Tackling the complex, confusing, and controversial stuff of the Bible and life.

That pretty much sums up what we do here on Clearly: Helping demystify the Bible so you can discover the big-dealness of God. Cause when He becomes everything, everything gets better.

  • So Thankful for Clearly

    I have a hard time listening to other podcasts now that I’ve found Clearly… It is just so well done. It has the appropriate use of humor to engage, while not discrediting the rich truths about God and His Word that they so faithfully wrestle with each episode.

    I believe the ministries of Jimmy and Kelly Needham have impacted my faith and desire for God more than any other resource (apart from the local church). God has used this podcast to confront some unbiblical ideas about Him and His Word t... more

  • 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.

  • One of my go-to podcasts!

    Clearly Podcast is a great resource for Christians, regardless of where you’re at in your faith journey. They tackle really tough topics with clear biblical answers, and every episode is blessed by the presence of Jimmy’s goofy humor. I love both Kelly and Jimmy and love how they exposit the Word to answer some of the most challenging theological questions out there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gluttony Q&A
Q: What should you do if you see gluttony in someone else?
Address it with care and motive rooted in honoring the Lord, ensure your approach is not about body shaming, and engage in conversation with a posture of prayer, humility, and offering support toward spiritual freedom.
Gluttony Q&A
Q: How do you deal with gluttony when you need food to live and can't cut it out completely?
The hosts acknowledge the complexity of the issue and suggest a combination of repentance, confession, mindful eating, gratitude, and strategic self-control, including fasting and accountability, rather than aiming for total elimination of food.
Is God Punishing You, Is Calvinism is Dumb, Can Sadness Be Sinful? Q and A
Q: Can sorrow be sinful? If so, how can we tell if we're sinning in that way?
Yes, sorrow can be sinful when it becomes worldly grief that dries up action or turns the heart away from God; godly sorrow, in contrast, leads to repentance and productive change that aligns with righteousness and trust in the gospel. The key is whether the sorrow moves you toward God and righteousness or remains self-focused and immobilizing.
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.
