In this special episode, we address a topic that has been hotly contested for a very long time. But why is that so? Rev. Ryan shows us that the reason, quite simply, is because people refrain from finishing the passage.

After battling sickness and quite a few other life distractions, Reverend Ryan is back with this brand new episode.. Listen as Reverend Ryan discusses how to spread the message of the Bible through listening to others and letting the text speak for you. Reverend Ryan provides a practical example of how to implement this as he listens to someone's quest for purpose and showing in scripture how God provides purpose to all of us.

Our Christmas episode wraps up the first two chapters of JONAH. What does the author want to tell us as we reach the end of Act 1 of JONAH?  Join Reverend Ryan as we see how the author wants us to see Jonah, the Ninevites, Christ, and others at the end of the first act of JONAH.

Episode 4 sheds light on the nature of God through the imprecatory psalm given to Jonah through the Spirit in Jonah 1:17-2:10. It also gives us examples of what happens when we try to make the text conform to our view of God rather than let the text tell us who God is.   Bibliography  Brewer, Julius A.
