John 01 Round Two: Logos, Johnny B, and Sitting Under...

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/18

Start with wonder, not assumptions: John opens by taking us back before time, presenting Jesus as the Word who was with God and is God, the source of life whose light the darkness can’t extinguish. We share why this Gospel is our favorite to hand to new believers and curious skeptics alike, and we map the big picture—authorship, audience, Ephesus roots, and the driving purpose that you would believe and have life in His name. From there, we move through the prologue’s rich themes—Logos, crea...

Jonah 04: Let's Go to Work

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/17

Mercy that disrupts our comfort is hard to celebrate. When Nineveh repented and God relented, Jonah didn’t throw a party—he threw a fit. We unpack why a prophet who experienced rescue himself struggled to accept rescue for his enemies, and how a leafy plant, a hungry worm, and a scorching wind became God’s masterclass on compassion, priorities, and calling. We walk through the tension between justice and mercy, and why reframing “bad people” as “people in spiritual darkness” shifts us from o...

Jonah 03: The Unthinkable Happens

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/16

A prophet walks into his enemy’s capital, speaks a single stark warning, and watches an empire kneel. That’s the shock of Jonah 3—and the heartbeat of this conversation: simple obedience meets unthinkable mercy, and the result is a city changed from the throne to the livestock. We revisit Jonah’s second chance and why it matters for anyone who has ever run the other way. Then we step into Nineveh’s streets to hear the blunt message—“Forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown”—and watch the mo...

Jonah 02: Emergency Prayer Meeting

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/14

A storm rages, a prophet sinks, and a prayer rises from the dark. Jonah 2 isn’t a children’s tale about a big fish; it’s a field guide for the moments when our plans collapse and the only honest move left is to cry out. We open the text with fresh eyes—reading Jonah’s words as a trauma-marked memory that names consequences, clings to hope, and discovers that salvation doesn’t always arrive in tidy packaging. We talk through the gritty realism of the story—no staged heroics, no undersea loung...

Jonah 01: The Beauty of Salvation

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/13

A prophet runs, a storm rises, and mercy finds a way through the chaos. We open Jonah 1 not as a children’s tale about a big fish, but as a disruptive story about God’s grace colliding with our prejudices. Brandon sets the world of Jonah in sharp relief—Assyria’s notorious cruelty, Israel’s spiritual drift under Jeroboam II, and the scandal of being sent to preach to an enemy city. That context changes everything: Jonah’s flight isn’t just disobedience; it’s the logic of someone who knows God...

Luke 24 Round Two: The Return of the King

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/12

A stone rolled back before sunrise. A table where bread breaks and eyes open. A quiet room electrified by peace as scarred hands reach out and ask for fish. We close Luke’s Gospel at full stride—with resurrection that feels shockingly material, Scripture that suddenly makes sense, and a mission that still presses on us today. We walk through the empty tomb with the women who first carried the news, then pace the seven miles to Emmaus with two discouraged followers who find their hearts catch...

Luke 23 Round Two: Our King Reigns

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/11

A courtroom that won’t hold truth, a crowd that won’t sit still, and a king who refuses to save himself—Luke 23 brings history’s darkest hour into sharp focus. We walk scene by scene through the trial before Pilate and Herod, the crowd’s shocking choice of Barabbas, and the road to Golgotha, where Rome’s power meets a deeper plan. Along the way, we unpack why substitution sits at the heart of the gospel, how ancient Leviticus patterns echo through Passover, and what it means that two criminal...

Luke 22 Round Two: How to Fall Apart... And Not

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/10

Chaos can flood a room fast—especially when fear, pride, and pressure collide. We open Luke 22 and watch a community wobble: Judas bargains in secret, friends bicker over status, swords flash in the dark, and a rooster outs a disciple’s bravado. Through it all, Jesus stays steady—reframing Passover as a new covenant, redefining leadership as service, and choosing surrender over spectacle in Gethsemane. We walk scene by scene: the table where bread and cup become a living promise, the garden ...

Luke 21 Round Two: Jesus Gets Crazy

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/09

Two coins and an earthquake of meaning. That’s the surprising arc of Luke 21, where a quiet offering exposes the heart of worship and Jesus’ words pull back the curtain on history, hope, and how to stand when the ground moves. We start with the widow who gives “everything she has,” exploring why Jesus measures devotion by trust, not totals, and how generosity becomes an act of worship that shapes our allegiance in a world obsessed with spectacle. From there, we follow Jesus into hard truth: ...

Luke 20 Round Two: Jesus Can Shut a Fool Up

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/08

Power walks into a trap and trips over the truth. We open Luke 20 and move through a series of high-stakes confrontations where Jesus refuses to answer bad-faith questions on their terms and instead reframes reality around God’s kingdom. The leaders demand to know his authority; he points them back to John and exposes their evasions. Then he tells the parable of the tenant farmers, a sobering sweep of Israel’s resistance to God’s messengers and the murder of the beloved Son, anchoring it with...

Luke 19 Round Two: Jesus Gets Violent

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/07

Start with a tax collector in a tree and end with a city on the brink: Luke 19 shows how Jesus transforms people, challenges systems, and calls us to a quieter kind of courage. We walk from Jericho to Jerusalem tracing a pattern—mercy that makes restitution, stewardship that values faithfulness over performance, praise that stubbornly tells the truth, and worship that refuses to exploit those seeking God. Our journey begins with Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector who climbs above the crowd a...

Luke 18 Round Two: Jesus Knows Us

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/06

What if waiting wasn’t wasted but the exact place where faith grows roots? We open Luke 18 and follow a vivid path—from a widow who won’t quit, to a Pharisee and a tax collector whose prayers reveal their hearts, to children welcomed with open arms. Along the way, a wealthy ruler meets his roadblock, Jesus clears up the myth of buying your way into the kingdom, and we hear a passion prediction so clear it confronts our expectations of victory. We share why the story of the persistent widow i...

Luke 17 Round Two: Jesus Talks About the Future

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/05

What if the kingdom you’re searching for can’t be pointed at—but can be practiced right now? We open Luke 17 and follow a through-line that starts with forgiveness that outruns our feelings, moves into mustard-seed faith that obeys before it sees, and lands in a surprising picture of the kingdom that is already among us. Along the way, ten men with leprosy cry out for mercy, and only one returns in gratitude, turning healing into worship and proximity. That single pivot—from receiving a gift ...

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/04

A story about a “dishonest rascal” shouldn’t teach us about godly wisdom—yet Jesus turns that expectation on its head. We open Luke 16 and sit with two parables that won’t let us look at money, mercy, or eternity the same way again. First up is the shrewd manager: a man facing the end of his job who acts decisively to secure future welcome. Jesus doesn’t celebrate his wastefulness; He highlights his foresight. The lesson is bracing and practical—use worldly resources to love people, not impre...

Luke 15 Round Two: The Father Runs to Us

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/03

Grace isn’t tidy, and Luke 15 refuses to make it so. We open with Pharisees grumbling at Jesus’ table fellowship and watch him answer with three vivid stories—lost sheep, lost coin, and a runaway son—that dismantle our small views of God. With cultural insight from first-century life, we trace how a real shepherd safeguards the ninety-nine while pursuing the one, why a single silver coin could carry a woman’s identity and worth, and how a father’s sprint down a village road becomes a public s...

Luke 14 Round Two: The Cost of Being a Disciple

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/02

A crowded Pharisee’s house. Watchful eyes. A suffering man. That’s where Luke 14 begins—and where our assumptions about religion, status, and comfort start to unravel. We follow Jesus as he heals on the Sabbath, not to provoke but to restore the true meaning of rest: trusting God while letting mercy move toward real need. From there, the room’s quiet power games come into focus as people angle for honor. Jesus flips the script with a simple practice—choose the low seat—and then points the hos...

Luke 13 Round Two: Narrow Road

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/10/01

A narrow door that opens into a wide table—Luke 13 is full of contrasts that make spiritual life feel both urgent and deeply hopeful. We sit with hard headlines and local tragedies, then hear Jesus push past the blame game to a single call: repent, not because some are worse, but because all need mercy. From there, a barren fig tree introduces a Gardener who doesn’t give up quickly. He asks for one more year, promising care and cultivation. That’s the pulse of grace—patient and purposeful, ki...

Luke 12 Round 2: The Cure for What Plagues Our Souls

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/09/29

What would happen if we viewed Jesus as our soul's physician? In Luke 12, we discover a divine doctor offering precise prescriptions for our deepest spiritual ailments. The chapter unfolds as Jesus addresses various troubles that plague our hearts. First, He warns leaders about the contagious "yeast of the Pharisees" - hypocrisy that can infect our ministries when we forget our true purpose. He addresses the common fear many believers have about blaspheming the Holy Spirit, offering reassura...

Luke 11 Round 02: Jesus is Controversial

The Bible Breakdown: Daily Bible Reading ·

2025/09/28

Have you ever wondered if your prayers are truly effective, or if there's a "right way" to approach God? Luke chapter 11 offers profound insights that transform our understanding of prayer, spiritual authority, and authentic faith. Jesus begins by teaching His disciples a revolutionary prayer framework that emphasizes relationship over ritual. When they ask Him how to pray, He doesn't offer complicated formulas but starts with the intimate address of "Father." This simple beginning reframes ...
