Episode 183 - "Onions on My Salad"

See the Big PictureHow would your life change if you could — like Elisha’s servant — see into the unseen realm? And what does Ephesians tell us about the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? This week we launch our new guided study, Talking Through Ephesians, with an introduction to this “mind-blowing” letter. Somehow, we also talk about Steve Jobs and Jesse Owens, about what it really takes to make a scratch apple pie, and the idea of being watched by loved ones in heaven. Finding Jesus in Ephesians, we discuss why Paul emphasizes the title Christ and what it means to see Jesus as the church’s husband. Then, Flying Through Ephesians, we go from the debate over the recipients, to insights from each section, to the main theme of the book. We’re super excited to get ok into this book and invite you to find a friend or group to talk through the book with as well!

Episode 182 - "Jumped Out of Their Skin"

Focus on Jesus’ PowerHow can Peter say, both “look at us” and “stop staring at us” in the same story (Acts 3)? And for that matter, how does Jesus tell us to both, “let people see your good works” and NOT to do them “to be seen” in the same sermon (Matt. 5-7)? How do we practically pivot to Jesus from ourselves? We get into a lot of challenging questions this week in a Do You Understand segment drawn from the lame man’s healing at the temple gate. It takes us from the purpose of miracles to setting our spiritual GPS to the right destination. We hope you find it encouraging and helpful!Show Notes“Stop Staring” (DAILY DOWNLOAD)Like the Teacher: Acts 3:4-6 (VERSE)Support the Show

Build Community Around JesusWhat traditions help you build connection with others? What did people mean when they said Jesus was a “friend of sinners”? It’s our second week in a row of the Bible Geeks AV Club, as we work our way into episode two of The Chosen. We kick things off with a conversation about which of these Sabbath meals we would probably find ourselves in, then we dive into a Like the Teacher discussion based on Matthew 11:19. At the heart of this episode is the statement of Mary, “I was one way, and now I am completely different.” Any disciple of Christ could surely say the same, and we explore the way the Lord touches each of these lives differently in a segment we call Deep Thoughts. You can find The Chosen on most streaming services or for free on The Chosen app (see link in the notes below).

Episode 177 - "Hey, You!"

Point Yourself Toward GodWhat’s the problem with advice that starts with, “All you have to do is just ...”? How are our struggles like epic beetle battles? And how do we find our special hiding place in God? In this week’s Jesus Said, we draw encouragement from the Lord’s words to Peter as he sank into the sea. And we set Poetry in Motion with two psalms that repeat the refrain, “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?” (Ps. 42 &amp; 43). Then in our Reach Out segment, we talk about the quicksand in our own lives, from obsessing over sickness and death to spiraling in our doubts and relationship struggles. The big theme of the episode is God’s faithfulness and strength to deliver, and it’s a message worth returning to again and again.

Bible Geeks Podcast

This week we continue our series for “young folks” with advice to our younger selves about “matters of the heart.” What kind of decisions can guide a Christian’s dating life towards a great, godly marriage? How do we protect ourselves (and our dates!) from decisions we’ll regret? What Jesus Said about plucking out your eye in Matthew 5:27-30 leads to what Job said about making a covenant with his eyes, and we can’t help but notice how uncomplicated these issues really are, if we’re honest. From establishing better guardrails to asking better questions, the only way any of it works is when we decide for ourselves where we are going to stand. Hope you benefit from the conversation and invite the young people in your life to have a listen! The Big Idea: Committing yourself to divine principles can guide your “life story” (and even your “love story”) away from regret and toward blessing. Weekly Challenge: Establish guardrails.

Episode 42 - "Hormonal Thunderstorm"

On this episode, we explore the difference between “enough” and “more, more!” This takes us from what Jesus Said about covetousness in Luke12:13-15 to what David said about a good night’s sleep in a Psalm 4 edition of Poetry in Motion. From our modern “FOMO” to Paul’s “secret,” contentment is a timeless answer to human restlessness and misplaced desire. Weekly Challenge: Identify something you have in abundance and share it with someone in need. Show Notes  Jesus Said … Luke12:13-15 Finding Contentment by Bryan Schiele (SERMON)

Episode 18 - "More Than Enough WiFi"

Keeping it light this week, we’re just trying to answer all of life’s biggest questions! What’s my purpose? Why does the universe exist? What’s God’s big, eternal plan? Fortunately, Paul has given us a window into “the heavenly places” in the book of Ephesians, so we’re “Flying Through the Book!” And what Jesus Said in John 3:2-3 kicks us off, leading into the discussion of our new identity.

Episode 17 - "Stop, Collaborate, and Listen!"

We’re heading back in the DeLorean to talk to our younger selves on this episode. What Jesus Said about service in Luke 22:24–27 leads the way in our discussion about how “young folks” can take on the role of leaders. When we start by leading ourselves through easy and tough times, then we can begin to take responsibility for leading others. We cover mentorship, organization, volunteering, and other areas the upcoming generation of disciples can make a difference. There’s no better time than today to begin to be an example for others to follow! The Big Idea: The first step of leadership is to take responsibility for leading yourself.

Episode 3 - "The First Century Person Inside My Brain"

We’re moving beyond the "life hacks" and "tips &amp; tricks" on this episode, talking about productivity from a biblical perspective. We discuss what “Jesus Said” in Luke 13:6-9 about His investment in us, how God will determine when enough is enough, the ways we can be more fruitful in small next steps, and the importance of recharging our batteries. So put down your day planner, grab a hoagie (if you’re getting hungry), and listen along! Weekly Challenge: Find time this week to recharge.

Episode 19 - "Go Get Her A Sandwich!"

Be Confident Yet Moldable Whatta ya know? This week we take on a “Heavy Word” for “knowing,” and ask: How important is the difference between what we know and what we think we know? We get an answer when a “mic-drop” moment from a healed blind man leads to a childish moment from some Jews, in part six of our “Here’s Your Sign” series. And what Jesus Said in John 21:15-17 challenges, heals, and commissions Peter to serve others. Push play and let’s dive into the Word together! The Big Idea: It’s easy to find ways to confirm our convictions, but we establish Biblical faith by following the evidence and discovering the truth. Weekly Challenge: Use an opportunity to share what you know about Christ. Show Notes  Jesus Said … John 21:15-17 “Now You Know” — G.I. Joe (VIDEO)

Episode 28 - "Knowing Is Half the Battle"

What is the value of weakness? What’s the problem with the term self-control? And why do we all occasionally find ourselves holding a tub of ice cream when we should probably have skipped dessert? This week we begin a series on the fruit of the Spirit and review all our challenges so far. We also talk about what Jesus Said to Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:7-9.

Episode 9 - "The Pull of Double Chocolate Chip"

We’re closing out our “Young folks” series with our Top 4 Proverbs on the subject along with some closing advice to our younger selves. How do you find great friends and a great spouse? Why is tending to your own heart such a big deal? And (sorry!) we had to get into every grown up’s favorite word to repeat to teenagers: “responsibility!” From some timeless words of Jesus in Matthew 26:41 (“Watch and pray”) to a silly saying by Ryan’s Grandpap (“Wherever you go, there you are”), we are grasping for all the wisdom we can find to pass onto “Little Bryan” and “Little Ryan.” So join us for one more trip on the Delorian! The Big Idea: Invest your time and energy into maintaining 1) your heart and 2) your important relationships — your life will largely take its shape from these two factors. Weekly Challenge: Spend time with a friend who sharpens you. Show Notes  Jesus Said … Matthew 26:41

Replay — "That's Bad Advertising"

When most people think of meditation, they think of someone cross-legged on a mountain saying, “Ommm.” The Bible draws us into a different kind of meditation altogether, so in a new segment called “Poetry in Motion,” we go to the first psalm to explore one of Scripture’s defining pictures of meditation. How is Bible meditation different from other forms of meditation and what are some practical strategies for getting started? Weekly Challenge: Choose a passage and meditate on it this week.

Are you ready for Jesus’ return? How can you be sure? In this episode, we’re looking at his challenging words about preparedness from Luke 17:26-35, and we’re “Flying Through the Book” of 2 Peter. The common theme: knowledge and growth. The more we know about the Lord, and the deeper our relationship with him, the greater our confidence will be. We cover the plastic food of fakers, keeping our eyeballs toward the hope of heaven, and being diligent in adding to our faith.

Episode 46 - "Into the Book"

Believe in Jesus’ Power to Raise the Dead We have big questions on our minds, as death looms over this week’s passages. Questions like: How can we put God in a box, even when we trust him in the big stuff? Does the famously brief verse, “Jesus wept,” display Christ’s humanity or his deity? And Jesus Said he holds the keys to Hades in Revelation 1:17-18, but what does that mean for us? Throughout our seventh “Here’s Your Sign” segment, we consider how the raising of Lazarus should affect our view of death. It’s heavy stuff, but we think you’ll find it worth your while to join us! The Big Idea: Believing in Christ puts death in its proper perspective: it’s complicated and sometimes heartbreaking, but for believers, it’s also a joyful step on our path to eternal life. Weekly Challenge: Read John 19-21 about Jesus’ death and resurrection. Show Notes  Jesus Said … Revelation 1:17-18 John 19-21
