doing here?" Robert and Andrew talk about Elijah's experience that led him to where he was and whether he was supposed to be there.

    As we enter 2026 imagine God is asking you the same questions, "What are you doing where you are?" Do you have an answer? Is where you are where you are supposed to be?

  • #283: Claiming the Promises

    Thinking of others before yourself... that is something easy enough to talk about but very difficult for most people to accomplish.

    What about helping everyone achieve their goals and dreams before you think about accomplishing your own? Andrew and Robert discuss someone in Joshua 14 who aided his whole nation before thinking about claiming his own promise.

  • #282: Don't be a Stumbling Block

    This episode Andrew and Robert read from Roman 14 and discuss what it means to follow rules and regulations for Christians and what a Stumbling Block means. Is your behavior a positive OR a negative for your fellow believers? Can God actually hold you responsible because of someone's learned behavior from your actions? Even in the name of doing what is right??

  • #281: Doing your Duty

    Sometimes Sin has a long-lasting effect on our lives; whether it is due to cause an effect or sometimes just guilt in having committed the sin to begin with.

    In 2 Samuel 13:21-39 we see how David's sin with Bathsheba affected him and his household moving forward. Andrew and Robert discuss the problems of doing nothing even after asking for forgiveness for the wrongs you have done.

  • #280: He Took the Poor Man's Lamb

    Imagine the anger you would feel when you hear about a massive injustice done to a regular person by someone in power. Now imagine the guilt you experience when you realize YOU are the perpetrator of that injustice. 

    Andrew and Robert discuss the emotions that David went through as Nathan recounted David's own recent history back to him. The consequences went on to damage David's family for many years.

  • #279: Quicken Me According to Thy Word

    As Robert and Andrew near the end of Psalm 119 they notice something special and dive deeper into how it was written as a song. 

    The writer of Psalm 119, King David, really focused on specific areas in each section of his writing and in verses 145-160 he paid close attention to requesting a Quickening.

  • #278: Counsel for the Church and for the Family

    Ah, Ephesians 5. We focus most on, "Wives obey your husbands" and "Husbands love your wives" but there is so much more in the chapter. There are guides into how families should work together and how we should treat each others as members of Jesus' church.

    Andrew and Robert do dive into the husbands & wives section to examine what most of us get wrong.

  • #277: Jesus Knew

    Jesus says, "One of you will betray me."

    The Disciples, "Is it me? Is it me?"

    Jesus knew how his death would come to pass and He tried to prepare his disciples but what they were hoping would happen clouded their judgement to what was going to happen.

    As we see what is going on around us are we blind, hoping for an outcome different from what the Bible says? Are we doing what Jesus did to stay on mission?

    Robert and Andrew read from John 13 and discuss the topic, "Jesus Knew"

  • #276: Thy Righteousness is Everlasting

    Andrew and Robert continue on with Psalm 119 covering verses 129-144. Verse 142 says, "Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is the truth." This is where the title of today's episode originates. 

    With God's righteousness being everlasting what does that say about the Old Testament where most people treat God as if he were vengeful? Do we even have a right to judge God's activities when our frame of reference is so small?
