Have you noticed how much space the Old Testament devotes to talking about food?

Even though the dietary restrictions and kosher laws seem irrelevant for our lives today, there’s a lot we can learn from these sections of Scripture.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re looking past the dinner plate to what these words have to do with us. (Spoiler: A LOT.).

What does the Bible actually say about Israel, and what does that mean for Christians today?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we hear from Dr. Michael Rydelnik, a radio host, teacher at Moody Bible Institute, and Messianic Jew, and look at one of the most debated topics among Christians today: how should followers of Jesus understand Israel?

This conversation goes beyond headlines and political opinions to examine what Scripture says about God’s promises to Abraham, Israel’s place in God’s plan, and why some Christians believe the church has replaced Israel.

Today’s prevailing opinion tells you that as long as you’re sincere, you have a seat at God’s table.

As long as your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds, the Almighty will give you a thumb’s up. But that’s not quite right, is it?

Jesus’ words, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” may sound restrictive. But if He’s right, His words are actually the key to all of life.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll consider how Jesus’ outrageous words are actually the key to discovering true peace and joy.

How often do you keep track of other people’s mistakes?

In today’s episode of Live the Bible, I begin by sharing a story I’m not that proud of—when I used to count the mistakes of my English teacher! Yep. Aren’t we glad God doesn’t do the same to us?

If you’ve ever felt like your many sins keep you distant from God, this episode offers some great, great news.

You’ve probably noticed, but balance is never a one-and-done deal.

It takes constant focus.

If you’re like me, there is something you’d like to change about yourself or your life.

As a society, we’re obsessed with self-improvement. As Christians, we’re committed to it. Whether it’s exercise, dieting, or Bible reading, we’re convinced we can do better if only we give it the ol’ college try.

While there’s no shortage of motivation for getting started, maintaining a change or improvement is the challenge, isn’t it? We love the idea of improving, but we hate the hard work it requires. Well, we face the same dilemma in our spiritual lives too. We’re quick to make commitments to God, but our follow-through can be difficult.

So how do we give God our very best—and stick with it? That’s what we’ll discover in this episode of Live the Bible.

Here’s a tough question...

What one problem in your life, if it were solved today, would make everything better?

We tend to focus on symptoms (pain points) rather than on root causes. We want to fix the problems we feel rather than what causes those problems.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we will dig past the surface symptoms to get to a root question we’ve all yearned to answer: How do we find peace? The book of Leviticus offers us helpful wisdom as we uncover the fascinating answer that can make everything better.

When someone does us a favor, we tend to feel obligated to pay back the kindness. It’s just part of who we are.

It’s gratitude.

Yet when it comes to God’s favor on us, we face a debt we can never repay. So what can we do to express gratitude?

This episode of Live the Bible teaches us how to respond to the overwhelming favor God has lavished on us. The book of Leviticus shows us how to express our dedication and gratitude to Jesus Christ.

God is love.

But He is more than that. The same Bible also teaches that our Lord is a God of wrath. He loves sinners, but hates sin.

So how does God choose which attribute to act on—love or wrath? And how can we know if God accepts us—for sure?

To discover the answer, this episode of Live the Bible takes us to a surprising place: the Old Testament book of Leviticus. (That’s no typo.)

If you’ve ever read Leviticus, you know it reads a bit like the new has rubbed off. A bit outdated. But once we look beyond the rituals, we see a richness and a relevance of timeless truths that help us know without a doubt that God accepts us—and why He does.

When’s the last time you received a gift that you didn’t open?

Probably never!

We can’t wait to unwrap gifts that our loved ones have picked out just for us. But often, that’s exactly what we do with one of God’s greatest gifts. It’s a gift Ruth and Naomi received in real life—in the Bible.

In today’s episode of Live the Bible, we’re turning to Ruth chapter 4 to finally unwrap that special gift God has for us.

Think of the surprising turning points in your life.

I’m talking about those random conversations, chance encounters, and off-the-cuff decisions that seemed insignificant but ended up changing the course of your life. We might chalk these moments up to coincidence, but Scripture shows us otherwise.

In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we’re turning to the book of Ruth to glean the truth about how God guides our lives—and how we can know that He is.
