    Biblical Character Detour: The Older Son

    In part 3 of our Prodigal study, we talk about the older son. He's often the least talked about character from this story, but he's just as important as the younger son. His attitude and heart towards forgiveness, his inheritance, and his younger brother can often resemble us as longtime Christians. Let's dissect this important character!

  • Biblical Character Detour: The Prodigal's Father

    Biblical Character Detour: The Prodigal's Father

  • Biblical Character Detour: The Prodigal Son

    Biblical Character Detour: The Prodigal Son

    Join us for the first of 3 studies on the parable of the prodigal son. In this first episode, we'll be focusing on the journey and detour the younger son takes. Most of us can relate to this story and the entitlement, attitude, and humbling that happens to the younger son, so let's dive in and see how this character and his detour relates to us.

  • Biblical Character Detour: Samson

    Biblical Character Detour: Samson

    In this episode, we talk about the detour that sin caused in Samson's life. Samson could defeat armies of 1,000 Philistines single-handedly, but he couldn't defeat Delilah. Why? Sin was the rudder in his life and it took him to places he never should've been. Let's unpack this well known story and look at all the detours Samson took.

  • Biblical Character Detour: Jonah & Nineveh

    Biblical Character Detour: Jonah & Nineveh

    In this episode, we look at the infamous story of Jonah and his refusal to go to Nineveh. The book is often rejected by skeptics as a factual story from history, so we talk about the history, archeological evidence, and of course the story itself to unpack all the detours Jonah took along the way.
