Is the Bible inerrant? Christians often debate whether Scripture is without error, but the real question is deeper than that. What do we even mean when we say the Bible is “inerrant” or “inspired”? Does believing in God’s Word mean we have to ignore history, science, or contradictions?

In this video, we’ll explore the origins of the idea of biblical inerrancy, how early Christians thought about Scripture, and whether the Bible demands perfection in the way modern people imagine. If you’ve ever wondered how to trust the Bible without checking your brain at the door, this conversation is for you.

This channel is for skeptics, seekers, and the spiritually curious who are wrestling with faith and asking big questions. If you’ve been burned by easy answers, you’re in the right place.

This video is different from my usual format. Instead of reviewing or teaching in the same way, I want to pause and process the heartbreaking events unfolding in our country. This is not about politics. It is about Jesus, His kingdom, and what it means to follow Him in the middle of violence, fear, and division. We’ll look at Scriptures that show us how Christians are called to respond—with kindness, patience, gentleness, and courage. Matthew 5 reminds us to let our light shine through good deeds. 1 Peter 3:15 calls us to answer with respect. Philippians 2 urges us to live without grumbling so that we shine as lights in a dark world. Galatians 5 points us back to the fruit of the Spirit. And Jesus Himself calls us to love our enemies in Luke 6. If you’re weary of the outrage, if you’re wondering what it looks like to follow Jesus when tragedy and anger dominate the headlines, this conversation is for you.

When most people think about church, they think about what they can get out of it—good music, inspiring sermons, or a sense of belonging. But what if church was never meant to be centered around you? In this video, we’ll explore what the Bible actually says about the purpose of church and why that’s good news for those who feel disillusioned by it. If you’ve been burned by church or you’re wondering if it even matters anymore, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective.

Why do so many church leaders fail the very people they are supposed to serve?

If you’ve been hurt, disillusioned, or just left wondering whether you can trust pastors anymore, this conversation is for you.

A lot of us have wrestled with the question: Do I really need to go to church to follow Jesus? In this video, I dive into what the Bible actually says about church, community, and what it means to live out faith today. We’ll look at the word ekklesia in the New Testament, explore how the earliest Christians practiced their faith, and ask whether modern church culture really lines up with Jesus’ vision. If you’ve been hurt by church or are skeptical of organized religion, you’re not alone—and this conversation might give you a fresh perspective.

Why does the Bible end the way it does—and what does it actually mean for us today? In Part 3 of this Bible overview series, we explore the final act of the story: the arrival of Jesus, the rise of a new kind of humanity, and a vision of heaven that’s not about escaping earth—but restoring it. If you’ve ever felt lost reading the Bible or unsure how it all fits together, this video is for you. We’ll break down: • Why the Gospels tell more than just the crucifixion story • How Jesus perfectly reflects the image we were always meant to bear • What the early church reveals about human flourishing • And why the Bible ends with heaven coming here, not us going there Whether you’re a seeker, a skeptic, or someone who’s walked away from traditional religion—this is a fresh, honest look at what the Bible has really been trying to say all along.

Ever opened your Bible to the middle and wondered, “What is going on here?” You’re not alone. From strange laws to violent stories, the middle section of Scripture can feel like a theological minefield — even contradictory to the message of Jesus. In this episode, we explore Act Two of the Bible’s larger narrative: the Law, the Rule, and the Loss. Why did Israel want a king like everyone else? What do we do with stories that seem to depict God endorsing violence or injustice? And how does any of this relate to your own story?
