What does it truly mean to stand firm and act like a man in today's world?

| Is the Ethiopian Bible More Complete? 81 Books vs. 66 | The Well Podcast SS00E9 | 01 Nov 2026 | 00:50:43 | |
Can you really trust the Bible? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman answer your biggest questions about the reliability of Scripture, the differences between biblical canons, and the controversies around missing or disputed passages. They explain why the Ethiopian Bible includes 81 books while most Protestant Bibles have 66, and respond to claims about the Apocrypha and "banned books." Pastor Phil shares the criteria the early church used to recognize the canon of Scripture, and why he believes "cut-and-paste theology" undermines the authority of the Bible. Listeners will also learn how to study Scripture in context and compare Scripture with Scripture. This episode will encourage you to discern truth and grow in confidence that God has preserved His Word for every generation.

How does faith come alive when you stand where Scripture happened? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman take you through Israel and the Holy Land, showing how biblical truth is rooted in real history and biblical archaeology.

| Why Did God Allow the Serpent? Adam, Free Will, and Spiritual Leadership | The Well Podcast S12E01 | 11 Oct 2026 | 00:39:16 | |
Why did God allow the serpent in the garden, and what does Adam's story teach men about spiritual leadership? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman explore Genesis 3 and the cost of "quiet failure," when men shrink back from leading and their families feel the impact for generations. Pastor Phil explains the difference between condemnation and conviction, why past mistakes don't have to define your future, and how God's design for free will, love, and grace points to Jesus, the "Second Adam." This episode encourages men to reject passivity, lead courageously, and walk confidently in God's grace, whatever their past.

| What Happens When We Don’t Let God Reset Us? (Nehemiah 8) | The Well Podcast S10E03 | 16 Aug 2026 | 00:51:40 | |
How do we let God reset the dislocated parts of our lives — and what happens when we don't? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Chad Glover and host Les Norman dive into Nehemiah 8 to explore internal dislocation and the joy of restoration. Pastor Chad shares how preaching and biblical community work together to reveal and heal our "dislocations," and why responding to Scripture with awe and obedience matters more than surface-level application.

| Does Prayer Actually Change Anything? | The Well Podcast S10E02 | 09 Aug 2026 | 00:31:44 | |
If God is sovereign and already in control of everything, why bother to pray? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman explore the difference between God's foreknowledge and predestination, using the examples of Hezekiah and Nehemiah to show why prayer remains powerful and necessary. You'll see how personal decisions can genuinely change outcomes, and how revival begins with personal repentance rather than blaming outside circumstances. This episode will challenge you to align your heart with God's plan and pursue a deeper prayer life. Take a real step toward revival, praying with the same confidence Nehemiah did.

| How Biblical Obedience Transforms Lives and Churches | The Well Podcast S9E16 | 26 Jul 2026 | 00:43:18 | |
Bible obedience—not cultural approval—is what makes us stand firm in a culture that shifts. In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Chad Glover and Les Norman explore why churches die, the dangers of compromising God's Word, and the true marks of spiritual success—even amid scars from suffering. If you're seeking purpose in pain or wondering how to stay faithful in a post-truth culture, this honest, hope-filled conversation will encourage you to bear the marks of Jesus daily—because faithfulness, not success, is what lasts.

| How Motives and Mindset Shape Your Generosity | The Well Podcast S8E05 | 30 Mar 2026 | 00:46:34 | |
How do motives and mindset shape generosity? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman dive into the meaning of the Parable of the Talents and how it applies to believers today. When Jesus spoke about "talent" in the parable, He was referring to a large sum of money, not just a natural ability. Everyone has a different measure of resources and opportunities, but what matters most is faithfulness with what God has given, not how much you have. Spiritual maturity is reflected in how we think about and steward our finances, time, and abilities for God’s glory. Ultimately, Pastor Phil reminds us not to compare ourselves to others, but to focus on being faithful with what we have. The mindset behind our giving—the motive and the heart—matters as much as the act itself.
