It's been a season of silence on the podcast — but not an empty one. In this episode, I explain why episodes have been paused (a full, rich season of ministry and a studio that became a guest room) and talk about a growing sense that it is time to change direction rather than just pick back up where I left off. I don't have the new vision fully formed yet — and I'm not pretending I do. What I do…
Ruth is one of my favorite Old Testament books in the Bible. Though small and unassuming, it not only parallels our own Christian journey from darkness and sin to light and salvation, but it also has incredible depth that helps our spiritual growth as believers. While many think of the book of Ruth as merely a love story (between Ruth and Boaz), the book actually is an incredible foreshadowing of…
Are you feeling stuck in your spiritual life? Is there a secret sin you just can’t seem to gain victory over? There is great hope. In this episode, Nathan talks about two of the most powerful words in the New Testament and how “But God…” radically changes our lives, is the solution to a besetting sin, and is the key which unlocks freedom, life, victory, and greater spiritual growth in our lives.…
Many Christians read the Bible slowly, one chapter or a few verses at a time—but there are tremendous benefits to reading Scripture through quickly. In this video, Nathan Johnson explains three important reasons every believer should consider reading through the Bible in 60, 90, or 120 days. Reading the Bible at a faster pace can help you see the grand storyline of Scripture, understand how the…
Many Christians say Jesus is the center of their lives, but what if He's not actually at the center of the center? In this episode, we examine what it truly means for Christ to be all and have first place in everything according to Colossians 1:18 and Colossians 3:4-11, and why so many believers unknowingly substitute legalism, religious duty, or fear for genuine Christ-centered living. Drawing…
What can the book of Jonah teach us about God’s mercy, our resistance to obedience, and the transforming power of repentance? In this episode, Nathan Johnson shares three key lessons and fresh insights drawn from his in-depth study of Jonah. Discover how this little (and funny) Old Testament book reveals the humor of God, the stunning depth of God’s mercy toward both rebels and the religious, and…
In this concise, Christ-centered overview of the Gospel of Mark, we trace the “beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (Mark 1:1) and see why Mark presents Jesus as the triumphant Suffering Servant—One who did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life “a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). You’ll get the big-picture purpose, audience, and driving themes of Mark’s…
You are blessed! What a phenomenal promise in Scripture. But the blessing is probably not in what you are thinking. In Ephesians 1:3–14, the Apostle Paul declares a staggering truth: every spiritual blessing we receive from God is found and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In this Christ-centered Bible teaching, we explore what it truly means to be “blessed” and how our blessing is not in something but…
In this Bible teaching, we explore the often-overlooked story of Zechariah in Luke 1 and discover how his faithfulness, misunderstanding, and expectancy prepare the way for the Advent of Jesus Christ. Far more than background characters in the Christmas story, Zechariah and Elizabeth stand at the threshold of redemptive history, where God breaks centuries of silence and announces the coming of the…
