  • The podcast you didn’t know you needed.

    I love this podcast so much. Not only does it make me laugh, it makes me think. It challenges me to spend more time in the word. It makes me want to dig in more and more. It also helps to broaden my understanding of difficult passages and points me every time, back to Jesus. Each episode is better than the last.

  • Great insights

    The Clearly Podcast is very God-centered and, for many reasons, really helpful if you want to know the Bible better. It inspires us to enjoy studying it and in every episode we can contemplate different aspects of God and cristianism. Besides that, Jimmy and Kelly are funny and great teachers! They explain things really well and often tell stories or use metaphors to better illustrate what they’re saying. Also, they make great recommendations, which is very useful. I see that they really use thi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jesus in Hell, Bible Translations Contradictions & When Unbelievers Die
Q: Did Jesus descend to hell after he died?
Yes, the hosts acknowledge a descent into a Hades/Sheol framework where Jesus proclaimed the accomplished redemption and the victory over death, but not to suffer further atonement there; the cross completed the necessary atonement, and descent serves a different communicative purpose.
Venting Is Gossip, Demon Offspring, and Your Mental Health
Q: When do food and lifestyle choices move from liberty issues to wisdom issues where you act foolishly?
The boundary is not just sin versus non-sin but whether a choice fuels or diminishes your affection for Jesus. If an activity consistently reduces your longing for God, it's wise to reconsider, even if it isn't categorically forbidden; aim to maximize the bonfire of love for God in all decisions.
Venting Is Gossip, Demon Offspring, and Your Mental Health
Q: How do faith and mental health interact? Can gospel truth and therapy or medical approaches coexist?
They can coexist. The gospel provides the foundation and motivation for healing, while therapy, sleep, stress management, and sometimes medication can support the body and mind. The key is to evaluate everything through biblical discernment, ensuring actions align with gospel motives and aim toward deeper reliance on Jesus.
Venting Is Gossip, Demon Offspring, and Your Mental Health
Q: What is the difference between verbally processing a hard situation involving other people and gossiping or venting? Where is the line?
Verbal processing should aim to address the issue directly with the person involved, not to spread the matter or seek comfort in others' validation. The line is crossed when the conversation shifts from seeking resolution to sharing with a broader audience or venting without a constructive end, which can harm relationships and obscure accountability.
The Real Difference Between Calvinism and Arminianism
Q: What are some of the leading misconceptions about Arminianism or Calvinism that people often mischaracterize?
A common misconception is that Arminianism is Pelagian or semi-Pelagian, which the guest disputes, noting that Arminius maintained original sin and the necessity of grace, while also arguing for a genuine capacity to respond to grace without denying human responsibility. They also clarify that the debate is not about God being unable to save everyone, but about how freely chosen faith and divine sovereignty interact within salvation.
