    How to Read the 4 Gospels as One Seamless Story

    In this special "interlude" episode of the Midweek Move, Dallas shares a quick but powerful recommendation for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the Gospels found in New Testament. If you have ever felt confused trying to connect the dots between Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, this episode is for you. Dallas introduces a specific tool that helps believers read the four Gospels not as separate, conflicting accounts, but as one seamless, 3D narrative of the life of Jesus. Topics Covered: -The Challenge of the Synoptic Gospels: Why reading four different perspectives can sometimes be confusing for new believers.  - The Solution: Introduction to "A Harmony of the Gospels"—a resource that lays out the Gospels side-by-side.  - Chronological Clarity: How this tool resolves apparent contradictions by showing the correct timeline of events.  - A "3D" Jesus: Moving beyond a flat character study to seeing the complex personality of our Savior through four distinct lenses (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).  Resources Mentioned: A Harmony of the Gospels (Available in NASB, NIV, CSB, and other translations).  Connect with The Healing Place: This podcast is an extension of The Healing Place in Shreveport, Louisiana. We are a real-life church that meets every Sunday at 10:00 AM and Wednesdays at 6:30 PM CST.  Website: thpshreveport.com  Need Prayer or Have Questions?

    Why Scholars Debate the Ending of Mark's Gospel

    Join Dallas and Carlos as they conclude their study of the Gospel of Mark by exploring the "longer ending" of chapter 16. In this episode, they tackle the textual theories surrounding these verses, the historical reliability of the New Testament, and the profound commission Jesus gave His followers before His ascension. From the disbelief of the disciples to the miraculous signs that followed the early church, this discussion highlights the authority of Christ and the call to take the Gospel to all creation. Listen as we discuss: The textual history of Mark 16 and why the New Testament remains the most reliable ancient document in existence. The appearances of Jesus to Mary Magdalene and the two travelers, noting the disciples' initial struggle with unbelief. The "spiritual scatterbrain" and chaos the disciples felt in the days following the crucifixion. Jesus’ rebuke of the Eleven for their hardness of heart and His subsequent command to preach the Gospel to the whole world. The spiritual significance of baptism as an outward proclamation of an internal immersion in Christ. Understanding "signs" like healing and protection as miracles that follow believers rather than commands to be forced. The theological importance of the Ascension and Jesus sitting at the "right hand of God" as a position of ultimate authority and intercession. ========== 🎙️ The Healing Place Church | Midweek Move Podcast The Midweek Move is a Bible Study podcast extension of The Healing Place, a church based in Shreveport, Louisiana.

    Why Is the Resurrection the Foundation of Faith? | Mark 16 Study

    The Power of the Resurrection (Mark chapter 16 verses 1 through 8)  Join Dallas and Carlos as they dive into the opening verses of Mark 16 to discuss the most significant event in history. They examine the devotion of the women who arrived at the tomb, the cultural weight of the Sabbath laws, and the profound implications of the empty tomb for every believer. This episode highlights the call for men to step into spiritual leadership and the beautiful grace shown in Peter's restoration. Listen as we discuss: - The faithfulness of Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome as they prepared to honor Jesus despite their grief. - A challenge to men to reject passivity and embrace the responsibilities God has given them in the home and the church. - The role of discipline and doing what is right, even when it is not immediately rewarding or convenient. - The theological necessity of the resurrection: proving Jesus is exactly who He said He was. - How the resurrection provides "newness of life," allowing the old self to die so we can rise as new creations. - The specific mention of Peter by the messenger signals God’s heart to restore those who have turned away. - The historical authenticity of using women as the first witnesses in an ancient culture which adds credibility to the Gospel account. ==========  🎙️ The Healing Place Church | Midweek Move Podcast The Midweek Move is a Bible Study podcast extension of The Healing Place, a church based in Shreveport, Louisiana.
