    Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen? | Ep. 25

    In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim addresses one of life’s hardest questions: Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?

Through Scripture and real-life perspective, this episode reminds us that: We are not God—and we won’t always understand His waysSuffering is real, even for the most faithful (like Job)The better question may not be “Why do bad things happen?” but “Why do good things happen to sinners?”God is working an eternal purpose far beyond what we can seePain is not wasted—God uses it for growth, ministry, and His gloryMost importantly, you’ll be pointed to the cross—the ultimate proof that God loves you and is not distant from suffering, but entered into it Himself through Jesus Christ. This episode doesn’t answer every question—but it will help you trust God when you don’t understand.

    What is the Sin of Commission and Omission? | Ep. 24

    In this sobering and eye-opening episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim explores a truth many overlook: sin isn’t just what we do wrong—it’s also what we fail to do right. Drawing from key Scriptures like James 4:17, this episode breaks down the difference between sins of commission (the wrong we actively do) and sins of omission (the good we neglect). Through biblical examples—from the fall in Genesis to the Good Samaritan—Dr. Tim shows how both reveal the condition of the human heart and our deep need for Christ. But this message doesn’t leave you in guilt—it points you to hope. Discover how Jesus paid for both kinds of sin, how confession restores fellowship with God, and how abiding in Christ empowers us to live a life of practical holiness. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing enough?” or “What does God really expect of me?”—this episode brings clarity, conviction, and encouragement straight from God’s Word. Key Topics: The difference between commission and omissionWhy omission can be even more convictingThe heart as the source of sinChrist’s complete payment for all sinHow to respond: confession, obedience, and abiding in ChristDon’t just avoid the wrong—learn how to actively do right, through the power of Jesus Christ.

    Everyone is searching for peace—but where can it truly be found? In this episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim uncovers the biblical path to lasting peace of mind, showing that it doesn’t begin with circumstances, techniques, or self-help—but with a restored relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

    What is the Rapture of the Church? | Ep. 22

    What is the rapture—and is it really taught in the Bible? In this episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim explores one of the most hope-filled doctrines of Scripture: the moment when Jesus Christ will return to take His people to be with Him. You’ll discover what the Bible says about the rapture, how it differs from the second coming, and why it should bring comfort—not fear—to every believer. From the promise of resurrection and transformation to the assurance of deliverance, this episode unpacks the truth that Christ is coming again, and His people will be with Him forever. Be encouraged, grounded, and reminded to live with joyful expectation as we look ahead to that glorious day.

    Should the Apocrypha Be A Part of Scripture? | Ep. 21

    In this episode of the Wisdom’s Way podcast, Dr. Tim Pollock explores the origin, history, and authority of the Apocryphal books often found in Roman Catholic Bibles. He explains what the Apocrypha is, how these writings became associated with certain Bible translations, and why they are not recognized as inspired Scripture by evangelical Christians. Looking at historical evidence, the testimony of early church leaders, and key biblical principles, this episode highlights that the Apocrypha was not part of the Hebrew Scriptures, was never quoted as Scripture in the New Testament, and contains teachings that conflict with the gospel of grace. While acknowledging their historical value, Dr. Pollock emphasizes the importance of holding to the established biblical canon and keeping the focus on the central message of the Bible—the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    What does the Bible say about cremation? | Ep. 20

    What does the Bible say about cremation? Should Christians choose burial instead? In this episode of the Wisdom’s Way podcast, Dr. Tim Pollock addresses a question many believers face when thinking about end-of-life decisions. Looking at Scripture, he explains that while burial was the common practice in biblical times, the Bible does not give a direct command forbidding cremation. This episode explores key passages about burial, the resurrection, and God’s power over the human body—emphasizing that a believer’s future does not depend on the condition of their remains, but on the saving power of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, Dr. Pollock shows that this issue falls under Christian liberty and encourages believers to make thoughtful, God-honoring decisions without judgment, keeping the focus on the eternal hope found in Christ.

    Did Jesus Really Go to Hell After the Cross? | Ep 19

    Did Jesus descend into hell after the crucifixion and suffer there for three days? In this episode of the Wisdom’s Way podcast, Dr. Tim Pollock examines a teaching that has become popular in some circles—that Jesus went to hell after the cross to battle Satan, suffer torment, and finish the work of redemption. Carefully walking through key passages such as Luke 23:43, John 19:30, Acts 2, 1 Peter 3, and Ephesians 4, Dr. Pollock explains what the Bible actually teaches about Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. This episode highlights the powerful truth that when Jesus declared “It is finished,” the full payment for sin was completed at Calvary, and the victory over sin and death was already secured.

    Should Christians Support Israel? | Ep. 18

    Should Christians support the nation of Israel? In this episode of the Wisdom’s Way podcast, Dr. Tim Pollock explores what the Bible actually says about Israel and why it holds a unique place in God’s plan. Looking at key Scriptures such as Deuteronomy 7, John 4, Romans 11, and Genesis 12, he explains the biblical foundations for Israel as God’s chosen people, the spiritual debt Christians owe through the Jewish roots of the faith, and God’s promises concerning Israel’s future. Rather than relying on political opinions or cultural narratives, this episode calls believers to adopt a biblical worldview—one that respects, prays for, and understands Israel’s role in God’s redemptive plan while standing firmly on the authority of Scripture.
