What does it look like to have balance between work and family? Does God's Word address this specific dynamic? If so, how? Join Pastor Ron Dazell (of Evangelical Bible Church, Dickinson, ND) and myself as we tackle this issue and work through both Scripture and experience on this topic. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

What's the purpose of Family? Why are so many families not doing well? What does it actually look like to raise up a godly family in our culture today? These are all questions that Marshall, Tanner, and I attempt to answer in this episode of the Bearded Bible Thinker.

Join guest Corey Nielsen and me as we talk about the necessity of engaging with other Christians in the pursuit of truth while not neglecting a Christian familial engagement with the worldly culture in which we exist.  Christians have an obligation to truth. That means we are in process and will not all agree on everything. We need to have those conversations with one another, rather than presenting a false unity that sacrifices biblical truth.

In this episode, I'm interacting with the questions presented to Christians within Alistair Begg's recent controversial advice. Some in my own local church family have asked questions, as Begg is a known name among my own flock. So, hopefully, this is a helpful take on the issue.

The theme for the month of February is Christians Engaging the Culture. This episode is really an introduction to that topic. Join Marshall, Tanner, and I as we engage in conversation around Christians and our culture.

In this episode, we're walking through another article found on Planned Parenthood's website. Join me as we observe Planned Parenthood's attempt to call out the lies of political conservatives while their own nose grows in length throughout the article. https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/blog/the-abortion-rights-lie-detector-if-house-republicans-say-these-things-theyre-lying https://www.whitehouse.gov/gpc/

The title says enough.

January is Sanctity of Life Month. In this long-form episode of the BBT podcast, we're calling attention to the atrocity of abortion, to the illogical half-heartedness within much of the pro-life movement, and to remind Christians to stay in the fight. Dobbs was the beginning, but much work remains ahead of us all.  The Fatal Flaw: Full Video -- https://youtu.be/k33epqzJIlM?si=COUnnDFk2U_EB69r

Merry Christmas everyone! In this brief (for real this time) episode, I walk through an article I ran across and posted on the Facebook page recently. The article was written by Dr. Michael Kruger and is linked below. It's a good read so check it out, along with any other content of his. His work and knowledge on all things Biblical Canon are unparalleled. Enjoy being...

Christian’s nationalism is a thing…like it or not. It’s part of the national discussion and the Christian has an obligation to have a thoughtful opinion. Here's why.

In this Long-Form episode of the Bearded Bible Thinker podcast, Tanner, Marshall, and I discuss Christmas. Is it a pagan holiday? Should we celebrate it? If it has pagan roots, does that matter? What about consumerism in America? Isn't Christmas just feeding into the greed of it all? "Should I tell my kids there's NOT a Santa?" the parent said in a panic. We'll discuss it all here.

In this episode, I walk through another great paragraph of Thomas Goodwin's "A Discourse of Thankfulness." We'll talk about some critical truths if we are to be genuinely thankful to God.

In this episode, I begin walking through Thomas Goodwin's "A Discourse of Thanksgiving." We'll briefly discuss the difference between giving God glory and giving him thanks.

This episode is the continuation of my walk-through of Andy Stanley's recent "I Love My Church" talk at North Point. Hope it helps. #AndyStanley #UnconditionalConference

In this episode, I've decided to do something I said I wouldn't do. This is a review and walk-through of the first half of Andy Stanley's "I Love My Church" talk. The review of the second half is forthcoming. #AndyStanley #UnconditionalConference

In this episode, the first long-form conversation with the Bearded Bible Thinker, we'll discuss the recent (and not so recent) controversy surrounding Andy Stanley and the Unconditional Conference hosted by his North Point Church in the Atlanta area.

Hey everybody. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever...but I'm ever-changing. Lol. In this episode, I'm walking briefly through some major changes to the podcast that are coming. Hopefully, you'll find them helpful and encouraging.  Leave your feedback!

My wife and I just returned from the G3 National Conference in Atlanta. Here's what happened.

One of the often overlooked things in Bible study is whether a text is descriptive in nature or prescriptive in nature. This leads to confusion and even some false teaching if not careful. So how do we know? What's the difference? Let's tackle this today.

A lot of people believe there are books that were left out of the Christian Bible. Is that true? Is the Bible missing books that should be in it? If not, were certain books left out intentionally? Let's jump in.

In this episode, we'll tackle another question I ran across on the vast ocean that is the internet. The question: What is the role and danger of using "common sense" to evaluate truth claims? -- I know, it's a mouthful. But it's a worthy discussion. So, let's discuss.

In this episode, I'll attempt to deal with this question about God's seeming absence from our world and our lives. Is God really there? Is there evidence? Why don't I see him working? Let's jump into the deep end.

In this episode, I'll have a very special guest talk about the Herbie Rae Podcast, which will be available on Spotify each Wednesday beginning in October, with other platforms to follow. Check it out!
