  • What If Jesus Really Rose? with Mike Hood

    What If Jesus Really Rose? with Mike Hood
    Mar 31 2026
    Rebecca talks with pastor and author Dr. Stephen Witmer about why poetry—especially the work of 17th-century priest George Herbert—can deepen our understanding of the gospel. Through Herbert’s poems, they explore themes of inadequacy, priesthood, and the imputed righteousness of Christ. Along the way, they discuss why Scripture itself uses poetry and why beauty, metaphor, and imagination matter for Christian faith.

  • Where Does The Bible Come From? with Dr. Peter Gurry and Dr. John Meade (Part 2)

    Where Does The Bible Come From? with Dr. Peter Gurry and Dr. John Meade (Part 2)
    Feb 24 2026
    Rebecca talks with John Meade and Peter Gurry about the New Testament canon, “lost gospels,” and why New Testament writers sometimes quote the Old Testament differently. They address common objections—Constantine, politics, the Apocrypha—and why studying Scripture’s history tends to deepen faith rather than undermine it.

    Where Does The Bible Come From? with Dr. Peter Gurry and Dr. John Meade (Part 1)
    Feb 17 2026
    Where did the Bible come from—and how do we know we can trust it? Rebecca is joined by textual scholars John Meade and Peter Gurry to explore how Scripture was written, copied, translated, and recognized as canon. From the Septuagint to the Apocrypha, they unpack the Bible’s complex history—and why that history strengthens rather than weakens Christian confidence in God’s Word.
