BIBLE STUDY PODCAST

Mission Hills Church

As we all know, life can get crazy busy with well…life. Everyone has seasons that don’t allow for heavy time commitments to a weekly Bible study at their church or in their neighborhood. That’s why we’ve created a podcast space where you can come and go, as your schedule allows, that points you toward Jesus and His Word. Each season, a combination of our hosts – Kristy Allen, Micah Harrison, Kelly Meadows, and Matt Winter – will discuss a Bible study and share with you what they have learned and how God is moving in their lives as they go through the study.

  1. Ep4 | When Everything Feels Like It’s Falling Apart | Luke 21:5-38

    Ep4 | When Everything Feels Like It’s Falling Apart | Luke 21:5-38

    In Luke 21, Jesus says something that must have shocked His disciples: the temple they admired would one day fall. Why would Jesus bring this up during His final week before the cross? In this episode, we explore how Jesus prepares His followers for uncertain times—and how His words still speak to us today. From anxiety and people-pleasing to fear about the future, we talk about the things we tend to anchor ourselves to instead of God. You’ll hear practical insights about: • Trusting God when life feels unstable, • Preparing your heart before "crisis" hits, • Staying rooted in faith when the world feels chaotic. Life may feel messy, but Jesus invites us into a deeper freedom—one where we don’t have to carry the weight of the world on our own. ============================= Reflection Questions: ============================= ✅ What do you tend to rely on for security when life feels uncertain? Is it something temporary, or something eternal? ✅ Which of the burdens mentioned in the conversation—control, anxiety, approval, or security—do you struggle with most? ✅ How might practicing spiritual habits now (prayer, Scripture, community) prepare your heart for difficult seasons later? ✅ Jesus says not to be weighed down by the anxieties of life. What is currently weighing on your heart? ✅ What would it look like this week to lift your eyes toward Jesus instead of focusing only on the chaos around you? ============================= Bible Study Podcast: Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOSTS:: Kristy Allen, Micah Harrison, Brian Laney 🎛️ PRODUCTION + MIXING:: Lepard Productions 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland   A Product of Lepard Productions + The Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved

  2. Ep3 | The Cornerstone We Trip Over | Luke 20-21:4

    Ep3 | The Cornerstone We Trip Over | Luke 20-21:4

    In Luke 20, religious leaders try to trap Jesus with a simple question: “By what authority are you doing these things?” But Jesus turns the conversation around—and suddenly the real issue is exposed. In this episode, the team explores how pride, fear of people, and spiritual assumptions can keep us from recognizing the truth right in front of us. They also wrestle with one of Jesus’ most powerful images: the cornerstone we either build our lives on… or stumble over. If you’ve ever struggled with faith, authority, or what it really means to follow Jesus, this conversation invites you to slow down, open Scripture, and discover Jesus again. ============================= Reflection Questions: ============================= ✅ What expectations do I have about how God should work in my life? Could those expectations keep me from recognizing what He’s actually doing? ✅ Where in my life might Jesus be inviting me into a deeper kind of peace—not just comfort? ✅ When Jesus cleared the temple, He was restoring what had been corrupted. Are there areas of my life where God may be asking to do that same restoring work? ✅ What helps me recognize God’s presence in everyday moments? ✅ If I truly believed Jesus is the King He claims to be, what would I surrender to Him this week? ============================= Bible Study Podcast: Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOSTS:: Kristy Allen, Micah Harrison, Brian Laney 🎛️ PRODUCTION + MIXING:: Lepard Productions 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland   A Product of Lepard Productions + The Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved

  3. Ep2 | When Jesus Doesn’t Meet Your Expectations | Luke 19:28–48

    Ep2 | When Jesus Doesn’t Meet Your Expectations | Luke 19:28–48

    What happens when Jesus shows up—but not the way we expected? In Luke 19, Jesus finally arrives in Jerusalem. The crowds celebrate Him as king, shouting praise and welcoming Him with excitement. But Jesus knows something they don’t: many of these same voices will soon turn against Him. In this episode, we explore the tension of this moment. Why did Jesus ride into the city on a donkey? Why does He weep over Jerusalem? And why does the Prince of Peace walk into the temple and start flipping tables? Along the way, we talk honestly about how we often approach God with our own expectations—and what it looks like to recognize Jesus for who He truly is. Wherever you’re at in life or faith, you’re welcome here. Let’s open God’s Word together and discover what He might be teaching us today. ============================= Reflection Questions: ============================= ✅ What expectations do I have about how God should work in my life? Could those expectations keep me from recognizing what He’s actually doing? ✅ Where in my life might Jesus be inviting me into a deeper kind of peace—not just comfort? ✅ When Jesus cleared the temple, He was restoring what had been corrupted. Are there areas of my life where God may be asking to do that same restoring work? ✅ What helps me recognize God’s presence in everyday moments? ✅ If I truly believed Jesus is the King He claims to be, what would I surrender to Him this week? ============================= Bible Study Podcast: Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOSTS:: Kristy Allen, Micah Harrison, Brian Laney 🎛️ PRODUCTION + MIXING:: Lepard Productions 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland   A Product of Lepard Productions + The Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved

    Ep1 | When Jesus Turns Everything Upside Down | Luke 19-24

    The story of Jesus is familiar to many of us—but what if we slowed down and looked again? In this first episode of our new Bible study season, we begin a journey through the final chapters of the Gospel of Luke, leading all the way through the passion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. Before we dive into the story itself, we take time to explore the big picture: Why Luke wrote his Gospel, what makes Luke’s account unique, the surprising themes woven throughout the book, and the question Luke quietly asks every reader: What will you do with Jesus? Along the way, we talk about: • The upside-down Kingdom of God, • Why Jesus consistently moved toward the marginalized, • How Luke highlights the reactions people had when they encountered Christ, • And why even familiar stories like Easter can still transform us. If life feels busy and you don’t have time for a full Bible study, this podcast was created for you. Come listen, reflect, and discover Jesus in His Word—one episode at a time. 📖 Next Week’s Passage: Luke 19:28–48 ============================= Reflection Questions: ============================= ✅ When you hear the story of Jesus today, does it feel fresh or familiar? Why do you think that is? ✅ Luke repeatedly shows people responding to Jesus. What kind of response do you see in your own life right now? ✅ Jesus often moved toward people others overlooked. Who might God be inviting you to notice this week? ✅ Where might God be turning your expectations upside down—just like He did for people in Luke’s Gospel? ✅ What would it look like for you to slow down and truly sit with the story of Jesus this week? ============================= Bible Study Podcast: Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOSTS:: Kristy Allen, Micah Harrison, Brian Laney 🎛️ PRODUCTION + MIXING:: Lepard Productions 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland   A Product of Lepard Productions + The Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved
