Let the Bible Speak UP

Patience Is a Virtue

In such a fast-paced, high-pressure society, it’s very difficult to be patient. Nevertheless, patience is a critical quality God calls His people to exhibit as evidence of God’s power and presence. In this episode, Brian reflects on the necessity for and path to greater patience.

Peace, Perfect Peace?

Peace is the centerpiece of the biblical message. The Old Testament, New Testament—the entire Gospel is all about achieving peace for God’s creation. Listen to learn how you can attain it. This episode continues Brian’s series on the fruits of the Spirit.

The Joy of the Lord

Happiness plays a massive role in modern society. Many, even if they never verbalize it, have made happiness (or rather, the pursuit of it) the center of their livelihood. Happiness though often proves elusive and is not, surprisingly, at the center of the Gospel. A more worthwhile pursuit is joy, the product of encountering the Gospel.

Spiritual Fruit, Love, & Neighborliness

Brian kicks off his series on spiritual fruitfulness by talking about love, perhaps the most important yet perplexing characteristics of God. Love is not just something Christians associate with God’s character, though—it is a lifestyle we are all called to emulate as people created in His image!

Growing in God

This episode is the introduction to a multi-week series Brian will lead on spiritual fruitfulness. Anyone can say they are a Christian, but genuine faith is marked by observable behavioral changes. This series is not intended to be a platform on which to stand and ridicule others, but rather a mirror, that we might introspectively consider how Jesus has (or hasn’t) changed us.

Faith & Politics

The precise role of politics within Christianity has been debated since the church’s inception. Believe it or not, this is not a topic Scripture shies away from. In this episode, Alex and Brian discuss the Bible’s stance on the issue. Hopefully, this study will allow Christians to approach Election Day with both faith and peace!

The Parable of the Sower

In this episode, Alex takes a critical look at Jesus’ famous “Parable of the Sower”. There’s an important, timeless message here for Christians and non-Christians alike!

Who Is My Brother?

Since the inception of the church nearly 2,000 years ago, church leaders have tried to draw the boundary lines of the church. How far off in your understanding or practice can you be before you aren’t considered Christian anymore? In this episode, we address these difficult questions as faithfully as possible.

What Does a Christian Look Like?

If you were faced with a lineup of 12 men you don’t know, could you point out which of them are Christians and which aren’t? Probably not, although we often act as if we could. In this episode, Alex investigates Matthew’s calling and discusses what this reveals about Christian fellowship.

The Infinite Value of Your Presence

Where you are matters almost as much as what you do and what you say. The Bible shows us this is true time and time again. Listen to learn more!
