    Not Just Sunday Book Club: A Christian Discussion of Theo of Golden
    Jul 28 2026
    It's time for another Not Just Sunday Book Club episode! Today, we're discussing Theo of Golden by Allen Levi, a novel that's captivated readers with its vision of beauty, hope, and ordinary acts of love. We explore the book's rich biblical themes, including what it means to see others as God sees them, practice hidden acts of generosity, enter into others' suffering with empathy, and believe that no one is beyond redemption. We also share what we loved, where we thought the novel fell short, and why stories like this can awaken our imagination for the kind of life Jesus invites us to live. Plus, we share the five books we're considering for our next book club and we want you to help us choose our next read!

  • Unlock Ten: The Bible Wasn’t Written To You

    Unlock Ten: The Bible Wasn’t Written To You
    Jul 21 2026
    One of the biggest mistakes we make is assuming the Bible was written directly to us. It wasn't. It was written to real people living in a very different time, place, and culture. BUT. It was written for us. In this tenth episode of our Unlocking the Bible series, we explore seven key realities of the ancient world, from food insecurity and Roman occupation to patronage and family life, that will completely change the way you read the Bible. When you understand the original audience first, you'll discover a clearer picture of what God was saying then and what he's saying to us today. 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss our current series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Book club is NEXT WEEK!

    Unlock Nine: Find Your Place in the New Testament Story
    Jul 14 2026
    Last week, we explored the story of the Old Testament. This week, we discover how the New Testament completes and continues that story. From Jesus announcing God's kingdom to the birth of the church and the promise of restoration, the New Testament isn't just history. It's the story we're living in right now. In this episode, we unpack the Bible's three final acts, explain what it means to live between Jesus' first and second coming, and explore how seeing yourself in God's story changes the way you view your purpose, your struggles, and your everyday life. 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss our current series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Book club is almost here!

  • Unlock Eight: Find Your Place in the Old Testament Story

    Unlock Eight: Find Your Place in the Old Testament Story
    Jul 7 2026
    Last week, we explored the idea that every person lives inside a story. This week, we begin unpacking the Bible's story by looking at the three major movements of the Old Testament: creation, rebellion, and Israel. Along the way, we trace the story of a loving God who creates a good world, watches humanity repeatedly reject him, and yet continues to pursue and restore his people. From Eden to Abraham, Moses to David, the prophets to exile, the Old Testament reveals a God who refuses to give up on those he loves. More than ancient history, this story helps us understand our own lives. The same distrust and rebellion that shaped Israel's story still shape ours today. And the same faithful God who kept showing up for them is still at work in our modern world. 🔔 Subscribe now & don't miss an episode of our brand-new series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Join our book club!

  • Unlock Seven: The Bible is a Story

    Unlock Seven: The Bible is a Story
    Jun 30 2026
    The stories we believe shape the lives we live. Whether it's our family background, cultural values, or past experiences, every one of us is living inside a story that helps us make sense of the world. But what if the story guiding your life isn't the whole story? In this episode, we introduce the Bible not as a rulebook, but as God's story. We discuss why understanding the Bible's overarching narrative helps us make sense of our own lives, find purpose in ordinary moments, and see that our lives are part of a story much larger than our own. It's the beginning of a bigger conversation that we'll continue over the next two episodes as we explore the stories of the Old and New Testaments. 🔔 Subscribe now & don't miss an episode of our brand-new series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Join our book club!

  • Unlock Six: Is the Bible Historically Accurate?

    Unlock Six: Is the Bible Historically Accurate?
    Jun 23 2026
    For many, one question stands in the way of reading the Bible: Can it actually be trusted? In this episode of our Unlocking the Bible series, we explore the historical reliability of the New Testament and examine the evidence scholars use to evaluate ancient documents. We discuss manuscript evidence, textual variations, archaeology, eyewitness testimony, and the question of whether the biblical text has been changed or corrupted over time. We also compare the New Testament to other ancient works, address common objections, and explain why many historians take its claims seriously. We end by considering why confidence in the Bible ultimately comes back to confidence in Jesus himself. 🔔 Subscribe now & don't miss an episode of our brand-new series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Join our book club!

    Unlock Five: The Bible is a Library
    Jun 16 2026
    Ever feel lost when you open your Bible? That's understandable. The Bible isn't a single book. It's a library of 66 books written by dozens of authors across more than 1,500 years. Without a basic roadmap, it's easy to get overwhelmed. In this episode of our Unlocking the Bible series, we explore the Bible's major sections, how they fit together into one unified story, and what makes each part unique. We also discuss Bible translations, where to start reading, and a few simple tools that can help you navigate God's Word with greater confidence. 🔔 Subscribe now & don't miss an episode of our brand-new series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Join our book club!

  • Unlock Four: The Bible is About Jesus

    Unlock Four: The Bible is About Jesus
    Jun 9 2026
    Could you be reading the Bible for good advice while missing the good news altogether? Many Christians approach the Bible looking for principles, rules, and practical tips for living. But the Bible isn't primarily a book of good advice. It's the story of a gracious God rescuing spiritually dead people through Jesus. In this episode of our Unlocking the Bible series, we explore the difference between moralism and Christianity, why simply trying harder can never transform your heart, and how every passage of Scripture ultimately points to Jesus. We also discuss a practical framework for reading the Bible: identifying your need, acknowledging your inability to meet it, and discovering the grace God provides through Christ. 🔔 Subscribe now & don't miss an episode of our brand-new series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Join our book club!
