Beers & Bible Podcast

This week on Beers & Bible , we continue through Romans 12 and look at what genuine, gospel-shaped love looks like in the life of the church. Paul reminds us that Christian love is never fake, shallow, or passive. It hates what is evil, clings tightly to what is good, honors others above self, serves the Lord with zeal, rejoices in hope, stays patient in suffering, and remains steadfast in pra...

This week on Beers & Bible , we continue through Romans 12 and Paul’s call for believers to think soberly about themselves. The Christian life is not about pride, comparison, or chasing the gifts of others. It is about receiving God’s grace with humility and using what He has given us for the good of the body of Christ. Paul reminds us that the church is one body with many members. Not everyon...

🍻 Romans 12:1–2 This week we step into Romans 12 and Paul’s call to live in light of the mercies of God . After eleven chapters of rich gospel truth, Paul turns to the practical response: present your bodies as a living sacrifice , holy and acceptable to God. Christian worship is not just something we do on Sunday morning. It is the whole life offered back to God in gratitude for the grace we hav...

🍺 This week we work through Romans 11:25–36 and Paul’s sweeping conclusion to God’s plan for Israel, the Gentiles, and all creation. We discuss Israel’s partial hardening, God’s irrevocable promises, and the mercy that both Jews and Gentiles desperately need. Paul reminds us that no one can boast before God, no one can counsel Him, and no one can place Him in their debt. The passage ends in worsh...

Romans 11 — Gospel Jealousy, Grafted Grace, and the Mystery of Israel In this episode, we walk through Paul’s powerful teaching in Romans 11: Israel’s stumbling, the riches of the gospel going to the Gentiles, and God’s continuing purpose for His people. 🌿 Paul reminds us that Gentile believers have been grafted in by grace — not so we can boast, but so we can stand in humility, holiness, and awe...

🎙️ A Remnant by Grace In Romans 11, Paul asks the question: Has God rejected His people? His answer is clear — certainly not. This episode walks through God’s faithfulness to His people, the danger of apostasy, the comfort of the remnant, and the mystery of salvation coming to the Gentiles. From Elijah feeling alone to Paul reminding us that God always preserves His people, Romans 11 shows us that...

Romans 10 reminds us that evangelism is not a backup plan—it’s God’s chosen means of bringing His people to faith. 📖 Paul shows that no one calls on Christ without first hearing of Christ, and no one hears unless the gospel is proclaimed. Election doesn’t kill missions; it gives missions confidence. God has ordained both the salvation of His people and the preaching that brings them to faith. So...

Episode 292 of the Beers & Bible Podcast walks through Romans 10:1–13 and Paul’s burden for Israel: they had zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. Religious passion is not enough if it is aimed in the wrong direction. Paul shows us that our righteousness cannot be built on effort, law-keeping, or personal merit. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. T...

In this episode of Beers & Bible , we continue through Romans 9 and wrestle with one of the weightiest sections in Paul’s letter: God’s wrath, God’s mercy, and the righteousness that comes by faith. Paul reminds us that God is perfectly just in making His wrath known against sin. He does not punish the innocent or act unjustly. The Judge of all the earth always does what is right. But Romans 9...

Romans 9 keeps us face to face with one of the hardest truths in Scripture: God is sovereign in mercy, just in judgment, and never unrighteous in anything He does. In this episode, we talk through double predestination, Pharaoh’s hardened heart, the removal of divine restraint, and the potter-and-clay picture that reminds us we are not in a position to put God on trial. Even when we cannot fully t...

Romans 9 doesn’t shrink God down to fit our idea of fairness. It lifts our eyes to His justice, mercy, and absolute sovereignty. This episode dives into the hard but beautiful truth that grace is never owed, mercy is always undeserved, and God is never unrighteous in the way He saves. Jacob got mercy, Esau got justice, and that reminder should leave us humbled, grateful, and in awe of a God whose...

Romans 9 is a humbling reminder that Jesus is not merely part of the story—He is over all, the eternally blessed God, worthy of our faith, worship, and trust. God’s Word has not failed, and His promises have not fallen short, even when many reject Him. His truth still stands, and His Spirit still works through it. This chapter also confronts our pride. Salvation is not inherited by family line, ea...

Romans 9 starts with weight. Paul doesn’t speak coldly about truth—he speaks through grief. He wrestles with the hard doctrine of election, not by avoiding Scripture, but by submitting to it. At the same time, his heart breaks for his fellow Israelites, a people who had received so many covenant blessings, yet missed Christ. This chapter reminds us that God’s Word must shape our beliefs, and God’s...

Romans 8 ends with one of the strongest promises in all of Scripture: if God is for us, no one can ultimately stand against us. Because the Father did not spare His own Son, we can rest in the certainty that our salvation is secure from start to finish. No accusation from Satan, no condemnation from the world, and no suffering in this life can overturn what Christ has accomplished for His people....

God’s grace didn’t begin when we believed—it began in His eternal purpose. In Romans 8, Paul shows that those whom God foreknew, He also predestined, called, justified, and glorified. This “Golden Chain” reminds us that salvation is not fragile or dependent on human effort, but secured by the sovereign love of God in Christ. We were not only foreknown, but foreloved—set apart by God’s grace to be...

Romans 8:28 gets quoted like a blanket promise… but Paul puts guardrails on it. 👀 “All things work together for good” isn’t for everybody—it’s for those who love God , meaning those who are called according to His purpose . That “call” isn’t just an invitation. It’s effectual —when God calls, something actually happens. Like creation: God didn’t ask for light… He spoke, and light was. In the same...

Creation is groaning… and so are we—but not without hope. 🕊️ Romans 8 reminds us: suffering isn’t pointless, prayer isn’t powerless, and God is never absent. The Spirit helps in our weakness, and the Lord is working—even the hard things—toward ultimate good for His people. 🍺 Anthony: Downtown Cigars Light Lager — Ghost Train Brewing 🍺 Michael: Pecan Pie Porter — Clown Shoes Brewing Hold fast. Ke...

Romans 8 hits different when you realize what’s on the table: Because of Christ, you’re not just “forgiven”—you’ve been adopted . You can cry “Abba, Father” … not with cheesy casualness, but with bold intimacy and holy reverence. And when doubts creep in, assurance isn’t finally built on vibes or self-checklists. The Holy Spirit bears witness that we belong to God—and He does it through the Word ,...

Romans 8 exposes the stark reality that there is no neutral ground between humanity and God: the fleshly mind is hostile to Him because it refuses His law, and a life set on the world ends in death. Those who remain “in the flesh” are not merely unwilling but unable to please God—religious effort, morality, and good intentions cannot change that verdict. Hope breaks in with the gospel “but”: belie...

Romans 8 opens with a word that changes everything: “Therefore.” After all the struggle, guilt, and war with sin in Romans 7, Paul lands on this breathtaking truth— “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Not less condemnation. Not temporary relief. None. Past sins, present failures, even the sins you haven’t committed yet—if you are in Christ, the verdict has already bee...

Romans 7 gets real fast. 😅 In this episode, we walk through Paul’s honest confession: “The good I want to do, I don’t do… and the evil I hate, that’s what I keep practicing.” (Rom. 7:19) The Christian life isn’t always a straight line—it’s a battle between the new man who delights in God and the lingering pull of the old man still fighting from within. We talk about: 🍻 Why the hardest moments ar...

EPISODE 278 — Romans 7:15–25 (Part 1): The War Within 🍻📖 Ever read Romans 7 and think, “That’s me” ? Paul puts words to the tension every Christian knows: I want to obey… but I don’t. I hate the sin… yet I keep stumbling into it. This episode is a reminder: there are no shortcuts in sanctification. God often frees us slowly , not because He’s absent—but because He’s teaching us to depend on grac...

Episode 277 dives into Romans 7 and the hard truth that God’s law isn’t the problem— sin is . Paul shows how sin hijacks the commandment to stir up “evil desire,” exposing that our biggest issue isn’t just what we do, but what we want deep down. The law “awakens the sleeping giant,” bringing conviction that drives us to Christ, while sin deceives us by promising pleasure as if it were happiness—on...

Episode 276 (Romans 7) is where Paul takes us into “uncharted waters” with a simple but powerful picture: marriage . The law has dominion as long as someone lives—so in Christ, we died to the law as a way of salvation, and we’ve been married to Another : the risen Jesus. The result isn’t lawless living, but fruit for God —serving in the newness of the Spirit , not the oldness of the letter. We als...

You knew it was coming....once episode with Michael and Anthony talking college football. We recap 2025 and just hang out while we review a couple of beers. Here's to what God is going to continue to do through B&B in 2026! Soli Deo Gloria!
