- 866Believing the Unbelievable with Dr. Nijay K. Gupta - Episode 867Our friend and one of our favorite theologians around here, Dr. Nijay Gupta, is back! If you're like me and geek out when talking all things Scripture, I think you're really going to love this episode. Not only is Dr. Nijay a professor of New Testament, but he’s also a senior translator for the NLT Bible, the New Living Translation, which we’re using for the month of April on Let’s Read the Gospels. So clearly this is our guy for all our questions! Today we talked about the first Christians being so different from Roman culture, the mystery of God and time, and the reputation problem of Christianity. Dr. Nijay is just so brilliant! Be sure to grab a copy of his newest book, Strange Religion: How the First Christians Were Weird, Dangerous, and Compelling. . . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

- 871Humility and the Unknown with Dr. Joel Muddamalle - Episode 872After reading Dr. Joel Muddamalle's new book called The Hidden Peace, I knew we HAD to have him on to talk about the Gospels as we prepare to head into Holy Week.

- 887The Book of Revelation with Matt Chandler - Episode 883Ok, y’all know I loved getting to do a deep dive on the Gospels and the book of Acts in April. Well, we’ve got one more conversation to close out that series (FOR NOW)! Today, we’re talking about the book of Revelation. My friend, Pastor Matt Chandler has a brand new book called The Overcomers that I think you're going to love! The book of Revelation can be overwhelming, intimidating, and honestly even scary at times, but Matt talks about how it's actually a message of encouragement, hope, and motivation. I can't wait for you to hear our conversation about what eternity will look like, being a lukewarm Christian versus being a disciple of Christ walking through a desert, and of course our deep dive into the book of Revelation. Gosh, I love getting curious about the books of the Bible! . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube? Head on over to our YouTube Channel and be sure to like and subscribe! . . . .
