    Romans is one of the most theologically dense books in the New Testament and we did not want to take it on ourselves. Huge thanks to Dr. Jason Borders from Huntingdon College in Montgomery for helping us launch into Paul's epistles.

  • Episode 144: Acts 21-28 with Dr. Joel Green
    Oct 11 2024

    If you've ever studied Luke or Acts with any kind of academic integrity you've certainly read something Dr. Joel Green has written. I (Clay) was most fortunate to have stumbled in his class my first semester of seminary and we consider ourselves just as fortunate to have had this conversation with Dr. Green to wrap up the book of Acts.

    Huge thanks to Dr. Green for joining us.

    Join Clay and Ross as they break down Acts 15-20 and the implications following Christ could have on your savings account or political influence. Also, Paul bored a kid to death.

  • Episode 140: John 18-21
    Jun 29 2024

    We've decided John's account of the crucifixion and resurrection are our favorite of the four gospels and the reinstatement of Peter after his denial is a beautiful story or redemption.

    And with that we've finished the Gospels!
