    6. The Nation Used to Restore (Genesis 12 - Deuteronomy)

    From one man to a nation—and from a nation, the hope of the world. In this episode of The Story & Study of Scripture, I walk us through Genesis 12 to Deuteronomy, tracing how God transforms Abraham’s unlikely family into His covenant people. Through slavery in Egypt, rescue at the Red Sea, covenant at Sinai, and wandering in the wilderness, God reveals both His relentless faithfulness and His redemptive plan. You’ll see how the Passover, the Law, and the tabernacle all point forward to Jesus — the true Lamb, the greater Moses, and the dwelling place of God. This isn’t just Israel’s story. It’s our story. And it all whispers His name. If you’ve ever been tempted to skip the Old Testament, this episode will help you rediscover why every chapter matters.

    5. The Creation & Corruption (Genesis 1 - 11)

    Why does the world feel so beautiful… and so broken? In this episode, we journey back to Genesis 1–11 — the beginning of everything. Before the pain, before the exile, before the flood… there was Eden. A garden filled with purpose, peace, and the presence of God. But the story doesn’t stay perfect for long. We’ll explore: ​ God’s original design for His Kingdom: His people, in His place, under His rule​ The serpent’s lie and humanity’s fall​ The first gospel promise (Genesis 3:15) and the search for the promised Headcrusher​ The tragic spiral of Cain, the flood, and Babel​ And how Jesus is the true and better Adam, the Ark of salvation, and the One who crushes the serpent for good Genesis 1–11 isn’t a myth or a prequel. It’s the foundation of the greatest story ever told — and every thread leads to Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the chaos… this episode will help you see that from the very beginning, He had a plan — and it includes you. One story. One Savior. And a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

    4. Mountain Covenants

    In today’s episode, we climb five biblical mountains — each echoing with covenant promises and the voice of God. From Eden to Ararat, Moriah to Sinai, and finally Zion, we trace the breathtaking story of Scripture through five major covenants that all point to one glorious summit: Jesus Christ. These aren’t just ancient agreements — they’re the backbone of redemptive history, revealing God’s relentless pursuit of His people. Whether it’s the mission in the garden, the rainbow after the flood, the ram on the mountain, the thunder of the Law, or the promise of an eternal King — every covenant finds its “Yes” in Christ. Join us as we explore: • God’s Covenant of Life in Eden • His mercy in the days of Noah • His promise through Abraham • His Law through Moses • His Kingdom through David This isn’t just a journey through Scripture — it’s an ascent toward hope, grace, and glory. And you’re invited. One story. One Savior. And a mountain of grace.

    3. The Dominant Theme of Scripture

    Welcome back to The Story & Study of Scripture, where we don’t just study the Bible—we live it. If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible is really about, this episode is your invitation to see the big picture clearly—maybe for the first time. Because the Bible isn’t just a series of moral stories or spiritual lessons. It’s one unified story with one dominant theme: 👉 The Kingdom of God — God’s People, in God’s Place, under God’s Rule. In this episode, we explore how this kingdom theme frames the entire biblical narrative: ​ From Eden to New Jerusalem​ From Paradise lost to Paradise restored​ From the promise of a Redeemer to the return of the King With insights from Nancy Guthrie, Craig Bartholomew, N.T. Wright, and others, we trace the symmetry and tension of the Bible’s story and uncover how Jesus is the turning point of the Kingdom—already inaugurated, but not yet fully revealed. You’ll learn how this theme isn’t just theology—it’s identity. We are the people of the Kingdom, called to live today as citizens of heaven. So join us as we unpack the thread that ties the whole Bible together—and discover where your story fits in God’s greater story.

    2. The Extended Versions

    Welcome back to The Story & Study of Scripture, where we don’t just learn the Bible—we step into it. In this episode, we zoom out to see the Bible not as a random mix of stories, but as one grand narrative told in four extended movements: Creation. Corruption. Crucifixion. Completion. From Genesis to Revelation, we trace how the story of Scripture unfolds—from the garden to the city, from dust to glory, from ruin to resurrection. But knowing the story isn’t enough—we also need to study it well. That’s where the four study pillars come in: Scripture. Tradition. Reason. Experience. These aren’t just academic categories—they’re living tools to help you engage the Bible with depth, clarity, and transformation. In this extended version of our core framework, we explore how each pillar guides us to read Scripture faithfully and fruitfully. So whether you’re new to the Bible or have read it for years, this episode invites you to enter the story more fully—and to study it with both reverence and joy. Subscribe now, share the episode, and stay rooted in the Word that’s alive. This isn’t just a book—it’s your invitation into eternity.
