Mark: Chapter 205 oct. 202601:00:25

Jesus did not come to make religion more manageable. He came to make all things new.

In Mark 2, He forgives sins, calls the rejected, eats with sinners, confronts religious pride, and declares Himself Lord even over the Sabbath. The message is clear: "the new covenant will not be contained if it is poured into an old religious heart."

Religion asks, "Did you follow the rules?"
Jesus asks, "Do I have your heart?"

New wine requires new wineskins.

Mark: Chapter 128 sept. 202601:12:41

In this episode of Unskripted, we begin a journey through the Gospel of Mark, exploring the man behind the story, the world in which he wrote, and the explosive opening chapter that introduces Jesus with urgency, authority, compassion, and power. From the wilderness and temptation to demons, healing, leprosy, and the call to follow, Mark wastes no time confronting us with a question that still matters today: Who is Jesus and what changes when we truly recognize Him?

Along the way, we wrestle with the supernatural worldview of Scripture, suffering and the goodness of God, dying to self, spiritual authority, and why studying the Bible in context can uncover treasures we may have read past a hundred times.

This isn't just a study of Mark. It's an invitation to slow down, look closer, ask harder questions, and encounter the living story behind the words.

Anniversary Episode22 sept. 202600:54:58

One year in, the Unskripted crew looks back on what God has done not just through the podcast, but in them.

What began as a handful of friends wrestling honestly with Scripture has become a journey of community, accountability, changed perspectives, and a deeper knowledge of Jesus. In this anniversary episode, the conversation moves from remembering the early days to confronting the question: Have we confused the organization of Christianity with the life Jesus actually called us to live?

Together, the group wrestles with reputation, religious expectations, judgment, church culture, grace, and what it means to follow the example of Christ among imperfect people. What happens when relationship replaces religion? When knowing Jesus matters more than appearing righteous? And when the Church begins to look less like an institution and more like a living body?

Through laughter, vulnerability, challenge, and gratitude, this episode celebrates a year of discovering that following Jesus is not about having everything figured out. It is about knowing Him, walking together, asking better questions, and trusting the faithfulness of God along the way.

Jesus in Psalms01 sept. 202601:08:34

What if the Psalms are more than a collection of ancient prayers, songs, and poetry? What if, taken together, they tell the story of a King who suffers, saves, judges, restores, and ultimately reigns?

In this episode , the conversation moves beyond reading individual Psalms in isolation and begins looking at the Psalter as a unified witness to God's redemptive plan. From David's deeply personal prayers of repentance and deliverance to royal and prophetic Psalms that anticipate the Messiah, the episode explores how the human experiences of fear, failure, worship, injustice, and hope continually point beyond themselves to Jesus.

Along the way, we return to a simple lens for reading Scripture: love God first and love your neighbor as yourself. Through Psalms 40, 82, 91, 103, and others, they ask two questions: Where is the two most important commands being revealed here, and where do we see Jesus? The result is an invitation to rediscover the Psalms not simply as poetry to admire, but as testimony, prophecy, prayer, and a story of redemption that ultimately leads to Christ.

The Covenant Series: The Wedding Feast25 août 202601:04:51

In the final episode of The Covenant series, we turn to the marriage supper of the Lamb and discover that the feast is about far more than a future celebration. It is the culmination of a covenant: deliverance, rest, restoration, and finally, unhindered union with God. From Isaiah's promised feast for all peoples to Jesus' parable of the great banquet and Revelation's Bride who has made herself ready, Scripture tells a story of a Bridegroom who is coming back for His Bride.
But the invitation carries a question: What does it mean to be ready?

This conversation challenges us to examine the difference between simply belonging to the religion of Christianity and actually living as the body and Bride of Christ; loving God, loving people, dying to self, resisting the idol of comfort, and allowing our lives to bear the fruit of the One whose name we carry. The table is being prepared. The invitation is open. And perhaps the most important question is not whether we know about the feast, but whether our lives reveal that we are waiting for the Bridegroom.

Study Questions
  1. When you think about your relationship with Jesus, do you think primarily in terms of religion or covenant? How would viewing Him as Bridegroom change the way you relate to Him?
  2. Revelation says that "the bride has made herself ready." What does readiness look like practically in your life right now?
  3. The episode describes the biblical feast with two major ideas: deliverance and rest. Where do you currently need to trust God for deliverance? Where do you need to learn to rest in Him?
  4. In Luke 14, people who had been invited to the banquet began making excuses. What good things, responsibilities, comforts, or preferences could become excuses that keep you from responding fully to God?
  5. Revelation 19 connects the Bride's fine linen with the righteous deeds of the saints. What is your life currently "sewing into the garment"? What fruit is becoming visible because of what Christ is doing within you?
  6. John the Baptist said, "He must increase, but I must decrease." What is one area where "self" needs to become smaller so Christ can become more visible?
  7. The episode distinguishes between the organization of church and the organism the living body of Christ. Are you primarily participating in Christian activity, or actively living as part of Christ's body in the world?
  8. How much of your time, money, energy, eating, entertainment, schedule, and decision-making is shaped by comfort and preference? Is there an area where comfort may have quietly become an idol?
  9. Paul describes building a life with either gold, silver, and precious stones or wood, hay, and straw. What are you building right now that will matter eternally?
  10. Jesus' banquet servant was told to go into the streets and bring others to the table. Who is your one? Who in your life needs to know that they have been invited?
The Covenant Series: The Bride17 août 202601:03:40

What does it actually mean to live as the Bride of Christ while we wait for the Bridegroom?

In Part Two of The Covenant, Jimmy Farrell, Carla Googe, and Ken Land explore the difference between approaching Jesus through a contract and living with Him in covenant. Through Scripture, ancient wedding imagery, and honest conversation, they consider what it means for the Bride to remain faithful, prepare herself, and eagerly anticipate Christ's return.

From Hosea and the ten virgins to wedding garments, sanctification, and the Bridegroom's promise to return, this episode reframes obedience as something deeper than fear or religious performance. It is the response of a people who are learning to trust the One who loved them first.

And for those whose experience of marriage, covenant, or authority has been painful, the conversation points back to Jesus, the Bridegroom who does not coerce His Bride, but gives Himself for her.

The Bridegroom is preparing a place while the Bride is being prepared and the story is moving toward a wedding feast.

Study Questions

1. Covenant or contract?
Are there places in your relationship with God where you have quietly begun thinking in "if/then" terms...

If I pray enough, serve enough, give enough, or obey enough, then God should give me what I want? What might change if the relationship itself became the reward?

2. What is being prepared in you?
What habit, identity, dependency, fear, coping mechanism, or attachment might the Lord currently be asking you to surrender? Instead of seeing that process only as something being taken away, what would it look like to view it as part of your preparation (your "beautification") as the Bride of Christ?

3. Are you waiting and listening?
John the Baptist describes himself as waiting and listening for the Bridegroom's voice. What practices help you become quiet enough to recognize the voice and presence of Jesus in everyday life?

4. How do you imagine Christ's return?
When you think about Jesus returning, is your first response fear, indifference, curiosity, or joy? What has shaped that reaction, and how might the biblical image of a Bride anticipating her Bridegroom reshape it?

The Covenant Series: Bridegroom06 août 202601:12:57
Episode Description

Scripture begins with a marriage and it ends with one.

In Part 1 of The Covenant, the Unskripted crew explores one of Scripture's most enduring pictures of God's relationship with His people: the Bridegroom and His Bride.

What does it mean that Yahweh calls Himself a husband, Jesus identifies Himself as the Bridegroom, and Revelation ends with the marriage supper of the Lamb?

Through the framework of ancient marriage customs, the conversation explores covenant versus contract, the arranged match, the bride price, and the beginning of betrothal. At the center is a simple but powerful truth: our covenant with God rests not upon our ability to earn His love, but upon the character of the Bridegroom who chose us and paid the price for His Bride.

Modern relationships are often understood transactionally: I fulfill my obligations, you fulfill yours.

Biblical covenant reaches deeper.

The episode asks what changes when believers stop approaching God through performance and begin understanding their relationship with Him through covenant, faithfulness, intimacy, and love.

Luke 10:38–42 — Mary and Martha; Mary chooses to remain at Jesus' feet.

Ask Yourself

What does covenant require that a contract does not?

What has the Bridegroom's sacrifice taught me about how He values His Bride?

Am I trying to perform for Jesus or actually know Him?

What areas of my life have I kept closed to the Bridegroom?

If He came today, would my first response be, "I'm so glad You're here"?

Coming Up...

The Bride in Waiting

What happens between betrothal and the wedding?

Part 2 explores waiting, consecration, faithfulness, spiritual infidelity, and the relentless covenant love of a Bridegroom who continues pursuing His Bride.

The Plumb Line14 juil. 202600:54:08

What happens when God measures His people against His own standard?

In this episode of Unskripted, we take a look at the book of Amos, exploring one of Scripture's most sobering prophetic images, the plumb line.

Was God's judgment against Israel arbitrary, or was it the inevitable consequence of generations of injustice, idolatry, and spiritual compromise?

Together we examine the historical setting of Jeroboam II's prosperous kingdom, Amos' unlikely calling as a shepherd from Judah, and the covenant warnings God had already given through Moses centuries earlier. Along the way they discuss how prosperity can conceal spiritual decay, why God continually warns before He judges, and how His desire has always been repentance rather than destruction.

More than an ancient prophecy, Amos confronts every generation with the same question:

What happens when our lives are measured against the plumb line?

Hey, Jude: 323 juin 202600:46:47
Hey, Jude: Part 3

In the conclusion of our journey through the book of Jude, we move from identifying the problem to embracing the solution.

After examining the patterns of rebellion, false teachers, and spiritual compromise in the first two installments, this episode focuses on Jude's pastoral call to perseverance. What does it mean to live faithfully in the "last days"? How do believers respond to scoffers, division, and deception without losing sight of the love and mercy of Christ?

The conversation explores Jude's exhortation to build ourselves up in the faith through Scripture, prayer, and Christian community; to pray in the Spirit; to remain rooted in God's love; and to extend mercy to those who doubt. Along the way, the hosts discuss discernment, spiritual gifts, church unity, and practical ways Christians can recognize manipulation and faulty reasoning in both religious and cultural conversations.

The series concludes with one of the most beautiful doxologies in Scripture; a reminder that our ultimate hope is not in our ability to persevere, but in the God who is able to keep us from stumbling and present us blameless before His presence with great joy.

Whether you're wrestling with questions, seeking deeper faith, or learning how to navigate truth in a world full of competing voices, Jude's final words remain as relevant today as they were in the first century.

"To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling... be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen."

Hey, Jude: 213 juin 202601:08:47

What if the greatest threats to the church aren't outside its walls, but sitting at the table?

In this episode, we continue our journey through the book of Jude and examine one of the New Testament's strongest warnings against false teachers. Jude moves from ancient patterns of rebellion to specific archetypes of rebellion: Cain, Balaam, and Korah. Along the way, we explore why Michael the archangel becomes an example of humility under authority, how greed and self-exaltation corrupt spiritual leadership, and why Jude describes false teachers as hidden reefs waiting to shipwreck unsuspecting believers.

From the Assumption of Moses to the prophecy of Enoch, we uncover the Jewish context behind Jude's warnings and ask a sobering question: Are the same patterns still present in the church today?

If Jude is right, the danger isn't merely bad doctrine, it's a heart that rejects God's authority while claiming to speak for Him.

The Assumption of Moses

"When Moses died on the mountain, the archangel Michael was sent to transfer the body. 

ii. Therefore the devil opposed, wishing to deceive, saying: 

(a) "The body is mine, as master of matter." But the archangel, arguing with the devil, said: "May the Lord rebuke you; for from His Holy Spirit all were created, and from the face of God came forth His spirit, and the world came into being." 

(b) Then the devil brought accusation because of the killing of the Egyptian, saying: Moses is a murderer; therefore it is not allowed for him to receive the lawful burial. 

iii. Then the archangel Michael, talking with the devil, said: "You inspired the serpent so as to become the cause of the transgression of Adam and Eve." 

iv. And Joshua, son of Nun, saw Moses being taken up in a twofold manner, one with angels, the other being deemed worthy of burial on the mountains near the valleys. Joshua saw this vision, lifted in spirit along with Caleb."

Hey, Jude: 105 juin 202601:11:04

What if the church's greatest threat isn't outside the church?

Jude didn't write to unbelievers, he wrote to believers already being deceived. In Part 1 of Hey Jude, we dive into one of the Bible's most controversial passages: rebellious angels, Genesis 6, the Watchers, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the generation God rescued only to later judge. Why does Jude connect all of these stories? And what does it mean for Christians who assume grace removes the danger of rebellion?

If you've ever wondered why Jude sounds more like an alarm siren than a pastoral letter, this episode is for you. The warning is ancient. The implications are current. And the stakes couldn't be higher.

In this opening installment of the "Hey Jude" series, the we examine the first seven verses of the book of Jude and frame the letter as a warning against deception, rebellion, and false teaching within the church.

The discussion begins by establishing Jude's unique position as the brother of Jesus and a leader in the early church. Jude's letter is brief but densely packed with theological significance, requiring familiarity with the Old Testament and Second Temple Jewish thought to fully appreciate its message.

A major theme throughout this episode is remembering God's past judgments as a warning for present faithfulness. 

The episode concludes with an exhortation for Christians to contend for the faith, study Scripture carefully, and remain vigilant against deception in an age increasingly marked by confusion and compromise.

Binding and Loosing04 juin 202601:09:15

What did Jesus really mean when He gave Peter the "keys of the kingdom"?

For many Christians, "binding and loosing" has become a language of spiritual power, authority, and declaring outcomes. But is that what Jesus had in mind?

In this episode, we trace the biblical story from Babel to the Great Commission, exploring how the keys of the kingdom, the authority to bind and loose, and the confession that Jesus is the Messiah all fit within God's plan to reclaim the nations. Along the way, we challenge popular assumptions about spiritual authority and ask a difficult question:

Are we advancing God's kingdom, or trying to get God to advance ours?

Join us as we examine Matthew 16, Acts 15, and the broader biblical narrative to discover why true authority begins not with power, but with surrender.

Self Righteousness27 avr. 202601:00:37

In this episode, we discuss the subtle danger of self-righteousness: the way we can become experts at justifying ourselves, measuring ourselves against others, and using our own moral instincts as proof that we are right with God. Luke 10:29 provides the core tension: "But he, desiring to justify himself…" That phrase exposes the human instinct to protect our image, defend our standing, and shift the focus away from the condition of the heart.
The episode explores how self-righteousness is not always loud, harsh, or obviously religious. Sometimes it shows up as comparison, defensiveness, moral certainty, or the need to be seen as the "good one." It can appear in people who know the language of faith well, yet still struggle to receive grace because they are busy constructing a case for themselves.
At the center of the discussion is the contrast between self-justification and Christ-centered humility. Rather than standing over others in judgment, the gospel invites us to stand before God honestly, without excuses, and without the illusion that our performance can save us. Luke 10:29 becomes a mirror: when we try to define "neighbor," control the moral terms, or narrow the demands of love, we reveal how often the heart wants mercy for itself but distance from others.

This episode calls listeners to examine where self-righteousness hides in ordinary life: in arguments, in religious habits, in our responses to correction, and even in the stories we tell ourselves about why we are better, wiser, or more faithful than others. The answer is not self-hatred, but surrender. Letting the Lord expose our pride so that grace can reshape our instincts, our relationships, and our understanding of righteousness.

Scripture Anchor
Luke 10:29 


Episode Takeaway
Self-righteousness is often less about being openly sinful and more about refusing honest dependence on grace. The good news is that Jesus does not merely expose that impulse; He offers a better righteousness altogether.

FEAR09 avr. 202601:07:02

Flipping Tables31 mars 202601:03:14

This week we talk about the breeding grounds for idolatry in our world today. In the first century BC the Roman coin entered Israel as a symbol of the incoming empire. The coin became a part of the Israelites every day life as it was used to buy food, pay taxes, and conduct daily life. Most followers of the Torah would have been outraged, or at a minimum turned off by the coin with a graven image of a man worshipped in god-like fashion. Jesus recognized this symbol as the idol it had become to the rulers of Rome and the surrounding areas in the 1st century AD. He didn't flip the tables and clean the temple because a man was selling items to feed his family. He flipped the tables because the house of God the Father had become an altar during the holy passover week in Jerusalem. His righteous indignation poured out in the Temple because the greatest Law was being replaced by secular and unholy priorities. "Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.'"
Join us as we read Matthew's account of this part of the Holy Week. Jesus has entered Jerusalem on a young colt fulfilling Zechariah 9:9. Shortly after this event, recorded in Matthew chapter 21 we see Jesus face off with the idolatry that has crept into the Temple as he cleanses the temple. We dig into his warning to the disciples that in the end of the age "because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm til the end will be saved."This scripture tells us to endure. When there is wickedness all around, and hard hearts shelter the love that has turned cold for our brothers and sisters, we must stand firm. We are called to choose the greatest and second greatest commandment and to stand firm in a faith that bears fruit of love, joy, peace, patience... 
We hope that you will listen to and gain revelation through this episode with us.

The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will...09 déc. 202501:39:22

Thank you for listening in this week!

We dig into Scripture this week and uncover what "knowing the Truth" actually means and how spiritual freedom is born. 

Lies are to be dismantled by believers, using the Truth of God's Word to do so. Whether they exist internally or as a part of a larger system where we are called to be the light. There is a process and the truth is, it's no walk in the park.

How can we have joy in the midst of life's storms, or learning the truth about lies that we have believed for years? How do we see these imperfect systems and still trust the God is in control? 

We LOVE you and are here for you via email or social media. So if you need a few peculiar friends, we got you covered!

Spiritual Warfare: The Battlefield of You pt 209 nov. 202501:18:56

What if you walked around with shoes made of Resurrection Power? You would likely be ready to share as much of Jesus as possible at all times! What about going through each day with a shield of unshakable faith that disabled every attack form the enemy and caused every fiery arrow that came your way to bounce off of you?

The truth and answers are inside the Word of The Living God. Inside this episode we walk through the truth about the Gospel of Peace and the shield of Faith. We hope it encourages and empowers you in your faith. Our goal is to share the good news and reality about the spiritual warfare that we face during our time on this earth. 

Jesus is victorious, y'all. 

He has every enemy, every power, every principality, and every ruler under his feet.

Spiritual Warfare: The Battlefield of You pt 131 oct. 202501:29:41
This week we dive into Paul's letter to the Ephesians! 

Paul was a master at marrying the spiritual realm and the Law. He was a master psychologist and has articulated exactly how spiritual warfare is executed in many of his letters. This week we look into Ephesians 6. We will cover a series on spiritual warfare starting with the battlefield of YOU and how the belt of truth and the breastplate of rightesousness is applicable! 

We will continue to dig into the text next week as we look at the rest of the armor of God.

Invaluable Invitation17 oct. 202501:07:47

There is no better seat than the ones at the table with Jesus. We have endless invitations in our posession. What keeps us from giving them to people? Especially those we love? In this episode we discuss the impact of our words and time on the Great Comission. We look at barriers and roadblocks to spreading the love of Jesus, and we go down a couple of conversational side roads along the way. Hang in there for the plane landing at the end. It's a little rough.

What God Wants: Obedience10 oct. 202501:12:02

***Scroll down for ALL references this episode and the Music of the Week***

Rebellion is the enemy of obedience and God's perfect will. It's also "as the sin of witchcraft" according to the Prophet Samuel. This episode we dig into how rebellion has been romanticized by the enemies of Yahweh. We discuss how obedience is no more than agreeing to God's best for His kingdom and then acting upon that agreement. Oh, and JIMMY IS BACK! and ebola free! Hallelujah.

What God Wants: Our Trust03 oct. 202501:12:56

The official "get well Jimmy episode"

He is fine, and ebola free!

This week we talk about giving back to God what is already his by living like Jesus. Just as simple as that.

Right?

The truth is that we don't alwyays have great relationship skills where we easily trust God with "our stuff" because the world is and always has been full of sin and iniquity. It's easier to say that we trust our perfect Heavenly Father than to practice what we preach sometimes. He knows our earthly families are not perfect. He knows that we often see Him through the lens that we have in view. This week we talk about the ways he gives us grace through fears and failures. We have new mercies every morning. 

Grab a cup of coffee or settle in on your drive to work with us as we dig into one of the most foundational pieces of having a relationship with our Heavenly Father. 

As always, send in your questions, concerns, thoughts to flatwoodsmission@gmail.com

God bless you!

There are lots of pearls in this episode. From trying to decipher the times and how to deal with the next season, to living in the moments as they come while remaining selfless, you're destined to find one of those pearls in this episode.

From Genesis to Revelation we see countless examples of people who simply couldn't wait. In this episode we dive into the Word and sift through these examples. Mixing that with real life examples brings the Word to life in a real, authentic way.
