How Israel Became a Light To The Nations 6:32

20h ago6:32

6:32

I've often wondered about this: “It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.” Israel was chosen to be a light to the Gentiles. This is perhaps a good place …

Rest in Christ - The Sabbath is NOT a day of the week 17:40

23h ago17:40

17:40

As we continue in our Red-Letter Bible Study, we could be shadowing the Pharisees... they seem to know where Jesus is at every moment! We encounter Jesus and a band of his disciples moving to whatever their next destination is through a corn field and eating some of the grans of corn along the way. The pharisees confront them and accuse them of bre…

Two Parables and Hardened Hearts 21:14

1d ago21:14

21:14

Today's podcast is a little different. The conversation with our A.I. bot went off in a couple of different directions (my fault : ). We started with the very innocent parables of New Wine in Old Wine Skin and patching clothes with new unshrunk cloth. These parables point to the hardened hearts of the Jews and before you think this was only a probl…

The Courtship Has Begun 34:39

3d ago34:39

34:39

Imagine you're out on a date, having dinner, laughing, completely immersed in the moment. Your mom walks in, looks at you and says: "Hey! What are you doing! This isn't a time for fun. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should be fasting!" That's exactly the moment we wander into here. The Pharisees and the disciples of John the Baptist don't s…

From Tax Collector To Saint 32:05

4d ago32:05

32:05

We're in Capernaum in our Red-Letter bible study and Jesus walks up to this tax collector and just says "Follow Me". Let's dig in here to understand the back-story of why this is so significant. This event sets the vector of Matthews entire gospel. Notes for "From Tax Collector to Saint" https://www.rabbitholes.faith/e/from-tax-collector-to-saint/…

Undeniable Proof 38:00

4d ago38:00

38:00

Imagine the scene, Jesus is in Capernaum. The house his is in is absolutely mobbed. Four men, carrying their paralytic friend on a stretcher are desperate to get this man in front of Jesus to be healed. What happens becomes undeniable proof of Jesus' divinity. Notes for Undeniable Proof https://www.rabbitholes.faith/e/undeniable-proof/…

Setting Your Priorities - Be Like Mary 15:23

5d ago15:23

15:23

This is such an easy passage to gloss over. On the surface it is super simple. And since we’re following Jesus’ words chronologically, there is a nuance in the context that we could miss if we don’t step off the Red-Letter trail a little bit. We intend to do that here to get a better understanding of the full context. It’s the reason we love these …

The Good Samaritan - The Parable of the Gospel 17:28

6d ago17:28

17:28

As we continue our Red-Letter Bible journey (chronologically), we come upon a lawyer (one who is well versed in biblical Law) and he attempts to trap Jesus. (Luke 10:25-37). If you've simply read your Bible, this is an easy to understand passage. On it's face, it is pretty straight forward. But, unpack the deeper layers and this parable is the Gosp…

The Trial of the Accusers 22:36

7d ago22:36

22:36

Imagine the court room. Jesus is the prosecutor. The Jewish Religious Elite, who started this as the accusers, become the defendants as Jesus turns the table. This is just an amazing scene that I had to read and re-read. Honestly, I'm still not sure I get it all. You'll see as you listen, there are some deep detours that you can take as you listen …

The Sabbath Showdown At Bethesda 16:53

7d ago16:53

16:53

In our Red-Letter Bible study we have encountered Jesus healing a man at the pool of Bethesda. Just to quickly recap, Jesus comes into the sheep gate, the northern court of the temple. Don't miss this. Jesus, the Lamb of God, arrives in Jerusalem through the "House of Mercy". He gets the man who has been visiting this place for 38 years to confess …

YOU Are the Man at the Pool 27:08

8d ago27:08

27:08

You've read that story at least a few times. There is a man at the Pool of Bethesda; he's been going to that pool for 38 years trying to get healed but never makes it to the pool when it bubbles up. Only the first person reaching the pool can be healed. What is John trying to tell you? This is not just a story about a person who can't heal himself.…

Would You Recognize Jesus if He Showed Up In Your Hometown? 12:02

11d ago12:02

12:02

We launch this episode off of the last one, so if you haven't heard that episode, it might be worth listening to. https://www.rabbitholes.faith/e/spoiled-little-brats-jesus-rebukes-the-religious-elite-of-his-day/ As I sat on this, I kept thinking to myself, would it be any different if Jesus showed up today? He might not be preaching in the Synagog…

Spoiled Little Brats... Jesus Rebukes the Religious Elites of His Day 18:56

11d ago18:56

18:56

Jesus rebukes the spiritual immaturity and stubborn unbelief of His generation by comparing them to children who refuse to respond—whether the message comes in mourning or rejoicing. They rejected John the Baptist for his austerity and Jesus for His mercy, proving that their issue was not with style, but with truth itself. In the face of their slan…

John's Curious Question - John the Baptist Wonders if Jesus is the Christ 27:01

13d ago27:01

John the Baptist, now in prison sends his messengers out to ask Jesus a very curious question (especially coming from John). Notes for Johns Curious Question https://www.rabbitholes.faith/e/johns-curious-questionBy gregenewell

The Resurrection of the Widows Son | The Deity of Christ on Display And What it all Means. 52:49

14d ago52:49

52:49

We are about to see why our Podcast is called "Rabbit Holes and Meditations". This one document and corresponding podcast was arrived at via the simple asking of questions prompted by what I read in the short section in Luke about the resurrection of the widows' son (Luke 7:11-18). I pray that this curiosity is partly what Jesus meant about becomin…

Exploring with Hindsight - The Mission and The Cross 16:01

15d ago16:01

16:01

We have some major advantages over the Jews during Jesus' mission. We have the benefit of hindsight and a better picture of what Jesus was on earth to accomplish. It doesn't hurt to have these fundamentals buried in the back of your mind as you walk with Jesus on his journey through the Gospels. Every step in Jesus' journey is intentional. It is al…

Jesus Cleanses Sin - Healing the Leper 16:45

15d ago16:45

16:45

Healing the leper is Messianic. Leprosy was incurable. Jesus demonstrates his power over sin and death and his ultimate command of the law in this compassionate encounter between the leper and Jesus. We explore the biblical accounts of Jesus healing a leper, primarily drawing from Matthew, Mark, and Luke's Gospels. It illuminates the severe social,…

Are You Treating Jesus As Your Genie? 15:21

16d ago15:21

15:21

Your problems exist inside a moment in the context of eternity. The tipping point in your faith will be when your faith exceeds your needs. Your needs don't even show up on the radar. You look up in awe and reverence, and a deep gratitude for what Jesus did for you on the cross and you forget every other reason you raised your arms up and looked up…

Hearing The Word - The Priority is the Message, Not the Miracles 11:54

17d ago11:54

11:54

We follow along with Jesus after he has cast out the demon in the synagogue. While we don't have any direct words from Jesus, his next stop is at Peter's house where he heals Peter's mother-in-law which has some interesting details. After that, the healing and the casting out of demons seems like "the thing". But it won't be long before Jesus makes…

Having Lunch With The Atheist 19:07

18d ago19:07

19:07

Our Red-Letter Bible Study has me going down rabbit holes I had not considered. This one stems from my own testimony. Early in the Gospels, Jesus just parachutes into the land of Israel - an essential unknown and like the cleansing of the temple, he completely upsets the status quo of religion all through the Galilean landscape. Fast forward two th…

Do You Choose God, or Does God Choose You 15:21

19d ago15:21

15:21

Today, we jump off the Red-Letter Bible study because we started to wrestle with the tension we are seeing in Christ's journey. When Jesus goes to Nazareth, he refrains from showing signs because of their unbelief and that took as down a Rabbit Hole. You see, in the next part of Jesus' journey, he heals Peter's mother-in-law and then everyone who c…

Jacob's Well 1:02:43

20d ago1:02:43

1:02:43

Consider this the extended cut of the previous Podcast about the Samaritan Woman. We did not want to leave any details on the table. This story is one of the most profound in all of the New Testament. We witness the progression of a true disciple from spiritual need and confession to one who recognized Jesus as Lord and Savior. Notes for Jacob's We…

Binding the Strong man - Spiritual Warfare 19:49

21d ago19:49

19:49

In Luke 4:31-37 we confront the first of many demons in the Gospels. Luke considers this such an important topic that in his Gospel, this is the first Miracle mentioned. By this time, in Jesus' journey, he has turned water into Wine in Cana, He has healed the sick, he has revealed supernatural knowledge of hearts and minds and He has just left a mo…

The 7-Year Tribulation That Doesn't happen 23:11

22d ago23:11

23:11

I just wanted to take a step back from our Red-Letter Bible Study today and address this issue. This keeps coming up. If you have followed Biblical prophecy, you can't miss the 7-year tribulation timelines, the constant prediction of the "pre-tribulation" rapture and when it doesn't happen, the resetting and rewriting of the timeline to fit the nar…

The Only Miracle in Nazareth 16:59

22d ago16:59

16:59

We continue following Jesus in is early ministry and we get to be the fly on the wall in a truly pivotal scene. When we went down this rabbit hole. It is here where we discover why the Jews are having a difficult time getting on board Jesus' message. While his reputation by now precedes Him, Jesus confronts the hardened hearts in His hometown and l…

The Problem of Faith 16:20

24d ago16:20

16:20

We're picking up where we left of in our Red-Letter Bible study. We're leaving the well and going back to Cana where we saw Jesus' first sign. And interestingly, the theme picks back up right where He left them. People believed because of the signs. People were following Jesus. By this time, they knew Jesus by his signs. Jesus is teaching people to…

The Samaritan Woman At The Well 44:42

25d ago44:42

44:42

Jesus provides a masterclass in discipleship with one lone woman in Samaria. This is probably one of the most memorable encounters with Jesus in all of the Bible. We spend quite some time unpacking the theologically rich detail. Every line is packed with meaning. You can teach the entire gospel with this single encounter. Notes for The Samaritan Wo…

The Light In The Darkness - Jesus Talks to Nicodemus 19:54

26d ago19:54

19:54

Jesus has a very tumultuous start to his ministry. Now all eyes are on him. His rampage through the temple did more than raise eyebrows. During that week at Passover, Jesus did many signs and miracles (we're not given the details). Through it all, a lot of people come to believe that Jesus is who he says he is but there was no repentance or transfo…

Where God Dwells - Jesus Cleanses The Temple... 15:08

27d ago15:08

15:08

Continuing our Red-Letter Bible Study... Jesus leaves the wedding after a dramatic by quiet miracle. He and His family and disciples form a small entourage as they travel to Jerusalem. Jesus doesn't just enter this Passover festival as a quiet observer. He barges onto the scene. It is clear from this entrance into His ministry that we aren't in Kan…

Whatever He Says - Do It! 16:27

28d ago16:27

16:27

We step into Jesus early ministry. Up to now, we found Jesus in the Temple as a young boy. Jesus walks out of that scene straight into the Jordan to be baptized. After that, Jesus spends 40 days in the wilderness, fasting and praying... and being tested (if not tempted). He leaves the wilderness and starts gathering disciples (Andrew, John, Simon P…

The Son Of Man 14:02

28d ago14:02

14:02

We're still early into our Red Letter Bible Study. Jesus has just revealed to Nathanael his divinity - His first reference to Himself as the Son of Man. As we approach Jesus through the eyes of the early apostles, it's useful to understand how they might have understood "Son of Man". At this point, they are not even accustomed to the concept of the…

Verily, Verily - Listen Up!!! 11:46

28d ago11:46

11:46

Whenever you see: "Verily, Verily" (or Truly, Truly) you need to sit up and pay attention. We follow Jesus on his early journey. Andrew, Simon and John are the first apostles. Here we see Jesus renaming Simon and then we see Philip, who was a follower of John the Baptist. He brings Nathanael to the party. Jesus has some interesting things to say to…

Follow Me 22:15

29d ago22:15

22:15

If you think Peter and John and the rest of the apostles saw Jesus walking by and dropped everything when he said, "Follow Me", perhaps you need to dig a little deeper. That's what we did and it led me right back to my own testimony. It led me to this thought: He didn't fill my boat with fish. I didn't see Him cast out demons, feed thousands or rai…

A Light Steps Into the Darkness - From the Old Testament Into the New 29:51

30d ago29:51

29:51

You can imagine a cinematic sequence that starts with Moses and the Exodus, then fades to Joshua crossing the Jordon. Joshua encounters the giants in the promised land and they have to deal with them. David and his brothers finish off the Giants but the spiritual remnant remains. We fade into a scene where Jesus enters the same water as Joshua had.…

The Heart of Jesus 13:54

We are three days into our red-letter bible study, and it is already become more profound than I had ever imagined. As most on this podcast know, we develop a lot of this content with A.I. but what you may not know is how we treat A.I. We have set it up so get solid, biblical answers back. Before A.I., we had access to things like the Strong's refe…

The Baptism of Jesus 36:20

1M ago36:20

36:20

The Bible is interactive like no other book. How many times have readers just breezed past Matthew 3:13–17? I certainly did. When you sit on these five verses and start asking questions and following the leads, the entire Bible opens up in front of you. At the very least, one should be asking why did Jesus need to be baptized, or want to be baptize…

Today is Day 1 of the Red-Letter Bible Study. We encounter the young Jesus and even at age 12 discover some profound truths. As usual, we take some cues from the study and go down some rabbit holes. Notes for The Boy Jesus https://www.rabbitholes.faith/e/the-boy-jesus/By gregenewell

Listening to Jesus - Intro to the Red Letter Bible Study 18:37

1M ago18:37

18:37

Sometimes it can feel like you're lost in the weeds. We've been studying end times for quite some time on this podcast. We know it's important but at times, amidst all the dates and times and cryptic interpretations that go back and forth, we began to feel a little disconnected. Two things surface from our end times studies. One, there are a myriad…

Deception In the Modern Church 21:15

1M ago21:15

21:15

I’ve found a fascination with the history of dispensational theology. It's amazing how pervasive it is in our modern interpretation of the Bible (and how deceptive). I bet if you asked people who thought that the rapture was going to happen before tribulation to raise their hand, you’d get an overwhelming majority. Further, I’m betting for anyone t…

Wrestling With Scripture - The 1000 Year Reign of Christ 23:48

1M ago23:48

23:48

Yesterday we suggested that the millennium might NOT be an actual 1000-year period following Christ's return. It could be symbolic of the church age. That really didn't sit right with me (and many listeners) so we forced the issue through our Berean filter. The process is probably more interesting than the final result. We were able to get even our…

The Rapture is the Hook! 43:58

1M ago43:58

43:58

WOW! This is a deep one that I didn't expect! So, I'm currently discipling a Christian who is deep into his Bible. But he feels something is missing. Honestly, I think God sent him to me, and not the other way around. In order to approach him at his level, I have to understand how he is viewing scripture. He has used the words "rightly divided" man…

RAPTURE THEORY If you follow this podcast sequentially, you'll going to see inconsistencies in interpretations. We've left the podcasts out there specifically to point out the fact that you're witnessing a journey through scripture as one might actually encounter scripture and interpretations. All along the way, we believed whole-heartedly that wha…

Harmonizing Daniel with Revelation - Overlapping Timelines and Events 26:49

2M ago26:49

26:49

As we walk through Daniel 12, we had some ground rules. We wanted to stay within scriptural context and not be swayed by interpretation. It seems through history, as a major theological figure creates an interpretative framework, they tend to build on the framework instead of checking against what scripture actually says. We see this playout with R…

Daniel - The End 16:15

2M ago16:15

16:15

Daniel Chapter 11 beginning at verse 35 shifts to the end times. This is basically Daniel's version of the book of revelation. One can't help but speculate about this considering the world events as they are unfolding today. This is in many ways feeling all too real. We also go down the rabbit hole of rapture timing. Prophecy covers over 30% of the…

Daniel Sees Our History With Incredible Detail 18:15

2M ago18:15

18:15

We take a slow walk through the historical part of Daniel chapter 11. This could take an entire semester to teach, and Daniel tells it all in 35 verses. As we walk through this, we try not to take our eyes off what is going on in Israel and try to keep everything here in context. From this context, we know that Daniel is seeing 200 years into the f…

Daniels 70th Week - Living in Prophetic Times 16:54

2M ago16:54

16:54

The final part of Daniel Chapter 9 involves Gabriel showing up to respond directly to Daniel's prayer with an answer. And boy! what an answer. Gabriel lays it out! Down to the day, the entry of the Messiah is prophesied. Then, we get that final week. There is some speculation regarding the time as to when it occurs but WHAT occurs is spelled out cl…

Daniel's Prayer - The Need For a Savior 16:36

2M ago16:36

16:36

Daniels is triggered by the realization that the judgement over Jerusalem is coming to a 70-year close. This revelation comes from Jeremiah. He knows that Jerusalem has not repented. Daniel is anguished and this prayer is calling for the Messiah. In this, at a very foundational level, Daniel is showing us how to pray to the father. We could have dr…

Daniel Chapter 8 Would you watch a football game if you knew how it was going to end? You might if you had placed a bet on that game! And what if the person who told you how the game would end had a history of telling events before they happened? We are sitting in such a game - in between two prophetic events told by Daniel. We know exactly how the…

You spend time with your bible, but you don't read the Quran... and why would you. To be honest, we didn't read it either, but we did look at some very prominent theologians who did. We investigated the comparison of the end times from the Quran to the Bible. What if the savior of the Islamic world is the same person as the antichrist in the bible?…
