Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch this also at DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. What do you do when the bottom falls out of your world? When the unforgivable happens, and you can’t do anything to fix it? Do you grieve honestly, or armor up and move on, using coping strategies that only cover the wound? This prayer is for hurting, angry, wounded people. There is a God who says you should feel outra...

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch this and more on our DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. But how do we pray when someone crushes, betrays, abandons, abuses, or robs us? Our gut screams for God's righteous wrath. It's human—even for believers. We Christians tsk-tsk vengeance from a safe distance. Yet quotes like Nietzsche's ring true: "It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; ev...

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch this also on YouTube DrBillSenyard. Top Ten Prayer #6 comes from Paul, the very heart of his important letter to the Ephesians. If you want to understand Ephesians, you need to have digested this prayer. It is that important—and life changing. What if we've made prayer harder than it needs to be—and seen too little fruit? What if experiencing even 10% more...

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch me also on DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. Top Ten Prayer #7 comes from a young woman who has just heard from an angle of all beings that she is pregnant. “I am the Lord’s servant. May it be to me as you have said.” One sentence. No sermon. No bargaining. No delay. Just surrender. Welcome to Gospel Rant Podcast and DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. As I...

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch me also on DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. “What? The Lord’s Prayer is #8--not even top 5? Irreverent?” I get it. It’s Jesus’ words—familiar, revered. But spoiler: Top 5 are also Jesus’. After decades studying its context, its genius isn’t the script—it’s why Jesus answered, “How should we pray?” t...

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Also watch me on YouTube (DrBillSenyard) The Spirit’s Groan (Rom 8:22–27) This one’s different. It’s technically not our prayer at all. It’s the Spirit’s prayer, uttered when we can’t form words. But that’s exactly why it belongs in the list. This is God praying for you, in you, when you’re past praying. Welcome to Gospe...

Top !0 Prayers of the New Testament #10 Welcome to Gospel Rant! Also watch me on YouTube (DrBillSenyard). Whenever I speak about prayer, there are always a few in the room who are riding a wave—bright, wind-filled, sun-splashed. Prayer feels natural to them. Intimate. Dynamic. Answered. They speak of God’s nearness the way others speak of weather: frequently and with delight. If that i...

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Dr. Bill is going to look at Job’s frustration with God and how he tries to deal with Him.  We will see what you think. Here’s my rough translation of 7:20, So, Man-Watcher- so let’s say hypothetically that I did fall short of perfection (which I am not pleading guilty to at all), in the big scheme of things, what real difference does it really make t...

The Gospel According to Job 4   Welcome to Gospel Rant! Dr. Bill is going to suggest that a helpful way to look at the book of Job is a dual sting, a two way con. Satan is trying to con God using Job—but in a bigger sense God is conning Satan—using Job. Messy? Yep. Unnerving? Yep—not the way we usually think of God, and yet…It makes a lot of sense. What do you think?...

The Gospel According to Job 3   Welcome to Gospel Rant! Dr. Bill is going to suggest that we have misunderstood  how we are to ‘win’ in our Christian walk. It is not about the Retributive Principle at all. In fact, the clue is found all the way back in Genesis. Here’s one very provocative quote in this show. “Faith says that God’s wisdom is such that there i...

This is Part 7 of our series: The Church the Holy Spirit Built. Luke continues to highlight the powerful themes shaping this early movement—based on legitimate eyewitness accounts. There was a surprising unity, a deep sense of shared purpose, radical generosity, and undeniable power. So what was going on? If I had to sum it up for Theophilus, I’d simply say: “…and much gra...

Remember how this whole series began? Luke is writing to Theophilus—likely to explain what got into those original disciples of Jesus… and what kept driving the movement over the next 30 years, transforming it into an international phenomenon unlike anything the world had ever seen. And now, Luke turns up the volume even more. 👉 Like 👉 Share 👉 Comment 👉 Subscribe Your interaction...

This is Part 5 of our series: The Church the Holy Spirit Built. I’m continually amazed by the transformation of Peter. Who told him he could heal a crippled man? What if it hadn’t worked? What if he became a public joke? Wouldn’t it have been safer—and more practical—to just start a GoFundMe for the guy? And yet, there he is. Bold. Unfiltered. Taking a wild, Spirit-le...

Thanks for the great feedback from the last show on Chapter 2 of my newest book, Before the Couch. It is available now on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible. It is not meant to take the same approach as so many other books that, if you are a struggling marriage, you;’ve probably tried. And how’s that going for you. The approach in Before the Couch has helped lots of Christian couples that cam...
