While the resurrection of Jesus Christ stands at the very center of the Christian faith, some believers wrestle with concerns about Easter’s origins, cultural traditions, and modern commercialization.

Looking carefully at Scripture, Dr. Pollock explains what the Bible does — and does not — say about celebrating Easter, the role of Christian liberty, and how believers can approach this issue with wisdom, conviction, and love. This episode explores questions about pagan associations, Easter traditions, conscience, and the importance of keeping Christ at the center of every celebration.

Ultimately, this message highlights the power of the resurrection, the freedom believers have in matters not commanded in Scripture, and the unique opportunity Easter provides to proclaim the gospel and point others to new life in Jesus Christ.

If you’re seeking biblical clarity on traditions, Christian liberty, and how to honor God in cultural celebrations, this episode will help you think carefully and walk wisely.

In this episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim Pollock answers a question he is frequently asked: Why do you still use the King James Bible? Is it tradition? Nostalgia? Habit? Or is there a thoughtful, biblical reason behind the conviction?

With decades of preaching, studying, and comparing translations, Dr. Pollock explains why he remains confident in the King James Version as the most faithful and reliable English translation available today. This episode explores the importance of a high view of Scripture, translation philosophy (word-for-word vs. thought-for-thought), manuscript foundations, literary precision, and the enduring fruit of the KJV over 400 years of church history.

While making clear that this is not a salvation issue, Dr. Pollock thoughtfully outlines why he believes the King James Bible offers unmatched accuracy, stability, doctrinal precision, and reverent beauty — and how he uses other translations as helpful tools without replacing his foundational text.

If you’ve ever wondered which Bible translation to trust — or why faithful believers differ on this issue — this episode will help you think carefully, biblically, and confidently about the Word of God.

In this episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim Pollock explores one of the deepest and most profound doctrines in all of Scripture — the Trinity.

What does it mean that God is one, yet exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Is the Trinity a contradiction or a mystery? And why does this truth matter for our daily walk with God?

Discover how Scripture reveals the unity of God from Genesis to Revelation, the distinct roles of each person of the Godhead, and how the Trinity shapes our understanding of salvation, prayer, worship, and God’s personal relationship with believers.

This message will help you see that the doctrine of the Trinity is not meant to confuse us, but to humble us, strengthen our faith, and lead us into deeper worship of our great and glorious God.

Join us as we explore the beauty, power, and practical significance of the God who is eternally three in one.

What do BC and AD actually mean, and why is Jesus Christ at the very center of human history?

While BC does mean Before Christ, AD does not mean After Death. It comes from the Latin phrase Anno Domini, meaning “in the year of our Lord.” That distinction alone reveals something remarkable—history itself is divided by the life of Jesus Christ.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What BC and AD truly mean and how the calendar came to be

• Why Jesus Christ became the dividing line of world history

• How even modern attempts to rename BC and AD cannot remove Christ from history

• Why the exact year of Christ’s birth matters far less than His eternal impact

• How BC and AD are not only historical terms—but deeply personal realities

Dr. Tim also brings the discussion home by showing that every person has a BC (Before Christ) and an AD (the year of our Lord) moment. Salvation draws a line in the sand. Christ doesn’t just divide calendars—He divides destinies.

Whether you’re interested in history, theology, or the personal meaning of faith, this episode will help you think biblically, understand history more clearly, and examine where you stand today.

Dr. Tim Pollock explores a foundational and deeply meaningful question: Why does God reveal Himself by so many names in the Bible, and what do those names teach us about who He really is?

Far from being decorative titles, the names of God are divine revelations. Each name unveils something true about God’s character—His power, faithfulness, nearness, holiness, and saving grace. Scripture reminds us, “They that know thy name will put their trust in thee” (Psalm 9:10), and this episode shows why knowing God’s names leads to deeper trust, stronger prayer, and a richer relationship with Him.

In this study, you’ll discover:

• Why names in Scripture reveal identity, nature, and relationship

• Key Old Testament names of God such as El, Elohim, El Shaddai, Adonai, and Yahweh

• The meaning and promise behind compound names like Jehovah Jireh, Rapha, Shalom, Rohi, and Tsidkenu

• How every name of God finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ

• Why knowing God’s names is not just informational, but relational

This episode gently but clearly explains why all names for God are not the same, and how the biblical names of God uniquely reveal the true and living God who saves, provides, heals, and stays near to His people.

Whether you’re new to studying Scripture or have walked with the Lord for many years, this message will help you know God more deeply, trust Him more fully, and worship Him more richly.

In Part Two of this important conversation, Dr. Tim Pollock continues addressing a question that repeatedly surfaces in the Christian life: Should a Christian drink alcohol?

This episode moves beyond the clear biblical prohibition of drunkenness to examine the deeper principles Scripture provides regarding wisdom, leadership, testimony, and influence. With a pastoral heart and a Bible-centered approach, Dr. Tim explains why this issue is far more than a matter of personal preference or cultural acceptance.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why Scripture consistently calls God’s people to sobriety and clear-minded living

• The king, priest, and Rechabite principles and what they teach believers today

• God’s warning about influencing others toward alcohol

• The real spiritual, relational, and societal risks connected to drinking

• Why Christian liberty must always be governed by love, wisdom, and testimony

• When Scripture allows alcohol for limited medicinal use—and why that exception matters

This is not a message of condemnation or legalism, but one of protection, clarity, and care for souls. The central question is not simply Can a Christian drink? But rather Is it wise, helpful, and honoring to God?

If alcohol has become a struggle, this episode also offers hope—reminding listeners that Christ breaks chains, restores hearts, and fills lives with the power of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, Dr. Tim Pollock addresses a question Christians ask often—but one that is frequently answered emotionally, culturally, or defensively: What does the Bible really say about drinking alcohol?

Anchored in Ephesians 5:18, Dr. Tim explains why alcohol is not merely a social issue but a spiritual one, and why Scripture consistently contrasts intoxication with being filled with the Holy Spirit.

• Why the Bible places alcohol and Spirit-filling side by side

• The difference between biblical wine and modern alcohol

• How drunkenness consistently leads to spiritual and moral harm

• Eight practical, biblical questions believers should ask about drinking

• Why God does not offer restriction to remove joy—but provides something far better

Whether you’ve wrestled with this question personally or want a clear, Scripture-based answer to share with others, this episode will help you think biblically, live wisely, and walk faithfully in a confusing world.
