Understanding what brings joy and happiness is essential to experiencing them consistently. Good mental health depends on being happy. In this podcast, we will delve into what truly brings lasting joy.

These verses in Genesis move us from the good world to the very good Garden of Eden. When God had finished His work of creating, He sat on His throne and watched over it. God ceased (rested) from creating, but He has never ceased from sustaining the creation. The seventh day has no ending because God will continue to do this forever. The Ten Commandments call us to honor the Sabbath, that is, to h...

One of the most important things a person needs to know is their life's purpose. Our purpose should not be found in our goals and ambitions, because there are many reasons these goals may not be achieved. However, if one understands why all of us are created and the end result, there can be hope.

In this episode, we will cover the things created on days four and five. We will also examine the concept of the soul and determine if animals possess one.https://biblehub.com/text/genesis/1-20.htm

Understanding day four is critical to understanding Genesis chapter one. That is because it is used to prove a young Earth interpretation and sometimes to demonstrate how the account is false. One primary concern is if day four is not the creation of the sun, moon, and stars, it opens the creation accounts to long periods. We should read the account as a story that tells us about our world, so tha...

God tells the land to appear out of the waters, forming a single land mass. Then God tells the land to bring forth fruit. The words used don't give the impression that God created the plants; instead, it is as though the land itself makes the plants. Plants seem to be a part of the land, and flowers are part of the plant.

In these verses, we are told that Yahweh is the one who created the system of rain. The Hebrews lived among a polytheistic nation for hundreds of years, and they needed to learn that the God of their fathers is “one” all-powerful Creator. We also get a glimpse into how to read these early chapters correctly. We are working with a limited language and knowledge, yet the message is accurate and unde...

On day one, a new light came to the earth. As we learned from our previous video, the universe existed, and the sunset and sunrise were present on the first day, so what was that light? We will see what the Bible says about the first day's light and what it means for us today.

In Genesis chapter 1:2, we are told that the earth was, at one time, formless and void. These two words set up the discussion of chapter one. It gives us the information we need to read the first chapter correctly. We will also examine how we should understand the six days of creation.

The first verse of the Bible shapes how you view your very existence. You will either believe that the universe has a purpose or that it is simply a result of chance. Your interpretation of this verse will also influence how you understand the rest of the chapter. Therefore, it is essential to establish this foundation before delving into the rest of the story. The key question is whether the univ...

This is the first episode of the Genesis Verse By Verse. In this video, I am laying a foundation for approaching these early chapters.

In this video, I will use Biblical Theology to explain John 3:16 and show that we often interpret it too narrowly, missing the full message of Jesus. When we take a verse out of context, we can lose some of its meaning; in the worst case, we may misinterpret it entirely.

In this podcast, I will show how Biblical theology can help us understand the Bible correctly. Far too often, false teaching is created by leaving the central story and creating something new. This is an excellent example of how Biblical theology can help us with the topic of tongues. Once you understand what Biblical theology can do, it will be a powerful tool in studying God's Word.

One lesson I've learned in my 40+ years of study is the importance of Biblical Theology. Through many conversations with Christians, I've discovered that most have never been taught biblical theology, and as a result, they do not fully grasp its significance. Biblical theology is essential for interpreting the Holy Scriptures correctly. In this short video, I will provide a clear overview of bibli...

To understand Genesis chapters 1 – 3, you must understand the geography. Many theology is based on a wrong view of the difference between the garden and the rest of the world. In this video, I will do my best to help you have a greater understanding of the world's layout when God created His garden.

Life is won and lost in the mind because we make poor choices when we don't think clearly. Over the years, I have worked with many, many people and have learned that most people do not have a worldview that keeps them on course. They lack a mental foundation to guide them through tough times. In this video, I will share my thoughts on how to win the battle of the mind.

Those who are not familiar with Christianity often wonder what happens to people who have never heard of Jesus. The answer they often receive is that according to the Bible, one must believe in Jesus to be saved. However, this response doesn't seem to address the question logically. I have attempted to provide a thorough answer to this question in a video.

Rules are a good starting point, but they are insufficient to help us make good decisions. God wanted to teach humans wisdom, but we have gone on our own, and now it is very difficult to obtain wisdom. People ask why the Bible is so hard to understand, and the answer is that we lack wisdom. Why are there so many different opinions on everything—because we lack wisdom? In this podcast, I will list...

The Bible is accurate, and our understanding needs adjustment if we perceive a problem. As we learn more about our world, like it not being flat 😂, we learn to read passages differently. We no longer believe the sun rotates around the earth, so we read verses with a different understanding than people 500 years ago. After many years of listening, reading, meditating, and praying, I have learned t...

Romans 5:14 says that others did not sin the same way Adam sinned. The question is, who are they? Commentators have pondered the question. I have learned that we need to think of the Bible as one story and not forget where it started and is going. Using that technique, I think I answered the question. However, it also made me think even deeper about how our sin is connected to Adams. Is it that we...

I have struggled to understand the Book of Job in the past, but recently, I finally found the answer I had been looking for. I am always honest with myself, and if I have a question about something, I don't blindly believe what I am told. I hope that this podcast will provide some insight that will help you not only with Job but also with other parts of the Bible that seem hard to understand.

It has gone unnoticed, but Christians have not been preaching the full gospel. A half-truth is not the whole truth. It is time we start preaching the true gospel. The gospel came to us from Jesus Christ, and he called it the gospel of the kingdom. I will make this clear in this video.

So many people give Christmas gifts and have no idea of the meaning behind it. Then I have heard many messages about giving Christmas gifts that have downplayed its importance. It is usually shadowed with the idea of covetousness. We need to focus on what is good about giving Christmas gifts so that we can better understand the Gift God has given to the world. You can read or print an article I wr...

For centuries, people have wondered what the light of day one was. I think John explains it well. When this powerful truth is understood, it can change your life and the world.

After thinking about it, I realized that the language I was using did not convey the purpose of my teaching. I want a chance to work through this with you. I believe that having a proper attitude toward the first three chapters will change the direction Christianity is heading today! https://husbandman.org
