Before leaving His disciples, the Lord promised in John 14-16 to give them another Helper, the Holy Spirit. Guest contributor Mitchell Taylor joins us to consider how the Spirit’s helping work involves teaching through instructing and revealing. He does this work by (1) reminding us of truth, (2) guiding us into a fuller understanding of Christ, (3) revealing to the apostles things to come, and (4) glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ. The question is not whether He will teach believers, but whether we are willing to learn and allow Him to display Christ’s excellence through our lives.

Scriptures Referenced:
John 14:25-26; John 16:13-15

It’s common to start a new year brimming with motivation to read the Bible, only to have that motivation quickly evaporate as the stress and busyness of normal life return. In this episode, a very special guest (the apostle Peter!) joins Mike and Matthew to give us four motivations that will keep us paying careful attention to God’s Word all year. We need to see the Bible against (1) the darkness, (2) the dawn, (3) man-made myths, and against (4) the backdrop of personal encounter with God.

Scriptures Referenced: 2Pet 1:16-21; Psa 119:105; 1Cor 13:12; 2Cor 4:6

The imagination gets a bad rap sometimes in the church. As if it’s something to be treated with suspicion. But the truth is that the imagination is a God-given faculty that is crucial in the realms of daily life, science, and faithful Bible reading. In this episode we hear a biblical defense of using our imagination, and Mike and Matthew demonstrate how it enriches our time in God’s Word when we use it to that end. Watching The Chosen is not the only way for the Bible to come alive!

Scriptures Referenced: Exo 13:8; Col 3:2; 2Cor 4:18; Joh 1:35-42; Psa 113; Dan 1
