What You'll Learn in This Episode: The Conventional Strategy (Linear Reading): Following t...

Many believers unknowingly misuse the Bible as a talisman, a debate tool, or a weapon to fight personal enemies. In Part 3 of the Reading the Bible series, we explore the fourfold purpose of Scripture found in 2 Timothy 3:16–17, revealing why God's Word was designed for inward heart transformation rather than outward combat with human or household enemies. Key Highlights in This Episode: The T...

Reading the Bible without understanding its literary styles is one of the fastest ways to misinterpret God's Word. You cannot read a Psalm the same way you read a legal contract, nor can you treat a parable as literal history. When we flatten the Bible into a single, uniform text, we risk turning historical descriptions into direct commands or missing the underlying principles God intended for us...

In this episode of Bible Study with Bumi , we take an unexpected journey through Acts 27 , unpacking the detailed story of the Apostle Paul’s perilous voyage to Rome. Rather than focusing solely on a specific topic, this session dives verse-by-verse into a scripture that was "screaming to be paid attention to." We explore how Paul’s experience at sea mirrors the personal, professional, a...

Many believers spend their lives waiting to hear a dramatic, thunderous voice from the heavens, concluding that if they don’t experience an audible phenomenon, God isn’t speaking to them. In this episode of Knowing the Holy Spirit , we dispel the misconceptions around hearing God, pivoting into a beautiful exploration of the internal mechanics of divine communication: Spirit to Spirit . We explore...

When Jesus embodied "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" on earth, the disciples had a physical person to follow. In this episode, we discover how the Holy Spirit continues that embodiment of truth by living in us. You will learn that the Holy Spirit's role is not just to comfort us, but to guide us into the absolute integrity of God's Word and provide us with a "deep experien...

In this episode, we dive into one of the most comforting and powerful roles of the Holy Spirit: The Helper . Drawing from Jesus’ final promises in John 14 and 16, we explore the Greek concept of the Paracletus: the one called to our side to aid, advise, and strengthen us. Jesus was clear: He would not leave us as orphans. He provided an Advocate to take His place, act on His behalf, and empower us...

Why did Jesus, being fully God, still need to be filled with and led by the Holy Spirit before beginning His earthly ministry? In this episode, we explore the vital "Why" behind the Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives.

What would you say if you knew you only had a few days left with the people you loved most? In the natural, we call this "setting our affairs in order," but in the spiritual realm, Jesus was doing something far more profound. In the concluding episode of our "Knowing Jesus" series, Bunmi Oduah explores the final discourses of Christ found in John 14–17. These were not just part...

In this pivotal episode of our "Knowing Jesus" series, we explore the profound and exclusive claim Jesus makes in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." While modern culture often suggests there are many paths to God, Jesus was unapologetically definite. He didn't claim to be one of the ways; He declared Himself the only way to the Father. Understanding Jesus a...

We continue our deep dive into the life of Christ as the ultimate roadmap for the believer. In this episode, we explore the practical dimensions of Jesus’ earthly ministry, reminding us that He didn't just come to secure our salvation, but to demonstrate the "original intent" of humanity: to rule, reign, and walk in constant communion with the Father. Jesus is the "visible image...

In this episode of the "Knowing Jesus" series, we shift the focus from Christ’s glorified nature to the practical, lived-out example He set while on earth. If Jesus's only purpose was to save us for heaven, we would have been called home the moment we believed. Instead, Jesus came to show us how to live as God’s "image-bearers" on the earth. Jesus is described as the "...

We dive into the scriptures...

As we embark on a year of "Prepared Blessings and Places," it is vital that we don't just focus on the prophetic words we receive, but on the Person who spoke them.
