Tackling the complex, confusing, and controversial stuff of the Bible and life. 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 (really, they were very, very critical) 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.

    Why Saving Money Might Be Holding You Back Spiritually

    🎙️ Sponsored by TeachEquip — equipping Bible teachers who want to grow in clarity, confidence, and joy. (Also, they’re just awesome.) We’re diving into a topic that’s as personal as it is powerful—money. Why is it so hard to talk about? Why does the Bible have so much to say about it? And how do we faithfully navigate money in a culture that defines success by independence and accumulation? We’ve wrestled with these questions ourselves—from seasons of barely scraping by (shoutout to our musician years 🙃) to moments of unexpected generosity that showed us God’s faithfulness in profound ways. We’re not financial experts, but we’ve lived this stuff. And we’re passionate about talking through what scripture really says—about stewardship, retirement, savings, generosity, and what it means to live in light of eternity. You’ll hear personal stories (yes, including the Panera Bread miracle), biblical truth, and maybe a few spicy takes. Our hope is that this conversation encourages you to trust God more deeply with your resources, whether you’re in a season of lack or abundance. 💡 We talk about: Why money isn’t evil—but our hearts can twist itHow Jesus flips the cultural narrative around wealthWhat we’ve learned (and unlearned) about retirementHow to give when you don’t have extraWhy being part of a generous church family matters📚 Books we mention: George Müller’s Autobiography (Free PDF)Money, Possessions, and Eternity by Randy Alcorn — Buy on AmazonThe Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn — Buy on Amazon🔗 Mentioned in this episode: TeachEquip — A biblical resource hub for teaching and equipping the church👛 Don’t wait until you have “extra” to start living generously. The safest place for whatever you have—big or small—is with the Lord. We’d love to hear how this episode hits you. Got questions? Disagreements? Stories of provision?

    Stop Saying Everyone Should Go to Seminary

    🎙️ Sponsored by TeachEquip — equipping Bible teachers who want to grow in clarity, confidence, and joy. (Also, they’re just awesome.) Two mics. One massive theological cage match. In the blue corner: Jimmy, seminary student, Greek-speaker, and general chaos maker. In the red corner: Kelly, Bible-studying, Spirit-led, school-free savage of Scripture. The bell rings and it’s ON. In this delightfully chaotic episode of Clearly, Jimmy and Kelly go toe-to-toe on the question that haunts church nerds everywhere: SHOULD. YOU. GO. TO. SEMINARY? 💥 Jimmy throws down with “speed, precision, and exposure.” 💥 Kelly counters with “your Bible is already in your house… FOR FREE.” 💥 Greek flies. Sarcasm lands. A kiss attempt is blocked mid-podcast. 💥 And somewhere in the middle, you get real clarity on whether seminary is your next move—or just a shiny distraction from cracking open Leviticus on your own. Also inside this episode: A “Should I Go to Seminary?” checklistWhy seminary can be awesome—or totally unnecessaryThe story behind Teach Equip, Kelly’s training program for women who want to teach ScriptureMultiple Frozen references (unprovoked)One-off jokes that may require repentance later🎧 So grab your Bible, lace up your theological gloves, and tune in for a no-holds-barred, slightly unhinged, actually super helpful episode of Clearly. 🥊 Bonus round: Join the Clearly Partner crew on Patreon to access live tapings, giveaways, Q&As, and our top-secret WhatsApp group. patreon.com/jimmyandkellyneedham

    Complementarianism Isn’t About You — It’s About God

    🎙️ Sponsored by TeachEquip — equipping Bible teachers who want to grow in clarity, confidence, and joy. (Also, they’re just awesome.) That’s right. It’s Q&A time — and y’all did not hold back. In this episode, we dive into some of the hardest (and most honest) follow-up questions we’ve received from Clearly listeners lately. Prepare yourself: this is the deep end of the pool. Questions we tackle: 🧔‍♂️ Why does God reserve church leadership for men — really? (Not just “because the Bible says so.”)💧 Why do some churches require rebaptism for membership, and is that fair?🧠 Can we be in fellowship with someone we believe is sinning… but they don’t think they are?😰 If Satan could torment Paul and wreck Job’s life, should I still be scared?🤯 And yes, we go there — does God ever feel scarier than Satan?With Scripture, humility, and a little laughter to keep it grounded, we unpack what it means to trust God's design, even when it makes us squirm a little. Also: we may or may not coin the term “shloughing off” and accidentally go full Joe Rogan length. 📚 Related Resources & Episodes: 🎥 Why We’re Complementarian🎥 Women Teaching the Bible (Part 1)🎥 Women Teaching the Bible (Part 2)🎥 Spiritual Gifts & Gender Roles🎥 What Do We Do With Satan?🎥 How to Disagree Without Dividing

    1 Corinthians: The Church Has Always Been Messed Up

    It is Partner Month. Join us in Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry: Patreon Get you 1 Corinthians One-Pager here! We’re heading to Corinth, y’all—and not just for the ruins. In this episode, Jimmy and Kelly crack open Paul’s (technically second!) letter to the Corinthians and uncover why it’s still wildly relevant today. From church drama and spiritual gifts to communion faux pas and resurrection mic drops, 1 Corinthians is a loaded letter to a messy, relatable church. We’re talking about why Paul calls these hot mess believers “saints,” what makes this book a gift to the ADHD brain, and how a deep dive into resurrection theology becomes one of the most compelling historical cases for Christianity. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the modern church, wrestled with tricky Bible passages, or just want to know how to see Jesus clearly through Paul’s letters—this episode is for you. And yes, we’re giving you that Clearly One-Pager to help you dig in for yourself. 🔗 Resources mentioned: Explore ancient biblical manuscripts at csntm.orgWatch their manuscript walk-through on YouTube

    How Chat GPT Can Ruin Your Spiritual Life

    It is Partner Month.  Join us in Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry: Patreon We’re talking about robots. Specifically, that charming, weirdly affirming robot known as ChatGPT—and what it means for your walk with Jesus. In this episode, Jimmy and Kelly tackle AI and the Christian life: how tools like ChatGPT can help (or hurt) your Bible study, sermon prep, and spiritual formation. Is it okay to ask a bot for help with the Bible? Should you be letting AI write your sermon? What does it mean to linger in Scripture when instant answers are one prompt away? And what’s actually being lost when we outsource our discipleship to a machine? We break it all down: the helpfulness of AI, its very real risks, and how to use it without shortcutting your soul. Also—yes, we talk about AI-generated tacos, Greek grandmas, and Spanish Kelly.
