#171 - When Your Dreams Turn into Nightmares Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

The Bible doesn’t tell us everything.

Seriously! There are huge gaps in the Bible. God’s Word doesn’t tell us everything—but it does tell us everything we need to know. God works the same way in our lives, and thankfully, the Bible DOES tell us that we can trust Him, even when we don’t understand what He’s doing.

What can we do when the life God has promised us looks nothing like the life He has given us?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re starting a series on Joseph—a man whose story from Genesis will encourage you to trust God completely.

#335 - How to Better Understand God — and Yourself Oct 21, 2025

Show notes

How do you view God?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll get honest about how we see God and our lives of faith. We tend to assume, “If I’m walking in God’s will, then life’s gonna look like THIS. This is how it should be!”

We view our lives the same way we view social media or Christmas cards—the way we want it to be rather than the way it really is. But God is so much more than that, and He wants our lives of faith to be more than that too.

The book of Luke can help us get there.

#334 - What Did You Expect from God? Oct 14, 2025

Show notes

What do you do when God doesn’t meet your expectations?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll turn to the book of Mark to answer that tough question. We all have an idea about what life will be like when we say yes to following Jesus.

The first disciples certainly had their expectations too! And Jesus disappointed them. But why does God let us experience the hurt, disappointment, and anger of unmet expectations?

The answer, amazingly, is good news.

#333 - Judge Not – What Did Jesus Mean? Oct 07, 2025

Show notes

Almost everybody knows the Bible says, “Judge not.”

But what does that really mean?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we examine one of the most popular verses in the Bible, “Judge not, that ye not be judged” (Matthew 7:1).

What Jesus meant when He gave that famous command might not be what you think!

#332 - The Danger of a Full Calendar and an Empty Heart Sep 30, 2025

Show notes

It’s possible to stay busy for God—and still drift far from Him.

A full calendar. An empty heart.

Not long ago, God’s people were showing up, singing loud, and going through the motions. Yet their hearts had grown cold.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we turn to the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, who cuts through empty religion and calls us back to what God actually wants—a humble walk with Him.

Today you can clear away the noise, confront what dulls your love for God, and take the next real step toward Him.

#331 - Why We Do All We Do Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

Why do you do what you do?

In this episode ofLive the Bible, we take a look at our habits and ask that very question. We all have habits, including ones for the spiritual things we do. And we follow them religiously.

But WHY? And why does what we do matter to God—or does it?

The book of Zechariah gives us the answer.

#330 - How to Keep First Things First Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

Could you list your top 3 priorities?

Yep, me too. But how about when we try to actually live them?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we see that the Bible is not just a Sunday textbook. And during the week, it's not just devotional material to go with our morning coffee.

No, the Bible is for our lives—and it directs our priorities. The problem of living our priorities is not a new one. The Prophet Haggai was dealing with the problem a long time ago. The people then are much like us. The solution still works.

#329 - No Shame On You Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

Failure, shame, regret.

Just pick one, and we’ve all experienced it. And we’d all like to forget it. This episode of Live the Bible is one you may want to listen to all alone.

Why?

Because we’re going to talk about the subject of personal shame. Whether it’s shame because of something you’ve done, or shame because of something done to you, we all struggle with it. The Prophet Zephaniah gives us some much-needed encouragement when our consciences are working overtime to condemn us.

#328 - What to Do When God Does Nothing Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

What can you do when God does nothing?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we get down to the nitty-gritty of our daily walk with God. Why does it seem God is doing nothing? If we’re honest, we wonder that.

A short, Old Testament book with a funny name (thank you, Habakkuk) gives us a wonderful and practical answer we can put into practice as soon as we hear it.

#327 - Clinging to the Hope of God’s Justice Aug 26, 2025

Show notes

We want people to get what they deserve.

At the same time, of course, we want God’s grace in our lives. How do we pray for both with integrity?

In this episode of Live the Bible, the book of Nahum reminds us that only our wise God knows how to balance both—and to help us do the same.
