“Thou Shalt Not Kill” is a very straightforward commandment - but does God follow it himself? The Old Testament has a number of accounts where it seems as though God acts harshly - and out of anger.

In this episode, Dean is joined by Pastor Jeff Walper as they discuss the mutual calling they have as pastors with that of Jeremiah. Dean and Jeff find themselves strongly resonating with many of the emotions Jeremiah seemed to struggle with—the common insecurities and doubt that seems to paralyze us.

In this episode, Dean is joined by Adam Ramdin as they delve into the curious story of Ehud. The bible specifically mentions the fact that Ehud is left handed—a detail that is not often included in bible stories. So... why? Perhaps to show us that God can use anyone, and that our perceived limitations and obstacles are often some of His most valued assets.

In this episode, Adam Patel invites you to follow David through a journey of trial and apparent defeat. For what seems like an eternity, David had been running from Saul—not in a game of hide-and-seek, but for the preservation of his very life. Now completely exhausted and worn beyond what he has ever experienced, David runs toward the people, the very enemies He had once boldly slain for the honor, glory, and vindication of God. David—like many of us—had one foot in, one foot out; but the...

In the penultimate episode of Season 1, Dean is joined by Amy Ratsara, a lawyer from Michigan that simply loves the story of Martha. Martha is often relegated to a background character — someone whose life is juxtaposed to that of Mary’s and her intimate devotion to Christ. However, Jesus didn’t see Martha as “an extra” — their friendship is expounded on through the narrative of her brother Lazarus’ death, and while Jesus shows up to call Lazarus from the grave, He also shows up to reach out...
