The Berean Project Podcast
A fresh take on learning about context and culture so that churches can stop the great adventure of missing the point.
Episodes
We’ve all been there — circling the same questions, holding back from deciding, hoping clarity will magically appear. But what if staying undecided is the very thing holding you back from growth, truth, and being part of something bigger than yourself? In this episode, we explore why conclusions are so hard to reach, how they shape our future, and why this moment might be your historic opportunity to step out of the status quo.
"Bible = Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. It’s catchy. It’s popular. But it may be shaping our faith in ways we never intended. What if the Bible was never meant to be a universal rulebook? Join us as we explore the historical and cultural context of Scripture and discover why reducing it to ‘instructions’ could be missing the point entirely."
Want to understand the deepest question of modern day Christianity? Ask someone if the Bible is written to you or for you and you will be shocked at the look of confusion on most people. Which is it? And before you say "both", have a listen to this compelling content.
Part two of the three part series of being a part of something bigger than yourself.
We had the opportunity to release a supplemental episode to help with the prooftexting problem in our churches today. This is getting a lot of feedback and will most likely rise to the top of the pile of issues that need to be addressed in the future. Instead of giving you a typical podcast with information, we have tried a new angle that I am very excited abou...
So what is context? In this episode we will begin to explore the basics of using context in the Bible. As usual we are not using any scriptures to explain anything but taking a step back approach to understanding our shortcomings of scriptures through the way we were taught (myself included) Be sure to start with episode 1 since each of those shorter episodes build on one a...
This one is a campfire discussion about how we can accidently manipulate the church. Its not for the faint of heart and to be honest, not a very fun thing to think about. However if you have listened to the first four episodes you will see a theme start to develop that makes you dismantle some narratives. To be honest hard discussions are essentially good for you at the end of the day. Find a...
This is where the first three episodes come together and start to formulate how we can view our spiritual journey even if we are not sure we are on one. Again, we are emphasizing on the fact that we are not using scripture here to muddy the waters of interpretations.
Before you study one word in your Bible, before you listen to another sermon on sunday, you should have these two tools in your toolbox so they are ready to be used. Why? Because when you start listening or reading with a couple of really good questions or tools in your mind, a whole new world opens up, and this is even before the Word of God is explored.. Curious? Start with Episode one and work your way thro...
Asking questions should be a part of any spiritual journey, yet questions are rarely encouraged. Just sit there and listen to what someone tells you is mostly the theme of today's faith gatherings. Lets start off with good questions.
The first one has to be, what's the goal, or more importantly what is your goal? Everyone has a different goal, why should we be all jammed into a cookie cutter diagra...
Ever walk into a church trying to figure out what they are all about? You don't get much with most churches "about us" sections since they just rattle off a bunch of beliefs. Have you wondered, am I going to get fed something that I need or something that someone else thinks I need? Asking questions is the key and this episode has zero scriptures in it so that you can get to the bottom of fi...
