Were the prophets crazy? Often we see the prophets poetically describing unrealistic events, but like many poets, the prophets use poetic language to help the reader understand. So what does it mean to plant the wind? Were there sea monsters?

Let's Get Poetic

Marker 01

Zack forgets the gear

What is compartmentalization? 

Why we keep certain “rooms” private from Jesus

Money, politics, religion, family

Politeness ≠ faithfulness

When culture tries to rewrite the Bible

Marker 02

Paul’s take on cultural transformation

Randy’s sock-and-underwear metaphor

Mr. Walrus the pacifier & peer pressure

From Egypt to Babylon

Daniel’s cultural stand

Do we need a “wilderness” moment?

Zealous vs. jealous

Romans 12: Zeal as a lifestyle

Wrapping up: Jesus doesn’t want just a room

In this first episode of our new mini-series on compartmentalization, Randy and I take a deep dive into why we so often treat our lives like a house full of locked rooms—and why Jesus doesn’t want to just hang out in the foyer.

We explore how our culture says, “Don’t talk about religion, money, or politics,” but the Bible says Jesus is Lord over every single room, from finances to friendships, politics to professions. This episode sets the stage for a much bigger discussion on surrender, discipleship, and how to stop locking Jesus out of the uncomfortable corners of our lives.

This is your invitation to go room by room, and ask: have I really given this to Jesus?

Thanks for listening! Stay Stalty!

It's Time to Let God Rule Every Part of Your Life

Revisiting the Transfiguration

The overshadowing cloud

New Testament “covering” & Greek word study 

Old Testament coverings

Is “covering” always good?

Jonah, death imagery, & Christ’s coverings

Psalm 91

Abraham’s covenant

Covering is a state of being

The Ark of the Covenant

The new covering of the Holy Spirit

Final reflections

Paul’s teaching on head coverings

Have you ever stopped to ask what it really means when we say “God has us covered”? Is it just a nice phrase, or does it point to something far more powerful—something that reaches all the way back to the Garden of Eden, through the Old Testament tabernacle, and straight to the cross?

In this mind-bending episode, Randy and I dive headfirst into the rich biblical imagery of covering—from the cloud on the mountain at the Transfiguration to the curtain in the temple being torn in two, and all the way to the empty tomb flanked by angels like the Ark of the Covenant.

We explore how this idea of covering ties directly into God’s authority, our identity in Christ, and the very foundation of salvation.

💥 “What you’re covered by is what defines you—and it’s the lens through which God sees you.”

This episode isn’t just a deep dive—it’s a theological roller coaster. Buckle up, because by the end, you’ll never look at the words covering, atonement, or righteousness the same way again.

God Has Got Us Covered. What Does That Mean?

Truth, knowledge, mourning, & more

Roman virtues vs. New Testament values

Jesus IS truth — not just a teacher of it

Why lies break everything

Satan as the father of lies

Gnosis and all the “know” words

Paul’s hunger to know Christ deeply

Relationship and knowing

Knowledge in the Great Commission

Transfiguration & what “overshadowed” means

God’s covering, Israel, and the Ark

Peter’s mistake & God’s simple command

Lady Wisdom 

Poor in spirit: Not weakness, but surrender

Brokenness & why God allows hard things

Mourning over sin

Mourning over a broken world

The virtues are *deeply* interconnected

Prayer in your head?

The virtues aren’t rules

Wrapping up the series with gratitude

Thanks for listening + send us your ideas!

This episode wraps up our Virtues Series with a bit of a hodgepodge. Randy and I dive into truth, knowledge, wisdom, and two often misunderstood Beatitudes: poor in spirit and those who mourn. We talk Roman philosophy, Greek word origins, and why it’s okay to start small when growing in your faith.

If you’ve ever wrestled with what it means to truly know God — or why mourning and brokenness can actually be blessings — this one’s for you.
