Consider This

In this episode, Justin Ebert sits down with Drew Moss and Rachel Ritchie to reflect on Exodus 24-40 and John 18-21. They discuss John’s account of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, asking how we can keep from becoming numb to the cross. They explore the rich connections between John’s passion narrative and Exodus. Finally, they examine key moments in Exodus involving the tabernacle, Sabbath, and golden calf, asking what these chapters teach us about God’s character, His desire to dwell with His people, and what that means for the church today.

In this episode, Justin Ebert sits down with Jim Johnson and Ryan Vincent to explore major questions emerging from Exodus 6–23 and John 13–17. Together they examine what it actually means to love Jesus and how faith, grace, and obedience relate, wrestle with the purpose and ongoing relevance of the Old Testament Law, and consider why some people read the same Bible and walk away with radically different views of God.

In this episode, Justin Ebert sits down with Ryan Vincent and Drew Moss to explore the rich and complicated questions rising from Genesis 35–50, Exodus 1–5, and John 9–12. How do we discern whether dreams are from God or just our brains firing at night? Why does Jesus weep if his plan was always to raise Lazarus from the dead? What did the patriarchs actually believe about death and the afterlife? And why do miracles in Scripture so often fail to produce genuine faith? Along the way, the conversation touches on God’s purpose in delayed rescue, the mystery of sovereignty and responsibility in the stories of Joseph, Pharaoh, and Judas, and favorite moments from this week’s reading.

In this episode, Justin Ebert sits down with Jim Johnson and Drew Moss to discuss some of the big questions emerging from Genesis 15-34 and John 5-8. How do faith, grace, and obedience actually relate to one another? What do we do with the morally messy stories in Genesis - are they mean to prescribe behavior or simply describe human brokenness? How do we make sense of god "appearing" to people when the New Testament says no one has seen God? And what is Jesus really claiming when he says provocative things like "Eat my flesh" and "Before Abraham was, I am"?

In this episode, Justin Ebert sits down with Ryan Vincent to discuss John 1-4. They discussed the importance of John’s introduction and connecting Jesus with the triune God. They also take time to discuss how the character of Jesus doesn’t always line up with the caricature that modern people use to describe him. They also discuss whether or not Christians can partake in things like alcohol. Additional Resources https://bibleproject.com/guides/book-of-john/ htttp://sunnybrookcc.org/bible

In this episode, Justin Ebert sits down with Ryan Vincent and Drew Moss to discuss some of the big questions from Genesis 3-11. Are we reading into the text by seeing the Trinity in Genesis? Did God really flood the whole world? Was God just being mean or gracious by destroying those people? Who are the Nephilim? And what does the tower of Babel have to do with the rest of the Bible?

Justin sits down with Drew and Ryan for an honest, practical conversation about reading the whole Bible—especially for those who have never done it or don’t even like reading. They share when they first made it through all of Scripture, and the early questions and “problem passages” that rattled them. From there, they explore why Christians should read the Bible at all, why it matters to read it together in 2026, and why we think every believer—not just pastors—should be engaging the text for themselves, even while acknowledging the real dangers and the need for training and community.
