    1482. Reciprocity, Grace, and Why Jesus Disrupted the Social Order | Cultural Keys to Reading the New Testament

    When we hear the word gift, we usually think “no strings attached.” But that’s not how the ancient world worked — especially in the New Testament. In this episode of Cultural Keys, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores reciprocity: how gifts, meals, and hospitality created obligation, loyalty, and relationship in the biblical world. Why was table fellowship so controversial?Why did Jesus eating with the “wrong people” cause outrage?And how does this reshape the way we understand grace?Jesus didn’t abolish reciprocity — he reoriented it, relocating obligation from social systems to trust in God’s ultimate repayment. This episode will change how you read the Gospels, Paul, and the early church. #bible #podcast #biblestudy #faith #jesus #christ #books #grace #scripture #wordofgod #christianeducation #christian #christianity #scholarship #newtestament #question #culture #hermeneutics ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 ***Subscribe to our GlossaHouse Digital Libraries for access to incredible resources - https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library📓 ------ Get What You Need for Serious Bible Study at https://glossahouse.com/🎤 Subscribe to GlossaHouse's podcast, ProveText, for a plethora of great in-depth teachings and discussions: ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiR🍎 iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462💻 Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0bf4a019-6adc-4766-bc90-c74df78f3720/provetext😃Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse👍Twitter - https://twitter.com/glossahouse❤️TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouse🎲Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/📸YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@glossahouse🧲Rumble - https://www.rumble.com/user/GlossaHouse

    1481. A Hard Week, a Finished Book, and a Cosmic Claim | Sabbatical Insider w/ Dr. Fred Long

    In this episode of Sabbatical Insider, Dr. Fredrick J. Long reflects on a difficult week marked by stress, controversy, chronic pain, and the emotional toll of public discourse — even while on sabbatical.He shares the completion of his fantasy novel The Last Silver Snail, discusses the unexpected realities of faculty life (yes, syllabi are still due), explores the growth of Gamma Rho Kappa Greek Honor Society among young students, and wrestles with the question of whether to teach during sabbatical. The episode culminates in a fascinating look at Philippians 2 and Ephesians — asking: Who are the “heavenly, earthly, and subterranean” beings who bow at the name of Jesus? Drawing on ancient cosmology, Greek terminology, submission iconography, and Isaiah 45, Dr. Long presents a provocative reading: Paul is not merely describing worship — he may be describing the submission of rival divinities. This is a behind-the-scenes look at scholarship, spiritual struggle, creativity, and calling.

    1480. Rethinking Immigration Through the Old Testament with Dr. David Firth

    In this ProveText Podcast conversation, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb sits down with Old Testament scholar Dr. David Firth (Trinity College Bristol) to discuss foreigners, immigrants, and belonging in the Old Testament—especially across Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. Dr. Firth challenges the common assumption that the Old Testament is broadly hostile toward foreigners and argues that the biblical story consistently centers loyalty to YHWH over ethnicity as the defining marker of God’s people. Along the way, they discuss Rahab, Caleb, Jael, Uriah the Hittite, Elijah, and more—and why modern immigration debates often flatten biblical categories into political talking points. Topics include: - Are “foreigners” consistently portrayed negatively in the Old Testament? - Rahab, Achan, and the question: Who belongs to God’s people? - Key Hebrew terms for “foreigner/sojourner” and why context matters - Why “legal vs illegal” can distract from the deeper biblical question: what is just? - A fresh take on ḥerem (חרם) as renunciation/devotion rather than simply “destruction”- Refugee language and why modern labels can cause Christians to talk past each other Resources mentioned: 👉Hope for the World from the Old Testament (Festschrift for Gordon McConville): https://glossahouse.com/products/hope-for-the-world-from-the-old-testament 👉Trinity College Bristol faculty page for Dr. David Firth: https://www.trinitycollegebristol.ac.uk/staff/revd-dr-david-firth-bth-ma-phd/ #podcast #bible #scholar #scripture #christ #jesus #jesuschrist #interview #politics #culture #immigration #news #ice #justice #world #books #faith #education #educational #educationalvideo #god #interesting #international #christian #christianity #theology #doctrine #scholarship ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 ***Subscribe to our GlossaHouse Digital Libraries for access to incredible resources - https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library📓 ------ Get What You Need for Serious Bible Study at https://glossahouse.com/🎤 Subscribe to GlossaHouse's podcast, ProveText, for a plethora of great in-depth teachings and discussions: ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiR🍎 iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462💻 Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0bf4a019-6adc-4766-bc90-c74df78f3720/provetext😃Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse👍Twitter - https://twitter.com/glossahouse❤️TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouse🎲Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/📸YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@glossahouse🧲Rumble - https://www.rumble.com/user/GlossaHouse

    1479. The Bible Was Never About “Me” | Cultural Keys to Reading the New Testament

    Modern readers often confuse biblical collectivism with modern political ideologies—but the ancient world wasn’t ideological, it was relational. In this episode of Cultural Keys, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explains how identity, obedience, blessing, and even sin were understood communally in the biblical world—and why Scripture constantly speaks in terms of family, people, and belonging, not isolated individuals. This isn’t about socialism or state control. It’s about kinship, covenant, and shared identity. #bible #biblestudy #podcast #collective #ideas #scripture #truthmatters #christ #jesus #faith #faithandlearning #jesuschrist #question #newtestament #church #politics #scholar #theology ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 ***Subscribe to our GlossaHouse Digital Libraries for access to incredible resources - https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library📓 ------ Get What You Need for Serious Bible Study at https://glossahouse.com/🎤 Subscribe to GlossaHouse's podcast, ProveText, for a plethora of great in-depth teachings and discussions: ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiR🍎 iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462💻 Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0bf4a019-6adc-4766-bc90-c74df78f3720/provetext😃Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse👍Twitter - https://twitter.com/glossahouse❤️TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouse🎲Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/📸YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@glossahouse🧲Rumble - https://www.rumble.com/user/GlossaHouse

    1478. Fishing, Fantasy, and Freedom in the Bible | Sabbatical Insider w/ Dr. Fredrick J. Long

    In this episode of Sabbatical Insider, Dr. Fredrick J. Long shares a behind-the-scenes look at what sabbatical really looks like—beyond rest, into creativity, reflection, and meaningful work. The episode begins with highlights from a fishing trip through Arizona and Lake Havasu, capturing moments of recreation, beauty, and unexpected success on the water. From there, Dr. Long walks viewers through progress on his fantasy–sci-fi novel The Last Silver Snail, including typesetting, image creation, and learning new creative tools to bring the story to life. He also reflects on the less visible but equally important aspects of sabbatical life: grading doctoral work, mentoring adjuncts, participating in faculty conversations, and responding to an invitation to contribute a devotional on freedom—a major biblical theme with deep theological, political, and social implications. This episode weaves together fishing, fantasy writing, and biblical reflection, offering an honest and thoughtful glimpse into the rhythms, joys, and tensions of sabbatical life. #bible #biblestudy #fishing #fish #nature #vlog #vlogs #vlogger #vlogging #vlogvideo #fantasy #novel #author #booktok #books #booktube #book #freedom #scholar #scholarship #devotional #faith #jesus #christ #christ #education #teacher #teaching #podcast ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 ***Subscribe to our GlossaHouse Digital Libraries for access to incredible resources - https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library📓 ------ Get What You Need for Serious Bible Study at https://glossahouse.com/🎤 Subscribe to GlossaHouse's podcast, ProveText, for a plethora of great in-depth teachings and discussions: ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiR🍎 iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462💻 Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0bf4a019-6adc-4766-bc90-c74df78f3720/provetext😃Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse👍Twitter - https://twitter.com/glossahouse❤️TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouse🎲Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/📸YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@glossahouse🧲Rumble - https://www.rumble.com/user/GlossaHouse

    1477. Faith, Illness & Relearning Greek | Story Time with Dr. Daniel B. Wallace

    In this up close and personal conversation, Dr. Dan Wallace opens up about his faith journey, a devastating health crisis that radically disrupted his memory, and the remarkable experience of having to relearn Greek—using his own textbook. Known worldwide for his work in biblical Greek and New Testament manuscripts, Dr. Wallace shares a side of his story that’s rarely told: suffering, perseverance, calling, and the discipline of lifelong learning. We talk about what it means to pursue scholarship as an act of faith, why biblical languages still matter, and how loss reshaped the way he teaches, studies, and serves the Church. This episode is not just about Greek or academia—it’s about vocation, endurance, and trusting God through seasons of weakness and rebuilding. #podcast #bible #jesus #christ #interview #biblestudy #languagelearning #scholarship #illness #testimony #faith #greek #education #god #godisgood #scripture #wordofgod #story #storytime #storytelling ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 ***Subscribe to our GlossaHouse Digital Libraries for access to incredible resources - https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library📓 ------ Get What You Need for Serious Bible Study at https://glossahouse.com/🎤 Subscribe to GlossaHouse's podcast, ProveText, for a plethora of great in-depth teachings and discussions: ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiR🍎 iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462💻 Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0bf4a019-6adc-4766-bc90-c74df78f3720/provetext😃Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse👍Twitter - https://twitter.com/glossahouse❤️TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouse🎲Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/📸YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@glossahouse🧲Rumble - https://www.rumble.com/user/GlossaHouseIn

    1476. Jesus vs. Empire: Power, Politics, & the Gospel | Cultural Keys to Reading the New Testament

    The Bible wasn’t written in a political vacuum—it was written under empire. In this episode of Cultural Keys, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores how concepts like empire, power, peace, and allegiance shaped the biblical world—and why the gospel of Jesus was a direct counterclaim to imperial rule. From Rome’s propaganda to Mark 1:1, from “Jesus is Lord” to the cross as a throne, this episode shows why Christianity isn’t anti-political—it’s politically disruptive. 👉 Who really rules? 👉 Where does true power come from? 👉 And why does the gospel still challenge every empire today? #faith #bible #biblestudy #christ #jesus #newtestament #podcast #empire #politics #christianeducation #facts #culture ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 ***Subscribe to our GlossaHouse Digital Libraries for access to incredible resources - https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library📓 ------ Get What You Need for Serious Bible Study at https://glossahouse.com/🎤 Subscribe to GlossaHouse's podcast, ProveText, for a plethora of great in-depth teachings and discussions: ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiR🍎 iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462💻 Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0bf4a019-6adc-4766-bc90-c74df78f3720/provetext😃Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse👍Twitter - https://twitter.com/glossahouse❤️TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouse🎲Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/📸YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@glossahouse🧲Rumble - https://www.rumble.com/user/GlossaHouse

    What does a sabbatical really look like? In this episode of Sabbatical Insider, Dr. Fredrick J. Long shares an honest update from his time away from the classroom — from fishing trips in Arizona and caring for his 90-year-old mother, to ongoing creative projects like The Last Silver Snail and an unfinished (but deeply important) commentary on Ephesians. Along the way, he reflects on the challenges of writing, typesetting, and revision, as well as long-standing research into Ephesians 2 and the New Testament’s complex relationship to power, authority, and political allegiance.This episode offers an insider’s view of sabbatical life — not as escape, but as space for reflection, creativity, and wrestling with big theological questions. #faith #jesus #christ #bible #professor #biblestudy #podcast #sabbatical #rest #fishing #fish #author #booktok #books #booktube #book #fiction #research #scholar ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 ***Subscribe to our GlossaHouse Digital Libraries for access to incredible resources - https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library📓 ------ Get What You Need for Serious Bible Study at https://glossahouse.com/🎤 Subscribe to GlossaHouse's podcast, ProveText, for a plethora of great in-depth teachings and discussions: ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiR🍎 iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462💻 Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0bf4a019-6adc-4766-bc90-c74df78f3720/provetext😃Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse👍Twitter - https://twitter.com/glossahouse❤️TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouse🎲Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/📸YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@glossahouse🧲Rumble - https://www.rumble.com/user/GlossaHouse
