Here’s a good rule of thumb: If you want to understand God’s Word, you first have to understand God’s words. Today we slow down over a few verses in 1 John as Kelly gives us some great study tools to understand this beautiful but tricky passage. So, what say you? Wanna diagram a sentence together?

The wrath of God gets a bad rap. So it may surprise you that you actually love it more than you think. Let us prove it to you on today’s episode where we explore a passage that has never ever made it onto the side of a coffee mug…Nahum 1.

What could possibly be more horrifying than the end of everything? ANSWER: ...yeah right, like we're gonna give it away here. Join J&K today as we jump into one of the toughest books around (Revelation) to answer that question. Fact: What we discover in this episode may be the key to understanding every hard passage in the Bible.  We couldn’t answer every question about this passage but we...

Passage: Ecclesiastes 6:1-9 …not by this episode. By your desires. Sit with us at the feet of a VERY disappointed man, King Solomon, as he laments…well…everything. Oh yeah, in this episode we also discover that Kelly is the better Christian (as if we didn't know that already). Ok, there’s more but you gotta listen to the show for that. We couldn’t answer every question about this passage but w...

Jimmy can sing the genealogy of Jesus. The end. Thank you all for coming! 👋 Just kidding… Today we’re discussing the genealogy of Jesus Christ from Abraham to Joseph! Questions we ask ourselves after a passage like this: - Why should we care about genealogies? Why do they matter? - Why memorize the genealogy of Jesus Christ? - Why is Joseph included in Jesus’ genealogy? We couldn’t answer every q...

Fun fact, you shouldn't do everything you read in the Bible. There is some pretty messed up stuff in there! This brings up an important question: How do I know if the Bible is telling me to do something (prescriptive) or if it is just describing something that happened (descriptive)? Let's talk about it and delve into some big no-nos found in scripture. We couldn’t answer every question ab...

Hey friends, it's just another Clearly episode talking about wrath, satan, and God sending an evil spirit to torment someone.

We couldn’t answer every question about this passage but we certainly hope that we helped! Want to ask more questions? Email question@jimmyandkelly.com....

“Jacob I loved and Esau I hated.”  That’s right; it's the verse you see on every mug, bumper sticker, and family Christmas card.  It’s time to get uncomfy and question our worldview.

Otherwise, jump into today's passage as we wrestle with prophecy, interpretation, and how we are all bent toward the prosperity gospel if we're not careful.  Need a little more about...

All up in the feels today, folks! Not ours, God’s. Everyone wants to talk about their feelings, but let's take a second and listen to what God feels in the book of Hosea. Plus, we learn a new fun nerd word: Impassibility! Hey, remember when we talked about a specific emotion (fear) and God? You can take a listen to that episode here: Apple Spotify Youtube ---- Join our email list: jimmyandkell...

The God of the Old Testament feels like a bit much…until we realize maybe we are not seeing things as CLEARLY (see what I did there?) as we should. May we be zealous for God's honor like Phinehas. Also, great baby name. Didn't get enough information on foreign women in the Bible or need some dating insight? Check out our past episode on that very topic! Apple Spotify Youtube ---- Join our...

What does 1 Corinthians 11 mean when it says women should cover their head? Is there anything we can take away from this passage? Are men off the hook in this section? (short answer...nope!) There is so much to be learned from these tough passages. So get out your headcoverings and listen in! Need more encouragement from controversial passages on women? Check out our episode on women speaking in c...
