In this special Live from the Break Room episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, two honest questions spark thoughtful biblical conversations.

Lost In Translation: What is Worship? (Episode 20) 30.06.2026 18:36
What comes to mind when you hear the word worship? For many people, it’s music, singing, or a Sunday morning service. But worship is much bigger than a song list or a musical style. In this episode of Lost in Translation, we explore what the Bible actually means by worship and discover how worship is not merely something we attend—it’s a life lived in response to the worthiness of God. Join us as...
Lost in Translation: What are we being saved from? (Episode 19) 23.06.2026 20:15
What do Christians mean when they say someone needs to “get saved” or “come to Jesus”? These phrases are common in churches, but they often raise a deeper question: Saved from what?

Christians use phrases like “ask Jesus into your heart” and “give your life to Christ” all the time. But what do those expressions actually mean? Are they found in the Bible?

What's Up With the Ethiopian Bible? (Episode 17) 09.06.2026 13:13
The Ethiopian Bible contains more books than most Christians are familiar with—and it belongs to one of the world's oldest Christian traditions. So does that mean our Bible is missing something? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we explore the history of the Ethiopian Bible, why it includes books like Enoch and Jubilees, what makes a book Scripture, and how Christians have hist...
Did God Kill a Man for Trying to Help? (Episode 16) 02.06.2026 19:21
Why would God strike a man dead for trying to keep the Ark of the Covenant from falling? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we wrestle with one of Scripture’s most unsettling moments: Uzzah’s death in 2 Samuel 6. Was this an overreaction—or a sobering revelation of God’s holiness? We explore what the Ark represented, what God had actually commanded, and why this story forces us...
What Time is It for God? (Episode 15) 26.05.2026 13:00
Is God experiencing time the way we do—moment by moment, second by second—or does He stand outside of time altogether? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we tackle one of theology’s most mind-bending questions: Is God inside of time, outside of time, or somehow both? We’ll explore what Scripture says about God’s eternity, His relationship to creation, and what it means that the...
Will We See Our Pets Again? (Episode 14) 19.05.2026 20:43
Do animals go to heaven? And will we ever see the pets we’ve loved again? In this episode of Curious Faith, we explore what the Bible says about animals, creation, and the promise of restoration. While Scripture doesn’t answer every question directly, it does reveal a God who cares deeply for His creation and promises to make all things new. Join us as we consider what hope, eternity, and redempti...
Would You Stop the Fall? (Episode 13) 12.05.2026 12:41
If you had the chance to go back to the Garden of Eden, would you stop Adam and Eve from sinning? It sounds like an easy answer—but what if the implications are deeper than we realize? In this episode of Curious Faith, we explore the Fall, God’s sovereignty, and how the story of redemption shapes our understanding of what’s truly at stake. What would we lose if sin never entered the world? And wha...

If We Forget God… Does He Forget Us? (Episode 11) 28.04.2026 14:49
What happens when someone who once trusted Christ begins to lose their memory—and even their ability to remember Him? And what about unborn children or those too young to fully understand the Gospel? In this deeply personal episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we explore how salvation relates to memory, understanding, and the condition of the human mind. Looking to Scripture, we’ll consid...
What Does Jesus Mean by “Lukewarm”? (Episode 10) 21.04.2026 13:32
What does it really mean to be a “lukewarm” Christian—and how do you avoid becoming one? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we look at Jesus’ warning in Revelation 3 and unpack what lukewarm faith actually looks like. Is it apathy, self-sufficiency, or something more subtle? We’ll explore how spiritual drift happens, the difference between struggling and settling, and how to cul...
Does God Decide Everyone’s Eternal Destiny? (Episode 9) 14.04.2026 22:56
Romans 9 raises one of the most difficult questions in Scripture: does God choose some people for salvation—and others for judgment? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we walk through Romans 9:21–29 and explore what Paul means by “vessels of mercy” and “vessels of wrath.” How do we understand God’s sovereignty without misrepresenting His character? And how do we hold together di...

How do you evaluate yourself honestly without drifting into pride or insecurity?

Did Jesus Give the Church the Power to Forgive Sins? (Episode 7) 31.03.2026 12:12
In John 20:22–23, Jesus tells His disciples, “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them.” But doesn’t Scripture teach that only God can forgive sins? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we explore what Jesus actually meant in this surprising passage. We’ll look at the context of Christ’s commission to His disciples, how the original language clarifies the meaning, an...
Does Being Quoted in the Bible Make a Book Scripture? (Episode 6) 24.03.2026 12:12
If the New Testament book of Jude quotes the Book of Enoch, why isn’t Enoch included in the Bible? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we explore how the biblical canon was recognized, why quoting a source does not make it Scripture, and how ancient Jewish and Christian communities evaluated religious writings. We’ll also look at what scholars mean by “pseudepigrapha” and why the...
Can Someone Claim Christ While Refusing to Surrender to Him? (Episode 5) 17.03.2026 12:12
If someone professes faith in Christ but openly lives in a way Scripture calls sin, what does that say about their relationship with God?

Rather than focusing on one particular sin, we step back and ask a deeper question: How does...
Does God Want Us to Fake It? (Episode 4) 10.03.2026 17:34
James 1:2 tells us to “count it all joy” when we face trials — but what does that really mean? Is biblical joy a deep confidence in God’s work, or does it sometimes become a spiritual mask we wear to avoid admitting pain? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we explore the difference between genuine, gospel-rooted joy and pretending everything is okay. We’ll look at how sorrow and...
Is Taking Precautions a Sign of Weak Faith? (Episode 3) 03.03.2026 13:36
Is it possible to take wise precautions and still fully trust God — or do those compete with each other? In this episode of the Curious Faith podcast, we explore the difference between prudence and fear, human responsibility and divine sovereignty. Does trusting God mean rejecting practical protection, or does God often work through those very means? We’ll look at what Scripture says about wisdom,...
Is There Still a Judgment for Christians? (Episode 2) 24.02.2026 12:15
Did the cross remove all judgment — or is there still something ahead for believers? In this episode, we unpack what it means that Christ bore our punishment and what Scripture teaches about the judgment seat of Christ. Clear answers. Gospel assurance. No fear-driven confusion.
Why Curious Faith? (Episode 1) 17.02.2026 8:13
Why build a podcast entirely around questions? In this first episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we unpack the heart behind the show — why questions are not threats to faith but invitations to deeper understanding.
