    1533. Why God Created Temples, Priests, and Sacrifices: The Story of God's Presence | Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb

    Many Christians assume the Old Testament is primarily about rules, restrictions, sacrifices, and barriers between God and humanity. But what if those things existed for the exact opposite reason? In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores one of the Bible's most important themes: God's relentless desire to dwell with His people. From Eden to the Tabernacle, from the Temple to Jesus, Scripture tells the story of a God who continually moves toward humanity—even after humanity moves away from Him. Why did God's presence become dangerous after Genesis 3? What were priests, sacrifices, and purity laws actually accomplishing? And how does Jesus restore what was lost in Eden? Join us as we trace the story of God's presence across Scripture and discover why the Old Testament may not be what you think it is. #bible #podcast #jesus #faith #christ #christianeducation #christian #oldtestament #biblestudy #devotional #scholar #god Study deeper with GlossaHouse:🌐 https://glossahouse.com📚 Classes (GlossaHouse U):https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 Digital Libraries:https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library🎧 Listen to ProveText:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiRApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462📲 Follow GlossaHouse:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse

    1532. Why Your Prayers Matter More Than You Think | The Ministry of Intercession with Dr. Fred Long

    Do our prayers really make a difference? In this episode of Sabbatical Insider, Dr. Fredrick J. Long reflects on the ministry of intercession while giving viewers a glimpse inside Asbury Theological Seminary, including the Richard Allen Chapel and his office in the Beeson Center. Drawing from Andrew Murray's classic work The Ministry of Intercession, Fred explores Christ's ongoing intercession, the power of prayer, and why believers should never underestimate the spiritual significance of praying for others.

    1531. God Is Funny? Humor, Satire, and the Bible | Conversation with Dr. Terry Lindvall (Part 1)

    Most Christians read the Bible far too seriously. But what if Scripture contains far more humor, irony, satire, and laughter than we've been taught to see? In this conversation, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb sits down with humor scholar Dr. Terry Lindvall to explore the hidden comedy of the Bible—from Sarah's laughter and Noah's drunkenness to Jewish humor, biblical irony, and the surprising ways God uses humor throughout Scripture. Why do we miss so much of the Bible's humor? Did God intend for His people to laugh? And what happens when we rediscover the joy, playfulness, and humanity woven into the biblical story? This is Part 1 of a fascinating conversation on humor, satire, and the Bible. 📚 Dr. Terry Lindvall's book: God Mocks: A History of Religious Satire from the Hebrew Prophets to Stephen Colbert: https://a.co/d/02BTQlob 🔔 Subscribe for Part 2, where we explore Christian satire, church history, Luther, holy mockery, and why Christians used to be a lot funnier. #jesus #podcast #humor #funny #comedy #bible #christ #booktok #history #faith #interview #scholar #biblestudy #joy #jokes Study deeper with GlossaHouse:🌐 https://glossahouse.com📚 Classes (GlossaHouse U):https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 Digital Libraries:https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library🎧 Listen to ProveText:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiRApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462📲 Follow GlossaHouse:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse

    1530. Holiness Isn’t What You Think It Is | Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb

    Most Christians define holiness as "being set apart." But what if that's not how Scripture introduces holiness at all? In this episode of the ProveText Podcast, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores holiness through the lens of Genesis and the broader biblical story. Rather than beginning with moral behavior, the Bible begins with God's presence. From Eden to the Tabernacle, from the Temple to Christ, Scripture repeatedly asks one question: How can humanity dwell with God again? Discover why holiness is less about trying harder and more about drawing nearer. #bible #biblestudy #jesus #jesuschrist #christ #faith #christianeducation #christian #christianity #scholar #Holiness #BibleStudy #Genesis #ChristianTheology #ProveText #MichaelHalcomb #BiblicalTheology #BiblePodcast #ChristianLiving #GodsPresenceStudy deeper with GlossaHouse:🌐 https://glossahouse.com📚 Classes (GlossaHouse U):https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 Digital Libraries:https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library🎧 Listen to ProveText:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiRApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462📲 Follow GlossaHouse:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse

    1529. Do Dogs Go to Heaven? Reflections on Death, Grief, and the Afterlife | Dr. Fredrick J. Long

    Today’s episode is a deeply personal one. Fred reflects on the passing of his beloved dog, Callie, after fifteen years together. As he processes grief, he explores some of Christianity’s biggest questions: What happens when we die? Do believers immediately go to be with the Lord? Is "soul sleep" biblical? And what hope, if any, might there be for the animals we love? Drawing from passages like 1 Thessalonians 4, 2 Corinthians 5, Philippians 1, Romans 8, and Ephesians 2, Fred shares his thoughts on life after death, resurrection, and the hope Christians have in Christ. This is not a technical lecture—it’s a personal reflection on loss, faith, and the promise of God's future. #jesus #podcast #bible #faith #christ #biblestudy #theology #dog #dogs #grief #death #scholar #vlog #vlogging #christianlife #christianeducation #christian #christianity #jesuschrist #heaven Study deeper with GlossaHouse:🌐 https://glossahouse.com📚 Classes (GlossaHouse U):https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 Digital Libraries:https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library🎧 Listen to ProveText:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiRApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462📲 Follow GlossaHouse:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse

    1528. What Happens When Christian Leaders Disagree? | 1 Cor 1:12–13 | The Corinth Conversations #7

    What happens when Christians start choosing sides? In this episode of Corinth Conversations, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb and Dr. Fredrick J. Long explore one of the earliest leadership crises in the church. Why were believers saying, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Cephas"? Was this simply a disagreement—or something deeper? Together they unpack 1 Corinthians 1:12–13 and discuss church division, leadership, baptism, status, Christian celebrity culture, and why Paul's response remains surprisingly relevant today. 📖 Passage: 1 Corinthians 1:12–13 #jesus #podcast #faith #bible #christ #scripture #biblestudy #theology #scholar #christianeducation #christianlife #christian #christianity Study deeper with GlossaHouse:🌐 https://glossahouse.com📚 Classes (GlossaHouse U):https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 Digital Libraries:https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library🎧 Listen to ProveText:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiRApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462📲 Follow GlossaHouse:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse

    1527. How to Understand the Entire Bible in Five Acts | Dr T. Michael W. Halcomb

    Can the entire Bible really be summarized in just five words? Many Christians know the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, and Paul—but struggle to explain how those stories fit together into one unified narrative. In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb presents a simple framework that helps make sense of the entire Bible: • Creation • Decreation • Recreation • New Creation • Co-Creation From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells one story: God refusing to abandon His creation and pursuing His purposes despite human failure. If you've ever wanted a clearer understanding of the Bible's overarching message, this episode is for you. #jesus #podcast #faith #bible #christ #scholar #scripture #creation #christianeducation #christian #jesuschrist #teaching #biblestudy #provetext #glossahouse Study deeper with GlossaHouse:🌐 https://glossahouse.com📚 Classes (GlossaHouse U):https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 Digital Libraries:https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library🎧 Listen to ProveText:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiRApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462📲 Follow GlossaHouse:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse

    1526. Is Academic Writing Just Elitism? | Sabbatical Insider w/ Dr. Fredrick J. Long

    Is academic writing just intellectual showmanship? In this episode of Sabbatical Insider, Dr. Fredrick J. Long reflects on a surprising criticism he recently received—that academic writing is elitist—and uses it as a starting point to explore the purpose of scholarship itself. Fresh off completing the latest issue of the Journal of Inductive Biblical Studies and celebrating the publication of his devotional contribution to Altars of Freedom, Fred takes viewers behind the scenes of academic publishing and explains what actually goes into producing serious research. Along the way, he explores the ancient roots of scholarship, the Library of Alexandria, the editorial process behind academic journals, and why scholars continue to devote themselves to careful study, writing, and publication. Why do people spend years researching subjects most will never notice? Is scholarship simply about credentials and prestige—or is it about serving others through truth, accuracy, and understanding? Join Fred for an honest look at the value of academic work and why it still matters today. #jesus #podcast #faith #bible #christ #biblestudy #theology #scholar #history #elite #vlog #research #books #booktok #booktube #author #typesetting #publishing #journal Study deeper with GlossaHouse:🌐 https://glossahouse.com📚 Classes (GlossaHouse U):https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 Digital Libraries:https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library🎧 Listen to ProveText:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiRApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462📲 Follow GlossaHouse:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse
