GET INTO GOD’S WORD. GET OVER YOURSELF. 😊
That pretty much sums up what we do here on Clearly: Helping demystify the Bible so you can discover the big-dealness of God. Cause when He becomes everything, everything gets better.
Critically acclaimed recording artist and pastor Jimmy Needham has always been drawn to things others overlook. His wife, Author and speaker Kelly Needham, is a Bible teacher at heart. Join one or both of them each week for a dive into the parts of the Bible that scare you off and the areas of your spiritual life you’ve been avoiding. You just might find what was once blurry is coming into focus.

Life Gets Better When God's the Center: Jimmy's Story
Tis a new season! And a new season means super easy questions like: "Why do I exist?" and "Even if Jesus didn't save me, would He still be worth worshiping?" So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this light and fluffy reminder that we all need to get over ourselves and into the One worth worshiping.
Today, Jimmy’s sharing how he discovered the good news that God is most important and how it set him free.
Key learning moments in Jimmy’s life:
(7:06) - 15-year-old Jimmy gets stumped at what the meaning of life is.
(11:18) - A sermon on a CD blows Jimmy’s mind on how much God deserves to be worshiped.
(18:39) - During his first read-through of the Bible, Jimmy realizes that God is sovereignly involved in every. single. thing. (good and bad!).
(21:49) - Jimmy comes to terms with how he is saved, God’s adoption of His children, and predestination. Before this reckoning, Jimmy had been discouraged and nervous about his salvation.

Stepping Off the Throne: Kelly's Story
What does it look like to let God rule in singleness? What if His rule looks different from what we would prefer? What if Kelly thought of Jimmy not as a boyfriend but more as a good friend? All these questions are answered as we listen to Kelly's journey to vacate areas of her life that rightly belong to the King of the universe.
Key learning moments in Kelly’s life:
(2:35) - College-age Kelly submitted her desire to find a husband to God.
(7:34) - Kelly had to pray before saying ‘yes’ to dating Jimmy Needham. 🤭
(9:35) - Kelly realized marriage wasn’t to serve her own desires - but God’s.
(14:27) - Through an inductive study of the Old Testament prophets, Kelly’s view of God was challenged. Does God have feelings? A personality?
(19:21) As a mom with two young kids and a husband on tour, Kelly studied the Pharisees. And it changed everything.

She Should Cover Her Head??
What does 1 Corinthians 11 mean when it says women should cover their head? Is there anything we can take away from this passage? Are men off the hook in this section? (short answer...nope!) There is so much to be learned from these tough passages. So get out your headcoverings and listen in!

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.

Customer Reviews
Amazing!
Great job on this, this was very well displayed and thought through. Appreciate all the thoughts and it’s encouraging to see other Christians getting the right idea about homosexuality and the LGBTQ community. Thank you! God bless your family!
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!
