    The Difference Between Gratitude and Thanksgiving | Bible, Bros & Brew

    As we've journeyed through the scriptures regarding the importance of being grateful, a thought-provoking idea has emerged: Is there a difference between gratitude and thanksgiving? Armed with the Bible and a healthy supply of coffee, David & Phil tackle this intriguing question, and the discoveries they've made are definitely worth further study. Using key verses from the Old and New Testaments, the bros offer this thesis: Gratitude is an attitude of the heart based on an inward acknowledgement and appreciation of who God is and what He's done, whereas thanksgiving is the outward expression of gratefulness to God for all that the heart experiences. So grab your Bible and your favorite cup of java or tea, and join us as we explore the life-changing power of gratefulness! 🙏 Thanks for watching Bible, Bros & Brew! We’re glad you’re here.

    The Power of Practicing Gratitude | Bible, Bros, & Brew

    In Psalm 50:14, the Bible encourages us to give God an offering of thanksgiving, which is explained in practical terms as the "fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name" (Hebrews 13:15). Scripture is replete with these types of encouragements, and if we're wise enough take heed to them, we'll discover of the most powerful forms of fellowship with God that exists. In this episode, David and Phil continue exploring the themes of thankfulness and gratefulness, particularly in light of the transformative power that can be unlocked when gratitude becomes a daily disposition of mind. So grab your Bible and your favorite brewed beverage, and join us as we dig into the Word together to unveil the power of practicing gratefulness! 🙏 Thanks for watching Bible, Bros & Brew!

    The Art of Gratefulness | Bible, Bros, & Brew

    The Missing Piece of Humility: Why Repentance Unlocks Spiritual Growth

    As we’ve journeyed through our series on pride and humility, a powerful, often-overlooked theme has emerged: repentance. What does the Bible really mean when it calls us to repent? And why is repentance inseparable from true humility? Simply put, repentance is the decision to turn around — to walk away from thoughts, habits, and actions that pull us away from God. It’s humility in motion. When you see yourself clearly before God, repentance is the step that transforms clarity into spiritual growth. In this episode of Bible Bros & Brew, David & Phil dig deep into the scriptures to uncover: What repentance truly means in the Bible Why humility, submission, and repentance work together Why pride blinds us to our real condition The connection between motives and unanswered prayer (James 4) How God restores those who humble themselves (2 Chronicles 7:14) Why repentance isn’t just “feeling sorry,” but turning toward a new direction Whether you’ve struggled with recurring sin, discouragement, or feeling stuck spiritually, this conversation brings fresh clarity and encouragement.

    Why Submission Gets a Bad Rap and What the Bible Really Says | Bible, Bros & Brew

    The word “submission” gets a bad rap in today’s culture — and for good reason. Many have misused it as a tool for control, dominance, or manipulation. But the Bible paints a very different picture. In Scripture, submission is not weakness, inferiority, or becoming someone’s doormat. It is a powerful, purposeful, God-designed posture that leads to authentic humility, spiritual growth, and divine honor. In this episode, David & Phil open the Scriptures to show how submission and humility are inseparable, why God calls every believer to “clothe themselves in humility,” and how practicing biblical submission can transform your relationships, your spiritual life, and even your emotional health. You’ll learn: -The true meaning of the Greek word hupotassō -Why submission precedes humility -How Jesus modeled the ultimate act of submission -Why God “resists the proud” but pours grace on the humble -The difference between false humility and genuine servanthood -Why biblical submission is mutual before it’s marital -How pride blocks spiritual progress -What it means to “put on the servant’s garment” every day So grab your Bible, notebook, and favorite cup of coffee or tea — and let’s explore this powerful, often-misunderstood biblical principle together. 📘 Be sure to download the Study Guide for this episode 00:00 — Intro: Why “submission” is a triggering word 01:20 — What’s In the Cup?
