  Daniel 1:17 -- What's it like to be supernaturally and spiritually gifted by God? 06.10.2026 45min

  In today's episode, we talk about how Daniel and his three friends were endowed by God with spiritual and supernatural gifts! The Bible doesn't use this word in the text, but the concept of endowment is there. Endowed can mean that something was freely given to us as a trust. It can also be likened unto stewardship, a concept in the New Testament. It's interesting how endowed comes from the same root word as dowry. In ancient times, families would help save some...

  Train up a child in the way they should go: What made Daniel's childhood so special? 29.09.2026 45min

  Today we talk a little bit more about the food we consume, and the positive changes that are happening in that area. Then, we shift into talking about the issues of children in our society. Why does the Bible (KJV) continue to refer to Daniel and his three friends as "children" in Daniel chapter 1? Is there a significance to the word being used? And what does it mean for the end times? What role do we have as parents, mentors, and spiritual mothers and fathers?...

  Is your Daily Bread Coming from The Father or King Nebuchadnezzar? (Part 4) 21.09.2026 45min

  In this episode, I talk about the joy that comes from living life God's way and eating from God's table. Today we'll cover Daniel 1: 8-16. When the world watches us make sacrifices and live for God, what will they see? Will they see us looking fairer than the sons and daughters of the world or will we be worse looking? Will we be filled with joy or with a sense of missing out on life as the world sees it? It depends on the mindset by which we surrender and what we kn...

  Is your Daily Bread Coming from The Father or King Nebuchadnezzar? (Part 3) 14.09.2026 47min

  (Just know that today's episode is longer than usual.) Today I talk about the figurative (or spiritual) food and wine we may consume daily from the King of Babylon's table. I felt led to focus my attention on media: TV shows, movies, music, and social media. What do we ingest when we consume King Nebuchadnezzar's delicacies? It's not just entertainment or news, but it's a way of viewing the world that so often contradicts God's word. It's not what we profe...

  The Fallout from Gloria Steinem's Legacy: How Feminism has Damaged Women 07.09.2026 36min

  On today's episode, I discuss the legacy of Gloria Steinem, a once prominent voice and leader in the feminist movement. Since she died recently, the world will reflect upon all that she's done for the cause of women and celebrate her. God's view of her life, however, is very different than the world's honor and recognition of her. Did she really help to make progress for women, or did she bring further harm to women in general? Here's the article link I mentioned in the epi...

  Is your Daily Bread Coming from The Father or King Nebuchadnezzar? (Part 2) 31.08.2026 35min

  Hi Everyone, In today's episode we talk about the food and wine of God's kingdom versus the kingdom of Babylon. In past episodes, I mentioned how God uses Bible passages to speak figuratively (symbolically, metaphorically) as well as literally about an event, theme, or topic, since Jesus always spoke in parables to the people, and He is the word of God. How did God symbolize food and wine? How is this different from the symbolic food and wine of Babylon? Today we focu...

  Bonus Episode: Thoughts on Hollywood then and now, was Dolly Parton saved, embracing the whole counsel of God, Water Filtration, and Healthy Cookware! 31.08.2026 28min

  Originally, this was going to be the introduction to my next episode, but then it grew to be longer than expected, so I made it its own separate episode. I think I'll do that more in the future: have bonus episodes where I talk about current events from a Biblical perspective and otherwise. One of the major issues discussed in this episode is the question over Dolly Parton's salvation. Can you think like the world and be saved? How can a person profess Christia...

  Is your Daily Bread Coming from The Father or King Nebuchadnezzar? (Part 1) 24.08.2026 39min

  In today's episode, we continue our study in Daniel chapter 1 by diving into verse 5. Verse 5 centers around the food and wine provided at the king's table. Being surrounded by the Babylonian culture, what does it mean to eat the food of the king? How does that relate to how we live in today's society and, more specifically, what we eat for dinner? When we ask God the Father, "Give us today our daily bread," we're not only speaking literally but figuratively. God also sees o...

  The Literature and Language of Babylon: What does Babylon want to teach us? 13.08.2026 35min

  In this episode, we continue to take a deep dive into Daniel 1:4. After all, what is the teaching and language of Babylon? We explore this question and many more. Like Daniel and his three friends, despite Babylon's pervasive efforts at indoctrination, will we, too, be able to resist being conformed to the image and thinking of this world. And, if so, how do we resist?

  How the World Looks upon the Outward Appearance 11.08.2026 36min

  In today's episode, we look at how Babylon (or this present world system) evaluates people. We see how Babylon recruits early, along with the type of person they recruit to their ranks. God, however, has a different way of looking at people: He looks upon the heart. There's a word of encouragement here! Even though we aren't "seen" by the world, we can still be seen and valued by God! Sometimes ... God even creates His people in such a way so that they ge...

  How do you Evangelize in the restrictive culture of Babylon? 06.08.2026 39min

  In today's episode, we explore how the "culture of Babylon" tries to keep us from reproducing ourselves as Christians. Implicit in the text was how Daniel and his three friends were made into eunuchs. (I'm pretty sure you've never heard about that in Sunday school class.) What does that mean figuratively and spiritually for us as believers? How can we influence others for Christ in such restrictive, punitive environments? [I also share briefly about the Blue Letter Bi...

  The Context of Daniel 1: God Warns before He Judges 04.08.2026 31min

  In today's episode, we explore the ways of God. Moses shared how if you want to know God, don't just look at his actions but seek to understand his ways. The Bible tells us that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We explore how when it comes to sin and rebellion, God is longsuffering, and he gives ample warnings before he judges. Since he demonstrated patience for his own people, the Israelites, we can be assured that he'll do it for the world of today.&n...

  The Return of Theophilus: I'm back with a new vision and focus for the podcast! 01.08.2026 19min

  Hi Everyone, In this episode, Theophilus returns back to the podcasting world! It's been a long time since I last shared with all of you. In this episode, I explain some of what I've been doing, the lessons I've learned, and a new format for the podcast. It'll still be The Bible Mind Podcast, though, where we view everything from a Biblical mindset! My goal is to create shorter, more focused episodes that center around one or possibly two central themes. ...

  My Final Episode for A While! 03.09.2022 30min

  Starting from today, I'm taking a hiatus from creating new podcast episodes. I don't know how long this break will last, or even if I'll come back and create new episodes. It's really up to God. In this episode, I share my reasons for doing what I'm doing. I think this is a good time, because the seasons are changing, and God's working out so many things in my heart, including new priorities. One major priority is to have the space and time to write a book.&nbs...

  Do We, Sometimes, Come Across as "Too Christian" to Build Rapport and Relationship with the Unbelievers in Our Lives? 27.08.2022 39min

  (I'm back! We're returning to this podcast episode, after taking a break last week.) Today, we are taking a break from our Revelation study. I talk about an issue that will touch the lives of most believers. It's an issue God has been working on in my heart and life. I work in the marketplace, and with people who don't know God. How do I relate to them? How "Christian" can I be and still build a relational bridge with these people? Or ...

  Revelation 25: How to Walk Humbly with our God, while Shining God's Glory! (1:16) 13.08.2022 35min

  **IMPORTANT NOTE: Next week I'm not going to put out a podcast episode, since I'll be taking the weekend off for a special reason. I'll resume the following week. May you be blessed until then! __________________________________________ Today, I'll go deeper into what it means for Jesus to be the sun (the greater light), and for us to be the moon (the lesser light), that reflects the sun's light. Throughout history, even though people have bowed down to idols...

  Revelation 24: Jesus, You Shine Brighter than the Sun! (1:16) 06.08.2022 42min

  Today we talk about what it means for Jesus to have a countenance that shines like the sun in its strength. Believe it or not, God has already laid out "stepping stones" of revelation of what this means in the Old Testament. We will explore some of these verses/passages in order to flesh out this multi-level revelation, and how it relates to our lives! In this episode, we continue to see how the Holy Spirit, Who wrote the Scriptures through human vessels, can connect dots f...

  Revelation 23: Jesus' Sharp Two-Edged Sword: How the Word of God Speaks and Cuts Two Ways! (1:15-16) 30.07.2022 44min

  Today we'll talk about what it means for Jesus to have a two-edged sword come out of his mouth. What are the implications for us and our study of God's word? Jesus is the word of God made flesh, and the Bible describes the word of God as sharper than any double-edged sword. In other words, those two edges can cut into us, and others as we wield it as believers. Therefore, it'd benefit us to understand more about what it means for Jesus to be described this way.&nbs...

  Revelation 22: How the Glorified Christ "in the midst" of our Churches is More Powerful than any Caesar! (1:13-15) 23.07.2022 46min

  Today we'll talk about the phrase "the son of man" and what it means to have the glorified, resurrected Jesus "in the midst" of our churches. What are the implications? How can this bring encouragement both to us as individuals and to our churches as a whole? We'll also talk about a possible reason why Jesus gave John the glorious revelation of His divine Personhood. We consider the historical and spiritual contexts of John's day, and how that parallels the issues we fac...
• 
  Revelation 21: How Can Your Church be a Burning Lampstand? (1:11-12) 16.07.2022 41min

  Today I talk about what it means to see into situations and people prophetically, the way God would. Jesus asks John to write down what he sees in a book and, then, send it to the seven churches. We explore what that word "see" means in our study verse. To prophetically see is a multilevel process. We look at examples in the Bible to illustrate this point. We also talk about the general context surrounding the the seven churches. What were some of Je...
