    She Should Cover Her Head??

    She Should Cover Her Head??

    The Bible Should Bother You

    The Bible Should Bother You

    The God of the Old Testament feels like a bit much…until we realize maybe we are not seeing things as CLEARLY (see what I did there?) as we should. May we be zealous for God's honor like Phinehas. Also, great baby name.

    Didn't get enough information on foreign women in the Bible or need some dating insight?

    God Gets Emotional

    God Gets Emotional

    All up in the feels today, folks! Not ours, God’s. Everyone wants to talk about their feelings, but let's take a second and listen to what God feels in the book of Hosea. Plus, we learn a new fun nerd word: Impassibility!

    Hey, remember when we talked about a specific emotion (fear) and God?

    Prophecy, Interpretation, and Prosperity Gospel

    Do you enjoy running head-long into pain and suffering? Do you go against your friends when they say they have a word from God? Is your name Paul?

Otherwise, jump into today's passage as we wrestle with prophecy, interpretation, and how we are all bent toward the prosperity gospel if we're not careful. 

    Need a little more about pain and suffering? Join us as we discuss who is behind our suffering!

Jimmy since he was little

Our family has known and loved Jimmy since he was in youth group at our church. We got to watch him grow from afar, went to his little bitty concerts in the park, and have loved his albums since. This podcast comes across as light and fluffy, the way Jimmy and Kelly bounce quips and jokes off each other, but it’s deep, and interesting, and thought provoking. Thank you!

Bible Nerds FTW

Jimmy & Kelly are bible nerds and they make you wanna be a bible nerd too! I’m late finding this podcast but I’m so glad I did. It’s rare to hear someone talk about the Word with such excitement and passion and it absolutely translates to listeners. I love the controversial topics that are handled with such care and with multiple points of view. Thank you both for giving us this gift!

How did I not know about this podcast?

I just listened to this podcast for the first time; Though warned by the podcasters to consider listening first to the Book of Job series from it’s beginning, I threw caution to the wind and listened to the most recent podcast, the wrap-up of the series on Job. It turned out to be a God-thing, (there’s really no other kind of “thing”, I guess, which, incidentally is one of the major takeaways of Job that Jimmy and Kelly brought out: There are no accidents, no slip-ups by God.) I really needed to hear the things God gave Jimmy and Kelly to say.
Now I’ll go back to the beginning of the series. 😁
