Hello again! In this new series, Jeffrey, Christopher, and Elise Fleming will walk through the book of Jonah in three "Acts." Our goal is to dive deeper (pun so intended) into this perplexing story and ask it lots of questions. This will be more than the usual children's bible story book romp. Take a deep breach and hop over the edge with us.
In last week's episode, we discussed many potential dangers of using AI technology to study the Bible. This week, we look at the other side of the coin, exploring how wise and judicious use of AI can help us dig more deeply into the God's Word than ever before.
A panel of subject matter experts in Bible study and preaching join the Brother Cousins on this episode. In this series we explore the utilization of AI technology with Bible study and teaching. This episode works through questions and principles of how AI might hinder quality teaching.
Join the Brother Cousins along with Ian Jones for the last episode of the 2025 AWM coverage.

Welcome back! After a pause on new content, we return with a special guest, brother Jackson Lindgren. In this episode, we dive into a topic which is very impactful, but rarely discussed--the curation of media consumption. With more and more choices about what we watch, and in light of our finite time, it's important to make wise, Christ-honoring choices in this area. Today we discuss some concepts and strategies to help us do that.
