Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we answer two foundational questions for believers and non-believers alike: What is the gospel—and who is Jesus? Using Mark 1 as our starting point, we unpack how Jesus preached the Kingdom of God and why the gospel is an announcement of good news, not good advice. 

In this episode we talk about:
• What Jesus meant by “the time has come” and “the Kingdom of God is at hand”
• Why the gospel is good news (an announcement), not good advice (self-help)
• The difference between a geocentric faith and a Christ-centered worldview• Why Jesus’ main message was the Kingdom of God—not just moral behavior
• What repentance and belief actually mean: changing your mind, changing direction, returning home
• How Jesus demonstrates the Kingdom through healing, deliverance, forgiveness, and restoration
• Why the cross matters: sin, death, and the devil defeated through Jesus
• What the resurrection means: the beginning of new creation
• What it means to pray “Your Kingdom come” and live as Kingdom participants today
• How the Holy Spirit transforms us over time and shapes discipleship in real life

Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we unpack why the Mary & Martha story is not a message to stop doing life — it’s an invitation to reorder your attention and learn to follow Jesus in the ordinary. We walk through Luke 10 in full context (the 72, the Good Samaritan, then Mary & Martha), and connect it to Mark 4 and the “worries of this life” that choke the Word.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why Luke 10 is a discipleship chapter (not a single isolated moment)
• The difference between doing life for Jesus vs. with Jesus
• What “distraction” really means in the Mary & Martha passage
• Why attention shapes desire, and desire shapes behavior
• Practical discipleship: habits, community, and training over time
• How God forms us in everyday moments (work, family, emotions)
• Phone addiction + micro-habits that create macro impact

How do we approach Scripture in a way that truly shapes our lives?

In this episode, we explore how to read the Bible as disciples of Jesus — not just for information, but for transformation. Walking through Matthew 4 and Romans 12, we examine how Jesus used Scripture in temptation, how God renews our minds through His Word, and what it means to let the Bible form us against the pressures of culture.

In this episode, we talk about:
• How to approach Scripture as a disciple, not just a reader
• Why culture forms us — and how God’s Word counter-forms us
• Romans 12 and renewing the mind
• How Jesus models Scripture in Matthew 4
• Reading, meditating, memorizing, and praying the Bible
• Letting God’s Word shape character and habits
• Growing in spiritual understanding through Scripture
• Simple tools for studying the Bible well
• How Jesus helped His disciples understand Scripture

How do we actually learn to pray?

In this episode, we explore Jesus’ model of prayer, the Lord’s Prayer, and what it means to approach God as Father. We discuss slowing down in a distracted world, walking through suffering, and letting prayer reshape how we see God and live as disciples.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Jesus’ teaching on prayer
• God as Father and intimacy with Him
• Creating space for daily prayer
• Suffering and unanswered prayer
• Living out God’s kingdom

In this episode, we talk about why following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. Looking at the life of Jesus, the early church, and the pattern of discipleship throughout Scripture, we explore how spiritual formation happens through commitment to community and participation in the local church.

In this episode we talk about:
• Why discipleship is formed in community, not isolation
• The example of Jesus’ life shared with others
• Acts 2 and the practices of the early church
• Consumer Christianity vs committed discipleship
• How accountability and spiritual authority shape growth

What does it look like to actually live a Spirit-filled life? Not the theory — the practice. This episode walks through the biblical case for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, answers whether it is a one-time or ongoing experience, and gets practical about how ordinary believers grow in the presence and power of God.

In this episode:
• Every gospel writer frames Jesus as the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit — what that actually means
• Power and authority are different things — and Jesus gives believers both
• What Paul means when he says do not grieve the Holy Spirit — and the lists he puts around it
• Why bitterness, gossip, and unforgiveness are the exact things that block more of God
• Three prayers that will change how you do ministry

A bathroom in Tampa. A kitchen at golden hour. A church in Northern Ireland where a pastor had to be carried to his car. This episode opens a brand new series on the Holy Spirit with three real stories of first encounters — and builds the case that there is more available to every believer who is willing to ask for it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What revival actually looks like — and why it is already happening in Southern California and beyond
• You can have as much of God as you want — A.W. Tozer on why hunger is the key
• Ally's story: from empty and going viral to a Bible in Barnes and Noble and a life completely changed
• Angela's first encounter with the Holy Spirit — alone, in someone else's bathroom, listening to a sermon
• Darren's encounter in London that launched a church and changed how he understood the gifts of the Spirit
• What to do if you have never had an experience like this and feel shame about it
• Why word and Spirit have to go together — lessons from the Jesus Movement

• Dallas Willard on transformation: how thoughts, community, and habits work together
• How to beat the enemy when you are under attack — shut the door of compromise first
• Behind every sin is a God-given desire going to the wrong source — what that means for lust and pride
• Generational curses: what they are, how to break them, and what you can and cannot do for your family
• Is it spiritual warfare or is God closing a door? How to discern the difference
• Why you should not perform deliverance on someone if you have not been trained

Most spiritual warfare does not show up as something dark and obvious — it shows up as pressure, confusion, broken patterns, and eroded joy. This episode names the three battlefields every disciple is navigating — the world, the flesh, and the devil — and gets practical about how to fight each one well.

In this episode:
• The three battlefields: the world, the flesh, and the devil — and what each one actually looks like
• Satan's primary weapon is not power — it is distortion of truth
• You cannot cast out flesh — you crucify it, and here is what that means practically
• Why consumerism applied to the local church is a demonic strategy
• Three models of deliverance ministry
• Not everything is demonic. Some things just require repentance.
