So We Speak

Jesus in Joshua

The book of Joshua serves as a hinge point in the Old Testament. It is the end of the long journey out of Egypt and the beginning of life in the land. Even the name points to Jesus, which is the Greek way to say Joshua. The whole book points to the ministry of Jesus - and may even contain an appearance of Jesus in the opening chapters. 

Jesus in Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy is a cornerstone of the Old Testament. It is the theology and history of Israel, and was widely revered and studied in the time of Jesus. In fact, Jesus quotes from this book as much as any other during his life. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of passages that point to Jesus in Deuteronomy as well. From the example of Moses to the curse placed on everyone hanged on a tree, this book shows us Jesus and helps us understand his life, death, and resurrection. 

Life after Roe with David Closson

The overturning of Roe v. Wade marks one of the biggest moments of our lifetimes. For 50 years, abortion was protected by the Supreme Court, but in the Dobbs decision in 2022, the court overturned Roe, allowing states to protect life by restricting abortion. What can Christians do now? How should we continue to treasure and preserve life? How can we live biblically in the world after Roe v. Wade? 

David Closson joins the podcast to discuss his new book Life After Roe: Equipping Christians in the Fight for Life Today. Check out this new book and follow David's work at the Family Research Council. 

Jesus in Numbers

Despite the name, Numbers is one of the most intriguing books in the Old Testament. The Israelites get right up to the edge of the Promised Land before they tragically doubt God's promises and return to the desert for 40 years. In the desert, God teaches them to walk with him and trust him. Along the way, we get some important glimpses of Jesus that resurface across the New Testament. 

Jesus in Leviticus

Leviticus gets a bad rap. The sacrifices and priestly rules don't always make for lively reading. But don't take that as a sign that it's not important. When you see Jesus through the lens of Leviticus, his life, death, and resurrection take on new meaning and significance. 

Jesus in Exodus

The Exodus is the ultimate pattern of salvation in the Bible. God tells Exodus stories over and over again. But that's not all in this book. God also shows us the importance of a sacrifice in the Passover and the power of his presence in the Tabernacle. Exodus is full of themes that point to Jesus. 

Jesus in Genesis

It doesn't take long to see a glimpse of Jesus in the opening of the Bible. When sin entered the world, God didn't go to his backup plan; he promised to send his Son to bring his people back. All through Genesis, God is setting the stage for the coming of Christ far in the future. 

Jesus in All the Bible

After his resurrection, Jesus walked with two other from Jerusalem to Emmaus and "starting with Moses and the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." (Luke 24:27). What did he say to them that day? How can we see those same things?

In this new series, Cole and Terry will discuss finding Jesus in each book of the Old Testament. Look for the first episode this Friday. 

Can We Trust the Bible? Revelation

We saved the best for last. The book of Revelation says it is written by John. But the question is: which John? Cole and Terry discuss the background and authorship of Revelation to conclude this series on the authors of the New Testament. 

Can We Trust the Bible? Peter, John, James, and Jude

Paul's letters are disputed, but so are the other letters in the New Testament, called the general epistles. These letters, written from leaders in the Jerusalem church, Peter, John, James, and Jude, have varying backgrounds and histories. Some of them have never been doubted. One is the most controversial of all the letters in the New Testament.
