In the first episode of our series, Uniquely Wired: Who God Made You to Be, we ask and answer one of the most foundational questions humans face: "Who are you?"

Author Alan Noble joins the show to discuss the fundamental assumption of modern life that many of us are shaped by: "You are your own, and you belong to yourself." The Christian gospel, however, provides a better vision that reframes the way we understand ourselves, our families, and God.

Urgency and Rest — Joshua E4

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Tanner Britt, Glen Brann) — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Settling into the Promised Land, the people of Israel are faced with two realities: they can finally rest, and they still have work to do. Likewise, modern-day Christians have to deal with what it means to live in the "already/not yet." We can rest in Christ's finished work, but we must also be obedient in doing the good work he has laid out before us.

Obedience in the Battle — Joshua E3

As the people of Israel begin to take the Promised Land, their ability to have a strong and courageous obedience to God is tested. In this, we see how seriously God pursues his purposes and how he allows us as humans to be a part of his plans. And, we cover the toughest topic of the book—what do we do with all of the bloodshed?

The God of the Garden with Andrew Peterson

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Tanner Britt, Glen Brann, Andrew Peterson) — Mon, 7 Mar 2022 15:58:50 +0000

This week, we're joined by Andrew Peterson to discuss The God of the Garden and how we can experience the glory of God through his creation.

The garden metaphor runs deep in the Bible. God's first command for Adam and Eve was to "work and keep" the garden, and God himself has always been present, working and keeping what he loves. Sometimes pruning and sometimes planting, but always in a way that produces good fruit.

Entering the Promised Land — Joshua E2

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Tanner Britt, Glen Brann) — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 15:25:47 +0000

After 40 years in the wilderness, the people of Israel finally enter the Promised Land. But, they have to cross the Jordan River to do so, all the while preparing to face the looming resistance of the Canaanite inhabitants.

In these first five chapters of Joshua, the people of God must look back to remember what God has done in order to faithfully face what is yet come.

Getting Back to the Garden — Joshua E1

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Tanner Britt, Glen Brann) — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 13:00:00 +0000

As we begin our series through the book of Joshua, we look to the people of Israel as they prepare to enter the Promised Land and how this story parallels with our own of trying to get back to the Garden of Eden. We also examine how God's specific charge to Joshua to "be strong and very courageous" gives us a model for how to live in our already/not yet reality of being justified in Christ but still awaiting his return.

Practical Help for Building Spiritual Disciplines

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Tanner Britt, Glen Brann) — Mon, 14 Feb 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Too often when it comes to building spiritual disciplines our go-to methods include relying on sheer willpower and trying to shame ourselves into submission. And, again and again, the whole experiment ends in failure, leaving us feeling even worse about our spiritual life than when we started.

There's still hope. What if it's not us but our misguided methods that are actually the problem? What would it look like to build spiritual disciplines that are rooted in the grace and love of Christ? This week, we explore exactly that.

Fellowship is a word and practice worth reclaiming. Our modern understanding of what fellowship looks like does little to measure up to the more robust meaning found in the Bible. This week, we talk about what fellowship really is, and why it is such a powerful means of grace to believers.

Cultivating Prayer and Friendship with God

This week we discuss how the person and work of Jesus opens up the possibility of friendship with God, and how that friendship fuels prayer. By pairing this with the spiritual discipline of Bible reading, we have access to real two-way communication with the God of the universe and the restorer of all things.

What Are the "Means of Grace" in the Christian Life?

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Tanner Britt, Glen Brann) — Mon, 3 Jan 2022 16:32:30 +0000

If the means of grace are one of the primary channels through which God's love and power flow (and they are), then it is crucial that we not misunderstand or neglect them. In this episode, we'll tackle a number of questions help us think rightly about these means before putting them in to practice, such as:

What are the "means of grace"?
How do they work?
To what end do we practice these means?

Much of Scripture's story is dedicated to illustrating the fact that humankind is utterly helpless to fix the problems it has created. We need force outside of and greater than ourselves to be our agent of redemption. Enter Jesus.

He is the cornerstone on which the Bible's whole story hinges. Through Christ, God is reconciling all things to himself.

The Tenth Commandment and Unhelpful Expectations

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Glen Brann, Tanner Britt) — Mon, 6 Sep 2021 19:19:51 +0000

While the other commandments address sins that can be seen by others, the tenth commandment tackles covetousness, which hides in the heart. It's in our hearts that unhelpful expectations breed ungodly desires, leading in turn to sin and death. But God sees the heart, and Jesus changes it, giving us a path to righteousness and life.

The ninth commandment calls us to love our neighbors by addressing one of our smallest but most dangerous members—our tongue. When our speech runs wild, small sparks can create massive fires. But, by controlling our tongue, we can honor our neighbor's good name and breathe life into the world around us.

The eighth commandment reveals our unbelief and distrust of God. When we perceive that God has made an error in the way he has divvied up his gifts, we sinfully take matter into our own hands to rectify the matter. But Jesus sets a different example, giving up what he rightfully deserved to be generous and loving to his neighbors.

The Seventh Commandment and Honoring Marriage

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Tanner Britt, Glen Brann) — Tue, 27 Jul 2021 20:47:25 +0000

Whereas the sixth commandment prohibiting murder is one that seems easily kept, the seventh may give us a bit more pause. Even if we haven't been outright adulterous in our relationship, many of us feel great shame because of our failures to remain pure.

Jesus doesn't hold back as he cuts straight to the heart of this commandment, exposing the root of lust that leads to a number of sins. But, he is gracious in his invitation out of shame and through his sacrifice as the spotless lamb who washes us clean.

The Sixth Commandment and Destructive Anger

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Glen Brann, Tanner Britt) — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 18:13:22 +0000

It's easy when looking at the Ten Commandments to arrive at the sixth word and think, "Whew. Finally one I've obeyed perfectly." Unfortunately for our egos, Jesus says, "Not so fast." When we cut to the heart of this commandment prohibiting murder, we find that perhaps we harbor more anger against others than we care to admit.

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Tanner Britt, Glen Brann) — Wed, 28 Apr 2021 19:12:26 +0000

At first blush, the second commandment may seem like a rewording of the first, but—as you might have guessed—there's more to it than that. Better understood, the commandment to "make no carved images" reveals how our invisible God desires to be represented.

hello@bibleandstuff.com (Glen Brann, Tanner Britt) — Mon, 8 Mar 2021 20:59:54 +0000

So, what does it look like for Paul to urge his encourage his friend to pursue Christlikeness? Let's find out.
