In the episode G and I cover the letter to the church in Philadelphia. Jesus had many great things to say to this church, and this is the second letter that did not include threats or warnings of the removal of their "lamp stand."

In this episode, G and I cover the letter to church in Sardis. This is one of the shortest letters written to the churches, but what Jesus had to say was not so good.

Join us as we breakdown each verse and compare this letter to...

This episode focuses on our high school seniors across the world. G and I talk about how "The Great Commission" resembles how high school seniors are sent out just like Jesus sent out the disciples.

In this episode we dive deeper into two questions: 1) Is the book of Isaiah a reflection of Revelation? 2) What happened to John 5:4? Because it's not there in the ESV version of the Bible.

For 1 Corinthians s...
