Welcome to The Bible for Everyday Life, where we explore the big questions in the Bible but only have some of the answers. If you’re like us, you’ve come across stuff in the Bible that just seems weird. Sometimes the more people try to explain it the weirder it gets. Maybe you’re just skeptical about Christianity, the Bible and organized church. We get it. So are we.
If you’re looking for straight talk, no clichés, and a logical discussion to all things scriptural, consider subscribing to this podcast, where we go beyond the easy answers, the weird answers and cliches, to discover what God really intends for us, in the 21st century, to learn from the Bible.
Join us as we raise questions, challenge the status quo, and discover a loving God who is crazy about His kid's everyday lives. Each week we’ll publish a new episode that will be easily searchable by seasons. Be sure to subscribe so that you don’t miss out on a user friendly, non-crazy approach to discovering The Bible for Everyday Life.

02: Jesus Never Gives Up -- Nehemiah: The Comforter
Nehemiah means Comforter. There are so many parallels to the New Testament it’s hard to keep track. But Nehemiah also acts in very uncomforting ways. His great leadership devolves to leadership by violence and enforcing of civil laws. What can this possibly tell us about grace?
