Welcome to Life Lessons w/ Pastor David, the official Bible study podcast of The Life Church Apostolic in Newport News, VA. Join Pastor David Makell as we dive deep into the Word of God to uncover the life Jesus promised in John 14:6. Each episode explores Scripture with clarity, passion, and practical insight—helping believers grow in faith, walk in truth, and experience the abundant life found only in Christ. Whether you’re a seasoned saint or new to the faith, this podcast is for anyone hungry to know God more and live His Word every day.
In this episode of Life Lessons, Pastor David Makell walks through Genesis 3 — the chapter where everything changed. What began as a conversation in the garden became the fall of humanity as another voice challenged the voice of God. Through a narrative, verse-by-verse breakdown, we explore temptation, deception, shame, fear, blame, and the devastating consequences of sin entering the human story.

Are You Actually Saved???
Most people think they’re good with God… but few have actually stopped to ask why.
In this episode of Life Lessons, we’re breaking down what salvation really is—not religion, not church attendance, but God’s actual plan for humanity.
We talk about:
• Why sin is a bigger issue than most people realize
• Why being a “good person” isn’t enough
• What Jesus actually did for us
• And how you can know—not guess—that you’re truly saved
This isn’t about fear.
It’s about clarity.
Because being confident isn’t the same as being right.

Where Did We Get The Bible?
Where did the Bible come from? Can we trust it? Why these 66 books and not others?
In this episode of our Back to Basics series, we explore the Bible’s origin, structure, and the process by which its books were recognized as God’s Word. You’ll hear the story of how a lost goat led to one of the greatest manuscript discoveries in history—the Dead Sea Scrolls—and why that discovery matters today. We also unpack the difference between inspiration and dictation, and how prophecy, archaeology, and manuscript evidence support the reliability of Scripture.
Whether you’re new to the faith or looking to strengthen your foundation, this conversation will help you trust the Bible more deeply—and apply it more faithfully.
