The Bible says that we are to remember Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. But how often are we supposed to partake of the ceremonial feast that Jesus instituted right before His death? Does the bible give a clear answer on this topic or is this up to church leadership to decide? Join Walker, Isaiah, and their guest Sawyer as they discuss, "What Does the Bible Say about the Lord's Supper?"

Does "making a joyful noise" really give us the authority to have instruments in worship? How does the New Testament define worship? How did using instruments in worship really come about? Join Walker, Isaiah, and their guest Zach Barnhart as they discuss, "What Does the Bible Say about Instrumental Worship?"

Why do we do the things we do in worship? That's something we all ask ourselves at some point. In this episode, Walker Howell, Isaiah Leininger and their guest Caulyn Holbrook discuss, "What are the Acts of Worship?"

What does the Bible truly mean when it says baptism? Does it mean that you can just be sprinkled? Does it mean that there is something "special" in the water? Or does it mean full emersion into the water? How does baptism affect someone's spiritual life and everyday mindset? Who should be baptized? There are a lot of questions about baptism, so join Walker, Isaiah, and their guest Edison Boggess as they discuss, "Baptism, Sprinkling, and Holy Water."

Is there truly only one way to be saved? Or does the Bible outline multiple ways to be saved? One church may teach that baptism is essential for salvation, while another church may teach that "all you must do is believe and you'll be saved". Which church is right? Or are they both right? Join Walker, Isaiah, and their guest Alex DeGraves as they discuss, "The Nature of Salvation."

Many churches today based their practices off of the statement that they did it in the Old Testament! Is the Old Testament something we are still supposed to live by today or is it just for our example? What is the difference between the Old and New Testaments? Join Walker, Isaiah and their guest Adrain Judd as they discuss, " The Two Covenants."

Maybe you have heard of the saying "Mans Way versus Gods Way." Which way is actually the way to follow? Can a supernatural being have authority in our lives? Those who follow the Christian faith are told to live by the Bible. Is the Bible a true and authoritative book? Join Walker, Isaiah, and their guest Jude Bowers as they discuss, "The Authority of Scripture."

Did the Bible actually come from God? Are the words in red truly Jesus' words? For centuries the Bible has existed. Over time it has been translated to fit a variety of needs. Are all translations accurate or are there false translations? How do we know that the Bible is God's inspired word? Join Walker, Isaiah, and their guest Sawyer Reid as they discuss, "The Inspiration of Scripture."

What happens when we're heartbroken? This world has many tragic happenings every day, and sometimes the weight of grief is too much to bear on our own. In these times of trial, where can we look? Is there anything to be found in the Scriptures? Join Walker, Isaiah, and Dr. Justin Rogers, director of the graduate school of theology at FHU, as they discuss, 'Dealing with Grief."

Why? It's a question many of us have grown up asking, and a question that begins to hold more and more weight the more we experience in this world. Many things around us are confusing, confounding, and seemingly senseless. No matter how much good we try to do, it seems like the only thing we find ourselves left with is bad. Why do bad things happen to good people? Join Walker, Isaiah and Dr. Matthew Sokolowski as they examine "The Problem of Suffering."

Saying I'm sorry is a hard thing to do, except when we don't mean it. Forgiveness is something that is difficult to understand, and even more difficult to carry out. How do we respond when people do us wrong? Do we become the bigger person, or do we give them what they gave to us? What happens when the person who needs our forgiveness is ourselves? What does this look like in practice? Join Walker, Isaiah, and Jeff Jenkins of The Jenkins Institute as they discuss, "The Value of Forgiveness."

Fighting in the streets. Dogfights over countries. Torpedoes beneath the sea. Violence moves like an epidemic across the Earth. It is demoralizing, it is disheartening, yet it is seemingly unavoidable. It is on every scale from country conflict to personal disputes. For Christians, this provides many questions. Do we get up and defend our country, or do we stay passive? How do we handle ourselves when violence is threatened against us? How do we try and stop it? Join Walker, Isaiah, and Preacher Robert Hatfield as we discuss, "The Bible and Violence."

One of the saddest things to begin to rise in the past 20 years is the rate of mental health issues, especially among young people. This is not a statistic exclusive to the world, nor is it one we can even pretend to ignore. However, we can often conflate the rising trends with feeling as though it is a new idea, and thus can worry about or even disregard the question of whether or not God spoke about such things. Join Isaiah, Timothy, and Lonnie Jones, a licensed professional counselor, police chaplain and de-escalation strategy tutor, as they discuss, "Mental Health and Suicide."

For the past few years, it seems like the news has been on in every airport lobby, every waiting room, and every social media feed you come across. Every waking moment of the day can be spent obsessing over the next political hot seat, scandal, or issue. It oftentimes makes us question how to feel, view, or act in our own Christian lives with so much happening around us. How do we balance politics and God in a way that glorifies him. Join Walker, Isaiah and Dr. Mark Blackwelder, Dean of the College of Biblical Studies at FHU, as they discuss, "Political Policies and the Church."

Holy matrimony, or wholly malformed? Marriage is a blessing, but many in our world today struggle to see it as such. There have been many alterations, extensions, and substitutions since God's original model, so how do we see it the same way He does? Are we in unison, or have we grown apart from the plan? Join Walker, Isaiah and Dr. Donnie Debord as they discuss, "Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage."

We are more interconnected than ever in the 21st century, which comes with a whole new slew of problems. Back-alley dealings are now only a click away, shameful storefronts are now anonymous, and the difficulties of an addicted world are more prevalent than ever. More than most other points in previous centuries, we are seeing addiction statistics rise in most every regard across the board. Join Walker, Isaiah, and Dr. Doug Burleson, Assistant Dean of Biblical Studies at FHU as they discuss, "Pornography, Sex, and Drugs."

What is your mindset going to church? Are you excited to go to church? Or is it a struggle to find the motivation every time the assembly meets to go and sit through a worship service? What does the bible say about those who simply go to church just to ""go through the motions""? Is that the right mindset to have when we go to the assembly? Join Walker, Isaiah and their guest Wyatt Fairman as they discuss, "Wait........The Bible Talks about Pew Warmers?"

"There are many circumstances in our life that can shake our faith. Some circumstances can even lead us to doubt that the God of the Bible exists. Is doubt wrong? What does the Bible say about doubt? When we have doubt what should we do? Join Walker and his guest Hailey Watson as they discuss, "Wait........ The Bible Talks about Doubt?"

Relationships are hard. Whether it is a friendship, an acquaintance, or even someone who you are in love with, any relationship takes commitment. Commitment takes time and time takes effort. There are fundamental principles addressed throughout scripture about relationships. Join Walker, Isaiah, and their guest Lincoln Shotts as they discuss, "Wait.......The Bible Talks about Relationships?"

2020 brought to light an issue our world has been struggling with for quite some time: Racism. Everything now is centered around the color of someone's skin. If someone does a wrongdoing to another, we are quick to flag it as racism. If someone disrespects someone else the world is quick to take into account the color of your skin. The big questions we should be asking ourselves is "How would Jesus handle this issue of Racism? " and "Does Jesus even care what color your skin is?" Join Walker, Isaiah and their guest Nate James as they discuss, "Wait........The Bible Talks about Cultural Diversity?"

Join Walker and Isaiah as they discuss, "Wait........The Bible Talks about Cultural Movements?

One of the issues currently dividing churches, people, and America as a whole is politics. The world is constantly debating over who is in office and whether they are qualified to be in office.

Join Walker, Isaiah and their guest Jesse Eaton as they discuss, "Wait........ The Bible Talks about Politics?"

"Currently, approximately 9.2% of people (689 million) in the world live on less than $1.90 a day." Poverty is an issue that has been prominent for quite some time. Why would Jesus allow for poverty to happen? How would He want us to deal with poverty if or when we are faced with it? Join Walker, Isaiah and their guest Timothy Secula as they discuss, "Wait........The Bible Talks about Poverty?"

You may have heard the phrase "There is a church on every corner", which is true. However, how do we know which church is teaching truth? Or are all churches right? What does the Bible say about division among churches? Join Walker, Isaiah and their guest Logan Richardson as they discuss, "Wait........ The Bible Talks about Denominationalism?"
