What is the Context of Scripture? How do the different church denominations and non-denominational churches create a bias that gets in the way of how we interpret and understand? How does our disposition in life create a filter in our Bible study? It’s not your normal Bible talk.

Who Is Yahweh?
Thursday Mar 11, 2021
Thursday Mar 11, 2021
Who is God? What is His name? Does it matter if I call Him Yahweh, or Jesus, or Yeshua? Where does Yahweh even come from? Is it possible that God’s name is more than just a name? Mike and Ben explore the deeper meaning and divinity of the God of the Bible. (Don't miss the bloopers at the end!)

Did God Authorize the KJV?
Wednesday Mar 03, 2021
Wednesday Mar 03, 2021
This conversation about the Bible is not your normal Bible talk. We want to know: Is the "authorized" 1611 the best translation of the Bible? Is it God's final authority? Did Paul write the KJV? In this episode we explore textual criticism, the ancient manuscripts, and the actual the value of different translations of the Bible. And what do we do with paraphrases.

Vaccination Fascination
Friday Feb 05, 2021
Friday Feb 05, 2021
Now that vaccines are available to fight COVID-19 the question remains, just how safe and truly effective are they? Some have had no side effects. Others have died. There's a lot of talk and a lot of fear. Mike and Ben try to cut through it all to a reasonable, and Biblical response.

But, why all the power grabs? Not just politically? Individually too? We discuss power, from a Biblical perspective.

Cancel Culture
Wednesday Jan 20, 2021
Wednesday Jan 20, 2021
Cancel culture is only getting worse. It is helpful to call out and remove problematic people for mainstream culture? Perhaps. But how and who gets to decide who to cancel them and for what? Seems like this is getting out of hand fast. What is a better Biblical response?
