Play Pause

1:16:36

This week I talk to Chris, the mind behind all things Unrelenting Brush. Chris is first and foremost a commission painter but he is also more than that and you get the feeling that he is becoming more than that. I wont talk about it any more here, you can listen to the show. But I can say that it was really fun and interesting talking to Chris and …

Uncommon Common Sense 32:27

9h ago32:27

32:27

Share a comment What if the real steering wheel of your life isn’t your plans but your heart’s hidden lean? We explore Ecclesiastes 10 with vivid images—dead flies in perfume, a fatal leap from the Eiffel Tower—to show how “small” follies corrode trust, reshape direction, and eventually announce themselves through our actions. This isn’t about fear…

The Lord Reigns (Psalm 96–99) 13:02

7h ago13:02

13:02

Share a comment When the scoreboard of life looks bleak, what if the final score is already printed? We walk through Psalms 96–99 to explore a bold claim that reshapes fear, purpose, and hope: the Lord reigns. From the first call to “sing a new song” to the closing vision of a holy King in Zion, these psalms draw a straight line from salvation to s…

Expect the Unexpected 34:54

4h ago34:54

34:54

Share a comment When life doesn’t play by the rules, most of us feel disoriented and a little angry. Ecclesiastes 9 names that ache with startling honesty: the fastest runner loses, the strongest army falls, the most skilled employee gets passed over. We take you into Solomon’s world to confront five jarring truths about outcomes, chance, and the l…

Created and Guided by our Creator God (Psalms 93–95) 13:37

14h ago13:37

13:37

Share a comment Start with the ruins and listen for the roar of hope. We open Psalms 93–95 where a returning Levite stares at a shattered Jerusalem and chooses a bigger truth: the Lord reigns, robed in majesty, and history unfolds under His steady hand. That vision doesn’t deny pain; it gives courage to rebuild, obey, and witness when opposition fe…

Dancing Before the Grim Reaper 28:33

6h ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment What if the path to real courage runs straight through the truth we most avoid—our own mortality? We open Ecclesiastes 9 and find not despair but a daring invitation: live fully under God’s hand, receive simple gifts with gratitude, cherish your closest relationships, and throw your whole heart into the work before you. We start by …

Counting Down the Days (Psalms 90–92) 13:15

2d ago13:15

13:15

Share a comment Time gets real when you can hold it in your hand. We take a candid look at Psalm 90–92 and show how translating years into months can turn abstract wisdom into daily action. Moses’ prayer—teach us to number our days—becomes a practical rhythm through a simple marble-in-a-vase practice that keeps priorities honest, fuels gratitude, a…

The Missing Piece 28:33

4d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment Ever feel like you’re working a thousand-piece puzzle and the last piece is missing? We walk through Ecclesiastes 8 and name the frustrations most of us carry in silence: leaders who misuse power, public saints who live private lies, justice that moves like molasses, and rewards that seem to land on the wrong people. Instead of pret…

Lessons on Loneliness (Psalm 88–89) 13:11

7h ago13:11

13:11

Share a comment Loneliness doesn’t always arrive with an empty room; it often walks beside crowded schedules and smiling faces. We open Psalms 88 and 89 to face that ache head-on and discover why Scripture refuses to sanitize the struggle. Heman the Ezrahite, a seasoned choir leader, sings a prayer that lives in a minor key—no quick fixes, no neat …

Bringing Wisdom to Work 30:32

3d ago30:32

30:32

Share a comment Work can feel like a battleground where unfair treatment, clumsy policies, and flawed leadership test our convictions. We walk through Ecclesiastes 8 to explore how authority truly works, why obedience matters, when to say no, and how patience and wise speech can turn tense moments into redemptive ones. Along the way, a World War II…

The Balance and Behavior of Wisdom 28:33

12h ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment When life doesn’t play by the rules—when the righteous suffer, the wicked prosper, and laughter feels thin—wisdom becomes more than a virtue. It becomes survival. Walking through Ecclesiastes 7, we explore how Solomon, late in life, turns from image and excess to a rare, grounded wisdom that faces sorrow honestly, embraces humility,…

How to Make a Fresh Start with God 13:42

4d ago13:42

13:42

Share a comment Feeling spiritually dull, distracted, or distant from God? This conversation charts a practical, hope-filled path back to joy and close fellowship, anchored in Psalms 85–87. We unpack why revival is for believers—those already made alive in Christ who need the Spirit’s smelling salts to wake desire and restore direction—and how conf…

Following the Best Advice 28:33

1d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment What if the most life-giving classroom is the house of mourning? Solomon’s counsel in Ecclesiastes 7 doesn’t flatter our egos; it sharpens our focus. We walk through four “better” choices that transform how we navigate an unpredictable world: contemplate your casket, choose your companions, cultivate your character, and consider you…

Judging the Judges 13:00

1d ago13:00

13:00

Share a comment What do you do when power gets twisted and the people meant to protect end up harming? We step into Psalms 82–84 with Stephen Davy to face injustice head-on, explore accountability for leaders, and discover how real peace can take root before any court sets things right. This is a journey from outrage to orientation: God is just, He…

The Sting of Consequences and the Song of Confidence 13:36

2d ago13:36

13:36

Share a comment What do you do when the fallout from your choices feels unbearable? We walk with Asaph through Psalms 79–81 and find a clear path forward: own the consequences without excuses, cry out for compassion with honest humility, and rediscover joy through worship that remembers God’s faithfulness. The backdrop is grim—Babylon has burned th…

Like Father Like Son 28:33

10d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment A bold promise with no map changed Abraham’s life—and it can reframe ours. We dive into Romans 4 to show how justification rests not on pedigree or performance but on faith in the risen Christ, and we press that theology into everyday decisions where obedience often arrives before explanations. Along the way, we challenge the modern…

A Chain Reaction of Truth 13:50

3d ago13:50

13:50

Share a comment A single footprint in the sand can change everything. We open with a milestone: The Wisdom Journey is launching on satellite TV in Arabic, bringing verse-by-verse Bible teaching to millions across the Arabic-speaking world. That global step sets the stage for a message drawn from Psalm 77 and Psalm 78—where God’s hidden footprints m…

Abraham and Islam 28:33

11d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment Who really belongs to Abraham’s family—those with the right ancestry, or those with the right faith? We follow Paul’s lead and ask a simple question that cuts through centuries of argument: what do the Scriptures say? From Romans 4 to Galatians 3, the promise to Abraham narrows to a single point of focus—the Seed—and widens to welco…

God Always Has the Final Word 12:34

6d ago12:34

12:34

Share a comment What do you do when the fallout from your choices lingers and the path ahead feels slow and heavy? We walk through Psalms 74–76 to trace a hopeful arc: from the ashes of Jerusalem’s temple and Asaph’s aching how long, to God’s set time of judgment, to a stunning rescue that left an empire’s army silent. Along the way, we grapple wit…

The Hopeless Case 28:33

4d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment Hope isn’t glitter for bad days; it’s the framework that holds us together when life unravels. We start with a small classroom moment that changes everything—Miss Thompson’s compassion for Teddy Stollard—and follow that thread to Abraham’s long wait for a promise that defied biology, calendars, and common sense. Along the way we con…

Finding Answers in the Sanctuary 12:12

13d ago12:12

12:12

Share a comment When life looks unfair and the loudest wins seem to go to the least deserving, it’s easy to slip into resentment. We sit with Asaph in Psalm 73 as he names those hard questions, then watch the hinge moment: stepping into God’s sanctuary and seeing everything—success, suffering, and the future—through a clearer lens. That shift doesn…

Origins 28:33

15d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment What if the way we answer “Where did life begin?” quietly decides how we live, love, and hope? We journey from Romans 4 to Genesis 1 and Revelation to make a clear case: a real Creator is the foundation of human dignity, moral clarity, and lasting meaning. Along the way, we examine why science can measure the world with precision ye…

Ruling Out the Law 28:33

16d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment Grace doesn’t discount the price—it pays the whole bill. We explore why the law was never meant to save you, how it functions like a mirror that reveals but can’t repair, and what it means to receive an inheritance you could never earn. Using Abraham as our guide and Romans 4 as our map, we unpack the difference between righteous de…

Asking Seven Forbidden Questions 11:35

16d ago11:35

11:35

Share a comment A worship leader ready to resign, a heart full of envy, and a sanctuary that changes everything—Psalm 73 reads like a journal entry we were never supposed to see. We walk with Asaph as he watches the ungodly thrive in wealth, ease, health, and status, and he dares to ask the questions many of us hide: Why do those who ignore God see…

Walking With God Through Life 11:50

15d ago11:50

11:50

Share a comment When prayer is urgent and the clock seems cruel, what do we say, and how do we trust? We dive into Psalms 70–72 to explore the arc from “Make haste, O God” to gray-haired praise and a father’s blessing that outlives a crown. The journey begins with David’s short, desperate cry that proves sincerity matters more than length. It then …

The Sign and Seal of Faith 28:33

17d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment What if the timeline of Abraham’s life overturns everything you thought about how God saves? We walk through Romans 4, Galatians 3, and Genesis to show why Abraham was counted righteous long before he received any covenant sign—and why that changes how we think about faith, ritual, and belonging. By contrasting Abraham and David—bot…

Forgiven . . . Forgotten 28:33

16d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment Ever felt the urge to make amends with God by doing more, promising harder, or waiting out your guilt? We go straight at that instinct and uncover why it can’t save you—and why Scripture offers something far better: forgiveness that is carried away, covered, and never counted against you. Drawing from Romans 3–4 and David’s confessi…

A Closer Look at the Sufferings of Christ 12:20

18d ago12:20

12:20

Share a comment What if a single psalm could chart both the facts of Jesus’ suffering and the feelings he carried through it? We walk through Psalm 69 as more than David’s lament, uncovering how it points to the Messiah with surprising precision and deep compassion. From the “deep mire” image to the ache of being a stranger to his brothers, we conn…

God Leads His Dear Children Along 11:31

17d ago11:31

11:31

Share a comment Grief can feel like a closed room, but sometimes it opens into a song. We start with the tender story behind the hymn God Leads Us Along and trace its roots to Psalm 66, where the writer speaks of crushing burdens, fire, and water—and the God who leads through all of it. That lived theology takes shape in the life of evangelist Geor…

The Cover-up 28:33

19d ago28:33

28:33

Share a comment What if the only way to feel covered is to be fully uncovered? We open Romans 4 and the story of David and Bathsheba to face a hard truth with surprising hope: hiding sin always multiplies pain, while confession opens the door to joy, forgiveness, and a clear conscience. We start by naming the modern cover-up playbook—deny, downgrad…
