Bible Study Podcast

We're kicking off a 6-week series on spiritual warfare — and we could not be more excited (or more in need of it). This week, Pastor Darren and Angela are joined by Bible teacher Elijah Lamb to lay the biblical foundation for understanding the world we actually live in. Spoiler: it's not neutral territory.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Why the church is often less interested in the supernatural than the rest of the world — and why that's a problem
• What Genesis 1 reveals about the world before the fall (hint: creation wasn't finished — it was a war zone)
• Why Satan's primary weapon isn't power — it's deception, and how he distorts your view of God from the very beginning
• The lies you might be living under right now without even realizing it — and how to start identifying them
• Is it spiritual warfare or is it me? How to discern the difference (and why it might be both)
• The cross vs. the thorn: how to know whether God wants to free you from something or walk with you through it
• Why every act of obedience, love, and forgiveness is an act of war against the enemy

• Why discipleship is formed in community, not isolation
• The example of Jesus’ life shared with others
• Acts 2 and the practices of the early church
• Consumer Christianity vs committed discipleship
• How accountability and spiritual authority shape growth

How do we actually learn to pray?

In this episode, we explore Jesus’ model of prayer, the Lord’s Prayer, and what it means to approach God as Father. We discuss slowing down in a distracted world, walking through suffering, and letting prayer reshape how we see God and live as disciples.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Jesus’ teaching on prayer
• God as Father and intimacy with Him
• Creating space for daily prayer
• Suffering and unanswered prayer
• Living out God’s kingdom

How do we approach Scripture in a way that truly shapes our lives?
In this episode, we explore how to read the Bible as disciples of Jesus — not just for information, but for transformation. Walking through Matthew 4 and Romans 12, we examine how Jesus used Scripture in temptation, how God renews our minds through His Word, and what it means to let the Bible form us against the pressures of culture.
In this episode, we talk about:
• How to approach Scripture as a disciple, not just a reader
• Why culture forms us — and how God’s Word counter-forms us
• Romans 12 and renewing the mind
• How Jesus models Scripture in Matthew 4
• Reading, meditating, memorizing, and praying the Bible
• Letting God’s Word shape character and habits
• Growing in spiritual understanding through Scripture
• Simple tools for studying the Bible well
• How Jesus helped His disciples understand Scripture

Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we unpack why the Mary & Martha story is not a message to stop doing life — it’s an invitation to reorder your attention and learn to follow Jesus in the ordinary. We walk through Luke 10 in full context (the 72, the Good Samaritan, then Mary & Martha), and connect it to Mark 4 and the “worries of this life” that choke the Word.

In this episode, we talk about:
Why Luke 10 is a discipleship chapter (not a single isolated moment)
The difference between doing life for Jesus vs. with Jesus
What “distraction” really means in the Mary & Martha passage
Why attention shapes desire, and desire shapes behavior
Practical discipleship: habits, community, and training over time
How God forms us in everyday moments (work, family, emotions)
Phone addiction + micro-habits that create macro impact
