Understanding the Bible episodes

  • S3 Ep. 21 - How to Handle Money - Intro

    This is the introduction to the series on Finances. Listen today to get my recommendations for how to get started on being financially free. No, it's not the "debt snowball" or even a "program". I just share principles from the Bible about spending, saving, and investing along with modern day recommendations based on my career in the financial sector.

    This episode explains the importance that God and Jesus Christ Himself placed on money and handling your personal finances. Did you know that over 40% of Jesus' parables dealt with stewardship of your possessions and wealth?
    God thinks money is important, and so should we. Listen today and let me know if you have a Bible verse about money that you would like explained.

  • S3 Ep. 20 - Truth and Reality

    I thought it was time we talk about "your truth" vs. "my truth" and the objections people have to reality in our society. We take a little dive into philosophy in this one, so buckle up for some serious thinking.

    The discussion centers around the idea that ABSOLUTE TRUTH exists and what the counter arguments to that are. We also get into the source of morality, good vs. evil, and why societies laws really have no bearing on moral goodness.
    Listen today, and email me if you have further questions about these arguments at [email protected].

  • S3 Ep. 19 - Real Talk

    I just wanted to inform you guys of a couple of important things. Please listen to this for an update about the podcast, a shout out to YOU the listener, and an important lesson about the WORD of God.

    Short and sweet with 2 hard hitting truths: you shouldn't care so much about your "feelings" when it comes to studying the Bible, and we need to spend more time actually reading and MEMORIZING the Bible.
    God bless you!

  • S3 Ep. 18 - Psalm 23

    This Psalm is very calming for some people. It was an easy metaphor for King David to make considering his earlier profession of Shepherd. The interesting thing about this metaphor is that Jesus is called the Lamb of God while at the same time He is referred to as the Good Shepherd throughout the whole Bible, and WE are His sheep.

    Hopefully you will listen to this and come away with a deeper trust in Jesus and a little less worry in your life!
    May God bless you when you attempt to do right!

    Have you ever wondered how Jesus Christ came to be? Did He exist before He was born as baby Jesus in Bethlehem?

  • S3 Ep. 16 – Israel vs. Gaza, What to believe

    War in the Middle East, AGAIN! America has funded our political ally Israel, while at the same time sending millions of dollars to Hamas (Israel's enemy that attacked them on Oct. 7, 2023) and BILLIONS of dollars to their lifelong enemy Iran (almost $100 billion) who just spent that money on thousands of missiles that they fired at our ally Israel.

    So why should we care? Who should we support, should we support anybody? "Not our war, not our fight"?

    Does your support even make a difference? We don't control our tax dollars, our evil government does.


    YES, we should care. Listen today to learn the truth and to understand what GOD actually says about our support in His Bible.

  • S3 Ep. 14 - SANCTIFICATION, Salvation, and Baptism

    This episode explains the 2 parts of sanctification and why people often confuse it WITH salvation.

    If you wonder what the word means, it basically means "to set apart for Holy things" or "to purify, to make something Holy". Sanctification will not save you, but our salvation makes us sanctified before God.
    It doesn't end there, we have an obligation as well. Listen to this podcast today to learn more!

  • S3 Ep. 13 - SALVATION, Baptism, and Sanctification

    Happy Easter! But what is it exactly? and what does it have to do with Salvation?

    In Latin and Greek, the Christian celebration was, and still is, called Pascha (Greek: Πάσχα). The word originally denoted the Jewish festival known in English as Passover, commemorating the Jewish Exodus from slavery in Egypt.
    Jesus was resurrected the day AFTER Passover and that is what Christians today celebrate and call Easter. It may even be the reason most Christians go to church on Sunday instead of the Sabbath (Saturday).
    This Easter remember the real celebration, and what the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ actually means.
    Listen to this podcast today for the real story and to learn the Good News about life after death!!

  • S3 Ep. 12 - BAPTISM, Salvation, and Sanctification

    What is Baptism? Do we have to get baptized? Is baptism a sacrament? Why did Jesus get baptized?

    All these questions and more are answered in this episode. Get out your Bible and prepare to do some reading. These are all great questions and you will be able

    to walk away from this being fully confident about the answers.

    As always, the answer to any question is. . .

    What does the Bible say!?
