#198 - What to Do with the Rest of Your Life Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

When someone does us a favor, we tend to feel obligated to pay back the kindness. It's just part of who we are.
It's gratitude.
Yet when it comes to God's favor on us, we face a debt we can never repay. So what can we do to express gratitude?
This episode of Live the Bible teaches us how to respond to the overwhelming favor God has lavished on us. The book of Leviticus shows us how to express our dedication and gratitude to Jesus Christ.

#197 - How Can You Know God Accepts You? Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

God is love.

But He is more than that. The same Bible also teaches that our Lord is a God of wrath. He loves sinners, but hates sin.

So how does God choose which attribute to act on—love or wrath? And how can we know if God accepts us—for sure?

To discover the answer, this episode of Live the Bible takes us to a surprising place: the Old Testament book of Leviticus. (That's no typo.)

If you've ever read Leviticus, you know it reads a bit like the new has rubbed off. A bit outdated. But once we look beyond the rituals, we see a richness and a relevance of timeless truths that help us know without a doubt that God accepts us—and why He does.

#196 - Questions and Answers – Part II Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

Good questions deserve biblical answers.
In our last episode of Live the Bible, we shared a special "Questions and Answers" episode with so many questions we're adding a Part 2!
These questions ask about the Christian life, the Bible, and problems with understanding certain head-scratching Scriptures. We'll examine each good question and offer a biblical answer.
You may have even had these questions yourself!

#195 - Questions and Answers – Part I Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

The Bible tells us all we need to know, but not all we want to know.

(Like, why can’t we have a little less about genealogies and more about raising teenagers?)

In this special Q&A episode, I'm going to answer some listener-submitted questions about the Bible and about how to live the Bible.

Because that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?

#194 - How to Get that Dirt Off Your Hands Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

Feeling guilty feels bad. Horrible, actually.
We've all done things we regret. But a surprising number of people feel like they're living life with dirty hands. A constant, low-grade guilt.
The world's solution is to do good things in order to offset the bad. But maybe you've noticed, no matter how much good we do—it doesn't erase the bad.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we're turning to a beautiful passage from Isaiah's pen that shows us God's solution. And it works! We can get that dirt off our hands once and for all.

#193 - How to Break Your Generational Curse Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

Parenting is tough work. But so is having parents!
Many of us grew up with a mixed bag of experiences that hurt a whole lot. And while our upbringing certainly shaped our lives, it doesn't define us.
Only God defines us.
This episode of Live the Bible shows us how Josiah walked with God in spite of his terrible home life. We see how we can break free from our generational curse and allow the Lord to make us into who He wants us to be.

#192 - God Will Never Give Up on You Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

Your property probably has a fence—and for good reason.
A fence acts mostly as a boundary, letting someone know to stay in or to stay out.
God's Word is like a fence too—and for good reason.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we see a man who didn't just ignore the fences of God's law, he tore them down! King Manasseh was the worst king that Judah ever had.
And yet, in spite of how terrible Manasseh was, God never gave up on him—and He won't give up on us (or our loved ones) either.

#191 - How to Face Your Fears with God Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

The most common command in the Bible is no big surprise.
"Fear not."
Easy to say, but tough work to do. Truthfully, some of us don't know how we'll react to fear until we're actually afraid.
King Hezekiah had plenty to fear. He faced a situation where fear was the most natural response, and yet—he found strength in God.
How? Well that's the million dollar question, and we'll discover the answer right in God's Word.

#190 - What Happens When People are Bigger than God Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

I'll be honest: I'm a recovering people-pleaser.
Even though we all have a need to be loved and accepted, many of us will search far and wide to find that acceptance. Sometimes too far.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we meet a man named Joash who was, at his core, a people-pleaser. The life of Joash shows us how we can fear God more than fear people.
We'll see how to live in the freedom of our relationship with Christ.

#189 - God’s Secret of Getting What You Want Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

Take a guess how many advertisements you saw yesterday?

Believe it or not, the average person sees up to 10,000 ads per day. That rapid-fire barrage of marketing hardly helps us stay content with what we have!

In this episode of Live the Bible, we're opening to 1 Kings 21 to learn from Ahab and Jezebel, an infamous power couple whose greed offers us a cautionary tale, for sure—and much more.

We'll also see God's secret of getting what we truly want.
