Understanding the Law Part 1: The LAW
Episode 2
Understanding the Law Part 1: The LAW
In this episode, Tim and Jon go deeper into the themes introduced in our video, The Law. What is the purpose of the Old Testament law, and what does it have to do with Christians today? The guys will talk about how the laws were given to the ancient Israelites and how they contribute to a larger narrative about human nature and Gods plan for creation. Theres a lot to unpack here, and theres definitely something we can learn by understanding these ancient commands. In the first part of the episode (01:28-22:02), the guys talk about some of the issues with calling the first five books of the Bible, or the Torah, the law. These books contain laws for the people of Israel, but torah actually means teachings or guidance. Even the laws that you do find are usually in a narrative structure. In the last part of the episode (22:16-47:03), the guys talk about the purpose of the law. The law wasnt given to the whole world; it was given for the covenant people of Israel. The reason they exist was so that Israel would be set apart from other nations and God could bless all of the nations through them.

Understanding The Law Part 2: The Prophets
Episode 3
Understanding The Law Part 2: The Prophets
In this episode, the guys continue their discussion of the law with a look at the prophets. The prophetic books in the Bible are an interesting follow up to the Torah. The prophets seemed to really be getting at Gods heart behind the law, and they were desperate to see Israel come out of their rebellion. Tim and Jon will wrap up their discussion by looking at Jesus response to the law. He was the answer to Old Testament prophecies, but he didnt come to get rid of the law, Jesus came to fulfill it. As Jesus followers, we have to wrestle with what this means for us. In the first part of the episode (00:56-12:18), the guys talk about Jeremiah and Ezekiels response to Israels disobedience. They warned of consequences to rebellion, but their primary message was the radical heart change that needed to take place. In the next part of the episode (12:33-21:30), Tim and Jon talk about Jesus challenging the common interpretations of the law in the Gospels. He boiled down all of Gods commands to the great command: love God and love people. Jesus wasnt focused on the letter of the law, but the heart behind it. The religious leaders of the day had becoming totally wrapped up in legalism and had lost sight of the purpose behind the laws. In the next part of the episode (21:46-33:57), the guys discuss the central debate of the New Testament: should Jesus followers have to follow the commands even if they arent Jewish? The apostles were divided on this, and its a question that Paul comes back to throughout his letters. In the final part of the episode (34:12-50:05), the guys wrap things up with a discussion on what the law should mean for Jesus followers today. Though these laws likely wont affect our day-to-day lives, there is profound wisdom to be gained, especially when we understand Gods purpose for giving them. When we look at the context the laws were given in, we can see Gods heart for his people and his creation. Video: This episode is designed to accompany our video called, "The Law."

The Kingdom of God Part 1: The Kingdom of God Is the Gospel, starting from Genesis 1
Episode 4
The Kingdom of God Part 1: The Kingdom of God Is the Gospel, starting from Genesis 1
In this episode, Tim and Jon look at a key Biblical theme that traces throughout the entire Biblethe Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is central to Jesus message, but it can be confusing to understand completely. The guys will discuss why Jesus talked about the Kingdom so much and what that should mean to us as Jesus followers. Before they dive into the discussion, Tim will give a brief explanation of the concept of the Kingdom and its introduction into Scripture in Genesis 1. In the first part of the episode (01:05-07:00), Tim and Jon talk about Jesus message in the Gospels. The New Testament authors boiled down Jesus message to, repent, for the Kingdom of God is near. We tend to think of Jesus as a moral teacher, but his lessons on morality and love only make sense if the Kingdom of God and his reign are coming to change the world. In the next part of the episode (07:20-14:02), the guys talk about what it means for the reign of God to arrive in Jesus. The image of God is an idea in Scripture that is connected to this Kingdom, and both of these ideas are anchored in Genesis 1. In the final part of the episode (14:24-29:18), the guys look at what it means for Gods Kingdom to be seen through humans. Psalm 8 is a poetic reflection on Genesis 1 and humanitys role in Gods creation. God rules the world through humans, and human rule is tied to being made in Gods image.

The Kingdom of God Part 2: Co-Ruling with Jesus
Episode 5
The Kingdom of God Part 2: Co-Ruling with Jesus
In this episode, Tim and Jon discuss Jesus authority over heaven and earth and what it means for humans to rule with Jesus. The guys talk about what it will be like for Gods Kingdom to be fully realized. The Bible tells us that Gods Kingdom arrived in Jesus, but the fullness of that Kingdom is yet to come. What went wrong with the establishment of Gods Kingdom, and how does he plan to fix it? In the first part of the episode (01:22-13:20), Tim and Jon talk about Jesus as the one who has authority over heaven and earth. What does this mean exactly, and how are humans invited into this with Jesus? In the next part of the episode (13:40-17:29), the guys talk about the New Jerusalem thats introduced in Revelation 22:1-5. This is a key passage in understanding how humans will serve and reign with Jesus in Gods Kingdom. In the next part of the episode (18:02-23:22), the guys look at how God responds to humans setting up their own kingdoms. In the book of Genesis, we see that humans keep getting in the way of Gods plan. Gods covenant promise with Abraham and the children of Israel was all about trying to correct what went wrong with God establishing his Kingdom on earth. In the final part of the episode (23:45-43:37), Tim and Jon talk about Israels many rebellionstheir rejection of Gods Kingdom and the creation of their own kingdoms. They take a look at God as King and how he challenges human kingdoms throughout the Bible. Finally, the guys talk about the tension between God being a King now but also one who will bring his Kingdom later. This is the now and not yet theology of the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom of God Part 3: God Vs. Kings
Episode 6
The Kingdom of God Part 3: God Vs. Kings
In this episode, the guys wrap up their discussion on the Kingdom of God. The biblical story ultimately becomes a clash between Gods Kingdom and human kingdoms. God responds to this rebellion throughout the Old Testament, but the good news of Jesus is that he came to bring the Kingdom again. What does this mean for us as followers of Jesus? In the first part of the episode (02:36-16:40), Tim and Jon talk about Jesus as King. What does it look like for Jesus to invite his followers to live under his reign in the upside-down Kingdom? In the last part of the episode (16:55-22:48), the guys continue to unpack this idea of the now and not yet Kingdom they introduced last time. There is incredible hope in the reality of Gods Kingdom. Death, injustice, and human failure are not the way the story ends! But joining in Gods Kingdom means resisting the kingdoms of the world and allowing Jesus to fully reign.

Heaven and Earth Part 1: What is the Old Testament referring to as "Heaven"?
Episode 7
Heaven and Earth Part 1: What is the Old Testament referring to as "Heaven"?
In this episode, Tim and Jon begin their conversation about heaven and earth starting in Genesis 1. This is the first time heaven" appears in the Bible. The heavens literally means the sky. Did the ancient Israelites think God lived in the sky? Maybe. The guys will talk more about this and what it means for Gods space and human space to overlap. In the first part of the episode (01:27-08:57), the guys talk about the idea that heaven is in the clouds. How did we get there? Tim will break down the Hebrew word for heaven and explain a bit more about what the ancient Israelites believed about Gods heavenly space. In the second part of the episode (09:17-18:59), the guys will talk about the significance of temples for the ancient Israelites. Temples were the place where the divine and human space overlapped, and this was incredibly important to the ancient Israelites. In the next part of the episode (19:19-25:15), Tim and Jon talk about Jesus as the ultimate meeting place of heaven and earth. Throughout the gospels, Jesus calls himself the temple of God and makes clear that he is Gods temple presence made accessible for humanity. In the final part of the episode (25:45-40:57), the guys talk about the ways we see this overlap between heaven and earth throughout Scripture. We see it through Jesus, through visions of heaven, like Jacob has in Genesis 28, and ultimately we see it in the garden of Eden.

Heaven and Earth Part 2: When Heaven Meets Earth
Episode 8
Heaven and Earth Part 2: When Heaven Meets Earth
In this episode, Tim and Jon continue their discussion from last time about what it means for God to be in the heavens and transcend humans. Theyll go a little bit deeper and talk about what it looks like for Gods space and human space to overlap. The biblical story begins with the mingling of these two spaces, and it was only after human rebellion that they became separated. The guys take a look at what Scripture says about heaven and earth and the future hope that one day Gods presence will permeate all of creation again. In the first part of the episode (02:19-19:43), the guys discuss the imagery of cherubim in the Bible. The picture that most of us have of cherubimchubby babies with wingsis pretty far off from what the Bible is trying to tell us about Gods heavenly space. Eden was a picture of Gods idealhuman and heavenly space interminglingand Jesus is a representation of that. In fact, you cant separate Jesus from Gods presence and holiness. There are little explosions of Eden everywhere that Jesus goes. In the second part of the episode (20:11-24:34), the guys talk about the concept of resurrection and new creation. The redemption of creation that is promised is completely wrapped up in the idea of Gods presence once again filling human spaces. In the last part of the episode (25:08-36:58), Tim and Jon look at the symbolism behind temples in the Bible. Kings built temples as symbols of hope for restoring Gods presence among his people, but Jesus declared that he was the new temple and Gods bodily presence on earth.

Heaven and Earth Part 3: Jesus, The Ultimate Heaven & Earth Meeting Place
Episode 9
Heaven and Earth Part 3: Jesus, The Ultimate Heaven & Earth Meeting Place
In this episode, the guys wrap up their discussion on heaven and earth. The guys will solidify the idea that Jesus is the meeting place of heaven and earth. He is Gods temple presence on earth, and his resurrection is the first part of Gods plan for a new creation. Not only do the New Testament authors draw on temple imagery to talk about Jesus, but they also use it in reference to people and communities of believers. What does this mean for followers of Jesus? And finally, what happens to us after we die? In the first part of the episode (03:06-15:28), the guys look at the story of Pentecost and the start of the Jesus movement. Because of the events in the book of Acts, we know that Gods presence exists in followers of Jesus. Were not just humans; were like little mobile units of Gods presence. In the second part of the episode (15:50-27:52), Tim and Jon talk about the implications of Christians having the presence of God within them. Gods presence in us means that we are able to see glimpses of his Kingdom now while holding out hope for the fullness of his Kingdom that is coming. This is what the now-and-not-yet Kingdom of God is all about. In the last part of the episode (28:26-41:57), the guys try to shed light on the question of life after death. Though were given few specifics about the afterlife in the Bible, we know that both Jesus and the New Testament authors fully believed that some part of us would be in the presence of God awaiting the new creation after we die.

Image of God Part 1: Humans as Middle Management
Episode 10
Image of God Part 1: Humans as Middle Management
What does it mean that humans are created in the image of God? In this episode, the guys discuss the biblical theme of the image of God and its implications for Jesus followers. As humans, we bear the image of God, but what is the purpose of this for uswhat is the purpose for God? Creating images of gods was a fairly familiar concept in the ancient world, but representing the image of God, not through a statue or idol but through your very being, has profound significance. In the first part of the episode (01:31-13:58), the guys talk about Genesis 1. This passage tells us that humans were created in Gods image and then given the task to rule over creation. Compared to the Babylonian creation myth, the biblical story of creation gives a worldview and social order that is pretty unique. In the second part of the episode (14:14-26:10), Tim and Jon talk about the purpose behind God creating humans in his image. After God creates Adam and Eve, he tasks them with subduing creation? What does this mean? How should we be subduing Gods creation? In the final part of the episode (26:26-44:50), the guys talk about the ancient context of creating images of gods. What were images of gods in the ancient world? Statues or idols were viewed as a special connection to the god they represented. This is true of humans too. Humans are the realization of Gods presencehis temple on earth. Gods rule here on earth is not through elite kings, it is through humans multiplying, gardening, and making neighborhoods.

Image of God Part 2: God and Human's Makeover
Episode 11
Image of God Part 2: God and Human's Makeover
In this episode, Tim and Jon talk about what it means to be remade into the image of God. This is a different Christian narrative than we usually hear, but its all right there in the Bible. The guys will talk about the image of God throughout the New Testament and how humans reigning on Gods behalf is part of the gospel. In the first part of the episode (02:15-5:52), the guys confront the familiar Christian narrative that says humans are terrible and screwed up and God just puts up with us. Humans are sinful, sure, but theyre also treasured by God and a crucial part of his plan for humanity. The biblical story is not about how terrible people are. Its about Gods plan for the world and how he will restore and heal the image of God in humans and fulfill the original calling he gave in the garden. In the second part of the episode (06:19-12:10), Tim and Jon talk about Gods plan for humans to reign on his behalf as the image is repaired. Paul picks up the language of the image of God to talk about Jesus and the process of becoming new humans and being renewed according to the image of God. In the next part of the episode (12:29-19:24), the guys discuss what our divine purpose is as humans. Do we try to advance the human project (moral progress), or do we withdraw (remove ourselves) as we wait for Gods new creation? In the next part of the episode (19:46-29:50), the guys talk about what went wrong with the image of God in humans and why its in need of repair. How does the image of God connect to the garden and the knowledge of good and evil? In the final part of the episode (30:21-47:19), the guys talk about the garden of Eden as it relates to Gods image. There is a familiar narrative that the garden was perfect and then humans came in and ruined everything, but as Tim will point out, its more complex than that. The garden was only the beginning; it had potential for perfection, but it wasnt Gods plan for creation fully realizednot yet. Genesis is not the end of the story. As image bearers of God, there is still hope for the completion of the story and the fullness of Gods Kingdom. Video: This episode is designed to accompany our video called, "Image of God."

Image of God Part 3: The Garden Was Not Perfect
Episode 12
Image of God Part 3: The Garden Was Not Perfect
In this episode, Tim and Jon wrap up their discussion on the image of God. Scripture tells us that humans are made in the image of God, but what does that actually mean for our lives? Do we exist simply to glorify God, or does bearing the image of God mean we have a greater responsibility? As Christians, we tend to think we have to divide secular and sacred, but as the guys will unpack, this doesnt have to be the case and we can choose to reflect God and his image in all that we do. In the first part of the episode (01:15-04:48), Tim and Jon talk about why the garden shouldnt be considered perfection. The garden was good, but it is only the beginning of the story! Gods story will be complete when humans are fully united to God and his creation is redeemed. In the next part of the episode (05:15-16:58), the guys talk about the parent/child relationship between God and humans. Its crucial to understand that God wants to share his creation with us! Just like in the garden, humans will one day reign with God. The Westminster Confession of Faith is a well-known confession of the church of England. You may be familiar with it: Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever. In the next part of the episode (17:19-35:16), the guys unpack this a little bit and point out the problems with taking this bystander approach to humanitys purpose on earth. Glorifying and enjoying God is only a small part of bearing the image of God. So what does it mean for humans to bear the image of God? In the last part of this episode (35:45-1:07:14), the guys will talk about the implications of the image of God for followers of Jesus. Were not simply a representation of God, we get to work with him to bring about his purpose on earth! But we have to realize that we are image bearers who dont always represent God well. What does it look like for us to renew our hearts and minds to better represent God to the world? Video: This episode is designed to accompany our video on the image of God.

Image of God Part 4: Glory of God
Episode 13
Image of God Part 4: Glory of God
In this episode, Tim and Jon talk about the glory of God and what it means for humans to glorify him. Does glorifying God simply mean singing songs or acting a certain way? Why is God so interested in his glory? This all connects back to the image of God. The glory of God is one of those terms that is thrown around a lot in Christian culture, but what does it really mean? In the first part of the episode (01:10-08:46), the guys talk about how the image of God is connected to the glory of God. Does glorifying God mean that we need to get out of the way or remove ourselves? We as humans bear the image of God, and were going to represent God in the world simply because of who we are. But can choose to represent God well, and this too can be glorying. In the next part of the episode (09:13-17:00), Tim and Jon talk about what it looks like to glorify God in our everyday activities. It doesnt always have to be about singing praise songs. Paul talks about how everything we do, we can do to the glory of God. In the next part of the episode (17:20-29:21), the guys talk about the Hebrew word, kavod, one of the words used for glory in the Bible. Kavod literally means heavy, but metaphorically it means ones reputation or significance. Humans have our own kavod, but the image of God that we bear is also kavod. In the next part of the episode (29:51-40:07), the guys continue to unpack this idea of kavod. The verb version of this word is, kaved. Kaved means to speak or act in a way that brings kavod to someone. This is an interesting nuance, and its best understood as respect or honor. In the final part of the episode (40:38-52:37), the guys talk about why we glorify Godwhy does God need us to do this? This is a question that we get tripped up in as Jesus followers, but were losing sight of what kavod really means. Were not just trying to help God look important. We are invited to increase Gods kavod, his reputation and honor. Whatever we do, we can do it to Gods honor and glory. Video: This episode is designed to accompany our video called, "Image of God."

Intro to Wisdom Literature
Episode 14
Intro to Wisdom Literature
In this episode, the guys give an overview of wisdom literature in the Bible. Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes are considered wisdom literature. Each book has unique ideas and ancient wisdom about the world, but all of the books are trying to teach the audience what it means to live a good life. In the first part of the episode (01:31-05:28), Tim and Jon discuss the purpose of wisdom literature. These books are full of ancient wisdom that has been passed down for centuries. Theyre the insights of wise, God-fearing people accumulated throughout the generations to become Gods word to his people. There is a specific context in which the books were written, but they are universal and still totally applicable to us today. In the next part of the episode (05:40-12:22), the guys talk about the differences among the wisdom books of the Bible. The books come from distinct time periods in Israels history, and each one offers a unique perspective that we need to interpret as a whole. In the final part of the episode (12:34-31:52), the guys talk about how these books stand out against the rest of the Old Testament. The wisdom authors express doubts and questions about other parts of the Bible. These doubts are not to discredit the rest of Scriptureits about compelling the readers toward an honest faith. We have to be willing to acknowledge and wrestle with doubts and questions, and the wisdom books can guide us in this. Video: This episode is designed to accompany our wisdom series of videos.

Wisdom of Ecclesiastes Part 1: Not Another Proverb...
Episode 15
Wisdom of Ecclesiastes Part 1: Not Another Proverb...
In this episode, Tim and Jon begin their discussion on the book of Ecclesiastes. This is an interesting book in Scripture, and the author is relentlessly trying to get the reader to rethink their black and white mindset. It can be a bit depressing to read, and it doesnt quite give you the same type of feel-good wisdom that the book of Proverbs does. The guys will try to get at what this book is trying to teach us and what the author thinks it means to live a good and godly life. In the first part of the episode (02:14-09:57), the guys talk about the two distinct voices in Ecclesiastes. We know that it was written by a son of David, which could mean an actual king, or it could mean someone who wrote in the tradition of the wisdom of the kings. Getting a little bit of context about the author will help us to figure out what this book is trying to say. In the next part of the episode (10:18-17:28), the guys discuss the Hebrew word, hevel, used thirty-eight times in this short book. Hevel is roughly translated to vanity, but as Tim points out, this is not the best translation. Hevel technically means smoke or vapor, but it is also used metaphorically to mean absurd or an enigma. In the next part of the episode (17:51-34:46), the guys talk about the way Ecclesiastes stands out among the other books in the Old Testament. Is this book scandalous among the Jewish Scriptures? In the final part of the episode (35:09-51:20), the guys unpack the concept of the good life that Ecclesiastes is teaching about. What does it mean to live a good life? What are our motives for pursuing the good life if there is so much hevel? Video: This episode is designed to accompany our video on the book of Ecclesiastes.

Wisdom Series: Proverbs
Episode 16
Wisdom Series: Proverbs
In this episode, Tim and Jon talk about the ancient wisdom found in the book of Proverbs. The author of Proverbs is this incredible teacher who offers guidance for just about everything humans will encounter in their lives, but is it just a book of wisdom sayings that we can memorize and put on our walls? The guys will go on to explain that wisdom, and the Hebrew concept of chokmah, is much more than that. In the first part of the episode (01:52-10:00), the guys talk about the Hebrew word for wisdom, chokmah. In the Bible, God uses chokmah to design the entire universe, and humans can access this divine wisdom. But its not just about using wisdom to know the pattern of the universe; we can use it to design our life. In the next part of the episode (10:25-22:00), the guys talk about chokmah as more than an impersonal force. The wisdom found in Proverbs is not just about goodness and reality, its also about street smarts. This is the second nuance of chokmah. In English, wisdom is something that we think of as intellectual. Chokmah can mean a type of knowledge or moral law, but it also implies application. Proverbs is trying to persuade you to use this chokmah to change your life. In the next part of the episode (22:22-31:13), Tim and Jon talk about how we can apply chokmah in our lives. Chokmah is an attribute of God that we can actually interact with and use in our lives. But its not about passively gaining knowledge; it leaves us with a responsibility. In the next part of the episode (31:45-41:13), the guys talk about some of the warnings in the book of Proverbs. Proverbs warns against becoming wise in our own eyes. We can think were using chokmah and making wise decisions, but were not. This is where the concept of the fear of the Lord comes in. In the final part of the episode (41:42-48:55), the guys talk about what it looks like to fear the Lord. Sometimes a wise decision in our culture can look different from making a decision using chokmah. Its about staying aligned with our moral compass and the heart of God in every aspect of our lives.

Story: God and Money
Episode 18
Story: God and Money
In this episode, the guys explore the story of two Harvard Business School graduates who were confronted with a biblical view of money that changed their lives. In the first part of the episode (01:12-09:51), Tim and Jon talk about what the Bible says about money. On one hand it says its the root of all evilkind of intense. But on the other hand it also talks about ways to use your money to bless others. How does the Bible ask us to view money? In the next part of the episode (10:08-22:15), Jon talks to John Cortines and Gregory Baumer. John and Gregory were two young, successful Christians making more money than most of us can dream of. They were faithful Christians tithing to their church regularly, but when they took an elective class at Harvard Divinity school about God and money, everything changed for them. In the next part of the episode (22:42-37:26), John and Gregory talk about how God completely flipped the way they think about money on its head. For a project in their class, they sent out an anonymous survey asking how much people make, save, and give. The project took on a life of its own, and they were left with some startling results and convictions. In the final part of this episode (37:58-1:02:40), we get to see how John and Gregory walked out their newfound convictions. They acted in faith and trusted God with their money in an extreme way. Their obedience wasnt always easy, but when they trusted God beyond just cutting a ten percent tithe check every month, they experienced true joy and freedom.

The Wisdom of Job Part 1: Suffering Well
Episode 19
The Wisdom of Job Part 1: Suffering Well
In this episode, the guys take a birds eye view of the book of Job. Job is considered wisdom literature, and it aims to teach the reader about justice, suffering, and the role of God in the lives of humans. The author is intentionally trying to ruffle some feathers. This book is all about calling into question the readers views of God and the world. In the first part of the episode (02:15-09:02), Tim and Jon give an overview of Job and talk about what its trying to communicate. The book doesnt give us a clear answer as to why Job is suffering, but it does teach us about the character of God and offers a model for how to handle suffering. In the second part of the episode (09:30-13:05), the guys talk about the problem of evil and why bad things happen to good people. Job is an excellent study on this question. If a good and powerful God created this world, then why do people, including good people, suffer? In the next part of the episode (13:34-23:03), the guys talk about the order that humans try to impose on the world. This is a major theme in the book of Job. This is a book where we see things happening that dont fit our category of order, but God has wisdom and a way of ordering the world that is beyond our understanding. Next (23:34-34:24), the guys talk about how Job comes to understand Gods divine wisdom and judgement. In Job, we see that the world cant be run by a system, it has to be run by Gods judgement. In the next part of the episode (34:53-46:34), the guys talk about some of the overarching themes in Job that connect to the larger narrative of Scripture. This story is teaching its readers to trust Gods way of running the world. In the final part of the episode (47:03-51:13), Tim and Jon wrap things up by giving an overview of all of the wisdom literature in the Bible and look at how Job fits into the larger story.

The Wisdom of Job Part 2: Where on Earth is "Uz"?
Episode 20
The Wisdom of Job Part 2: Where on Earth is "Uz"?
In this episode, Tim and Jon continue their discussion on Job. How exactly does Job fit in with the other wisdom book of the Bible? Its kind of a weird book. Job takes place in Uz, a non-Israelite town, and it features non-Israelite people. It seems out of place, but its also a book that other biblical authors refer to throughout Scripture. We have to wonder about the differences between Job and the other books of the Bible. Is Job a literal account, or is it a wisdom parable that is intentionally fiction? In the first part of the episode (02:14-09:42), the guys talk about the first two chapters of Job. In this section, Gods justice is questioned, but the story is not trying to teach about the origins of human suffering. The guys try to get at what this first part may be trying to teach us. In the second part of the episode (09:57-22:50), Tim and Jon talk about the heavenly scene in Job and discuss why the author chose to include it. The point of the heavenly scene isnt to tell us how God makes decisions. It asks the question of whether or not it is a good policy for God to always reward the righteous. In the next part of the episode (23:09-26:57), the guys break down the structure of the book, specifically chapters three through twenty-seven. These chapters are the poetic core of the book called the cycles. In the final part of this episode (27:12-41:30), the guys spend some time discussing Jobs friends. His friends are working within a human framework that says that God rewards the righteous and brings wrath upon sinners, yet Job continues to defend his innocence throughout the book. What is really going on here? Video: This episode is designed to accompany our video on the book of Job.

The Wisdom of Job Part 3: Job Vs. Elihu
Episode 21
The Wisdom of Job Part 3: Job Vs. Elihu
In this episode, Tim and Jon try to tackle some of the glaring questions about the story of Job. They talk about the surprise friend, Elihu, who seems to show up out of nowhere towards the end of the story. They also spend some time discussing Jobs speech in chapter 28. Theres a lot to unpack in that chapter, and understanding it may give us clues as to what this book is all about. Finally the guys look at Jobs final showdown with God and how God responds to Jobs accusations of being unjust and unfair. In the first part of the episode (01:53-07:29), the guys talk about Jobs surprise friend, Elihu. He comes into the story and reaffirms for Job that God is just, but he also hints at a more complex understanding of Gods justice. Yes, he is just, but hes also God, and hes capable of disciplining someone to avoid future suffering. In the second part of the episode (07:51-17:22), the guys discuss Jobs speech in Chapter 28. This chapter is all about Gods divine wisdom. Job talks about humans as creative and ingenious, but they also cant fully access Gods wisdom or understand his ways. In the next part of the episode (17:43-30:41), Tim and Jon talk about Gods response to Jobs accusations. God basically gives Job a virtual tour of the universe, describing all of the incredible things that he has created. We see here that Job doesnt really have the vantage point by which to accuse God. In the next part of the episode (31:04-46:20), the guys talk about the Behemoth and the Leviathan, ancient creatures that God brings up during his tour of the universe. Why would the author choose to include this? We can see that even in Gods good world, there can be suffering and tragedy only because the world is a raw and wild place. In the final part of the episode (46:47-59:11), the guys talk about Jobs repentance and humility before God at the end of the book. Jobs story teaches us that God doesnt always run the world on the principle of just recompense. Video: This episode is designed to accompany our video on the book of Job.

Luke Part Two: An Overview of Luke
Episode 23
Luke Part Two: An Overview of Luke
Following up on part one of their discussion on the gospel of Luke, Tim and Jon continue to unpack the main themes of Lukes unique account of Jesus life. The book of Luke makes clear that Jesus story is the continuation of the hope of the Hebrew Scriptures. Luke wants the reader to see how Jesus mission is for the outsiders, the poor, and the marginalized. As Jesus went around preaching about the Kingdom of God, he left behind people who were changed by him, and he called these people to live radically new lives of justice and peace. Luke uniquely highlights the social implications of these communities that Jesus wanted to form. The gospel of Luke is a rich account that comes together to give a vision for who Jesus was and what he taught.

Luke Part Three: Good News for the Poor
Episode 24
Luke Part Three: Good News for the Poor
In this episode, Tim and Jon discuss the first six chapters of the gospel of Luke. Luke stands out among the other gospels because it is all about Jesus message being first for the poor and outcasts. This made the religious leaders of the day mad, and Jesus ministry was totally revolutionary in a culture that was all about status and wealth. Lukes gospel is constantly calling back to the Hebrew Scriptures, and it emphasizes, again and again, that Jesus is the Messiah that the prophets talked about. In the first part of the episode (02:01-11:10), the guys talk about the literary genius of the gospel of Luke. Lukes account oozes with Old Testament allusions, and he did this so that his audience would see how connected Jesus is to Israels story and history. In the next part of the episode (11:41-19:28), the guys spend a lot of time talking about why Luke included the story of Jesus baptism in the Jordan River. The symbolism between Jesus baptism and the crossing of the children of Israel into the promised land is unmistakable! Jesus was making a bold statement. He was here to usher in a new age for Israel. In the next part of the episode (19:59-25:55), the guys continue to talk about the unique quality of Lukes gospel. Even the structure of the book is different than the other gospels. Luke continues to use Old Testament imagery, specifically the exodus motif, so that his audience cant ignore the connection between Jesus and Israels story. In the next part of the episode (26:25-42:14), Tim and Jon talk about Luke 4. This is the story of Jesus reading from Isaiah 61 proclaiming that he is the Messiah that the prophets talked about. This is another incredibly bold statement from Jesus. He goes on to describe this new age and his upside-down Kingdom that will mean freedom for the poor and oppressed. In the final part of the episode (42:44-56:08), the guys discuss the honor/shame culture of Israel during Jesus ministry. It was this context that made his ministry to the outcasts so scandalous. This is the main point of Lukes gospel. In Jesus new Kingdom, Gods mercy rules, and no person is exalted above another.

Episode 34
Heaven and Earth Part 4: How Did the Biblical Authors Imagine Life After Death?
This episode is the backstory to a question that we ask ourselves a lot at The Bible Project. Maybe you ask yourself this question too. What happens when we die? Where did the biblical authors think a person went after they died? Do we go to heaven, and what does the Bible tell us about heaven? This is a question that is really helpful to work and think through, and theres a ton to unpack. We put all of our thoughts into a new workbook we created called, "Heaven and Earth." Look for the link to download in the credits below. In the first part of the episode (02:22-37:10), the guys talk about some of the confusing language in the Bible about heaven. In the Gospel of John, Jesus talks about "his Father's house" and him "going to prepare a place for you." What ideas were Jesus and John trying to communicate with these sayings? The ideas might surprise you. In the second part of this episode (37:27-55:19), the guys talk about what it means for heaven and earth to overlap. In his gospel, John talks about Jesus followers being not of this world. What does this mean? Is Heaven wholly other? And what is the purpose of heaven and earth meeting if we are just going to fly off to heaven when we die? Tim unpacks the way John uses language in his gospel and what this phrase might mean. Gods world is good, and its worthy of being redeemed, and this is crucial to grasp in how we think about heaven. Video: This episode is designed to accompany our video called, Heaven & Earth."

God's Wisdom in the Law - Law E3
Episode 134
God's Wisdom in the Law - Law E3
In part 1 (0-21:30), the guys recap their conversation so far. Jon says that often the law is the first place people go who look to take issue with the Bible, saying its archaic or barbaric. Tim points out that too often, we dont understand how cross-cultural it is to read the Bible. Instead, we often impose our own cultural mindset on the Bible. Jon recalls from their discussion that the ancient law code of Israel was not the supreme authority, but instead illustrative of the relationships between the parties involved. In part 2 (21:30-26:30), Tim talks about the wisdom of the laws in the Hebrew Scriptures. Tim shares this quote: The Hebrew Bible strongly suggests that the earliest forms of disputes were resolved by intuitions of justice against a background of custom, rather than appeal to formulated rules. The biblical sources which talk about the establishment of the judicial system in Israel give no indication that judges were to use written sources. Rather, judges are urged to avoid partiality and corruption and to do justice. But what was the source of such justice? The version attributed to king Jehoshaphat is the most explicit, God is with you in giving judgment (2 Chronicles 19:6). Divine inspiration is also attributed to the king in rendering judgment: Proverbs 16:10, Inspired decisions are on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment. Solomons judgment (1 Kings 3:16-28) is presented as an example of just such a process. This is not to say that judges were expected to go into some kind of trance or function as an oracle. Rather, they were called to operate by combining local custom with divinely guided intuitions of justicerelying on the practical wisdom that existed within the social consciousness of the people as a whole. (Bernard Jackson, Wisdom Laws, 30-31) In part 3 (26:30-40:30), Tim says the laws embody a set of ideals. Laws related to similar topics work together as a symbolic ritual system. They embody a set of ethical, social, and theological ideals for Gods ancient covenant people, a kingdom of priests and a holy nation living out the Garden-of-Eden ideal in the world. He shares five ideal buckets or categories to help readers understand different laws: Ritual Calendar: The 7-day Sabbath cycle is all about the anticipation and re-enactment of new creation (note the literary design of the days in Genesis 1: There is no end to the seventh day). Ritual sacrifices: sacrifices involved offering the life of a blameless representative who would ascend to the heavenly mountain on behalf of the offerer (Leviticus 1 begins with the olah or ascent offering) Ritual holiness: symbolic purity boundaries embodied the conviction that Gods presence is the source of all life, and health is separate from the mortal and immoral Civil law: creating a new-creation community structured to carry the poor and prevent injustice toward the vulnerable Criminal law: zero tolerance for those who corrupt the holy covenant family: no blood feuds, theft, idolatry, or sexual behavior that disrupts the social web In part 4 (40:30-end), Tim goes over the sacrifices in the ritual sacrifices bucket. He cites a book by Michael Morales called Who Shall Ascend the Mountain of the Lord? A biblical theology of Leviticus. Tim also goes over civil and criminal laws in ancient Israel. Jon asks Tim for a few specific examples. Tim goes to these passages: Deuteronomy 24:21-22 21 When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow. 22 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this. Deuteronomy 25:1-4 1 When people have a dispute, they are to take it to court and the judges will decide the case, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty. 2 If the guilty person deserves to be beaten, the judge shall make them lie down and have them flogged in his presence with the number of lashes the crime deserves, 3 but the judge must not impose more than forty lashes. If the guilty party is flogged more than that, your fellow Israelite will be degraded in your eyes 4 Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain. Deuteronomy 25:11-15 11 If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity. 13 Do not have two differing weights in your bagone heavy, one light. 14 Do not have two differing measures in your houseone large, one small. 15 You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. 16 For the Lord your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly. Tim admits that these laws are very hard to understand. He points out that there are no narratives of these laws actually being put into practice. Regarding verses 11-12, Tim points out that the woman would have been endangering the entire family and bloodline by seizing a mans genitals. Tim also notes that the differing weights are about not counterfeiting money. Thank you to all our supporters!

The Law as a Revolution - Law E4
Episode 136
The Law as a Revolution - Law E4
In part 1 (0-17:00), The guys quickly recap their conversation so far. Tim then dives into a third perspective on the Hebrew laws in the Old Testament. The third perspective is that the laws embody and revolutionize ancient Eastern conceptions of justice. The laws are formulated in the language and categories of ancient Near Eastern law, so that Israels law was comprehensible to their neighbors while also representing an irreversible cultural revolution. Tim notes that in all the other ancient covenant documents (Hittite, Assyrian) only one is between a king and a people, while dozens of others are between one king and another king. Covenants are agreements between kings. But the Biblical story depicts the laws as stipulations between God and all the Israelites: I will be their God and they will be my people. This is the same kind of language we find in the Song of Solomon, I am my beloveds and he is mine (Song of Solomon 6:3). This is marriage covenant language. Tim uses some quotes from Joshua Berman to make his points. In the ancient near east, various gods had consorts and goddess wives, while the common man was subject, a slave and servant of the king and the tribute-imposing class. For these cultures to conceive of the marriage between a god and a group of humans, would have been as unthinkable as for us to imagine the marital union of a human and a cat The Bibles most revolutionary idea is the idea of God as a personality who seeks a relationship of mutuality with human agents. In the neighboring cultures of the ancient Near East, humans were merely slaves of the king. In the Bible, they are transformed into a servant king who is married to a generous sovereign, a wife in relation to her benefactor husband. When God seeks love from Israel, it involves both the political sense of loyalty between parties to a treaty as well as the kind of intimacy known in a faithful, intimate relationship between a man and woman. (Berman, Created Equal, 46) This concept of a human family married to God is founded on the concept of humanity in Genesis 1-2. All humanity, male and female, is the divine royal image over all creation. And while the Davidic king could be called the son of God, it was only as the representative of all Israel who is the son of God (Exodus 4:22). The king and all the Israelites are themselves equals under their divine king Yahweh. Tim again cites Joshua Berman: While in Egypt and Mesopotamia, the bridge figure between the divine and human was the king, deified (as in Egypt) or more of a demi-god (Mesopotamia). He was the top of the socio-religious structure with the economic elite, and this was mirrored by the hierarchy of the gods. NOT SO in biblical Israel. Gods covenant was with the entirety of Israel, focused on the common man. I maintain that it is in the covenant, properly conceived in in ancient Near Eastern setting, that we may discern a radically new understanding of the cosmic role of the common man within the thought systems of the ancient Near East, one that constituted the basis of an egalitarian order. (Berman, Created Equal, 29) In part 2 (17:00-25:15), Tim explains why Israels law codes consistently downgrades the role of the king in contrast to their neighbors. The king is not the sole, chief, divine authority; rather, Yahweh is king, and the human king is subservient to the Scriptures (Deuteronomy 17) and to prophets who speak on Yahwehs behalf. He is a leader in war, but he is not the chief. He can participate in the temple, but he is not the high priest. He is subservient to the law, but he is not the lawgiver. This is all in contrast to Egypt and Babylon. Tim also explains that the laws allowed Israels economy to be oriented toward landed families, which were called to include the immigrant, poor, and orphans. It is the first ancient example of welfare society. You can see examples of laws about not maximizing profit to allow work in the fields in Ruth chapters 2-3. Other examples include laws about the seven year debt release, Jubilee land and debt release, not charging interest on loans for the poor, giving a tithe for local loans for failing farmers. Tim again cites Berman: The biblical laws about land and assets introduce a reformation of the ancient worldview aimed at achieving a social equality, but of a very specific king. It is not the egalitarianism developed since the French Revolution with its emphasis on the individual and inalienable human rights Rather, it takes the form of an economic system that seeks equality by granting sacred value to the extended family household, where people assist one another in farming labor and in granting relief to other households in need. Ancient Israel was a tribal association of free farmers and ranchers, living in a single and equal social class with common ownership of the means of production. This system was a rejection of statism (= the nations state owns all land) and feudalism (= military lords own all land), demonstrated by the fact that it was free of tribute to any human king, and their tribute was a shared burden of funding the temple. Israel defined itself in opposition to the empire of oppression embodied by Egyptian slavery, and also in opposition to the centralized monarchies that surrounded and took up residence in Israel. (Berman, Created Equal, 87) Tim points out that a scholar named David Bentley Hart has influenced his thinking on this subject. Tim says that the Judeo-Christian heritage is the most beautiful thing about Western civilization. In part 3 (25:15-30:00), Tim teaches through a specific law that is usually very disturbing to modern readers. Deuteronomy 21:10-14 10 When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, 11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails 13 and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. 14 If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her. Tim points out that this law does not promote the practice it seems to promote. Instead, it creates boundaries for a common cultural practice, which are eventually designed to obliterate the practice all together. This law is in reaction to other ancient cultures that didnt have any rules or give any thought to how soldiers should treat their captives. In part 4 (30:00-43:10), Tim brings up an important point to keep in mind when reading biblical law: The laws play an important but ultimately subordinate role in the plot of the larger biblical storyline that leads to Jesus. Humanitys failure to obey the divine command is part of the plot conflict that prevents them from being Gods image-partners in ruling creation. The laws illustrate the divine ideal while also intensifying that conflict, creating the need for a new human and a new covenant. Tim notes that the first divine command is in the garden of Eden: Genesis 2:16-17 16 The Lord God commanded the man, saying, From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of knowing good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die. Tim says the failure to listen to the voice of God (breaking the divine command) results in exile from the Eden-mountain, leading to death. Genesis 3:17, 24 17 Then to Adam He said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat from it; 24 So He banished the human; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life. In part 5, (43:10-end) Tim notes that this theme of listening or not listening to the divine command continues through the Bible. Exodus 19:4-6 4 You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles wings, and brought you to Myself. 5 Now then, if you will listen listen to My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; 6 and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel. Tim notes that the story immediately after this story is the story of the golden calf, which shows Israels obvious failure to listen. Tim points out that Israels covenant choice is the same as Adam and Eve and all humanity. Deuteronomy 30:15-20 15 See, I have set before you today life and good, and death and evil; 16 in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may have life and multiply, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it. 17 But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, 20 by loving the Lord your God, by listening to His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them. Tim notes that Israels inability to listen to the voice of God, leading to death and exile, traps humanity in the power of death, which necessitates the messianic age and the new covenant. Jeremiah 31:31-34 31 Behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them, declares the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord, I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, declares the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Ezekiel 36:26-28 26 Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. 28 You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your God. Tim concludes by sharing that the law isn't about an "Old Covenant or New Covenant" question. Instead, the law illuminates and explores the portrait of humanity repeatedly failing to listen to the divine voice. Show Produced by: Dan Gummel, Jon Collins.

Five Strategies for Reading Revelation - Apocalyptic E6
The book of Revelation is full of symbols and images that are confusing when we remove them from the context of the Hebrew Bible.

Humans Are...Trees? Top 5: Re-Release E2
Humans are like trees. While this thought might not have been at the top of your mind this week, it was a key idea for the biblical authors. In the second of our five most popular podcasts, explore the connection between humans and trees with Tim and Jon as we learn why trees are mentioned more times than almost anything else in the Bible. QUOTE If you look at days three and six, youll see they both have two creative acts. The second creative act on day three is a fruit tree, and on day six its a fruitful human. This is designed in such a way that you now start thinking in the metaphor, Humans are trees. People are like trees, which means the future of humanstheir origins and their destiniesare going to be linked in some way. Were meant to wonder if the future of humans will be bound up with the future of trees. Show produced by Cooper Peltz, Dan Gummel, and Zach McKinley. Remastering by Jake Trethaway.

Earn it, lose it, take it, spend it, save it--we talk about time like currency. The Sabbath can be confusing to talk about, but it is God's reminder to humanity that time is not a possession. In the third of our five most-listened-to podcasts, join Tim and Jon as they explore why the Sabbath is far less about a weekend or special religious service and far more about rescue and God's miraculous provision. QUOTE To say that the Sabbath belongs to God is to jar you into remembering time doesn't belong to us. We talk about time like it's currency--earn it, lose it, take it, spend it, save it. It's like one of our possessions. Shabbat is a ritual practice that determines reality and helps us renounce our autonomy. The seventh day reminds us of rescue, miraculous provision, and of God coming through for us in a way that we couldn't do ourselves. Show produced by Cooper Peltz, Dan Gummel, and Zach McKinley.

What Does the Word "Gospel" Mean Top 5: Re-Release E4

What Does the Word "Gospel" Mean Top 5: Re-Release E4
The word gospel has acquired many meanings since the biblical authors first used it. What does it really mean? In the fourth of our five most-listened-to podcasts, Tim and N.T. Wright discuss the meaning of this important word in its original context, and explore what it means for Jesus to take charge as King and for his disciples to build his Kingdom. QUOTE When God takes charge, he doesnt send in the tanks, he sends in the meek and the poor and the hungry-for-justice, the merciful, the peacemaking, etc. And by the time the people with the tanks and the guns have realized whats going on, the meek and the merciful and the poor in spirit have established schools and orphanages and hospitals, in order to show what it looks like when God becomes King. At Jesus final return, all those things will be part of Gods new world because they were already beginning at Jesus first coming. Show produced by Cooper Peltz, Dan Gummel, and Zach McKinley.

The Most Quoted Verse in the Bible Top 5: Re-Release E5
Does God hold children responsible for their parents sins? In the fifth installment of our most-listened-to podcast episodes, join Tim, Jon, and Carissa for a look at the most quoted verse in the Bible, Exodus 34:6-7, and find out why Gods justice and his loyal love go hand in hand as a central part of who he is. QUOTE If later generations repeat or persist in the covenant rebellion of their ancestors, theyre going to get the same consequences. But when we talk about these thousands that get loyal love, were talking about thousands of generations who stay faithful to the covenant. No generation gets a free pass, but no generation will be treated unjustly. Their own behavior matters for how God responds to them. Show produced by Cooper Peltz, Dan Gummel, and Zach McKinley.

The Hebrew Bible contains one story of human failure after another, leaving us with no doubt in our minds: humanity desperately needs a leader.

What makes a person worthy to be chosen by God to do his work? In the story of the Bible, some of God's choices seem obvious, people with lots of merit.

In Genesis 3, a snake, who is some kind of spiritual being, tricks the humans despite their authority as Gods image bearers. This story is echoed in other accounts of sibling rivalry that continue throughout the Hebrew Bible. Join Tim and Jon as they discuss the land rulers and sky rulers and the theme of the firstborn in Genesis 1-3.

A Human With Power Over the Dragon - Chaos Dragon E15
As we've traced the theme of the chaos dragon in the Bible, we've come to expect what the biblical authors expect: a dragon-slaying king to come. When the gospel authors introduce us to Jesus, they're quick to show that Jesus is human, yet he wields power beyond what other humans possess. He triumphs over snake-like adversaries in the wilderness, subdues chaos waters with a word, and even has power over spiritual beings. In fact, Jesus does all the same things God himself does.

The Hebrew Bibles Connection to the Sermon on the Mount
Sermon on the Mount E2 As a Jewish rabbi, Jesus was immersed in the Hebrew Bible, or what Christians often call the Old Testament.

In this episode, Tim and Jon walk through the three parts of the Hebrew Bible, showing how they connect to what Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount.

Why Does Jesus Say Not to Swear Oaths?
Sermon on the Mount E14 In Matthew 5:33-48, Jesus offers three case studies about how people can work together in spite of conflict. The first case study focuses on the ancient practice of oath keeping. By the time of Jesus, ancient Israelites no longer spoke the divine name of Yahweh out of respect, but they would still swear oaths by things closely related to Godlike the sky, land, temple, etc. Some people used these oaths as a loophole because they felt less serious to break (I only swore by the temple!).

Episode 407
What Jesus Means by Turn the Other Cheek
Sermon on the Mount E15 In Matthew 5:38-42, Jesus offers wisdom from the Torah about retaliation, justice, and nonviolent resistance to injustice. He references a series of laws in Exodus 21, Leviticus 24, and Deuteronomy 19, all of which contain the familiar language of eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Jesus reveals the surprising wisdom within these laws, using real-life scenarios that would have been familiar to oppressed Israelites living under Roman occupation: turning the other cheek, giving your cloak, and going the extra mile.

Episode 409
What "Hypocrite" Means to Jesus
Sermon on the Mount E17 In Matthew 6, Jesus transitions from sharing a vision for righteousness that fulfills the Torah and Prophets to talking about how true righteousness impacts religious practices. Religious practiceslike prayer, serving the poor, or generosityare meant to align our hearts with God. But Jesus noticed that many people in his day were doing religious practices to promote their own name and status. He called this behavior hypocrisy, which meant something different to him that it does to us today. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the original meaning of the word hypocrite and the differing motivations people can have for doing right by God and others.

Does God Lead Us Into Temptation? (The Lords Prayer Pt. 5)
Sermon on the Mount E24 Many of us first learned the King James translation of the final, personal request in the Lords Prayer: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. But does God actually lead us into temptation? In a motif that weaves throughout the Hebrew Bible, we see God allowing tests to strengthen his partnership with humans. When this motif picks up in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is the one experiencing testing. In this episode, Tim, Jon, and Michelle explore the theme of testing and temptation throughout the Bible and in the life of Jesus. From his own experience, Jesus teaches us to pray for protection from temptation and for rescue when it comes.

Sermon on the Mount E28 In his third teaching on money, Jesus issues a warning about elevating wealth to the position of God in our lives.

What Does Jesus Say About Money?
Episode 420
What Does Jesus Say About Money?
Sermon on the Mount E28 – In his third teaching on money, Jesus issues a warning about elevating wealth to the position of God in our lives. To describe wealth, Jesus uses the word “ mammon, ” which can be translated as “the thing in which you trust.” What happens when we put our trust in our wealth? And what can it look like to be free from the love of money? In this episode, Tim and Jon and special guests explore the power we give our possessions and the upside-down wisdom that sharing, not hoarding, gives us the security we’re seeking.

A House on Rock and a House on Sand
Episode 432
A House on Rock and a House on Sand
Sermon on the Mount E37 The final teaching of the Sermon on the Mount addresses the most important aspect of the choice Jesus presents to his listeners. Where does the path that we choose lead us? Jesus describes two buildersa foolish man who builds his house on sand and a wise man who builds his house on rock. When the storm comes, the house on sand is destroyed, while the house on rock remains standing. This seems straightforward, but unpacking the biblical themes of houses, cities, and floodwaters reveals deeper implications for Jesus followers in every generation.

Who May Dwell on Gods Holy Mountain?
The Mountain E9 The mountain theme shows up again and again in biblical narrative, but its also prominent in the Psalms. Particularly in Psalms 15-24, the biblical authors reflect on the traits of the one who can ascend and dwell on Gods holy mountain. At first, this question focuses on King David and his royal successors as they endure suffering, despair, and ultimately vindication, which leads to blessing for Israel and the nations. But eventually, its not just the Davidic king but a whole community of the faithful ascending the mountain!

Jesus Opens the Way to the Cosmic Mountain
Episode 452
Jesus Opens the Way to the Cosmic Mountain
The Mountain E12 If Jesus role as the promised mountaintop intercessor was unclear from the mountain stories in the Gospels, the author of the letter to the Hebrews wants to make it explicit. Drawing together imagery of Moses on Mount Sinai, the levitical priesthood, and the Old Testament sacrificial system, Hebrews declares that Jesus is the eternal high priest who can ascend to the holy mountain for the people through the blood of his own sacrifice. In this episode, Jon and Tim wrap up our series on The Mountain by exploring Jesus' ascension to the heavenly cosmic mountain, thereby opening the door for humanity.

Episode 457
How Did Israel End Up in Egypt?
The Exodus Way E3 Before we get to the Exodus story, we must first ask a question: How and why did Israel end up enslaved in Egypt in the first place? Throughout the book of Genesis, the biblical authors seem to imply that Abrahams descendants land in Egypt because of their patriarchs failures to trust God and do right by others.

Jesus New Exodus at Passover
The Exodus Way E9 All four gospel accounts build anticipation for Jesus to accomplish a new kind of exodus when he arrives in Jerusalem. But later in the gospel narratives, Jesus begins telling his disciples that he will be arrested and killed in Jerusalem before rising on the third day. So Jesus journeys to Jerusalem and confronts the religious establishmentnotably only days before Passover! And before his arrest, he shares a Passover meal with his disciples and shockingly reinterprets the bread and wine to be about his coming death.

Episode 464
Followers of The Way in Acts
The Exodus Way E10 The Exodus story was core to the identity of ancient Israel. Inspired by the prophet Isaiahs words, 1st-century Israelites were awaiting a new exodus, where a new Moses-like figure would deliver them from Roman oppression. The gospels present Jesus as that figure, who saves people from sickness, hunger, spiritual oppression, and even death itself. And following Jesus resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit, the early Jesus movement became known as The Way, carrying a message of salvation for all nations.

Paul and the New Exodus People
Episode 465
Paul and the New Exodus People
The Exodus Way E11 After Jesus death, resurrection, and ascension, his followers grew into a movement known simply as The Waya new exodus people delivered from sin and death, following the narrow way of Jesus through the wilderness of our present world and awaiting entry into a promised new creation. The Apostle Paul is a central figure in this movement, commissioned by the risen Jesus to spread the good news of the new exodus to the nations. He planted churches in several Roman cities and wrote letters to congregations of Jewish and Gentile believers. Paul was a Jewish man steeped in Israel's Scriptures, which is why we see him infusing Exodus language and imagery into his letters to the early Church. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Pauls letters to the churches in Corinth, Galatia, and Rome, discovering how Paul saw the death and resurrection of Jesus, the life of the Christian, and the larger story of creation as a cosmic exodus.

The Exodus Way E12 (Bonus Interview) If we come to the New Testament without much knowledge of the Hebrew Bible, we may think that baptism is just something that John the Baptist made up and Jesus carried on for new disciples.

Jesus Death as Redemption in Romans
Episode 482
Jesus Death as Redemption in Romans
Redemption E8 Both in his public ministry and sacrificial death, Jesus redeems people from humanitys cosmic pharaohs, the Satan , sin, and death. Jesus miracles show more clearly how this redemption works, but he says very little about how his death serves as a redemption. In fact, the most substantial thing we get is his symbolic body and blood language during the Last Supper Passover meal. And even this still feels cryptic! Later in the New Testament, one writer offers much more explanation on how Jesus death works to redeem people. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the letter to the Romans, where the Apostle Paul crafts a detailed explanation of how Jesus joins with us in death to transfer us from the domain of death into his Kingdom of life.

Why Does Jesus Get Baptized in the Wilderness?
The Wilderness E8 In the Bible, God often turns wilderness wanderings into times of testing, purification, and preparation for returning to the garden land. The tragedy of the Hebrew Bible, however, is that when people do return to the garden, they keep following their own distorted wisdom and desires. This is why the beginning of every gospel account features a wild prophet named John, who is out in the wilderness by the Jordan River, preaching a baptism of repentance. Its a symbolic reenactment of when God purified the exodus generation through the deadly chaos waters and treacherous desert. But then Jesus approaches John, also asking to be baptized. Why?

From Noah waiting for the flood waters to recede, to Israel longing for Gods loyal love, to Jesus followers ultimate hope in the new creation, the Bible presents hope as an active trust in Gods character. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore how the biblical story reframes hope as active waiting, a practice that keeps us moving toward Gods promises.

Episode 501
Peace: Wholeness, Completion, and Flourishing
Advent E2 In the second week of Advent, were reflecting on peace. The word most often translated as peace in the Hebrew Bible is shalom , but its meaning goes far beyond the absence of conflict. Shalom is about wholeness, completeness, and everything being as it should be. It describes uncut stones at an altar, honest weights in the marketplace, integrity of the heart, flourishing relationships, and life lived in harmony with Gods purposes. In this episode, Jon and Tim trace the deep biblical meaning of peace and show how Advent points to the arrival of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who reconciles divided people and makes them one.

Joy: Responding to Gods Goodness
Episode 502
Joy: Responding to Gods Goodness
Advent E3 In the third week of Advent, were reflecting on joy. Joys not only a feeling based on circumstances but a rich biblical theme expressed in song, celebration, and even shouts of delight in all seasons of life. In the Hebrew Bible, words for joy appear most often in Psalms and describe communal feasts, temple offerings, and weddings. In these moments, joy is about remembering Gods goodness in the past and anticipating his future rescue. The New Testament continues this story, with Luke and Acts in particular overflowing with joy at the arrival of the Messiah, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the resurrection of Jesus. In this episode, Jon and Tim find the theme of joy everywhere in Scripture, even before Gods work is ultimately finished.

Love: Gods Gift and Our Calling
Episode 503
Love: Gods Gift and Our Calling
Advent E4 Were ending our short Advent series with a reflection on love. In the Hebrew Bible, the word ahavah involves faithfulness to God and living by his wisdom, but it also means showing practical care to othersespecially the vulnerable. Jesus views this love for God and neighbor as the greatest command, and he expands it to be indiscriminate, radical kindness and generosity even toward our enemies. The New Testament authors were so blown away by this kind of love that they adopted an obscure Greek word for love, agape , and redefined it to be a self-giving, sacrificial love that Jesus demonstrates in his life, teaching, death, and resurrection. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the main biblical words for love, showing how the story of Advent characterizes agape as Gods own essence and our calling.

Jude: A Family Legacy and a Short Letter
Episode 506
Jude: A Family Legacy and a Short Letter
The Letter of Jude E1 Jude is one of the shortest writings in the New Testament. It comes from one of Jesus own brothers (or cousins, or stepbrothers, depending on the tradition). Written in the early years of the Jesus movement, the letter addresses a Jewish community in Jerusalem or Galilee, made up of disciples who likely grew up with Jesus and knew his family. Jude (or Judah in Hebrew or Judas in Greek) is deeply rooted in the Hebrew Bible. His writing shows these roots through consistent biblical language and tons of hyperlinks. But who was Jude, and what do we know about his family and ancestors? In this episode, Jon and Tim introduce the background of this short letter and the larger world surrounding its author.

An Introduction to an Urgent Letter
The Letter of Jude E2 In the introduction to his letter, Jude (or Judah) shares that he had hoped to write about the communitys shared rescue of salvation in Jesus. But urgent problems in the church forced him to send a warning instead. He calls his readers to contend for the faith once for all handed down, describing this faith as made up of trust in the story of Jesus and loyalty to Jesus way of life. But what is the threat Jude wants them to guard against, and how does he describe it? In this episode, Jon and Tim break down the introduction to the letter of Jude, revealing a multitude of Hebrew Bible hyperlinks and a method of reading Scripture as unified meditation literature.

Episode 508
Warnings From Ancient Rebellions
The Letter of Jude E3 After the letters opening appeal, Jude (or Judah) begins warning corrupt members of a Jewish messianic church community who cast off restraint and live openly immoral lives. He does so with an ancient rhetorical technique found in both the Hebrew Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Jude shares three stories of rebellion in the Hebrew Bible: the spies fearful of the promised land in Numbers 13-14, the sons of God in Genesis 6, and the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19. Then he draws comparisons to the corrupt church members, promising theyll receive the same judgment. Why does Jude write this way about the moral crisis in a church? What is he trying to communicate? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore verses 5-8, unpacking the dense biblical references and what they would have meant to Jude and his audience.

The Letter of Jude E4 In verses 5-7, Jude warns a Jewish Messianic community about a group of people in their midst who live without moral restraint and reject Jesus authority. After comparing them to a series of human and angelic rebels in the Hebrew Bible, Jude then calls out the corrupt church members in verses 8-10 as ones who slander the glorious-ones, referring to angels.

Yahwehs Response to Corrupt Kings in Psalm 2
Psalms 1 & 2 E2 Psalm 2 presents a crisis perpetuated by a long line of corrupt empires in the ancient Near East. Every one of these empires makes a practice of conquering, murdering, raping, and pillaging across the known world, while ancient Israel is just one small nation conquered and occupied again and again. So how do Yahweh and his anointed king respond to this injustice? Surprisingly, a lot like how the evil imperial rulers do: with mocking laughter, hot anger, and by smashing them like pottery! But why? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Psalm 2 as a minority report from an oppressed, ancient people group and an intentionally provocative portrait of God within the broader context of the Hebrew Bible.

Two Psalms That Sum Up the Hebrew Bible
Episode 515
Two Psalms That Sum Up the Hebrew Bible
Psalms 1 & 2 E3 So far in this short series, weve looked individually at Psalm 1 and Psalm 2. Now well look at them side by side. The art of meditating on Scripture involves appreciating every single paragraph, poem, and story, but then also considering what comes before and after, because the biblical authors put everything in this order for a reason! Looking at Psalms 1 and 2 next to each other we find many overlapping words and ideas, so reading both together is crucial for understanding each one individually.

Jesus as the Psalm 2 Royal Son of God
Episode 516
Jesus as the Psalm 2 Royal Son of God
Psalms 1 & 2 E4 The New Testament authors make both subtle and direct claims to Jesus divinity, almost exclusively by referencing Israels Scriptures. In Psalm 2, one of the most quoted passages from the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh responds to the conspiring, violent nations by installing a king (whom he calls his Son) in Israel. Jesus and the apostles frequently use Psalm 2 language to describe Jesus divine identity and unique relationship to God the Father. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore these references in Jesus baptism, transfiguration, and resurrection, while also considering how the Son of God shares his royal identity with his followers.

And theres a lot that sets them apart from the hundreds of other laws God gives to Israel.

Episode 521
2nd Commandment: No Idols
The 10 Commandments E5 In the ancient world, gods (or elohim in Hebrew) were associated with transcendent forces of nature, and humans created statues (mostly of animals) to represent these forces, known as idols.

Episode 522
3rd Commandment: Do Not Carry the Name in Vain
The 10 Commandments E6 Shakespeare wrote in Romeo and Juliet , Whats in a name? In the Bible, it turns out a lot, actually. The creator God Yahweh is the source of all life and good, so his name is the greatest name. But surprisingly, he attaches his name to Israel, a lowly nation of former slaves, and enters into a covenant with them. The covenant starts with a list of 10 commandments, or 10 words, and following these commandments will lead Israel to life and flourishing. In this episode, Tim and Jon discuss the 3rd Commandment, which is all about how Israel will carry Yahwehs name, or represent him to one another and the surrounding nations.

The 10 Commandments E9 Were now entering the second half of the 10 Commandments, where God guides Israel in how to relate to one another. The 6th Commandment is often translated Do not murder.
