Black, White, and the Red Letters

Send us Fan Mail A “dry” genealogy in Matthew 1 turned out to be the very bridge that connected the Old Testament to the New for a skeptical reader. What started as a list of names became a powerful reminder that Jesus’ messy family tree—full of saints, sinners, kings, and outcasts—was God’s intentional way of showing His grace is for everyone. No matter your past, Jesus stepped into our brokennes...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus took His disciples to the darkest spiritual place in Israel—Caesarea Philippi, a stronghold of pagan worship and unspeakable evil—to ask the most important question ever: “Who do you say that I am?” In that moment, Peter declared the truth: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Today, in the chaos of our own broken culture, Jesus asks us the same question—not for...

Send us Fan Mail Ever wondered why John didn’t just start with a birth story or a genealogy? Because he’s not messing around—he’s dropping a truth bomb right out of the gate: Jesus is God, not just some teacher with cool parables. In this episode, we unpack how “the Word became flesh” is way more than a Christmas slogan—it’s the claim that the Creator of the universe put on skin to dwell among us....

Send us Fan Mail This week, Jay & Ed discuss the fact that a lot of people are cool with Jesus—but not necessarily with His followers. Why? Because too many Christians talk a good game but live a different story. The reality is that 99 out of 100 people won’t read the Bible—they’ll read you . If your life doesn’t line up with the gospel you claim to believe, you’re just fueling the fire of dou...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus isn’t just after your behavior—He’s after your heart. In this episode, we unpack how anger and lust aren’t just emotional slip-ups; they're the root of deeper sin that Jesus calls out. Legalism might dodge the letter of the law, but Jesus raises the bar and exposes what’s going on beneath the surface. 

Send us Fan Mail What did Jesus mean when He said our righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees?

In this episode, we unpack what it means to stop striving for checkbox religion and start resting in the righteousness only Jesus can give. 

Send us Fan Mail  Racism isn’t just ugly—it’s unbiblical. Romans 3 drops the hammer: there is no distinction —not in sin, and not in salvation. Whether you grew up squeaky clean or wrecked and ruined, every one of us starts in the same bucket: lost. But God offers the same gift to all—redemption through the blood of Jesus, received by faith alone. 

Send us Fan Mail  What exactly is faith—and is it really blind? In this episode, we dive into Hebrews 11:1, the Bible’s most iconic definition of faith, and unpack what it means to have confident trust in the unseen. Through multiple Bible translations and a little logic-meets-theology, we explore how faith is anything but irrational. If you've ever wrestled with doubt or pitted faith against...

Send us Fan Mail Most of us grow up thinking we have to earn our way to heaven—be good enough, moral enough, kind enough. But Genesis 15:5–6 flips that idea on its head with one radical truth: Abraham was counted righteous simply because he believed . In this episode, we unpack what it really means to be saved by grace through faith, not by works, and why that changes everything about how we relat...
