UPDATE: In & Out of Season has now changed names! We are now Established in The Truth! Any comments or questions can be directed to establishedinthetruthpodcast.wordpress.com, thank you!

Should Christians study the Bible alone or together? Is studying the Bible alone healthy? What should be our perspective on seeking help to understand passages in the Bible? These and other questions are explored as we seek to understand the role of Christian community and Bible Study. While we won't take an exhaustive take on this topic, let's dive into what the Body of Christ offers as the members come together to grow in knowing God's Word better.

Topics Include:

- The necessity of community in Bible study
- The dangers of studying alone primarily
- The blessings of learning from others
- 3 Why's of studying together
- Prayerfully discerning insight from others

Disclaimer: I recognize and believe the omnipotence of God in using any believer of any maturity to encourage in the Word. The goal of "Street cred" is to treat Bible study input from new believers as less weighty on doctrinal matters and strive to learn from those who are seasoned in the faith and know Christ and His Word and who are trustworthy sources for insight. New believers indeed have a capacity to be amazed by Scriptural truths that seasoned believers will be encouraged by and should be spurred on in faith from.

In this special Christmas episode, we look into some big "why's" of Christmas. This isn't your "Jesus is the greatest gift of all podcast", we will go much deeper than that, looking into God's actual purposes for sending Jesus, and what it He accomplished by doing so. Here are the 4 main points we will look into.

1. Jesus' Fulfillment of Prophecy
2. God's Revelation (Revealing) of Himself
3. God With Us (why is this important?)
4. The Hope of Future Glory

This one is a little longer than usual, so feel free to skip around if you'd like. Really the central thrust of this episode is Jesus' fulfillment of God's promises in the Old Testament should compel us to worship Him and love others as we celebrate Christmas. The grace of God in Christ be with you!

This not because the Spirit is confused, but because we are! This episode aims to look into just that, what is He doing and how can we better understand it?? Also, there's a surprise topic if you listen to the end! Hint: It has something to do with the Spirit :D

Christianity has been defended for centuries, only now has there been such exposure to through social media and increasing hostility with a culture that rejects the Bible and the God Who wrote it. What does it mean to defend my faith? What about those hostile arguments I hear on social media? Let's unpack what apologetics is and why every Christian is called to be an apologist.


Define apologetics:

Believers are to be ready constantly

Honoring Christ as Lord

Being prepared

Two truths to hang on to and then three things we can do now
