A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE (October 10, 2025) 2:18

2h ago2:18

2:18

It’s natural enough to prize what benefits me most. Self-interest is the driving force in almost all our culture. Do I like it? Does it taste good? Did it make me laugh? Does it put money in my pocket? We measure almost everything by what we get and gain. And so it’s natural to think of something as extravagant as God’s unprecedented kindness as a …

Have you ever listened to a dull and tired song—only to be stirred and thrilled when it reprised in some new, higher key? Then you know something of the grace of God, whatever else your story tells. Grace comes to us as unexpected joy when our performance, short or long—had lifted neither us nor anyone around us. We were muddling through the music,…

Walter Veith vs Bible Versions Part 1 33:37

7d ago33:37

33:37

This episode delves deeper into the outlandish claims put forth by Walter Veith. The central focus is his opposition to modern Bible translations and his steadfast support for the King James Version (KJV), which is based on the Textus Receptus (TR). Veith's position elevates the Textus Receptus to the status of the "gold standard," essentially equa…

A LONG AND GRACIOUS STORY (September 26, 2025) 2:03

14d ago2:03

2:03

When most of what we read and see is governed by some soulless algorithm built to anger us or sell us something—it’s hard to know if joy is real, if love is kind, if gentle words are really meant to bless. And yet joy lingers, gentleness persists, and tens of millions of times a day, someone whispers “I love you” to a child, a spouse, a friend, a f…

“He’s so much better than I am,” we say, proving just how little we know of someone else’s life. “She’s a saint,” we say admiringly, assuming that the woman we can see is always just as good as we imagine.

COMING OUT OF THE DARK (September 12, 2025) 2:13

28d ago2:13

Going underground is one of humanity’s oldest responses to fear, war, or pestilence. Archaeologists have uncovered vast subterranean cities, carved out by those who believed that living in the light made them vulnerable. Victims of persecution, fugitives—even families fleeing natural disasters or climate shifts—all chose to dwell where only torches…

GRACEFULLY WRONG (August 29, 2025) 1:40

Most of us inherited a God no kinder than we were—a deity whose major role seemed meting out tough penalties for willful or impetuous mistakes.

So it is that finding grace is th…

Grace isn’t fully knowable inside the monuments we’ve built.
