Episodes
Our host Bill Petri discusses with Bible scholar and teacher John Ewen about the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This topic is critical if we are to fully understand our identification in Jesus Christ!
In Paul's letters to the Thessalonians, Paul made it clear that members of the Body of Christ need to keep at their labors, for the way of Christ is not idleness but service and excellence in work!

2 Chronicles 7:14 contains a promise to heal the land if the people repent. We must ask ourselves is this a promise God is giving to all the nations of the earth or is it a promise to a very select nation. How does this verse apply in today's Dispensation of the Grace of God? Do not forget to follow us, and leave your comments. You can also follow us on Instagram, our thread is @differingthingspodcast
In today's world we must ask: "Does the resurrection of Jesus Christ matter?" "Does it truly make a difference?" The Apostle Paul sure thought so. In writing to the Corinthians, Paul was faced with the startling news that some in Corinth denied the future resurrection of the body. Death was the end. Not much has changed since the first century. Today, the same view is held by skeptics of the faith. How important is the resurrection...
Easter is nearly upon us. When we read of Jesus Christ's crucifixion we read that the Passover was nigh. What is the Passover, what is its significance? Our host Bill Petri interviews Bible Scholar and Teacher John Ewen about the topic of Passover. If you truly want to understand why Passover is still relevant you will want to listen!

Paul's distrust of human centered ethics stems from his understanding of the human condition. With Adam humanity fell -- human fallenness meaning that people cannot always know and do what is right (Rom.3:10-11). They became slaves to sin (Rom.6:17-20). Their minds are blinded by the God of this eon (2 Cor.4:4). Thankfully, Paul lays out a Biblical ethic for the Body of Christ. It is a Christ centered ethic. How does this impact ou...
In some communities, even Christian communities there is a stigma around having a mental illness or struggling with mental health issues. Unfortunately, this can make it very difficult for those facing such issues. What do the Scriptures teach about mental health and mental illness? You can now follow us Instagram.

The Apostle Paul creates much confusion among Pastors, teachers, and denominationalists. Were the 12 apostles lax in completing their commission so God had to raise up Paul? Did the 12 act in error when they ordained Matthias to replace Judas? What does the Word of God tell us about the twelve apostle's commission and His raising up of this new Apostle Paul?
The Greek word Gehenna is used twelve times in our New Testament. Typically, most English Versions translate the word as hell. Is this a good rendering? What do the Scriptures of the New Testament mean when it speaks of Gehenna? How should the word be understood? Often the phrase unquenchable fire is used when speaking of Gehenna. Does unquenchable mean non-ending? How does Jesus' sacrifice of Himself for sin impact any of this?
For any Bible study to be true and accurate it must recognize Paul's authority and message as being something distinct and separate from what existed before him. Exploring Paul's background will help us understand him better and to interpret his words accurately. So, who was this man, Paul?
The Jennifer Crumbley conviction should send shivers down the spine of every Bible Believer. Once again, the United States of America has decided to ignore clear Bible teaching and replace that teaching with its new social order. We should be terrified of the consequences!
The first poem of the Bible is found in Genesis 1:27. In Hebrew, it is composed of three lines of four words each.
vay-yivra ELOHIM et-hadam betsalmov
betsalem ELOHIM bara otov
zakar uneqevah bara otom
We are meant to pause and consider these words very carefully, We are meant to consider His creation--of us! There are three great truths this short poem reveals. What are they and what does it mean about us? Please consider followin...
Today's special guest host Phil Scranton asks; "Why did God tell Adam to serve and to Guard His garden?" "What does this mean?"

What does the Apostle Paul mean when declares in Galatians 6:17: “I am bearing in my body the brand marks of the Lord Jesus Christ.” With these words the Apostle Paul boldly proclaimed some of the most profound words written about a Believers identification in the Lord Jesus Christ. Today, Differing Things will look at how this phrase identifies us with our Lord Jesus Christ. Do not forget to leave your comments, or better yet why ...
How do you respond when God gives you something you don’t want? How would you describe your feelings when God brings people, circumstances, and situations into your life that are at best inconvenient and at worst irritating, exasperating, and perhaps even life threatening? How do you respond on those occasions when you reflect on what you don’t have but wish you did, or when you think about what you do have but wish you didn’t? Thi...
Are men born sinners? A commonly abused "proof" text is Psalm 51:1. So just what does this text teach? Does it teach that we are born sinners or does it teach something all together different? We strongly believe it teaches something radically different, but what?
What is time? When did time start? Is God outside of time, and thus knows past, present, and future? How does God and His relationship with time impact humanities choices? These questions form the basis for today's Differing Things Podcast. Do not forget to give us a like, leave your comments, and follow us!
A few years back Bill Petri did a study in Buffalo, New York about the star of Bethlehem. This is a very important study, and really delves into some important Bible study truths. Differing Things is happy to share this unique Christmas study with you!
For thousands of years the world has been broken. Misery, darkness, and the work of Satan are firmly entrenched. The song O Holy Night has a line which sums this up perfectly. :Long lay the world in sin and erroe oining till He appeared, and the soul felt its worth." Just what does the birth of Christ show us? How can events from so long ago understand our condition of brokenness today?
Many individuals today are confused about which gospel they are to believe and obey. They are trying to obey the commands and instructions for a former message not realizing God is doing something different today. We see two gospels taught in the New Testament -- The Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of the Grace of God. Which gospel applies to us today?
