Inquisitive Disciples

Inquisitive Disciples welcomes the woman who is struggling to reconcile her faith with the questions that arise when she reads her Bible. If we’re honest, growing in spiritual maturity sometimes means re-examining what we’ve always assumed or been taught the Bible says. But rest assured, I"m here to tell you, you don’t have to choose between intellectual honesty and faithfulness to Yahweh. I believe Yahweh, the ruler of the universe, is not threatened by our questions. On the contrary, He has given

On this episode of Coffee with Hales, we talk about what happens when the Bible doesn’t look as perfect as we thought, including how Scripture was copied, translated, transmitted, and preserved by humans. We discuss textual variants, what textual criticism is, and why differences between manuscripts (like spelling, word order, or even larger passages) don’t erase the Bible’s overall message. We also look at why the Gospels sometimes tell the same events differently, how authors wrote for different

3 Viral Bible Verses, 1 Hermeneutic Lens (Isaiah 6, Psalm 137, Mark 3) In this Coffee with Hales episode, I continue my series on how reading the Bible chronologically challenged my assumptions and pushed me toward sound hermeneutics—letting theology come from Scripture (exegesis) instead of reading my views into it (eisegesis). I review key terms (hermeneutics, Tanakh, Septuagint, exegesis/eisegesis) and then apply them to three examples: an ICE recruitment video using “Here am I, send me” (Isaiah

Hermeneutics: Why Context Matters (and How to Stop Taking Verses Out of Context) In today’s Coffee with Hales episode, I’m continuing my hermeneutics series by focusing on why context matters when interpreting and applying the Bible. I talk through different kinds of context—historical, cultural, author/audience, paragraph-level, and even grammatical—and why chapter and verse breaks aren’t divinely inspired. I use Galatians 3:28, Jeremiah 29:11, and Philippians 4:13 as examples of how verses get

I walk through Jesus turning water into wine as an honor/shame, hospitality-focused crisis at a week-long wedding,

I break down eisegesis (reading my assumptions into the text) versus exegesis (letting the text speak from its original context) and why hermeneutics should shape theology rather than the other way around. I also explore the Bible

Why do sincere Christians read the same Bible and come to different theological conclusions? In Part 2 of this series, we're exploring **hermeneutics**—the science and art of interpreting Scripture—and why it serves as the foundation for our theology. We'll walk through the history of biblical interpretation, discuss how different hermeneutical approaches shape doctrines like Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism, and look at how culture has influenced the way Christians have read the Bible

I talk about why the Bible isn’t about us but about Yahweh, and why remembering original audience, context, and literary genre matters more than treating verses like standalone quotes. I break down key terms like hermeneutics,

You Have A Glory Greater Than Moses?

Today we dive into Exodus 34:29–35, where Moses comes down Mount Sinai with his face shining from being with Yahweh and has to wear a veil, and then connect that story to Paul’s use of the veil in 2 Corinthians 3. We look at how the old covenant—written on stone and marked by condemnation and death—still carried real glory, but was temporary and fading, while the new covenant is written on human hearts by the Spirit and brings lasting, surpassing glory and freedom. We also touch on how the veil

Responding to Jonathan Cahn: Blessing Israel, Prosperity Gospel, and Genesis 12.In this casual voice-recorded episode of Coffee with Hales, I respond off the cuff to a Jonathan Cahn sermon about Israel, replacement theology, and end-times claims. I critique what I see as a manipulative “prosperity Israel promise,” where financial support for Israel is presented as a way to receive financial blessing, and refusal is framed as bringing a curse. I question what Scripture he’s using and examine Genesis

I explain how the laws set Israel apart, often protected vulnerable people, and ultimately pointed forward to Jesus. Using passages from Matthew, Deuteronomy, Jeremiah, and Hebrews, I argue that

Manna, Trials, and Resting in Faith (Exodus 16) | Coffee With Hales In this episode of Coffee With Hales, I walk through Exodus 16 and the story of manna—God “raining bread from heaven” after freeing Israel from slavery—showing how their daily gathering was a test of trust and dependence. I highlight the contrast between earlier “rains” of judgment and this rain of provision, and how disobedience (hoarding or saving manna overnight) revealed a struggle to rely on Yahweh day by day. I connect manna
