Our culture is a riptide.

I’m talking about that almost irresistible pull the world has on our hearts—those moments when the world’s alternatives to trusting God are easy and available—but deceptive.

We know they are lies, so how can we stand strong and live lives of obedience?

This episode of Live the Bible will show us how to stay firm in our love for Jesus Christ.

When you seek answers, where do you look? (Besides Google.)

It’s tough to break old habits. Whether it’s cultural bias or preconceived notions, many of us struggle to step outside of our comfortable orbits to gain a larger point of view.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we'll look at the seemingly outdated customs found in Leviticus 18 and 19 and find there some surprising lessons. Our challenge is to look beyond what's familiar into the place where answers are actually found.

Can you imagine seeing a list of all your sins? I mean every single sin you have done–and will do? For some of us, we’d be holding a ream of paper the size of a New York phone book!

Now imagine all those sins GONE.

Every one.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we're looking at the good news that God has provided a way for all sins to be gone. We can move from condemned by God to accepted by God.

Something is missing.

For most of the world, feeling “whole” is like trying to squeeze a handful of sand. The harder they clinch, the more grains slip through their fingers. Wholeness is a futile quest.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll look at an often confusing part of the Old Testament that talks about people being unclean. (It has nothing to do with soap, and it also has nothing necessarily to do with sin.)

It has everything to do with walking with God as a whole person. That is what’s missing.

Have you noticed how much space the Old Testament devotes to talking about food?

Even though the dietary restrictions and kosher laws seem irrelevant for our lives today, there’s a lot we can learn from these sections of Scripture.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re looking past the dinner plate to what these words have to do with us. (Spoiler: A LOT.).

What does the Bible actually say about Israel, and what does that mean for Christians today?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we hear from Dr. Michael Rydelnik, a radio host, teacher at Moody Bible Institute, and Messianic Jew, and look at one of the most debated topics among Christians today: how should followers of Jesus understand Israel?

This conversation goes beyond headlines and political opinions to examine what Scripture says about God’s promises to Abraham, Israel’s place in God’s plan, and why some Christians believe the church has replaced Israel.

Today’s prevailing opinion tells you that as long as you’re sincere, you have a seat at God’s table.

As long as your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds, the Almighty will give you a thumb’s up. But that’s not quite right, is it?

Jesus’ words, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” may sound restrictive. But if He’s right, His words are actually the key to all of life.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll consider how Jesus’ outrageous words are actually the key to discovering true peace and joy.
