Episode #183 of the Christ is All podcast is too important to miss, so we’re putting it front and center today. The episode contains a message called “THE MESSAGE THAT... Read more

Amy Peeler’s commentary on Hebrews is yet another book I’ve cited in my upcoming volume, The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded, due out in 2025. Peeler’s commentary on the book of Hebrews in the Commentaries for Christian Formation series is a rich and insightful resource. Peeler provides a fresh perspective on this complex New Testament text, making it accessible for modern readers while still faithfully unpacking its profound theological depth. Right from the introduction, Peeler... Read more

The Zondervan Thompson Chain Reference NKJV Bible, premium goatskin leather cover edition is an absolute treasure. Out of all the premium Bibles I own (17 currently), I rank this one in the top three.   From the moment you pick it up, you can feel the quality oozing from this Bible. The goatskin cover has an incredibly soft and supple feel, yet it’s durable and will age beautifully over time, developing that rich patina that proves it’s a well-loved Bible.... Read more

With movies. And with other forms of art.

I mean the connection... Read more

Frank: Why does your ministry, particularly your books, blog posts, and podcasts, appeal to so many Christians in their 20s and 30s and young-hearted 40s? Answer: Based on comments made by so many of them, it’s a combination of 4 things: 1. The serious Jesus followers in that age group are looking for depth, not what’s shallow or superficial. “Academic” isn’t depth, by the way. Spiritual reality is something different, and my ministry focuses on it. Modern Christianity, in general,... Read more
