Let the Bible Speak UP

Why Grief Is Important

Grief is the part of the process we’d all like to skip over. We can’t, and, believe it or not, God doesn’t expect us to. Grief is just as much part of the process as deliverance, and this is demonstrated repeatedly in the pages of Scripture.

Reframing Our Pain

In the third installment of our Death, Dying, & Suffering series, Brian explores what the Bible says about pain. Once we filter our pain through the lens of faith, what remains is something incredible!

Hope for the Hopeless

In the second installment of our Death, Dying, & Suffering series, Brian explores what to do when it seems there’s no way out of the darkness. Scripture illuminates a path to redemption by showing us what lies beyond the darkness.

Death, Dying, Suffering, & What the Bible Says (Part I)

In this introduction to a new series, Brian shares some of his own story and begins the discussion on a deeply-personal topic all of us must reckon with. Join Brian on a moving exploration through Scripture as he investigates death and suffering from the perspective of faith.

Embodying the Spirit of Motherhood

Many of us have enjoyed the encouragement of our own mothers and have been forever changed by that support. This is what Christians are called to do for others as well. This episode is all about motherhood and what everyone can learn by reflecting on it through a biblical lens.

What Christians Should Know about Gen Z

Thousands of young adults today are on a desperate quest for meaning. The symptoms are obvious: anxiety, loneliness, addiction, suicide—but the root of the problem remains elusive for many. The problem is simple: they don’t believe their lives make any difference. Worse still is that many are surrounded by grown adults who believe the same, or at least communicate as much. The church should look to build up the younger generation and point them in the direction of hope, not tear it down. When properly empowered, Gen Z can be a force for enormous good!

The Old Law

Christians are frequently accused of picking and choosing verses to follow and ignore. Sometimes, these accusations are valid, although many of them are rooted in a misunderstanding of the Old Testament. In this episode, we’ll explore the role of Mosaic Law in New-Testament Christianity.

Mary, Did You Know?

According to Matthew and Luke’s accounts, Mary clearly knows something of Jesus’ lasting significance to the world. Could she, though, have truly imagined the magnitude of the effect the cross and empty tomb would have on humanity? Probably not. Enjoy this special Easter episode!

Judas Iscariot

Even those who are not Christian likely know the name Judas Iscariot. His name has become synonymous with betrayal, a vicious sin not quickly forgotten. Why did he do it? In this episode, we’ll explore Judas’ motives and learn something surprising about ourselves along the way.

The Reality of Inequality

Our society is acutely aware of the natural disparities that exist in life. We are born into and exist within a wide variety of circumstances. Our character, though, is not determined by the hand we’re dealt, but by how we play it. We learn something about this in an unexpected place, the “Parable of the Talents”.
