  • Rich in Knowledge and Wisdom

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a little over a year now. It’s by far my favorite discussion/commentary style podcast about biblical principles, currents events from the Christian perspective, and deep insights into the revelation of Jesus Christ. If you also listen to Cole and Terry’s sermons, this podcast gives a little insight into how they prepare their teachings. It’s been incredibly beneficial for someone like me who is wanting to get into ministry and doesn’t have the proper schoo... more

  • Calm Voices That We Need

    Great podcast. I love how they mix it up with each new episode. They will take you through biblical chapters and enhance your understanding of the scriptures one week. They’ll recommend books and discuss their themes in another. Then they will take a look at cultural norms in today’s society through the lens of Biblical thought. Discussions are well thought out and I learn something new each listen. It has also enhanced my discipleship with my family and friends. Big thanks to Cole and Terry for... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jesus in Ezra
Q: How instrumental do you think Daniel was in Cyrus giving the decree to send the people back?
Cole and Terry discuss Daniel's potential influence on Cyrus, highlighting that while God had ordained Cyrus to lead the exiles back, Daniel's high regard among the Persians may have contributed to the decision.
Education in the Age of AI
Q: What are some of the things parents could do today that would make for more successful students long term, given the education system and AI?
Parents should consider reducing their children's screen time and focus on teaching them to think critically and engage personally with the material, instead of relying heavily on technology.
Israel and Iran: What Does the Future Hold?
Q: Do you think this will result in regime change in Iran?
I personally don't think so due to the lack of strong Iranian resistance and the current governmental structure.
Israel and Iran: What Does the Future Hold?
Q: Do you think this will further the goal of the Abraham Accords?
I think it accelerates the Abraham Accords, opening the door for other significant players in the Middle East to normalize relations with Israel.
Jesus in Judges
Q: What is the judges' cycle and what do you make of it?
The judges' cycle involves a pattern of sin, oppression, crying out to God for deliverance, and then peace, which ultimately deteriorates over time, illustrating the futility of human nature in the absence of divine kingship.
