Gospel GumboGospel GumboWho Wrote the Bible? Divine Inspiration and Human HandsDid God write the Bible—or did people?In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we explore the mystery of how the Bible came to be. It wasn’t dropped from the sky. It was written over centuries by dozens of people—prophets, poets, apostles, and more—each with their own style, voice, and story.We’ll talk about:What divine inspiration really means (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)Why the Bible has different literary styles and personalities (Paul vs. John vs. Mark)How some books (like Hebrews) have unknown authorsWhat it means that Jesus affirmed Moses’ authorship—even with disp...2025-07-2410 minGospel GumboGospel GumboDo We Go to Heaven When We Die? (And What Comes After)Do Christians go to heaven when they die?Yes—but that’s not the whole story.In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we explore what the Bible actually says about life after death—and why the resurrection of the body is the ultimate Christian hope.We’ll cover:What happens immediately after death (the intermediate state)What the Bible says about heaven now vs. the new heavens and new earthWhy Jesus’ resurrection is the model for our futureWhat “life after life after death” means—and why it’s often forgottenWhether we’ll recognize one anothe...2025-07-1706 minGospel GumboGospel GumboThe Bible Doesn’t Say That: Myths Christians Believe Are in Scripture“God won’t give you more than you can handle.”“Money is the root of all evil.”“Cleanliness is next to godliness.”They sound familiar. They sound biblical. But… the Bible doesn’t say that.In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we take a closer look at popular Christian sayings that are often quoted as Scripture—but aren’t. More than harmless mix-ups, these myths can actually distort our view of God, suffering, and grace.We’ll explore:Where these common phrases came fromWhat the Bible actually says in their placeWhy false...2025-07-1007 minGospel GumboGospel GumboHebrew, Aramaic, and Greek: Why the Bible Speaks Three LanguagesWhy is the Bible written in three different languages?Why did God use Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek to reveal His Word—and what do those languages tell us about the people, cultures, and message behind the Scriptures?In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we explore:The role of Hebrew as the language of Israel’s covenant and poetryThe rise of Aramaic—a common language during exile and Jesus’ own speechThe use of Greek for the New Testament—and why its precision and reach matteredWhat each language reveals about God’s timing, audience, and intentionalityWhy language mat...2025-07-0309 minGospel GumboGospel GumboWhy Do Christians Worship on Sunday? From Sabbath to ResurrectionWhy do Christians worship on Sunday instead of Saturday?Did we just change the Sabbath—or is something deeper going on?In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we explore the biblical, historical, and theological reasons why the early church shifted its primary day of worship from the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday—the Lord’s Day. This isn’t about convenience. It’s about resurrection, creation, and new creation.We’ll unpack:What the Old Testament says about Sabbath restHow Jesus challenged and fulfilled the SabbathWhy the early church began meeting on the first da...2025-06-2606 minGospel GumboGospel GumboWhen Were You Saved? Yes. (Salvation in Past, Present, and Future)Are you saved? If so… when were you saved?In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we explore one of the Bible’s most overlooked truths: salvation is a process, not just a moment. The New Testament speaks of salvation in the past, present, and future—and understanding that changes everything about how we live the Christian life.We’ll explore:What it means to say “I have been saved” (justification)Why the Bible says “I am being saved” (sanctification)How to hope in “I will be saved” (glorification and final resurrection)Why this timeline matters for spiritua...2025-06-1908 minGospel GumboGospel GumboDid God Really Command Genocide? Wrestling with Divine Violence in the BibleHow can a loving God command violence—and even the destruction of entire nations?In this sobering and necessary episode of Gospel Gumbo, we take an honest look at some of the most difficult passages in the Bible: God’s commands to drive out and destroy the Canaanites. We don’t sidestep the tension—and we don’t rush to resolve it either.This episode explores:What the Bible actually says about Israel’s conquest of CanaanWhy these passages are called genocide by modern readersThe historical and moral context of Canaanite evil and injusticeHow divine judgm...2025-06-1207 minGospel GumboGospel GumboTwelve Tribes… But Who’s Counting? Why the Bible’s Tribal Lists Don’t MatchWhy does the Bible say there are twelve tribes of Israel—but list them differently in different places?In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we explore one of the Bible’s quiet mysteries: the shifting lists of Israel’s tribes. From Genesis to Revelation, the math doesn’t always add up. And that’s not a mistake—it’s a message.We’ll cover:The difference between the 12 sons of Jacob and the tribes that bear their namesWhy Levi is sometimes included—and sometimes left outHow Joseph’s tribe becomes two (Ephraim and Manasseh)Why Dan disappears f...2025-06-0511 minGospel GumboGospel GumboWas Job a real person?Was Job a historical figure—or a literary creation?In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we explore the ancient debate: Was Job a real person in history, or a divinely inspired parable about suffering and faith?You’ll learn:What the Bible says explicitly about Job—from the Book of Job, Ezekiel, and JamesWhy some scholars view Job as historical, and others see him as symbolicHow literary structure, cultural context, and biblical references inform both sidesWhy the meaning of Job’s story doesn’t depend on whether he “actually lived”How this question shapes our view of Go...2025-05-2909 minGospel GumboGospel GumboSeason 2 TrailerThink you know what the Bible says? Think again.In Season 2 of Gospel Gumbo, we’re diving into the most common Bible myths, misquoted verses, and misunderstood ideas in Christian culture. From the real meaning of “God won’t give you more than you can handle” to whether we really go to heaven when we die, this season separates biblical truth from Christian cliché.We’ll explore surprising questions like:Was Job a real historical person—or a literary character?Did God really command genocide in the Old Testament?Why are there different lists of the twelve...2025-05-2101 minThe Nook PodcastThe Nook PodcastWalking with Grace: A Hospice Chaplain’s Calling in Life’s Final MomentsSend us a textThis episode is one that will touch your soul in a profound way.
