  • Trying to learn the Bible and this explains it so well

    I am newly back in the Bible and I am trying to learn it all. I have such a hunger for the work and listening to this podcast every day on my lunch break from work. I am learning so much. I appreciate Jenn more than she knows. I hope she continues to do this for many many years.

  • Easy to listen to and understand.

    I just started listening in Feb of 2026, and I’m hooked. Jenn is easy to listen to and takes the Bible into bite sized lessons and breaks them down. I have learned more in the last month than I have my entire Christian life. If you need baby steps into the Bible, with a kind voice, this is the podcast!

  • Parkour to avoid the Truth

    Listened to the episode about Hebrews 3 recently. She spent more time in Hebrews 6, trying to explain how “it doesn’t really mean what it says,” never really addressing the text. Not worth listening to. Unfollowing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2 Chronicles 17 - God Is Ready To Help
Q: What is your New Year's resolution?
The host's resolution is to make this year better than last year, which they've succeeded at nine out of ten times.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: What happens if a new convert becomes an elder?
They should not be offered a leadership role too quickly due to the risk of pride and not being grounded in their faith.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: What about adult children who are not following God? Does that disqualify an elder?
It's debated; adult children make their own choices, and parents shouldn't be charged for their sins, but training kids well is important.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: What about a single man or one without children, can he be qualified to be an elder?
Yes, because Paul and many disciples were unmarried, a wise single man can still be a suitable elder.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: Can an elder be divorced and still be qualified?
It can depend on circumstances such as if the spouse left or if there was infidelity; some argue such divorces don't disqualify a man from being an elder.
