18. Is the Trinity Biblical? 21.07.2026 51минIn this episode of the Archway Bible Podcast, we explore the Old Testament foundations for belief in the Triune God and why they matter for how we do theology. We also discuss what Christians lose when the Trinity is treated as an untouchable mystery instead of the centerpiece of the Christian faith, before diving into contemporary dogmatics to ask how the Trinity actually works. -
17. What is the Mark of the Beast? 09.06.2026 51минIn this episode, we pick up our discussion on the beasts of Revelation 13 by taking a closer look at the mark of the beast. Instead of chasing modern conspiracy theories, we examine the biblical and historical context of the mark, what it meant to its original audience, and what its message means for believers today. -
16. Is America the Beast of Revelation? 02.06.2026 51минIn this episode, we explore the first beast of Revelation 13 and discuss why John’s vision is about more than a single future ruler. We argue that the beast symbolizes empire itself, showing how people and institutions can become tools of evil when corrupted by power, and how Satan tempts us to trust in states, armies, and earthly security rather than in Jesus Christ. We also consider how this warning applied to the Roman Empire and what it might have to say about America today. -
15. Should Christians Obey the Mosaic Law? 26.05.2026 54минIn this episode, we tackle one of the biggest tensions in the New Testament: Jesus says he fulfills the law, while Paul says Christ abolished it. We argue that Paul does not treat the Mosaic Law as binding legislation for the church, but as a source of wisdom, prophecy, and revelation that finds its fulfillment in Christ. What does obedience look like under the New Covenant, and what parts of the law still matter for Christians today? -
14. How the Day of Atonement Preaches the Gospel 31.03.2026 56минThis episode is a sweeping conversation that traces the Day of Atonement through the grand story of Scripture, connecting it back to Eden and forward to the redemptive work of Christ. The episode explores the tabernacle as a symbolic meeting point of heaven and earth while drawing out how Levitical law shapes a deeper understanding of the church’s identity and calling today. -
13. Why You Can't Understand Jesus Without Leviticus 18.03.2026 58минIn this episode, we walk through the book of Leviticus and explore the literary movement of the book, highlighting the coherence and brilliance of the law. We also discuss honor and shame culture in the ancient Near East and today, showing how it helps illuminate many of the practices and concerns in Leviticus. Finally, we consider how the book prepares the way for the atonement of Jesus and the New Testament vision of a community that fulfills the heart of the law. -
12. Tongues, Prophecy, & Women Preachers 26.02.2026 1ч 12минResuming our series on the Holy Spirit and the Charismatic church, we walk through 1 Corinthians 14, verse by verse, taking time to deal with all the major issues. What is speaking in tongues for? What is prophecy? And why can't Charismatics settle on a definition? Why do women preach at our church? And why does Paul say that they can't speak at Christian gatherings? -
11. Is Charismatic Worship Blasphemous? 03.02.2026 59минWe explore charismatic worship by tracing its biblical roots and clarifying that “charismatic” isn’t about a certain aesthetic or volume level, but about a heart posture and Gospel-centered content in our songs. From the tent of David in the Old Testament to its fulfillment in the life of the Church, we unpack what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit and how that reality shapes what and how we sing. Along the way, we thoughtfully compare charismatic worship with the Reformed regulative principle and Roman Catholic Eucharistic theology, highlighting real points of beauty and overlap while clearly explaining where and why we differ. -
10. The Holy Spirit from Genesis to Revelation 27.01.2026 59минIn this episode, we introduce the Holy Spirit by following His presence throughout the biblical narrative, from the opening chapters of Genesis to Revelation, setting the stage for a deeper upcoming series on charismatic theology. Along the way, we explore how He moves through Israel’s story, the ministry of the prophets, and the life and mission of Jesus. By the end, we argue that the sending of the Spirit is the fulfillment of God’s redemptive work, essential for the Cross to have its full meaning and for God’s renewing purpose to reshape all of creation. -
9. John: The Word Made Flesh 23.12.2025 50минIn this episode, we turn to the Gospel of John to explore the striking tension between Jesus as the eternal Logos, God’s own Word who holds all things together, and Jesus as the Lamb of God who was overlooked, misunderstood, and rejected. As we walk through John’s temple scenes and bold “I am” declarations, we see how the true meaning of Jesus’ identity is revealed in His crucifixion, where the God we have always needed does the unthinkable and suffers for our sake. -
8. Luke: The Subversive Lord 16.12.2025 52минIn this episode, we dive into the Gospel of Luke to see how its Christmas story intentionally challenges Caesar Augustus’ claims to be the son of God, savior of the world, and bringer of peace, revealing Jesus as the true Savior and Spirit Giver. By reflecting on the hymns of Mary, Zechariah, and Simeon and the prophetic strangeness surrounding Jesus’ birth, we consider how Luke’s vision was meant to strengthen small and weary Christian communities with the hope that God’s Kingdom was already in their midst. -
7. Mark: The Secret Messiah 11.12.2025 52минIn the second episode of our Christmas series, we journey through the Gospel of Mark to explore the “Secret Messiah” motif and how it shapes the unfolding story of Jesus’ identity. Together, we trace the subtle clues and bold revelations that unveil Him as the Son of God — the Divine Savior at the heart of the season. -
6. Matthew: The Return of the King 02.12.2025 50минIn this first episode of our four-part Christmas series, we explore how Matthew introduces Jesus through His genealogy, birth narrative, and the flight to Egypt. We talk through Matthew’s rich use of the Old Testament and how he presents Jesus as the promised king from David’s line who brings Abraham’s blessing to all nations. Ultimately, this episode highlights Matthew’s portrait of Jesus as the Son of God, God with us, who has come to save His people—and the whole world—from spiritual exile. -
5. The Immanence of the Transcendent God 28.10.2025 1ч 1минIn this episode, we address the tension between God’s transcendence and immanence as it unfolds throughout Scripture, using Ezekiel and Isaiah as key examples— a tension ultimately resolved and clarified in the coming of Christ. We argue that the incarnation, humility, and sacrificial death of Christ reveal God’s true nature—not as a break from divinity, but its fullest display. Across the New Testament, this high Christology shines through Christ’s lowliness, culminating at the Cross. -
4. Man's Descent to Nothingness, God's Descent to Man 21.10.2025 1ч 7минThis episode traces the story of sin—how it spreads, corrodes, and reshapes humanity from the very beginning. We explore how the incarnation and the life of Jesus enter that broken story to redeem and restore what sin has taken, offering hope where corruption once reigned. -
3. How Genesis Made Your World 14.10.2025 56минIn this episode, we dig into what makes Christian ethics different from other worldviews—starting with the belief that our worth comes from being made by God himself. That truth shapes how we see human dignity, moral absolutes, and what it really means to live well. We also talk about what happens when people try to build lives, laws, and nations as though God doesn’t exist—and as though humans aren’t made in His image. -
2. What You Never Noticed About the Garden of Eden (Part 2) 07.10.2025 59минReturning to Genesis again, we explore the biblical theme of Eden as humanity’s original mission—to extend the boundaries of God’s garden-temple into the whole world. We trace how that calling was fractured through the fall, yet continually echoed throughout Scripture as God’s plan for restoration unfolds. Ultimately, we consider how this purpose is reclaimed through the church—practically lived out in local communities on mission and in the ordinary, faithful obedience of everyday life. -
1. What You Never Noticed About the Garden of Eden (Part 1) 30.09.2025 1ч 4минThe Archway Bible Podcast begins where the Bible begins — with Genesis. Episode one takes us into the Garden of Eden, a place that’s more like a temple than we often realize. We talk about rivers, worship, the image of God, and why the tripartite structure of creation has so much to teach us about the presence of God. Starting here helps us see how the big story of Scripture holds together, and why it still matters for us today.
