The Burros of Berea Podcast

In this episode of Rick and Elaine Discuss the Book of Job, we continue our slow and honest walk through Job’s response to his friends, focusing especially on chapters 9 and 10. From that opening point forward, we explore together what it means to wrestle with God from a place of genuine suffering rather than abstract theology. We reflect on Job’s growing realization that his pain cannot be neatly explained by moral formulas or inh...

It's funny. I discovered author William James Rankine Taylor from a Google search on books by Full Preterists and I saw a link to Walmart's website where one was offered. Little did I know, that same individual was recently interviewed by Tim Martin (author of Beyond Creation Science and content creator of Covenant Creation's YouTube Channel). Thankfully Tim graciously introduced me to him and got me this interview. And it was a bl...

In this episode of Rick and Elaine Discuss the Book of Job, we move deeper into the tension of Job’s dialogue with his friends and begin to see just how dangerous “good theology” can become when it is detached from compassion. As we walk through Bildad’s response in Job 8, we explore how tradition, inherited assumptions, and rigid cause-and-effect thinking shape his worldview and drive his conclusions about Job’s suffering. By keep...

In this fifth episode of Rick and Elaine Discuss the Book of Job it quickly becomes one of those conversations that invites you to slow down and sit with the text rather than rush past it. As we work through Job chapters 4 through 7, the discussion moves naturally between Scripture, lived experience, and honest wrestling with suffering. What stands out most is the care taken to distinguish between speaking about God and actually sp...

This episode of Rick and Elaine Discuss the Book of Job is one of the most emotionally weighty and theologically rich conversations in the series so far. From the opening point on, we slow down and allow Job chapter 3 to speak for itself, carefully distinguishing between narrative prose and dense Hebrew poetry, and feel the raw grief rather than rush past it. We honor the honesty of Job’s lament, showing that Scripture does not shy...

In this episode of Rick and Elaine Discuss the Book of Job, we slow down and sit in the ashes with Job. We wrestle with questions most of us try to avoid. Is God still good when everything is stripped away? What does faith look like when suffering becomes personal, prolonged, and deeply unfair? We explore Job’s silence, his refusal to curse God, and the haunting question posed by his wife, “Do you still hold fast your integrity?” a...

Well... you asked and so you shall receive! I'm going to release the audio from my study with Elaine Ray Clark on the Book of Job here on our Burros of Berea Podcast feed.

In Episode 2 of Rick and Elaine Discuss The Book of Job, the conversation deepens as we step into one of the most challenging and misunderstood passages in all of Scripture. Together, Elaine Ray Clark and I wrestle honestly with suffering, testing, and the role of...

In this episode of The Burros of Berea, I sat down with Brad Robertson, founder of Grace Reach, whose journey from traditional church life through burnout, hyper dispensationalism, and ultimately into fulfilled eschatology is as honest as it is compelling. Brad shares how a lifelong passion for Scripture was nearly buried beneath what he calls “toxic discipleship,” a system that emphasizes spiritual performance over the finished wo...

In this deeply moving testimony episode, I sit down with my friend Shan Morgan to trace the quiet, resilient faith that carried her through childhood loss, trauma, and profound grief. Shan shares her earliest memories of encountering Jesus in the aftermath of her father’s sudden death, the stabilizing influence of faithful aunts, and the long road of healing after severe abuse. Her story is honest without being sensational, tender ...

In this episode of The Burros of Berea, I sit down with Sarah Fisher, the mind and heart behind HebrewWordLessons.com, for one of the most thoughtful and refreshing conversations we have had in a long time. Sarah shares her personal faith journey, how a late-in-life awakening led her to the Hebrew language, and why studying Scripture through its original words transformed the way the Bible came alive for her. What began as a simple...

Merry Christmas!!! After having so much fun last year, I am joined once again by my good friend and mentor Gary DeMar for our second annual Christmas movie conversation. What began as a simple holiday movie list quickly turned into a deep exploration of film history, wartime culture, hidden biblical themes in classic cinema, and several forgotten animated gems that place the Bible at the center of the story. From Jimmy Stewart’s re...

Hey Burros of Berea listeners! Have I got a treat for you today! Cameron and Toni Driver sat down with me to talk about the exciting music that Toni has been making with the use of AI song generation tools. After years of being a Southern Baptist and taught Dispensationalism most of her life, she heard the news that Jesus Christ fulfilled his promises to the first century generation. From there, the music she was listening too no l...

On Monday, December 1st, 2025, our friend Glenn Hill went home to be with the Lord. Today we are re-releasing his testimony episode to honor his memory and to do what he always wanted to do, tell people about Jesus Christ.

There are people you meet in this life who leave a quiet, unmistakable mark on your soul. Glenn Hill was one of those people for me. He carried himself with a gentleness that never once diminished the strength of ...

David opens up about growing up in a world shaped by The Late Great Planet Earth, how fear-based e...
