In this episode of the Bible Tidbits Podcast, we continue our study through Habakkuk by exploring Habakkuk 2:6–20, where God pronounces a series of woes against Babylon. These warnings reveal that greed, violence, exploitation, and idolatry may seem powerful for a time, but they will ultimately face God’s judgment. In the middle of these declarations comes a powerful reminder that history is not ultimately about empires, but about the glory of the Lord filling the earth. This passage reassures us that God sees injustice, that pride will fall, and that the Lord still reigns from His holy temple.

God answers Habakkuk’s cry, but His response is not what the prophet expected. In Habakkuk 1:5–11, the Lord reveals that He has been at work all along, raising up the Babylonians as an instrument of judgment. This unsettling answer stretches Habakkuk’s faith and forces him to wrestle with God’s sovereignty, justice, and surprising methods. The passage reminds us that God is never idle, even when His ways are difficult to understand, and calls us to trust His character when His plans go beyond our perspective.

In this opening episode, we begin a journey through the Book of Habakkuk, one of Scripture’s most honest and searching books. Habakkuk invites us into a conversation between a struggling prophet and a sovereign God—a conversation shaped by hard questions about injustice, God’s silence, and the apparent success of the wicked. This episode sets the stage for the whole series, exploring the book’s central themes of God’s justice, sovereignty, and the call to live by faith when answers are unclear. Habakkuk shows us that faithful trust does not mean having everything explained, but learning to rest in God’s character even when life doesn’t make sense.

Welcome to the first episode of the Bible Tidbits Podcast study of Mark! In this episode, we kick off our journey through the Gospel of Mark, a fast-paced, action-packed account of Jesus Christ, the Suffering Servant.
Learn about the author, John Mark, and his redemption story, the unique features of this gospel, and its central theme, beautifully captured in Mark 10:45: “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
We also outline the structure of Mark’s Gospel and reflect on Mark’s close relationship with the apostle Peter, giving us an eyewitness perspective of Jesus’ ministry. As we prepare to dive deeper into this gospel, discover the questions you should ask to gain fresh insights into God’s Word.
