In almost every nativity scene out there, we see three wise men in robes holding gifts for Jesus...but who are they? Were they really there the night Jesus was born? Where did they come from?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of the magi, where we see them mentioned in Scripture, where they came from, and how they knew to come and see the Messiah. We look at the timeline of when they would have arrived and how it pushes back on what most modern day nativity scenes seem to infer. Our hope is that as you listen, you are encouraged to see men of great faith giving up a lot to travel to see the Messiah and have a more full picture of the Christmas story!

In vitro fertilization is a fairly common procedure done to treat infertility and produce children...but should Christians consider it? Are there ethical issues with creating children in a Petri dish?

After Judas was nixed, we know another apostle was added...but who was it: Matthias or Paul? 

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through arguments for Matthias and for Paul as the 12th apostle cited in Revelation as judging over the 12 tribes of Israel in the New Jerusalem. We look at various Scriptures and arguments for each man and come to a couple different conclusions. We hope you enjoy a little debate!

Nimrod is a little mentioned man in the Bible, yet when digging through history, we find that he may have had a huge impact on many biblical events. Was he a good or evil man? Why does it matter?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of Nimrod in the Bible, how he likely wasn't a good "mighty hunter," and a deep dive into outside sources that may link him with other notable people throughout history, including his involvement in the Tower of Babel, the creation of Baal, and the rise of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. Check out this episode for some interesting notes on a rarely talked about, yet pretty important man in the Bible.

There is rejoicing in heaven when a sinner is saved, but are they aware of other earthly events? Do passed loved ones look over us while we are on Earth? Do they hear us when we talk at their gravesite?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question regarding how involved people who are in heaven are in things happening on Earth. We look through examples of talking to the dead being condemned, while also finding one example in Scripture of a couple of people coming back from heaven very aware of what is happening on Earth. We hope this episode helps inform you of a rather challenging question and furthers you desire to know the Lord.

We are told to love our enemies, but also pursue justice for those who do wrong. How do we balance those two things that seem so opposed to one another?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question from 2 Thessalonians about the biblical mandate to love our enemies, how God is the true bringer of justice, and how to seek earthly justice while still praying for souls to repent and be saved. We hope this gives you a biblical picture of how to better views those who oppose you and your beliefs and see them the way Jesus does.

It's almost election time...who are you going to vote for? Better question: Who SHOULD you vote for?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the two different primary presidental candidates and their corresponding platforms to give a biblical take on who a Christian should be voting for on November 4th. We know that politics and religion can get very controversial, but our hope is that the information in this episode is helpful to inform you of what each platform stands for and whether or not it jives with God and His Word.

Really? Every animal in the world on one big boat? How did they fit and how did he chase them all down? How did he get across the ocean?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through another common question that arises from the narrative of Genesis to discuss how Noah could have fit all the animals onto the ark. We look at arguments from skeptics and address them with Scripture and scientific research in the realm of genetics to give answers that make sense. We hope that as you listen, you can shift your view of the story of the Ark away from a kids fairy tale to a supernatural and true event that did indeed take place.

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through another common question that arises from the narrative of Genesis to discuss how the sons of Adam got their wives. We look through how God ordained marriage between siblings and how that changed by the time of the Law of Moses, as well as some biological evidence of why God outlaws incest today.

It's easy to admit we need God when our life is in shambles, but what about when things are going really well? We know we "need" God, but how do we do that when it doesn't feel like we do?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question on this week's podcast around the topic of what it means to need God when things are going well in our lives.

Do we have a right to be offended? Should we be outraged when God is mocked?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through how Christians should respond to sin being paraded around publicly (such as the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics). We look at how Jesus responded to personal attacks and how God deals with mockery to get a biblical framework for how we ought to respond when we've been wronged or witnessed our belief in God being mocked or criticized.

What the heck is this place and why does it matter? Is it just another name for hell? Did Jesus descend to hell after He died?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at where people went after death before Jesus died on the cross. We look at Sheol and Hades and compare the two, as well as debunking myths about what Jesus did after dying on the cross. Our hope is that this episode will give you a clear understanding of what Sheol is when you come across the word in the Bible and why it is important to Jesus' death and resurrection.

Every church in America has encouraged its members to join a small group. Many churches even help in the process, but are small groups even necessary? How should they be done to be beneficial and sustainable?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and guest host Jordan Rossler talk through the importance of meeting with other believers by diving into Scripture and allowing the Word to set the framework for biblical small groups. From there, we talk through 7 different things to consider when starting a small group (or igniting one you are currently in) to give it the best chance to do what it was created for. We hope that you are encouraged in listening to this episode and even if you don't agree with all of our personal beliefs, that you would consider the importance of meeting together intimately with other believers.

With obesity at an all-time high, is it something that is actually a sin issue? What role does our physical well-being play in godliness?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through obesity and whether or not it is a sin issue. We talk through this nuanced topic and provide some Scripture that targets some of the root causes of being overweight and help decipher what is and what isn't a sin when it comes to obesity. We hope that this episode will make you stop and think about your own journey with weight loss/gain and view it through the lens of Scripture!

With the recent Trump assassination attempt, we saw video of women in the Secret Service who were willing to take a bullet for the former President. It got people talking about women being in any kind of combat role at all. Should they be?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the idea of women fighting in combat. We look at the history of this idea in America (its much newer than you might think) and how God prescribed His army to look in the Old Testament. We look at a few examples like Deborah and Jael to determine if God's design for women is to be in combat. To be clear, we do make a big distinction between being military/police and specifically being on the front lines. We hope this episode helps frame your worldview from a biblical stance!

A phrase that has all sorts of definitions, what the heck is Christian Nationalism? Is it okay to love God and country? Where is the line? Should Christians advocate the fusing of nation and religion?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the idea of Christian Nationalism. In the season of Independence Day and a big upcoming Presidential election, the idea of Christian Nationalism is pretty charged up. We dive into defining the term, seeing what the Scriptures say about nationalism and government, and how God would have us live this out in a different political system than the early Christians had. We hope that this episode is helpful in your understanding and gives you a more clear perspective of the relationship of Christianity and America.

Paul says it is a "gift" to be single...but does it really feel that way? Does God actually call people to singleness? What do you do if you are single but still have a strong desire to get married?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the concept of singleness. In American churches today, it can seem like many ministries are geared towards couples and families, but what is the role of a Christian who is single? Better yet, what is the role of a Christian who is CALLED to be single, at least for a season? We dig through Scripture to find examples of godly people who were called to singleness and what that can look like in our world today. We also look at how single people who still desire to get married should approach relationships and the kingdom of God.

With Father's Day just passing us by, we hope to help you appreciate all the fathers out there! In a culture with rampant fatherlessness (and many statistics that show the tragic impact), its important that we look at the Bible for how us fathers should be living!

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through what a godly father should look like. We take a look at attributes of our Heavenly Father as well as commands from the Bible about the role of a father. We take a look at some shocking statistics about the role fatherlessness plays in our society today and hope to encourage any fathers or aspiring fathers out there today!

What should life look like if a couple can't have kids? What if they married late or are unable to physically have children? What is their role in the church? Is God punishing them?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question regarding childlessness (or being childfree, depending on perspective). We look through examples in Scripture of couples who were childless and how they handled it, as well as practical things that any couple without children should be doing to fulfill the purpose God has for them, even if it looks a little different than they thought it might. We hope this is an encouragement to anyone who is struggling in this area or seeking to support others to see that God has a role equally as important and valuable regardless of parental status.

We hear so much about Joseph when Jesus is born, but almost nothing throughout the rest of Scripture? What the heck happened to the guy?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question regarding Jesus' earthly father. We look through every Scripture that Joseph is mentioned in to paint a picture of his character and legacy, while also trying to discern why he is never really mentioned during Jesus' public ministry. We hope that this episode helps you better understand what may have happened to Joseph and the kind of man he was.

Does Flat Earth theory have any basis? Is this an example of the Bible and science contradicting? Does the Bible ever explicitly state what shape the Earth is?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question regarding flat earth theory. We look at the history of beliefs on the shape of the Earth as well as some observational evidence presented out there. We then dig through the Scriptures to see what God says about His earth and whether or not this is a situation where the Bible and science contradict.

Do parents idolize their kids in America? How much of a parent’s life should revolve around their child? How should kids treat their parents?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question regarding parent/child relationships. We talk through the roles of each and how they change as people age. We talk through what it means to honor your parents and the role parents have in developing and disciplining their own children. We spend much of the time giving biblical examples of parent/child relationships to look at some positive ones to emulate and some negative ones to avoid.

People love their pets, but do they have the same rights as humans? Should we stand with organizations like PETA for the rights of animals? 

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the topic of animals rights in America. We look through Scripture to see how God views animals, how he commands mankind to interact with animals, and how that should impact us today. We talk through the role of hunting and eating meat, while also addressing cruelty to animals and how we ought to respond to that. We hope this is helpful to you, whether you’re an animal lover or not!

Is it sinful to listen to music that isn’t specifically about God? Are certain genres of music more appropriate than others? What exactly is “secular music” anyways?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the topic of music and what kind of content Christians should listen to. We look through the Bible to see a variety of instruments used for all sorts of purposes. We look at the definition of secular music to decipher whether this music is worth listening to or if it should be avoided altogether. Give a listen and we hope this episode is encouraging to you as you wrestle through what kind of music you spend time listening to!

How does a church keep a pastor in check? Is there a correct hierarchy within leadership that all churches should implement? 

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question about hierarchy within the church and across various denominations with the intention of figuring out how best to structure accountability within the church.

What the heck is a millennium and when is it supposed to happen? Will we get a thousand years of peace on Earth, or is it already happening?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question about the Millennium.

Is it disrespectful to God and others to eat or drink in the sanctuary? What about coffee? Water? Should churches have "No food or drink" signs?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question regarding eating and drinking in the sanctuary. We look through what God has to say regarding reverence in worship as well as how the early church handled this issue to see if we can learn how the modern church of America ought to deal with eating in the sanctuary vs. the foyer or fellowship hall. Even though there are many charged opinions on this matter, we hope this episode is helpful for you!

Easter is one of the most popular Christian holidays, but what do we do with all of the cultural elements? Eggs, Easter Bunnies, and candy...should we even partake? What if the origins of Easter are more pagan than we realized?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the origins of Easter and take a look at how Easter became what it is today. We talk through some of the debate among Christians on whether we should even celebrate Easter and to what extent.

What does it mean to "fall in love?" Is that biblical...or even truly possible? What does biblical romance look like?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look at the history of Valentine's Day and how our culture views love vs. what God says about love. We look at Scriptures that help clear up the difference between love and lust, as well as the way any believer ought to approach finding a spouse. Surprisingly, the Bible has plenty to say about romance and there is plenty to learn from God's view of romance!

Immigration laws, borders, Biden vs. Trump...so much controversy over illegal immigration, but where should Christians stand on this issue?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look at how God views immigration, how He tells us to treat immigrants/foreigners, and His expectations for immigrants who came to Israel in Bible times. Although the issue is very charged because it impacts real people, our hope is that you can listen through what the Bible has to say and it would lead you to love others more and find ways to get involved and be productive in bringing God's kingdom to all peoples.

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look to see if there is a biblical precedent for nap taking. We examine Scriptures of various people throughout the Bible who took naps and the results that followed. We look through some famous people throughout history who nap frequently and ultimately give some encouragement (and warnings) related to napping.

Streets of gold with everyone singing all the time? Will we just be floating on clouds all day? What will heaven actually look/be like?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek answer a listener question from an 8 year old about what heaven will be like. We look through the Scriptures to find some physical descriptions of heaven, who will be there, and what we will actually be doing when we get there.

Many of us have heard a story or two of a cancerous tumor miraculously disappearing, leaving medical personnel stunned. We also know of churches that specialize in "faith healing." So what do we make of it all? Is it all actually a miracle from God, or a hoax?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek answer a listener question about miraculous healings and our attitude towards them. Should we respond with skepticism, or is that a lack of faith? Does God still heal us today in miraculous ways? We seek to look through Scripture to build a roadmap of how we ought to approach miracles today to have a proper view that allows us to exalt and glorify God while also not being deceived.

Did God give me a vision?! Was that weird dream last night from God or am I just crazy?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek answer a listener question regarding dreams and visions and whether or not Christians today still get them. How do we know if they are from God or just our mind playing tricks on us? How do we avoid being deceived? These are the questions we are seeking to answer on this podcast and we hope this is helpful for you!

Is December 25, 1 A.D. actually Jesus' birthday? How do we know that for sure? 

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look through biblical clues, as well as historical sources, to determine what year and what day Jesus was born. There is plenty of debate when this actually happened, so we believe it is worth digging into to come up with an answer ourselves. Our hope is that you would be encouraged this Christmas season to remember the birth of Jesus and what He has done for us, regardless of whether He was born on December 25th or not.

Is God trying to tell me something, or is it just coincidence? Are these my own thoughts or God's thoughts? How can we know the difference?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek answer a listener question about how to discern God's voice in our lives from all of the other influences around us. We look through the Scripture to find examples of individuals who were clearly spoken to by God and what we can learn from those, as well as the role of the Holy Spirit within us. Our hope is that as you listen, you will find peace in how to discern how God may be leading you and what He is speaking into your life today.
