As Israel attacks Iran and the news analysts go into overdrive, the Bible provides key principles that give insight about the current moment and what is prophesied to lie ahead.

The claims were bold: Extinct species—resurrected! Thanks to genetic engineering, huge, white, fluffy dire wolves are again among us. Or are they? In the podcast this week, we look at the claims, look at the facts, and look at the Bible for guidance in how to think of it all. Join us!

The death of Pope Francis brings attention to divisions in the Roman Catholic Church—divisions which students of Bible prophecy would do well to watch. Join us today as we talk about why.

This week, we revisit a classic episode, asking the question, Why is there a second holy day at the end of the Days of Unleavened Bread? We'll jump back in anew at the very end for a closing thought, but we know many of you are new listeners to the podcast, and we hope you enjoy this episode from much earlier in the podcast's history! And we hope, as well, that you have an edifying and u...

The Spring Holy Days represent an opportunity for self-examination, and in this week's podcast, we look at three different ways sin is defined in Scripture, each expanding on the others. We hope you find it helpful and that your Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread are rich and meaningful.

As the Passover season approaches, in today's episode we reflect on one woman's example that has been told and retold for 2,000 years, just as Jesus prophesied it would be. Her sacrifice of an alabaster flask of oil holds many lessons for us.

God wants us to obey His commands even when it is difficult to do so. And, in a broken world, even the Fifth Commandment—to honor our father and mother—can feel like a real challenge. Today, we discuss some of those challenges and how to approach them.

If life seems good, we might be tempted to think we'd like Christ's return to come later instead of ASAP, maybe after we've "lived" a little more. But with a little perspective, it becomes clear: We have every reason to pray with sincere conviction, "Your kingdom come!" Join us as we talk about it.

It's easy to think of Jesus Christ's commission to do the Work of God and reach the world with the truth as something  other people do. But it isn't! It's something you and I—and everyone in God's Church—play a role in. So today we discuss seven very real ways you can help with God's Work, ways you can begin doing  today!

If you did not believe that the Bible was the inspired word of God, would you still have cause to believe in Jesus' resurrection? It was a real question for the Gentiles to whom Paul preached, who were unfamiliar with the Bible, and it's a real question for many today.
