Unsettled, with Martin Nyanzu

Churches didn’t affirm same-sex marriage overnight. It started somewhere. In this episode, we trace the historical and theological road from one compromise to another.   We walk through church history to see how denominations shifted — from the ordination of women to the affirmation of LGBT practice. What was the connecting thread?   The answer centers on Galatians 3:28 — “neither male nor female…...

How did we end up with 66 books in the Bible? Who decided? Why are Catholic and Protestant Bibles different? And what about the “lost books” like Tobit, Maccabees, or the Gospel of Thomas? In this episode, we trace the real story behind the formation of the Bible’s canon — Old Testament, New Testament, and the controversial Apocrypha. No conspiracy theories. Just history, theology, and the provide...

The Bible didn’t fall from the sky as one book.  40 authors. 66 books. 1,500 years. Visions. Theophanies. Jesus Himself. In this episode we keep going in our Biblical Interpretation series and ask: How did this book actually come to us? If God is the Author, what was the process? Heb 1:1-2Because if you don’t know how the Bible came, you’ll misread what the Bible says.   Listen: Every podcast app...

In the last days, we are told many will be lovers of themselves (2 Tim 3:1-2). Our culture is obsessed with the self, even Christians. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Obed Kwame Adjei, a hematology and oncology fellow. We discuss the beauty and limitations of the human body.

In this episode, we discuss why Christians will not direct hatred or death threats towards the organizers of the Paris 2024 Olympics. Visit www.liveunsettled.org/programs for more informatio...

There is no doubt some passages in the Bible describe events (descriptive) while others are direct commands (prescriptive) from the biblical authors to us. These are observations one cannot miss from reading the Bible. However, any suggestion that we are to obey or live by prescriptive and not descriptive passages is misleading.  In this episode, we break down how the biblical authors tell us what...

Like Paul, from time to time, enemies of Jesus encounter him and give a testimony about him. In this episode, we share the story of an ex-gang member who is now a follower of Jesus.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the center of the Christian faith. All other Christian doctrines lead up to it or take their departure point from it. Paul said, the entire Christian faith would be ineffective if Christ did not rise, we would still be in our sins (1 Cor. 15:17-18) In this episode, we treat five lies skeptics often push to discredit the resurrection, and how you can answer th...
