  • Answering the Objections Pt 1

    Answering the Objections Pt 1
    Jan 30 2026
    As we work carefully through every major passage about judgment after death, a lengthy YouTube comment challenged the series, claiming key verses were being ignored and offering several proof texts to support annihilationism. Rather than rush past those claims, we slow down and take them seriously. In this first installment of Answering the Objections, we examine John 11:26 in context—reading the passage carefully, looking at the Greek, comparing translations, and asking a simple question: is this verse actually about hell or final punishment at all?

    Waiting on God or Killing the Text?
    Jan 24 2026
    In a previous episode we carefully studied Psalm 62:1 in its context. In this episode, we go back and review the short sermon that originally sparked that study and ask a simple question: does this message actually explain the text, or does it turn the text into something else?

  • Psalm 62:1: Waiting on God

    Psalm 62:1: Waiting on God
    Jan 24 2026
    Psalm 62:1 is often used as a generic call to patience and trust—but is that what the verse is actually saying? In this episode, we slow down and read Psalm 62:1 in its literary, historical, and covenant context and discover that this is not about waiting for God to fix our personal circumstances, but about David and Israel waiting on God to fulfill His promises.
