Episode 217 - "Welcome to Analogy Land"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Engage in Gospel-Centered Conversations In this episode, we finish our “Getting to Square One” Guided Study by discussing disciple-making practices. We open with a focus on the way Jesus asked questions. Then, we share a few of our Favorite Things to guide gospel-centered dialogue. It’s interesting how even our common, everyday conversations connect with the “holy conversations” we want to engage in as we bring God to the forefront and work through life’s most important issues. We pray this series has built you up and contributed to your efforts to share the good news. Go to biblegeeks.fm/squa

CONTRONYMS: Finished. "Cleaving." Bound. Who Wears the Crown?

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! A contranym is a word that serves as its own opposite. (How does anyone ever learn English as a second language?) This week we’ll discuss whether being “finished” means completing your work or leaving it incomplete; whether “cleaving” is tying something together or breaking something up; whether being “bound” assures you of being mobile or being stationary; and whether “to wear” is to endure the hardships of the world or to be destroyed by them.

Basic Christianity: Idolatry with Kris Emerson

Kenny Embry · Balancing the Christian Life

Send us Fan Mail What happens when good things take God's place in our lives? In this conversation with Kris Emerson, we pull back the curtain on idolatry, revealing its subtle forms in the 21st century. We discuss how finances, family, and even our own righteousness can become idols if we're not careful, and how easily we can replace God's plan with our own. Ultimately, we explore the challenge and freedom of surrendering to His will. Seven Key Takeaways: Idolatry is anything that replaces God: It's not just about physical idols; anything we prioritize over God becomes an idol. As Jesus said,

Episode 216 - "I Reason At You"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

See Disciple-Making Like Jesus What lie does Satan try to sell you about evangelism? And how does Jesus reframe our approach to evangelism? Here in session two of our Getting to Square One guided study, we examine our disciple-making paradigms. Whether you’ve tried selling salvation like Ginsu Knives or given up thinking people don’t care, an A-Team of evangelists like Ananias and Philip can teach us a better way. We want to make disciples Like the Teacher, so this week we rethink our timelines, strategies, and beliefs about it. The Big Idea: Most people need more than just the facts; they nee

Jesus' Fulfillment of Psalm 119

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

Jesus Fulfills Psalm 119 Psalm 119 and Jesus General Pictures: Jesus as the Word- While there are 177 synonyms for God’s law, word found in Psalm 119. Jesus is the ultimate embodiment of Word. The Word has become flesh and dwelt among us- John 1:1-14 He does things Psalm 119 attributes to the Word. The Word gives light in 119:105, 130 and Jesus is the Light- John 8:12; 9:5. Jesus fulfills the picture of the Psalmist trusting God, His word, and seeking to follow Him. See the comments below about the Servant beginning with Psalm 119:17. Jesus fulfills the picture of the God in whom the Psalmist

S4 E22 - We Need Some Perspective

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Hurricane Helene came through and did some damage to our area, but absolutely nothing compared to other areas of the country. At first, our kids were pretty upset about no power and no tv/internet. But once they learned that that other people were losing their entire homes and communites, that was no longer important. They needed some perspective. I think we all do. We can be so entitled, ungrateful, and complain about everything. But if we just gained some perspective, we would learn rather than complain, to be lights, we ought to be grateful. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

HEAVEN, part 2: with Kenny Embry and Edwin Crozier

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! I usually try to stick with the “What I’ve been preaching,” “What I’ve been reading,” “What I’ve been playing” format with my guests. But for whatever reason, I decided to break from that and just talk regular talk with my guests, Edwin Crozier and Kenny Embry. Links to the good work they each do are in the show notes. In this part of the conversation, we discuss our song worship — perhaps the closest thing we get to heaven in this life.
