Each episode unpacks Scripture in context so you can understand the Word as if you were there when it happended, making the Bible easier to understand and God easier to know and love. If you’re looking to grow in faith with real insights and a fresh perspective, this podcast is your guide.

Bruce Van Natta is the founder and president of Sweet Bread Ministries.He is a common, everyday person that serves the Living God who is anything but ordinary.His journey from prodigal son to full time ministry stretched out over three decades before culminating in a display of God’s power and grace.

During this near death experience he got to see the two angels that the Lord had sent to save his life. Bruce is the only person Doctors can find who has ever lived from some of the injuries he had.

Since recovering from this accident he and his family have gone into full-time ministry sharing their gripping testimony wherever the Lord leads. They have felt led to not only minister to the body of Christ but also to those in need, resulting in building an orphanage in Honduras and a church in India with home equity as well as doing prison and jail ministry.

He and his wife Lori and their four children-Lauren, Caleb, Jacob, and Emily live in Wisconsin.

Dr. Peeler’s initial research in the Epistle to the Hebrews prompted her to explore ancient rhetoric, the use of the Old Testament in the New, Israel's sacrificial system, atonement, family and inheritance in the Ancient World. The focus on God as Father in Hebrews led to studies in feminist theology, Mary, mother of God, and theological language.

Hebrews articulates what Amy believes is true of all Scripture: it is living and active and sharp enough to penetrate our hearts, minds, and spirits. If we give it our attention and respect, God will reward that work. Consequently, she always discovers new insights into the character of God as she explores the entire Bible with her classes, colleagues, fellow church members, and family. Her husband Lance, a church organist, and their children, Kate, Maxson, and Kindred serve as her most dear companions on this race of faith (Heb 12:1-2), and she is thankful to count the Wheaton community as her fellow runners as well.

# 106 Understanding Miracles + Dr. Craig Keener Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

What if the miracles of Jesus weren't primarily about healing people—but about revealing who He is?

What would these miracles have communicated about Jesus to someone standing there watching them happen?

Why do the Gospel writers frame Jesus' miracles as echoes of the Exodus instead of simply displays of power?

What assumptions do we bring to the Bible that the biblical authors themselves never had?

How is that different from the way modern Christians often approach faith?
