The Brother Cousins

In this episode we discuss the strident call of Lady Wisdom, and it's parallel to Christ's call to reject worldly wisdom and embrace the wisdom of His Kingdom.

As promised last week, this week we dive deeper into the connected themes found in Proverbs chapter 8, The Gospel of John chapter 1, and Colossians chapter 1--the creative power of the wisdom of Christ and it's impact on us in His Kingdom.

In this episode, Jared and Christopher examine the revelation of Jesus' wisdom from Proverbs 3-8 as we see the idea of wisdom personified.

We've been talking about wisdom found in unexpected places, and now we are pivoting to exploring the wisdom of Jesus. Int his series we will discuss the meaning of true wisdom, and how the unsearchable wisdom of Jesus confounds the wisdom of the world.

Howdy yall. In this week's episode we continue discussing some notable creatures from Proverbs 30. Last week the creatures we discussed were impressive because of their wisdom, not their size or strength. In this week's episode, we discuss creatures of awesome bearing, including the world's most dangerous apex predator--humanity. Enjoy!

Join the BROCOS as we look into Proverbs 30:24-28 and learn wisdom from some seemingly insignificant critters that teach us some great lessons. Enjoy! 24 There are four things which are little on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise: 25 The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their food in the summer; 26 The rock badgers are a feeble folk, Yet they make their homes in the crags; 27...

This week we resume coverage of leadership and authority in the Kingdom of Christ; this time, focusing on the office of Elder.

What is an Evangelist? What is the scope of his work? What are his qualifications? To answer these (and other) questions, we invited our mentor, brother, and good friend, David Minson. David is a seasoned evangelist who is sagacious while still relatable. Enjoy the show. Or the tell... Or whatever it is.

Today, Jared, Jeffrey and Christopher interview evangelist Dallas Carrasco. Dallas is relatively new to the full-time work of evangelism, and we think you will enjoy his fresh, passionate perspective on ministry in Christ's Kingdom.

After many weeks of heavy business on the podcast, we decided it's time for some light-hearted fun. Soooo, this episode is totally devoted to silly Bible-based and dad jokes. Please allow us to apologize in advance. Enjoy! (or, groan). Please post your best Bible or "Dad" jokes in the comments!
