Unlock Ten: The Bible Wasn’t Written To You

One of the biggest mistakes we make is assuming the Bible was written directly to us. It wasn't. It was written to real people living in a very different time, place, and culture. BUT. It was written for us. In this tenth episode of our Unlocking the Bible series, we explore seven key realities of the ancient world, from food insecurity and Roman occupation to patronage and family life, that will completely change the way you read the Bible. When you understand the original audience first, you'll discover a clearer picture of what God was saying then and what he's saying to us today. 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss our current series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Book club is NEXT WEEK!

Unlock Nine: Find Your Place in the New Testament Story

Last week, we explored the story of the Old Testament. This week, we discover how the New Testament completes and continues that story. From Jesus announcing God's kingdom to the birth of the church and the promise of restoration, the New Testament isn't just history. It's the story we're living in right now. In this episode, we unpack the Bible's three final acts, explain what it means to live between Jesus' first and second coming, and explore how seeing yourself in God's story changes the way you view your purpose, your struggles, and your everyday life. 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss our current series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Book club is almost here!

Unlock Eight: Find Your Place in the Old Testament Story

Last week, we explored the idea that every person lives inside a story. This week, we begin unpacking the Bible's story by looking at the three major movements of the Old Testament: creation, rebellion, and Israel. Along the way, we trace the story of a loving God who creates a good world, watches humanity repeatedly reject him, and yet continues to pursue and restore his people. From Eden to Abraham, Moses to David, the prophets to exile, the Old Testament reveals a God who refuses to give up on those he loves. More than ancient history, this story helps us understand our own lives. The same distrust and rebellion that shaped Israel's story still shape ours today. And the same faithful God who kept showing up for them is still at work in our modern world. 🔔 Subscribe now & don't miss an episode of our brand-new series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Join our book club!
