Biblical literacy is declining—not just in broader culture, but even among faithful churchgoers. Has an overly seeker-sensitive approach weakened our discipleship? In this episode, we explore why deep engagement with Scripture matters and how churches can retrain their people to read, understand, and love the Bible.
Plus, a surprising announcement: a “conservative, family-friendly” Super Bowl halftime alternative featuring Kid Rock is headed to Trinity Broadcast Network. We unpack why this is a bigger—and more troubling—deal than it might first appear.
All that, and we reveal the new must-have item at every party.

Episode 378: Challenging Parts of the Bible - Romans 13
Our new Bible series this year focuses on passages of Scripture that can be difficult to navigate or know what to do with. This month, we take a closer look at Romans 13, examining how Paul understands the role of government and how Christians are called to approach faithfulness and obedience to the law.
This passage has often been used to silence dissent—but is that truly Paul’s intent, or is there a more faithful and nuanced way to read it?

Episode 377: Protests in Worship
Last week we saw news of ICE protesters in Minnesota coming into a church worship space to protest. We wrestle with not just this news but is it ok to protest in worship under any circumstance … even if you agree with the message of the protesters?
