    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 124 | 1 Corinthians 1-8

    Corinth was a busy, worldly port city, and the church there was split into camps: "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas." Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open 1 Corinthians with Paul's question, "Is Christ divided?" and his answer: preach Christ crucified, a message the world calls foolishness and God calls wisdom. They then cover Paul's practical teaching on growing from milk to solid food, building your life on the one foundation that survives the fire, and treating your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. They also discuss church discipline, marriage & singleness, and how to use your freedom so it never becomes a stumbling block for someone else.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 123 | Romans 7-16

    "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me?" Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence take up Paul's most honest question and follow his answer through the rest of Romans. They start with the war between the flesh & the Spirit, then reach the high point of Romans 8: creation groaning like a woman in labor, the Spirit praying for us when we have no words, and the promise that nothing can separate us from the love of God. From there, they cover Paul's anguish over Israel, the call to be a living sacrifice transformed by a renewed mind, praying for those in authority, and Paul's closing greetings to Phoebe, Priscilla and Aquila, and Rufus.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 122 | Romans 1-6

    "The righteous shall live by faith." Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Book of Romans with that line, calling it Paul's greatest work of theology, and the summary of everything he wrote. In Romans 1–6, they work through why every person is "without excuse," why there is "none righteous, not even one," and how Abraham was justified by faith long before the law. They also cover the hope that grows out of suffering and the difference between a wage & a gift: "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 121 | Acts 20-28

    Paul turns his face toward Jerusalem, knowing chains are waiting for him. Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence follow him the rest of the way in Acts 20–28: Eutychus falling from the window at Troas, the tearful goodbye to the Ephesian elders, Agabus binding himself with Paul's belt, the uproar in the Sanhedrin, and Paul's trials before Felix, Festus & King Agrippa. Then comes the storm, the shipwreck and the viper on Malta, and two years in Rome preaching "with all boldness and without hindrance." Along the way they unpack Paul's call to turn away from sin and turn toward God, and why Paul cared about finishing the race more than walking free.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 120 | Acts 9-19

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence trace the Gospel's explosive outward push in Acts 9–19, from Saul's conversion on the Damascus road through Peter's vision at Simon the Tanner's house, the Jerusalem Council, and Paul's first & second missionary journeys. The hosts linger on Ananias — the man who heard "go to Saul of Tarsus" and still walked in saying "brother Saul" — and on the humor & humanity of Acts 12, where the praying church refuses to believe Peter is actually standing at the door. A standout thread runs through the whole episode: the absolute necessity of knowing the Word of God, with Pastor Kevin pointing to Stephen before the Sanhedrin, Jesus on the road to Emmaus, and Paul at the Areopagus as examples of people who knew Scripture inside & out. The episode also announces the podcast's plans for next year — a chronological journey through the whole Bible — and closes in Athens, where Paul insists Jesus is not one god among many, but the risen Lord of all.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 119 | Acts 1-8

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Book of Acts, tracing the birth of the church from the ascension, the 10 days of prayer through Pentecost, Peter's first sermon, and the explosive growth that followed. The hosts unpack the tongues of Pentecost as a reversal of Babel — the confusion of language undone as the Gospel is proclaimed in every tongue gathered in Jerusalem — and lay out the five marks of the Acts 2 church: evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, worship, and prayer. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin draws a sharp distinction between the communalism of the early church, where believers gave freely because Christ alone was the head, and modern systems that demand redistribution while refusing to declare Jesus as Lord. The episode closes on Stephen's history-sweeping defense & martyrdom, and the scattering that followed — a reminder that what the enemy means for evil, God uses to carry the Gospel to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 118 | John 13-21

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Gospel of John to a close, covering the upper room, the farewell discourse, the high priestly prayer, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. The hosts open with a striking observation about the foot washing — that at a U-shaped table, Judas occupied the position of honor beside Jesus, meaning the Savior washed His betrayer's feet no less thoroughly than John's. From there the episode moves through Jesus shwocasing how love is a verb rather than a noun, the promise of the Paraclete (the Holy Spirit), and John 17's prayer for unity — where Pastor Kevin issues a pointed challenge that every church and tradition genuinely declaring Jesus as Lord must stand together, because the world is watching. The episode closes on the beach in John 21, where Jesus meets a finally-honest Peter with "do you love me?" — and the beautiful reminder that the love of God is never a reservoir, always a river.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 117 | John 4-12

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence work through the heart of John's Gospel, tracing the "I AM" statements that anchor the book — the bread of life, the light of the world, the good shepherd — and the stunning encounters that surround them. The episode opens with the Samaritan woman at the well, where the hosts unpack the cultural walls Jesus deliberately crossed and the moment she left her water pot behind to tell an entire city about the man who told her everything she ever did. A standout moment comes at the pool of Bethesda, where Pastor Kevin shares an insight that reframed the passage entirely: Jesus' warning to "stop sinning or something worse may happen" speaks to returning to a life of bondage once you've been set free. The episode closes on the raising of Lazarus, with the hosts lingering on the shortest verse in Scripture — Jesus wept — and the beautiful truth that Christ does not stand in victory calling us to find our own way out of grief; He steps into our grief with tears and walks us to the victory Himself.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 116 | Luke 21 - John 3

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Gospel of Luke to a close and step into the Gospel of John — covering Holy Week, the crucifixion, the resurrection, the road to Emmaus, and then one of the most theologically breathtaking prologues in all of Scripture. The hosts linger on Luke's distinctive eye for human detail: the disciples in Gethsemane found "exhausted from sorrow" rather than laziness, and the devastating moment in Luke 22 where the Lord turns and looks straight at Peter — not with an "I told you so," but with compassion and a calling to return and strengthen his brothers. From there the episode opens to John 1, where Pastor Kevin unpacks the Greek behind "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" — literally, the Word tabernacled among us — and walks through John's day-by-day account of the first week of Jesus' ministry. Today's installment closes on a lesson that has shaped Pastor Kevin's ministry: Jesus would not entrust Himself to the crowd's praise, and neither should we give ourselves to compliments or criticism — just stay the course.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 115 | Luke 10-20

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence move through the heart of Luke's Gospel, opening with a look at Luke himself — the Gentile physician, meticulous observer, and gifted writer whose care for the marginalized & for women runs through every chapter. The episode works through some of the most beloved parables in all of Scripture: the Good Samaritan, the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son — with the hosts drawing out the brilliant context of Luke 15, where the lost sheep and prodigal represent those outside the flock while the lost coin and the older brother represent those already inside the house who need to come home too. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin unpacks the Good Samaritan through the lens of Dr. Jim Halbert's observation that the priest and the Levite "stepped over ministry to get to ministry," connecting it directly to the work happening right outside our own front doors. The episode closes on the rich man and Lazarus, the great chasm, and a powerful meditation on Jesus as the only bridge — a reminder that the exclusivity of Christ is always paired with the inclusivity of His call.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 114 | Luke 1-9

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Gospel of Luke — the orderly, meticulously researched account written so that Theophilus might know the certainty of what he'd been taught — and work through the birth narratives, John the Baptist's ministry, the temptation in the wilderness, and Jesus' earliest ministry. The hosts build a stunning through-line around the glory of God: absent from the temple for roughly 600 years after Ezekiel watched it depart, and silent for 400 years after Malachi, the glory suddenly blazes over a field of forgotten shepherds — whose terror, the hosts note, was exactly the right response. A standout moment comes as they contrast Zechariah's doubting "how can I be sure of this?" with Mary's humble "how will this be?", and unpack the Magnificat as a revolutionary song so saturated with Old Testament scripture that it simply pours out of a young woman who had hidden the Word in her heart. Throughout it all, the episode celebrates the "slow burn" faithfulness of Zechariah, Elizabeth, Joseph, Mary, Simeon, and Anna — ordinary people who simply showed up every day and were ready when the glory returned.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 113 | Mark 11-16

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Gospel of Mark to a close, covering the triumphal entry, the cleansing of the temple, the Olivet Discourse, and the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. The hosts draw out an intricacy unique to Mark — that Jesus entered the temple courts, looked around at everything, and left for Bethany before returning the next day — making clear that the cleansing of the temple was never a reactionary outburst but a deliberate, premeditated, holy act. A standout moment comes as they unpack Mark 13's bookended command to "watch," challenging the modern church's tendency to get caught up in the frenzy of activity while losing the watchfulness Jesus called for, and reminding listeners that reading the news should not produce fear but discernment. The episode closes on one of the most tender details in all of Scripture — the angel's instruction to "go tell His disciples and Peter" — a deliberate word of welcome to the one man who believed he could never be redeemed.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 112 | Mark 1-10

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Gospel of Mark — the shortest of all four Gospels — and cover the first 10 chapters in a single episode, tracing Mark's signature theme of Jesus' authority: over demons, sickness, sin, the Sabbath, and even nature itself. The hosts highlight how Mark bookends the entire Gospel with the declaration of Jesus as the Son of God — from the opening verse to the centurion's confession at the cross — and land repeatedly on the thesis statement of Mark 10:45: 'the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many.' A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin unpacks Jesus' early-morning rhythm of solitary prayer in Mark 1, drawing out the difference between the "bursts" of ministry we all love and the quiet, daily discipline of prayer & scripture study that actually sustains them. Throughout it all, the hosts weave in the Syrophoenician woman's bold, persistent faith, the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, and Christ's radical redefinition of greatness as a descent rather than an ascent.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 111 | Matthew 20-28

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence journey through the final nine chapters of Matthew — from the parable of the workers in the vineyard, to the triumphal entry, the cleansing of the temple, the Olivet Discourse on the end times, and ultimately the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The hosts unpack the beautiful truth that it is never too late to come to Jesus, pairing it with Christ's radical redefinition of greatness — the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and greatness is found not in ascent but in descent. A standout moment comes as the hosts reflect on the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25, connecting "whatever you did for the least of these" directly to the daily work of Kingdom and The Source Foundation. The episode closes on the Great Commission and the striking detail that even as they worshiped the risen Christ, "some doubted" — a tender reminder that Jesus meets us and commissions us right in the middle of our doubt.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 110 | Matthew 13-19

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence work through Matthew 13–19, opening with the beloved Parable of the Sower and Rev. Spence's simple but profound wisdom on the sower's only job: "sow seed." The hosts dig especially into the rocky-soil hearer, drawing on Pastor Kevin's counseling background to unpack how a thin veneer of "I'm fine" often hides the rock beneath, and how real growth requires clearing away that falsehood to reach the truth underneath. From there, the episode moves through the parables of the kingdom, Peter walking on water, Peter's great confession at Caesarea Philippi and Jesus' first prediction of His death, the Transfiguration, and the rich young ruler — with a powerful thread on keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus and never worshiping the manifestation over the One whose glory is manifest. A standout moment comes as the hosts confront the prosperity gospel head-on through the rich young ruler, reminding listeners that wealth was never a measure of salvation, and that Jesus consistently welcomes the sinner, the outsider, and the overlooked.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 109 | Matthew 5-12

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence dig into the largest chunk of teaching Jesus ever delivered — the Sermon on the Mount — unpacking the Beatitudes, the call to be salt and light, and Jesus' repeated pattern of "you have heard it said... but I tell you," where He raises the Mosaic law to its true Edenic standard rather than abolishing it. The hosts trace that same standard of righteousness into Joseph's story from the previous episode, then move through Jesus calling His twelve disciples — including the unlikely and unpopular choice of Matthew the tax collector — before landing on Jesus' commissioning of the Twelve in chapter 10 and His piercing statement in chapter 12 that no sign will be given except the sign of the prophet Jonah. A standout moment comes as the hosts reflect on Jesus' tender response to a doubting John the Baptist from prison, with Pastor Kevin's memorable illustration comparing faith to trusting a bridge you've driven across countless times. Throughout it all, the episode is a rich reminder that following Jesus was never meant to be comfortable, entertainment-driven religion — it's a call to get out and do the work of the Great Commission.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 108 | Zechariah 12 - Matthew 4

    This episode closes out the entire Old Testament and opens the New — as Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence finish Zechariah's most explicitly messianic chapters, move through Malachi's forerunner prophecy of a coming Elijah, and then step into Matthew 1–4; where Jesus' genealogy, birth, and early ministry unfold. The hosts spend real time on Matthew's account of Jesus' family tree — including Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba — marveling that God chose to weave scandal and grace into the very bloodline of the Messiah, before tracing Joseph's quiet righteousness in protecting Mary & raising Jesus. A standout moment comes as the hosts unpack Jesus' wilderness temptation, connecting the devil's three-pronged attack to the same "lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, pride of life" pattern seen in Eden and named in 1 John. Today's installment is a joyful and momentous turning point — from the last words of the prophets to the very first words of the Gospel.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 107 | Zechariah 5-11

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence dig into the visionary second half of Zechariah's early chapters — the flying scroll, the woman in the basket representing wickedness, and the four chariots of judgment — before arriving at one of the most stunning, messianic prophecies in the entire Old Testament: Zechariah 9:9's declaration that Jerusalem's king would come "righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey." The hosts tack with this prophecy 500 years forward to Palm Sunday, contrasting the humble donkey Jesus rode into Jerusalem and reflect on how so many in that crowd were looking for Solomon's nationalistic glory rather than the Messiah's true kingdom. A standout moment comes as the hosts unpack chapter 11's sobering, shepherd parable — thirty pieces of silver, a broken covenant, and a picture of rejected love that points directly to Judas — reminding listeners that the Book of Zechariah is saturated with messianic prophecy from beginning to end. Today's installment closes with a call for the church to care for, seek, heal, and feed those who are hurting, just as the Good Shepherd does.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 106 | Zephaniah, Haggai & Zechariah 1-4

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence race through three minor prophets in one episode — opening with Zephaniah's sobering "day of the Lord" warnings that sweep from Judah to the surrounding nations before landing on the beautiful promise that a remnant always remains. Then, they move into Haggai's pointed rebuke of a returned community of exiles more focused on paneling their own houses than rebuilding God's temple. Additionally, the hosts unpack Haggai's repeated charge to "give careful thought to your ways," connecting it directly to the same misplaced priorities that plague believers today, before closing on Haggai's promise that the glory of the second temple would exceed the first — a prophecy that finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. A standout moment comes as the episode shifts into Zechariah, where the hosts unpack the striking image of Satan the accuser standing to condemn the high priest Joshua before God removes his filthy garments and clothes him in fine robes — a vivid picture of the gospel that Pastor Kevin traces directly to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Today's episode closes on the reminder that restoration always comes not by might nor by power, but by God's Spirit alone.

    The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 105 | Micah 4-7, Nahum & Habbakuk

    Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence pack three books into one episode, closing out Micah with its stunning vision of swords beaten into plowshares and the famous Bethlehem prophecy of Micah 5:2, before landing on one of the most quoted verses in the entire Bible — Micah 6:8's call to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. The hosts then move into the short but sobering Book of Nahum, which pronounces Nineveh's coming destruction roughly a century after Jonah preached repentance to the very same city, before closing on Habakkuk — a book the hosts describe as one of raw, honest wrestling, where the prophet questions God's silence in the face of injustice and receives the answer that would echo through Romans and Galatians. A standout moment comes as the hosts trace Habakkuk's closing declaration — rejoicing in God even when the fig tree fails to bud and the fields produce no food — as one of the clearest pictures in all of Scripture of a foundational, circumstance-proof joy. Throughout it all, this episode is a moving reminder that hope, mercy, and faith are the threads that tie even the darkest prophetic books together.
