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.

What was Jesus doing before His public ministry began?

Why don’t we know anything about His teenage years?

Matthew Halsted is the author of Paul and the Meaning of Scripture: A Philosophical-Hermeneutic Approach to Paul’s Use of the Old Testament in Romans. This book takes a look at the (often creative) ways St. Paul interpreted Old Testament texts by drawing on the insights of German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer. His latest is a popular-level book that challenges some commonly-held American evangelical ideas about eschatology. It’s called The End of the World as You Know It: What the Bible Really Says about the End Times (And Why It’s Good News). He's currently in the throes of other writing projects—the details of which he is excited to share sometime in 2026.

His educational background includes degrees in international studies and philosophy, as well as a PhD in philosophical hermeneutics/biblical studies (London School of Theology/Middlesex University). He had the privilege of working at Eternity Bible College, where he get to teach amazing students alongside fantastic colleagues. He is also an Anglican priest.

#74 Popular Verses—Explained the Way They Were Meant to Be Understood + Dr. Jeannine Brown Oct 14, 2025

Show notes

What do exegesis and eisegesis mean in plain language?

What if the way we often read the Bible actually says more about us—our culture, our assumptions—than it does about God?

Have you ever quoted a Bible verse—on a coffee mug, in your Instagram bio, or to encourage a friend—only to later find out it doesn’t actually mean what you thought it meant?

Rev'd Archpriest Michael Butler has been a priest for 30 years, serving parishes in Michigan and Ohio. He has a BA in archetypal psychology, an MA in theology, and a PhD in church history & patristics. He has taught at university and trained men for the diaconate. He has worked with the Foundation for Research in Economics and the Environment (Bozeman, MT), the Liberty Fund (Indianapolis, IN), and the Acton Institute (Grand Rapids, MI) on interdisciplinary work in environmentalism, economics, religion, literature, philosophy, politics, social justice, and natural law. For 30 years he has been interested in men’s work, especially in the areas of rites of passage, masculine archetypes, sacred space/time, and initiation. He is always looking for ways that traditional Orthodox psychology, spirituality, and practice can help everyone today become the best they can be. He is married to Annette, his wife of 40 years, and has two grown sons. When he's not at home, or at church, or in conversation with someone over coffee, he'll likely be at the gym, pumping iron.
