    Repent: 2,000 Years of Disagreement
    Feb 19 2026
    What does it actually mean to repent? After two thousand years of Christian history, disagreement over this single word remains as sharp as ever. And yet, many Christians today speak with absolute confidence, insisting the meaning is obvious, settled, and beyond debate.

  • Exodus 24:8 Throwing Blood

    Exodus 24:8 Throwing Blood
    Feb 16 2026
