  • Wait, Isn't David Already Married?
    Sep 29 2026

    David is impressed by Abigail's wisdom, courage, and quick thinking—but apparently he's impressed enough to propose. There's just one complication: David is already married. In this episode, we unpack David's proposal to Abigail, the surprising speed of their relationship, and what this moment reveals about David's increasingly complicated family life. Was polygamy accepted in ancient Israel? Why does the Bible record it without necessarily approving it? And how do David's choices here foreshadow some much bigger problems to come?

  • The New Jerusalem: What Will Eternity Really Be Like?
    Oct 6 2026

    What will eternity actually be like?

    The Bible's picture may be different from what you've imagined. In Revelation 21, John sees a new heaven and a new earth—and the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. It's a breathtaking city of enormous dimensions, streets of gold, gates of pearl, and the glory of God illuminating everything.

    In this episode, Matt and Todd explore what the Bible tells us about our eternal home, what the New Jerusalem will be like, and why the greatest thing about eternity isn't the gold, the beauty, or even the absence of pain. It's that God Himself will dwell with His people.

    Aug 5 2025

    In this episode, we reflect on the death of Jesus Christ—not just as a historical event, but as the central act of God's redemptive plan. Why did Jesus have to die? What did the crucifixion accomplish? And how should His suffering shape the way we understand God, ourselves, and salvation? Whether you're exploring faith or deepening your walk with Christ, this conversation invites you to consider the gravity and glory of Calvary.

  • Abigail & David: The Courage to Listen
    Sep 15 2026

    David had already shown remarkable restraint with Saul—but when Nabal insults him, that restraint disappears. With 400 armed men behind him, David sets out for revenge.

    Then Abigail steps into his path.

    In this episode of Bible Stories, Matt and Todd unpack the remarkable story of Abigail, David, and Nabal in 1 Samuel 25. Abigail's courage, humility, and wisdom stop David from making a decision he would have regretted for the rest of his life.

    Sometimes God's grace looks like forgiveness after we fail. Other times, it looks like someone stepping into our path before we fail.

    Can we remain teachable when we're angry? Are we willing to listen when someone challenges us? And can we have the courage to be an Abigail for someone else?

    Plus, an unexpected fire alarm makes this one an episode to remember.
