Your Bible pulsates with the kinetic energy of thousands of years, 66 books, 40 authors, 3 continents, 2 languages! It has space wizards, and dragons, and knights, and scientists, and detectives. It is a wild, wild epic. And it all tells the story of how the God that created it all is redeeming it back to Himself. Your Bible is a whole universe waiting to be explored. So grab a cup of coffee, crack open your Bible, because we want to explore it together. There are some really confusing things in your Bible that we want to make sense of, too. We don't have Bible degrees or think we're right about everything. We just have a love for this incredible transcendant epic.

The beatitudes have been discussed by the most famous Christian thinkers for centuries. These blessingings become the building blocks of Christ’s kingdom. Yet, we may be so familiar with them that we don’t actually know what they mean and how they will transform our lives. In this episode of Bible Unbound, we take a deep dive into Jesus’ most famous words: The Beatitudes.

But how is this possible? He is not able to do this through the sheer force of will or faith but by the power of the Holy Spirit guiding him into humility. In fact, that’s what Paul’s letter to the Philippians is all about — meaning that there is a great irony that lies behind Paul’s letter to the Philippians.

According to the Bible, Mary was not a courtesan, not a romantic interest of Jesus, and not the woman caught in adultery. Instead, what little we do have to go off of is far more bizarre, and far more hopeful than anything we could imagine. Therefore, it’s important that we understand her story rightly because by it we see God’s work in Christ for the salvation of the world.

Your Bible pulsates with the kinetic energy of thousands of years, 66 books, 40 authors, 3 continents, 2 languages! It has space wizards, and dragons, and knights, and scientists, and detectives. It is a wild, wild epic. And it all tells the story of how the God that created it all is redeeming it back to Himself. Your Bible is a whole universe waiting to be explored. So grab a cup of coffee, crack open your Bible, because we want to explore it together. There are some really confusing things in your Bible that we want to make sense of, too. We don't have Bible degrees or think we're right about everything. We just have a love for this incredible transcendant epic.
