A sermon titled "When A Person Gives Himself To Satan" presents Judas as a man who progressively gave himself over to sin, ultimately leading to betrayal and destruction. But is that what Scripture actually teaches?

We begin a series about Judas and looking at him in a deeper way than he may typically be talked about.

We check out a revival meeting that took place in Virginia

What are the "15 rules of hermeneutics" that preachers often reference—and do they actually exist? In this episode, we trace the origin of these so-called rules, examine their historical development, and carefully evaluate each one.

I received an email from a ministry that asked, Is This The Psalm 83 War? The email had a link to a video, so let’s review the video together

A sermon claims Isaiah 6 teaches how to experience "personal revival." But is that actually what the text is about? In this episode, we examine the passage carefully and ask whether "personal revival" comes from Scripture—or is being read into it.

A study of Luke 15 turns into something else entirely. In this episode, we examine how meaning gets imported into the text—and why that's a problem. Are we hearing Scripture… or speaking over it?

Does unbelief limit God? Matthew 13:58 is often used to explain why miracles don't happen—but is that what the text really says?

I visited a Lutheran church this morning and saw Ezekiel 37—the valley of dry bones. My first thought: Not again.

Ephesians 5 presents a problem no one can easily solve. In Part 1, we saw the weight of its commands—and the reality that we don't live them. In this episode, we step back and examine the structure of Ephesians itself. And instead of resolving the tension… it only gets worse. So what are these commands actually doing?

A program about how people listen to sermons wrong… gets a basic historical fact wrong.

What happens when we stop explaining Ephesians 5—and just read it? In this episode, we strip away assumptions, theological systems, and familiar explanations, and face the chapter as it actually appears: a relentless series of commands.

If you've ever felt "on fire" spiritually… and then watched it fade… this episode is for you. Why does it happen? Why does something that feels so real… so powerful… so life-changing… disappear so quickly?

I review a portion of a sermon about God's plan and abortion

A sermon on Psalm 42 claimed the psalm is basically about David in a backslidden state. But does Psalm 42 actually say that? Before continuing the sermon review, this episode pauses to examine what the Bible really means by backsliding.

A sermon recently uploaded to SermonAudio caught my attention. The title: "How Important Is the Lord in Your Life?" The text: Psalm 42:1–5. We review it.

A listener comment pushes the popular claim that Genesis 15 foreshadows Christ's death to its logical conclusion. The result exposes a serious theological problem and highlights the danger of making Scripture say what it never actually says.
