    1536. The Rainbow Isn't What You Think (The Flood Explained) | Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb

    Was the flood really about God's anger? Most of us learned the story of Noah as children: people were bad, God got angry, and the flood happened. But Genesis tells a much bigger story. In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores how the flood is actually a story of decreation, restraint, and God's determination not to give up on creation. Along the way, you'll discover why the Hebrew word for "rainbow" also means "bow"—a weapon—and why Genesis says this sign was placed in the sky for God himself to remember his covenant. This episode is part of our series, Before the New Testament: The Foundations You Can't Skip, where we explore the Old Testament themes that shape the entire biblical story.

    1534. Christians Used to Be Funnier? Humor, Satire, and the Church | Dr. Terry Lindvall (Part 2)

    This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Terry Lindvall. If you haven't seen Part 1 yet, start there first: https://youtu.be/jBuZ6d7O2es What happened to Christian humor? For centuries, Christians laughed, joked, mocked hypocrisy, and used satire to expose pride, corruption, and foolishness. But somewhere along the way, many believers became afraid to laugh. In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb and Dr. Terry Lindvall explore the forgotten history of Christian humor—from medieval monks and the Feast of Fools to Martin Luther, G.K. Chesterton, and the long tradition of holy mockery. Why did Christians become so serious? Can satire be used faithfully? What's the difference between humor that heals and humor that harms? This conversation is insightful, hilarious, and surprisingly relevant for the modern church. 📚 Dr. Terry Lindvall's book: God Mocks: A History of Religious Satire from the Hebrew Prophets to Stephen Colbert: https://a.co/d/02BTQlob ▶️ Missed Part 1?

    1533. Why God Created Temples, Priests, and Sacrifices: The Story of God's Presence | Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb

    Many Christians assume the Old Testament is primarily about rules, restrictions, sacrifices, and barriers between God and humanity. But what if those things existed for the exact opposite reason? In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores one of the Bible's most important themes: God's relentless desire to dwell with His people. From Eden to the Tabernacle, from the Temple to Jesus, Scripture tells the story of a God who continually moves toward humanity—even after humanity moves away from Him. Why did God's presence become dangerous after Genesis 3? What were priests, sacrifices, and purity laws actually accomplishing? And how does Jesus restore what was lost in Eden? Join us as we trace the story of God's presence across Scripture and discover why the Old Testament may not be what you think it is. #bible #podcast #jesus #faith #christ #christianeducation #christian #oldtestament #biblestudy #devotional #scholar #god Study deeper with GlossaHouse:🌐 https://glossahouse.com📚 Classes (GlossaHouse U):https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 Digital Libraries:https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library🎧 Listen to ProveText:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiRApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462📲 Follow GlossaHouse:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse

    1531. God Is Funny? Humor, Satire, and the Bible | Conversation with Dr. Terry Lindvall (Part 1)

    Most Christians read the Bible far too seriously. But what if Scripture contains far more humor, irony, satire, and laughter than we've been taught to see? In this conversation, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb sits down with humor scholar Dr. Terry Lindvall to explore the hidden comedy of the Bible—from Sarah's laughter and Noah's drunkenness to Jewish humor, biblical irony, and the surprising ways God uses humor throughout Scripture. Why do we miss so much of the Bible's humor? Did God intend for His people to laugh? And what happens when we rediscover the joy, playfulness, and humanity woven into the biblical story? This is Part 1 of a fascinating conversation on humor, satire, and the Bible. 📚 Dr. Terry Lindvall's book: God Mocks: A History of Religious Satire from the Hebrew Prophets to Stephen Colbert: https://a.co/d/02BTQlob 🔔 Subscribe for Part 2, where we explore Christian satire, church history, Luther, holy mockery, and why Christians used to be a lot funnier. #jesus #podcast #humor #funny #comedy #bible #christ #booktok #history #faith #interview #scholar #biblestudy #joy #jokes Study deeper with GlossaHouse:🌐 https://glossahouse.com📚 Classes (GlossaHouse U):https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 Digital Libraries:https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library🎧 Listen to ProveText:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiRApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462📲 Follow GlossaHouse:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse
