The Bible Thumpers

Tonight on episode 78 of the Bible Thumpers podcast we continue week three of our Lent study Clinging to the Cross by The Daily Grace Co.

This week reminds us that the cross was not...

Tonight’s episode felt extra meaningful as we gathered on Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, and opened our new study Clinging to the Cross by The Daily Grace Co. We slowed down and really talked through what Lent actually is, not just tradition but intention. We explored why believers historically set aside this season to reflect, repent, and refocus their hearts on Christ’s sacrifice. We also...

We wrestle with the idea of robbing God, what real repentance actually looks like, and why faithfulness matters even when...

Episode 73 was one of those sit down stay awhile kind of episodes and we had the best time digging into Malachi chapters 1 and 2 together. We open up this powerful little book and immediately step into God’s heart for true worship, honest obedience, and leaders who actually live what they teach. Malachi does not tiptoe around hard truths and neither do we. We talk about half hearted sacrifices, sp...

Tonight’s episode was a big one as we wrapped up our full 12 week journey through the book of Acts by diving into chapters 27 and 28.
