    The Lions Aren’t Loose

    Start a conversation! Sometimes fear feels louder than faith. But what if the roar wasn’t the threat—it was the test? In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, Bible teacher Chris Reighley walks alongside Christian in The Pilgrim’s Progress as he approaches Palace Beautiful, guarded by terrifying lions. He’s ready to turn back… until he hears the truth: “They are chained.” Psalm 34:7 says, “The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them.” That means God’s protection is already in place—even when the enemy is making noise. If you’ve ever faced circumstances that made you want to retreat, this episode reminds you: the lions can’t leap unless you leave the path. Stay close to your Shepherd. Stay centered on His truth. The lions may roar, but they’re on a leash. 🎧 Listen now at ShoeLeatherGospel.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

    The Fall: How It All Went Wrong

    Start a conversation! Ever looked around and thought, “What happened to this world?” The answer goes back to a garden, a lie, and a single decision with cosmic consequences. In this episode of Walking with God, Bible teacher Chris Reighley unpacks Romans 5:12 and the true story behind the Fall in Genesis 3. Sin didn’t sneak into creation, it entered through the front door of human rebellion. And its ripple effects touch every life, every headline, and every heart. But The Pilgrim’s Progress reminds us: even in judgment, God speaks promise. Christian flees Destruction because he read the Book—and he knew the story wasn’t over. If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, confusion, or the brokenness around you, this episode will anchor you in the truth: the world isn’t as it should be, but God hasn’t left it that way.  The Fall explains the mess. But grace explains the hope. 🎧 Listen now at ShoeLeatherGospel.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

    Blessed Are Those Who Study Prophecy

    Start a conversation! Most blessings come with a catch. But not this one. In this episode of Footsteps of the Messiah, Bible teacher Chris Reighley uncovers the forgotten promise of Revelation 1:3—a blessing simply for reading, hearing, and keeping the words of prophecy. You don’t need a seminary degree or an end-times chart. You just need an open Bible and a willing heart. With fresh insight from The Pilgrim’s Progress, we’ll see how Christian’s journey was shaped by what he read in the Book. In the same way, prophecy isn’t designed to spook us—it’s meant to steady us. It magnifies Christ, clarifies our future, and calls us to walk in readiness. If you’ve ever avoided Revelation because it felt overwhelming, this episode will remind you: it’s not a mystery to decode—it’s a Savior to behold. 📖 Read it. Keep it. Be blessed by it. 🎧 Listen now at ShoeLeatherGospel.com or on your favorite podcast platform.

    Armor for the Anxious

    Start a conversation! Anxiety doesn’t knock—it barges in. With fear, fatigue, and a dozen “what ifs” in tow. In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, Bible teacher Chris Reighley walks us through the armor of God in Ephesians 6, and the moment Christian receives his spiritual armor in The Pilgrim’s Progress. Because the battlefield isn’t just out there—it’s in our minds, our emotions, and our daily struggles. God didn’t leave you exposed. He gave you armor, not for ceremony, but survival. And while the world says “try harder,” Scripture says “stand firm.” This episode is for every anxious heart looking for real peace, real strength, and real security. Not in yourself, but in the God who equips you to stand. You don’t have to fight unarmed. The armor’s ready. Suit up.

    The Cross That Broke the Chains

    Start a conversation! What if the guilt you’re dragging around has already been cut loose? In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, Bible teacher Chris Reighley brings us to one of the most powerful moments in The Pilgrim’s Progress: the Cross. It’s where Christian’s burden finally falls—and it’s where yours can too. Romans 8:1 opens with a liberating thunderclap: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That’s not wishful thinking—it’s gospel reality. The chains are broken. The burden is gone. And the enemy’s accusations have been silenced by grace. If shame still stalks your steps or if your past keeps trying to rewrite your story, this episode will remind you where true freedom is found. Jesus didn’t die to make your burden lighter—He died to lift it completely.

    The Interpreter’s House

    Start a conversation! Ever wish someone could help you make sense of your spiritual journey? In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, Bible teacher Chris Reighley walks us through the Interpreter’s House from The Pilgrim’s Progress, a place of vivid lessons, living metaphors, and soul-shaping truth. But the real interpreter? The Holy Spirit. Psalm 119:130 reminds us: “The unfolding of Your words gives light.” Scripture isn’t just information, it’s transformation. But to see what God is showing, you’ve got to slow down, listen deeply, and let the Spirit turn the lights on. This episode explores how God uses His Word and His Spirit to interpret your life from the inside out. Each room, each symbol, each season has something to teach… if you’re willing to pause and learn. Don’t rush your reading. Let the Word unfold.

    The Wicket Gate

    Start a conversation! Every journey begins at a door. In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, Bible teacher Chris Reighley leads us to the Wicket Gate—the narrow entryway to salvation in The Pilgrim’s Progress. It’s not flashy. It’s not popular. But it’s the only way in. Jesus said, “I am the door.” Not a door. The door. Through John 10:9, we’re reminded that access to abundant life doesn’t come through good intentions, religious effort, or spiritual wanderlust. It comes through a Person—Jesus Christ. The world may offer wide roads and open-ended spirituality, but the gospel stands firm: there’s only one way into the fold of God. The Gate is narrow, but the welcome is wide. If you’ve been circling the gate—or if you need help pointing others to it—this episode is your invitation to enter. Come to the Gate. He’s still open.

    The Hill That Crushed Me

    Start a conversation! Ever tried to “be good enough” for God—and collapsed under the pressure? In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, Bible teacher Chris Reighley takes us to the foot of a crushing hill: Mount Sinai. Drawing from Galatians 2:21 and The Pilgrim’s Progress, we explore what happens when you trade grace for performance and end up buried under guilt, exhaustion, and legalism. Christian, the pilgrim, tried the detour. So have many of us. But Paul’s words are clear: if righteousness comes by the Law, then Christ died for nothing. And that’s a hill too steep for any soul to climb. This episode is for every believer who’s tired of striving, ashamed of falling, and desperate for rest. You don’t have to prove yourself. Jesus already did. Stop climbing. Start trusting. Grace meets you at the bottom with nail-scarred hands and open arms.
