    Biblical Literacy Crisis: The Numbers Don't Lie

    Shocking Truth: A Majority of Christians Actually Hold Heretical Beliefs? 😱 | Reviewing the Latest State of Theology StudyIn this eye-opening video, I dive deep into a major national survey that exposes some alarming realities about what people who call themselves Christians actually believe.Key findings that will make you think twice:Large percentages of evangelicals and professing Christians affirm views condemned as heresies centuries ago—like Jesus being a created being (echoing ancient Arianism), the Holy Spirit as just an impersonal force (not a full person of the Trinity), humans being "basically good" at heart (denying original sin), or even that God accepts worship from all religions.Even among those who claim a high view of Scripture, contradictory and unorthodox ideas are widespread—showing a serious crisis in biblical literacy and discipleship.Is this just bad polling... or a wake-up call that the church needs better teaching on foundational doctrines?I walk through the most concerning stats, explain what these beliefs mean theologically (and why the early church fought so hard against them), share relevant Bible verses that directly address them, and discuss what this means for everyday believers today.Whether you're a pastor, a concerned Christian, or just curious about the state of faith in America—this video is for you. Let's get back to biblical orthodoxy before it's too late!Check out Basicallybiblical.comAll other links are here0:00 - Intro1:37 - Science Disproves The Bible9:32 - Gender Is A Choice13:02 - Jesus was not God16:25 - God accepts all religions23:21 - The Holy Spirit is the Force28:07 - People are good by nature30:18 - God first created Jesus41:30 - Final thoughts

    Day 349 – Finish the Race: Faithful to the End — 2 Timothy 1–4 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In his final letter, written from prison and near the end of his life, Paul urges Timothy to remain courageous and steadfast. He calls him to guard the gospel, endure hardship, and continue preaching the Word in a culture drifting from truth. Paul reflects on his own life with confidence, declaring that he has fought the good fight and finished the race. These chapters are both deeply personal and powerfully instructive, reminding believers that faithfulness—not comfort—is the goal.Questions:1. Paul urges Timothy not to be ashamed of the gospel but to share in suffering for it. What fears or pressures make bold faith difficult today?2. In chapter 3, Paul describes a culture that resists truth and urges Timothy to remain grounded in Scripture. How does staying rooted in God’s Word guard you from drifting?3. Paul declares, “I have fought the good fight… I have finished the race.” What would it look like for you to live now in a way that leads to finishing well?Check out Basicallybiblical.comUse my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

    Day 347 – Guarding the Gospel: Leadership in the Church — 1 Timothy 1–3 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In these opening chapters of 1 Timothy, Paul writes to his young protégé about protecting sound doctrine in the life of the church. He warns against false teaching, highlights the transforming power of the gospel through his own testimony, and calls the church to prayer and godly order. Paul then outlines qualifications for elders and deacons, emphasizing character over charisma and faithfulness over prominence. The church, Paul reminds Timothy, is God’s household—called to uphold and display the truth.Questions:1. Paul contrasts sound doctrine with false teaching rooted in speculation and pride. How can we discern whether teaching today is truly centered on the gospel?2. Paul’s testimony shows how grace transforms even the worst of sinners. How does remembering God’s mercy shape humility and gratitude in your walk with Christ?3. The qualifications for church leaders focus heavily on character. Why does godly character matter more than gifting or popularity in spiritual leadership?Check out Basicallybiblical.comUse my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

What spiritual disciplines help you grow in godliness over time?2. The love of money is described as a root of all kinds of evil.

    Day 346 – Standing in Truth: Hope, and Faithful Work — 2 Thessalonians 1–3 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

    In 2 Thessalonians, Paul writes to a church facing persecution, confusion, and discouragement. He reassures believers that God sees their suffering and will ultimately bring justice, while also correcting misunderstandings about the Day of the Lord. Paul urges the church not to be shaken by false teaching or fear-driven speculation, but to stand firm in the truth they were taught. He closes with practical instruction on perseverance, faithful work, and disciplined Christian living while waiting for Christ’s return.Questions:1. Paul speaks of God’s righteous judgment as both comfort for believers and warning for unbelievers. How does this shape the way we understand suffering and hope?2. The Thessalonians were unsettled by false teaching about the Day of the Lord. What helps you stay grounded in truth rather than fear or speculation?3. Paul connects faithful waiting with faithful work. How can Christians balance eager expectation for Christ’s return with responsibility in daily life?Check out Basicallybiblical.comUse my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

    Bethel's Statement on Shawn Bolz: A Good Start - Surprising, Sobering, and Hopeful!

    In this video, I respond to the recent public statements made by Bethel Church leadership (Dann Farrelly, Kris Vallotton, and Bill Johnson) during their Sunday morning service regarding Shawn Bolz.I want to say this clearly from the outset: this was a good start.I was genuinely surprised by the tone and content of their statements — and at the same time, cautiously hopeful. Public acknowledgment, repentance, and ownership matter, especially when leaders and ministries have influence at this scale.That said, hope does not mean the conversation is over.In this video, I walk through: • What Bethel leadership said and why it matters • What I believe they got right • Where serious questions and concerns still remain • Why accountability, transparency, and discernment are biblical necessities, not optional extrasThis is not a response driven by outrage, nor is it a rubber stamp of approval. My aim is to think biblically, speak truthfully, and respond in a way that honors Christ, protects the Church, and takes sin and leadership responsibility seriously.As always, I encourage you to test everything by Scripture (1 Thessalonians 5:21) and engage this conversation with wisdom, humility, and clarity.📖 “Let not many of you become teachers… for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.” — James 3:1Check out Basicallybiblical.comAll other links are here
