  • Truth of the Bible

    This podcast is my very favourite one. I love the Israel stories, the Bible Q&A, just every bit of it.

    I have learned so much of Israel through this podcast. I heard you’re offering the book “Should Christians support Israel?”

    You are probably not shopping to Canada?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Digital Amnesia
Q: What did the ancients use for memorizing long passages of Scripture?
Meyer recommends reading passages aloud, listening to them repeatedly and writing them out, or combining those methods.
Digital Amnesia
Q: What's the best entry point to begin memorizing scripture?
Meyer advises keeping it simple by learning a verse a week, preferably from a short passage with a connected flow of thought.
A Hunger for Prophecy
Q: How do you begin, though, to address this huge gap?
Spader says Future Hope is developing Bible-centered prophecy resources and training institutes to prepare youth pastors to teach eschatology, responding to students' desire to hear about the hope of Christ's return.
A Hunger for Prophecy
Q: What caused you to launch this new ministry called Future Hope?
After studying the Bible's teaching about the end times and seeing teenagers' strong interest at a youth prophecy conference, Dan Spader felt called to train the next generation and equip youth leaders to teach Christ's return.
The Battle for Heaven and Earth
Q: If the audience for this verse is born again, folks, what does that statement mean? If you are living according to the flesh, you must die.
Gerald Peterman says Paul is describing a defining lifestyle rather than an individual sinful moment. A life characterized by the flesh reflects separation from God, while a Christian may still experience moments of failure.
