Romans 8:28 is one of the most common verses you'll find on a coffee mug or living room wall. Christians and unbelievers are familiar with God's promise to work things out for good. But what does "good" mean? Join me as I look at how we tend to misunderstand this verse and then dig into the beautiful promise God gives us.

Join me as we begin studying 1 Peter. This will walk you through how I study, showing you the questions I ask and the answers I arrive at. I hope this study makes you delight in God's word and encourages you to dig deeper in your own Bible study time!
In these early verses, we get familiar with the setting, writer, and audience before spending a lot of time focusing on a term that is central to everything Peter is about to say - what it means to their identity, obedience, and life as God's "chosen."

Does God want you to study theology? Yes! When we properly understand what theology is in the life of Christ's followers, we see that God calls His people to theology over and over again. This episode looks at God's consistency from Genesis to Revelation as He repeatedly tells His people the same thing: We must grow in truth so we can live in truth.

Your Bible calls you a "servant of Jesus Christ." We all have idea about what that means, but what does God mean when He says that? How was this word understood 2,000 years ago, and how does that impact how we live today? Join me as we look at a word we may easily overlook and understand why a proper understanding of the word will radically transform our lives.
