• heykal ◦ temple

    The temple was not just a place where people worshiped. The temple was actually modeled after a garden–the first place where God’s presence caused heaven and earth to overlap.

  • ezer ◦ helper

    When we think of a helper, we tend to think of an assistant or servant, but that’s not true of the biblical word. The word ezer didn’t mean a menial servant, but an ally in war.

  • shalom ◦ peace

    We all want peace, but our English idea is just a glimpse of the Hebrew word shalom. And true shalom, in its fullest expression, is the kingdom of heaven.

  • ap ◦ anger

    When we imagine God being angry, we usually picture him smiting someone with lightning. But when God is angry, he doesn’t do what we might expect—he gives us what we want.

  • eved ◦ slave

    There are few things that can make us more uncomfortable than how the Bible talks about Slavery. But what if it is saying something completely different than we ever imagined?

  • rakhum ◦ compassion

    If you tell your friend they’re gutsy, you mean they’re brave or reckless, but in Hebrew it would mean they’re compassionate. So what do guts have to do with compassion?

  • goim ◦ nations

    The idea of the nations is not just a side conversation of biblical text—it's actually one of the most important subjects. But what if the Hebrew word “nation” didn’t mean what we mean?

  • idolatry

    The concept of idolatry can seem ancient and bizarre, especially in biblical literature. Yet idol practices were far more prevalent and disturbing than we often realize, and more relatable than we would like to think.

  • hesed ◦ lovingkindness

    Love means more than liking something, and actually more than feeling something profound. Biblical love did not actually have to do with feelings, enjoyment, or fulfillment, but so much more.

  • bible words trailer

    If you’ve ever tried to read straight through the Bible, it doesn’t take long to become confused, offended, or bored. It’s easy to pick up a Bible and assume it should be easy to read.

    Some people, understandably, become discouraged and may even give up engaging the Bible directly, or else they may begin to treat it more as a magic eight ball, asking “What does this mean to me?”, rather than trying to understand the Bible on its own terms.”

    If you’re as eager as we are to have your mistaken assumptions challenged, come learn with us. First episodes drop 6.1.22.
