    Welcome to God's Whole Story, where we explore scripture book by book to see how God’s grand narrative unfolds and accomplishes His purposes. We're delighted to have you on this journey with us. If you enjoy our content, we’d love to partner with you. Check out the show notes for ways to connect and support us. Today, we dive into the book of Exodus, a pivotal and exciting part of the Bible that has influenced countless cultural narratives, including popular movies.

    Here's the first episode on Exodus from our last season: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1565267/12157524

    Exodus is not just an engaging story but a foundational one for understanding the rest of the Bible. The narrative includes a villain, plagues, miracles like the parting of the Red Sea, and a rebellious people. While it can be easy to break this book down into isolated Sunday school lessons, its overarching theme is about God making Himself known to His people. Moses, guided by the Holy Spirit, writes Exodus to show how God continuously reveals Himself, emphasizing His role as the main character in the narrative.

    The significance of Exodus extends beyond its immediate storyline. It serves as a crucial reference point throughout the Bible, frequently reminding the Israelites of God’s deliverance from Egypt. This liberation is a foreshadowing of the ultimate salvation believers receive through Jesus Christ. The apostles, particularly in the book of Acts, often reference Exodus to draw parallels between God’s deliverance of Israel and the salvation offered through Jesus, underscoring its enduring relevance and foundational importance for all believers.

    A noteworthy aspect of Exodus is the prominent role women play in God’s redemption plan. From the courageous midwives who defied Pharaoh’s orders to Moses' sister Miriam and Pharaoh’s daughter who saved Moses, these women’s actions were crucial in advancing God’s purposes. This involvement highlights how the Bible values women, contrary to the cultural norms of the time, and showcases God’s inclusive and redemptive work through all His people.

    The story of Exodus also brings to light God’s sovereignty and the complexities of His interactions with humanity, particularly in the instance of Pharaoh’s hardened heart. This aspect can be challenging to understand, but it reflects God's absolute authority and the serious consequences of persistent reb

  • Genesis 34-50 | Brokenness, Redemption, and Legacy: Exploring the Story of Joseph
    Jun 24 2024

    What is the deeper meaning of the story of Joseph in the Bible?
    How does the story of Joseph foreshadow Jesus Christ?

    Please consider becoming one of our monthly partners HERE.

    Today, we explore the rich tapestry of the final chapters of Genesis. Many might be familiar with Joseph's narrative as a straightforward moral lesson – a cautionary tale about the dangers of arrogance. But this podcast dives deeper, arguing that there's a profound significance hidden beneath the surface.

    The conversation delves into the idea that Joseph's story foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ. The hosts unpack how Joseph embodies a redemptive figure, ultimately acting as a savior for God's chosen people. This perspective sheds new light on Joseph's experiences, transforming them from a series of unfortunate events into a powerful allegory for God's grand plan.

    The podcast goes beyond simply comparing Joseph to Christ. It delves into the complexities of human nature. The story of Joseph, they argue, is a stark reminder of our inherent brokenness. We see Joseph's brothers consumed by jealousy and hatred, leading them to betray their own kin. Yet, amidst this darkness, the podcast highlights God's remarkable ability to work through human flaws. Even through the betrayals and misfortunes Joseph endures, God's ultimate plan unfolds.

    Throughout Genesis, God makes covenants with his chosen people, and the story of Joseph serves as a powerful testament to God's commitment to fulfilling those promises, even when the path seems unclear.

    This episode of God's Whole Story isn't just about passively consuming information. The hosts actively engage the listeners, encouraging them to delve deeper into the story's themes. They prompt listeners to consider how the narrative of Joseph and his brothers might resonate with their own lives. By reflecting on the characters' choices and the consequences they face, listeners are invited to find meaning and application within the rich tapestry of scripture.

    Please consider partnering with us financially, HERE.

    Welcome to God's Whole Story, your journey through scripture, revealing how God's story fulfills His purposes. We appreciate your support and encourage you to check the show notes for partnership opportunities. Enjoy this episode as we continue our Genesis overview with Chris, Chelsea, and Ryan. Previously, we covered Creation and Fall; today, we'll explore Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

    We focus on key Genesis figures. Abraham and Isaac are central, with a brief look at Jacob. We discuss Abraham's call by God, establishing a covenant impacting us today.

    Abraham's journey is marked by faith despite moments of doubt, such as with Ishmael. His willingness to sacrifice Isaac shows profound faith. Isaac ensures the continuity of God's promise to Jacob and Esau. Their rivalry shows deep family conflicts but also reconciliation.

    Jacob and Esau’s story explores themes of deception and redemption. Despite Jacob's trickery, God's promise endures. Their reunion in Genesis 33 emphasizes forgiveness, urging reflection on our relationships.

    God's faithfulness throughout these narratives underscores His enduring promises, reassuring us of His unwavering commitment and encouraging us to live out our faith with trust and obedience.

  • We're Back- What We've Been Up To and What's the New Plan?
    Jun 3 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Welcome back to God's Whole Story! Hosts Chelsea, Ryan, and Chris reunite after a two-year hiatus, filled with personal updates and new beginnings. Chelsea recalls her pregnancy during their last Revelation episode and the amusing questions from listeners about her absence. Ryan shares his transition from church work to curriculum director at Men of Iron, and Chris discusses his shift to freelance Bible teaching while his wife stepped into a pastoral role. Chelsea also celebrated completing her master's in theological studies. Together, they reflect on how much has changed since their last recording.

    Reflecting on their journey, the team acknowledges that while they released content sporadically in 2022, they are eager to produce fresh episodes with a renewed focus. They plan to create comprehensive Bible book overviews and dive into doctrinal discussions to help listeners understand the big picture of scripture and its teachings. This approach aims to make the Bible more accessible and provide a solid foundation for understanding faith.

    Looking ahead, they envision a three-phase plan: starting with Bible book overviews, moving into doctrinal topics, and finally focusing on practical discipleship. These conversations will explore essential questions like "Who is God?" and "Why does Jesus matter?" and provide guidance on living out one's faith in everyday life. The team hopes to cover practical aspects like prayer, fasting, and giving, making their discussions relevant and actionable.

    To sustain and grow the podcast, the team invites listeners to support them financially. As they are no longer funded by their church roles, contributions will help cover production costs and enable them to offer additional content. They express gratitude for the listeners' past support and excitement for the journey ahead. The show notes will include a link for supporters to contribute.

    In the next episode, the team will delve into Genesis, discussing its significance in God's whole story and its importance for personal faith journeys. They invite listeners to join the conversation on social media and stay connected as they explore the Bible together. The team is enthusiastic about continuing this journey with their audience and providing valuable insights into scripture.
