    Bible Explorer 13: Peter, Do You Love Me?

    Jesus asked Peter three times, "Do you love me?" And Peter replied that he did love Jesus. But he used a different word for love than Jesus used! Does that matter? What should we think about the way John records this conversation, and why is it important for us today?

    Bible Explorer 12: Right In Their Own Eyes

    The final chapters of the book of Judges are some of the most difficult and disturbing in the Bible. They are not for the faint of heart: violence, sexual assault, idolatry, and even kidnapping. What's going on with God's people? We'll discuss Judges 17-21 in this episode.

  6. Bible Explorer 11: The Virgin Will Conceive

    07/31/2019

    Bible Explorer 11: The Virgin Will Conceive

    Matthew 1:23 says that Jesus was born of a virgin. Matthew was quoting Isaiah 7:14. But when you read Isaiah 7, it doesn't seem like he was talking about Jesus, or even about some future baby who would be born to a virgin! So what's going on? Is Matthew misusing the Old Testament? We'll explore that in detail in this episode.

  7. Bible Explorer 10: Go On Up, Baldy!

    07/15/2019

    Bible Explorer 10: Go On Up, Baldy!

    Why did the prophet Elisha summon two vicious bears to maul 42 boys, when it seems like their only crime was making fun of his baldness? Was he especially sensitive about his appearance? Was this a disproportional response to a relatively minor offense? We'll explore this incident from 2 Kings 2:23-25 in this week's episode.

    Bible Explorer 9: Spirits In Prison

    1 Peter 3:18-22 is one of the most unusual and difficult passages in the New Testament. It says that Jesus went and preached to the "spirits in prison." Who are the spirits in prison? What did Jesus say to them? And why did Peter even bring this up in the first place?

  9. Bible Explorer 8: Leviathan

    06/25/2019

    Bible Explorer 8: Leviathan

    The book of Job describes a fearsome sea creature called Leviathan. What is it? A dragon? Will you run across one this summer at the beach? We talk in this episode about Leviathan: what it isn't, and (maybe) what it is. And why it even matters.
