  1. DAY 21: WHY DID GOD CHOOSE HIM?!

    5H AGO

    DAY 21: WHY DID GOD CHOOSE HIM?!

    Why would God choose Jacob when Esau looked like the obvious heir? Genesis 25 isn’t just ancient family drama. It’s a mirror. It exposes how easily we trade tomorrow for whatever we’re hungry for today. In Day 21 of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener walks through Genesis 25:19 to 34, where Rebekah’s barrenness, Isaac’s prayer, the twins struggling in the womb, and Esau’s birthright all collide in one unforgettable question: Are you living by covenant, or by appetite? Esau didn’t just want stew. He treated something sacred like it was disposable. Jacob wasn’t mature, clean, or noble yet either. He was grasping. Calculating. Complicated. And that’s the point. God’s covenant purposes don’t move by human custom, birth order, physical strength, family preference, or emotional impulse. They move by His sovereign word. This episode will confront your instincts, your appetites, your ambitions, and the way you make decisions when you’re tired, hungry, pressured, or desperate.

    1D AGO

    DAY 20: WHY DOES ABRAHAM’S STORY END THIS WAY?

    Why doesn’t the Bible rush past Abraham’s ending? Genesis 25:1 to 18 slows down to show something most people miss. God chooses Isaac for the covenant line, yet still blesses Ishmael. That tension reveals the true character of God. In this episode, Dr. Shawn M. Greener unpacks the closing of Abraham’s life through Ancient Near Eastern context, covenant inheritance, and generational identity. This is about more than history. It is about how God works in your life right now. You will learn: • Why covenant inheritance is precise, not random • Why God’s mercy extends beyond the chosen line • Why endings matter in God’s story • How to trust God when life transitions feel uncertain If you are wrestling with purpose, calling, fairness, or change, this episode will challenge and ground you. Tell me: Where do you need to trust God’s precision instead of resisting it? https://rumble.com/v791snq-day-20-why-does-it-end-this-way.html https://www.youtube.com/live/vsNEEKRwgPE?si=yUQI1qsgAkxTleW- More resources: https://www.truewordfaithforlife.com Genesis 25, Abraham death, Isaac inheritance, Ishmael descendants, covenant theology, Bible teaching podcast, Christian teaching, ANE context Bible, God’s faithfulness, biblical inheritance Send Dr. Shawn a Message.

    Sunday Summary: Days 16-19

    Is your faith evidence or just words? In this Sunday Summary and Deepening episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener brings Genesis 21 through 24 together in one powerful message on visible covenant faithfulness. This episode asks a direct question: if your life were put on trial, would there be enough evidence to convict you as someone who truly belongs to God? From Hagar in the wilderness, to Abraham on Moriah, to Sarah’s burial cave, to the servant praying at the well, this message shows what real faith looks like when promise, pain, testing, grief, and future all collide. Dr. Shawn walks through the text with Hebraic worldview, Ancient Near Eastern context, and direct application for real people facing mixed chapters, painful obedience, deep grief, and future shaping decisions. What chapter feels most like your life right now: the wilderness, the mountain, the grave, or the well?

    3D AGO

    DAY 19: WHY REBEKAH?!

    DAY 19: WHY DOES ISAAC’S FUTURE DEPEND ON THIS MISSION? Why would Genesis spend one of its longest chapters on finding Isaac a wife? Because this is not romance first. It is covenant stewardship. It is a battle over the future of the promise. In this episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener takes you through Genesis 24 and shows why this mission mattered so deeply for Abraham, Isaac, and the covenant line. This matters because many people still make life shaping decisions by pressure, attraction, loneliness, fear, and hurry, then wonder why the future feels unstable. With rich Hebraic worldview, Ancient Near Eastern context, and real life application, this episode reveals why prayer, discernment, character, and covenant alignment matter more than chemistry, convenience, or panic. What decision in your life needs more prayer and less pressure right now?

  5. DAY 18: WHY BUY A GRAVE?

    5D AGO

    DAY 18: WHY BUY A GRAVE?

    WHY BUY A GRAVE? Why would Abraham buy a grave in a land God already promised him? Genesis 23 looks like a chapter about death, loss, and legal detail. It is actually one of the strongest pictures of faith in the Abraham story. In this episode, Dr. Shawn M. Greener shows how Abraham’s grief over Sarah, his purchase of the cave of Machpelah, and his willingness to pay full price reveal a faith that still acts when the promise is not yet fully visible.  This episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God explores Genesis 23 through biblical context, covenant theology, and Ancient Near Eastern background. You will see why burial mattered, why public integrity mattered, and why one costly piece of ground became a declaration that God’s word still stood. If you have ever had to trust God in a season that looked more like loss than fulfillment, this teaching will meet you right there.  More resources:  https://www.truewordfaithforlife.com The Bible Rebinder I Mentioned on the Podcast This is one of the three Bibles Melissa of MooseWorks Bible restored for me, beautifully rebound with a rugged new cover and exceptional attention to detail.

  6. Day 17: Why Would God Test Abraham Like This?

    6D AGO

    Day 17: Why Would God Test Abraham Like This?

    Day 17: Why Would God Test Abraham Like This? Genesis 22 is one of the most unsettling chapters in the Bible. God asks Abraham to surrender the very son He promised. So what is this chapter really about? Is it cruelty? Is it a test of blind obedience? Or is something far deeper happening on Mount Moriah? In this episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener walks through the Akedah with Hebraic and Ancient Near Eastern context, showing how Genesis 22 exposes idolatry, confronts false ideas about God, and reveals the Lord as the One who provides. This is a powerful Bible teaching on surrender, costly obedience, covenant maturity, and what happens when God touches the thing you have built your future around.

    APR 21

    Day 16: Why Did God Send Hagar Away?

    Day 16: Why Did God Send Hagar Away? Why does fulfilled promise still feel painful?  Genesis 21 gives us one of the most emotionally layered moments in Abraham’s story. Isaac is born, laughter fills the tent, and yet Hagar and Ishmael are sent into the wilderness. So what is God doing here? And what does this chapter say to people living with both gratitude and grief at the same time? In this episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener walks through Genesis 21 with Hebraic and Ancient Near Eastern context, showing how this chapter reveals covenant clarity, the cost of fear-driven decisions, the mercy of God in the wilderness, and the faithfulness of El Olam, the Everlasting God. If you have ever seen God answer prayer while still living with the consequences of past choices, this episode is for you.

    THE INESCAPABLE CONVERSATION

    THE INESCAPABLE CONVERSATION If your life went on trial today, would there be enough evidence to prove you belong to Yeshua? In this powerful episode, Dr. Shawn M. Greener confronts one of the hardest questions a follower of The Way can face. Not, “Do you claim Jesus?” but, “Does your real life show allegiance to Him?” This message cuts through labels, appearances, shame, and religious noise to expose what true witness actually looks like. If you’ve ever felt disqualified by your past, compromised in your walk, or convicted that your faith has become too private, this episode is for you. God doesn’t build His Kingdom with flawless people. He builds it with surrendered people.
