One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love. I’d love for you to meet Jordan Shouse. Jordan is a father of four, a preacher in the Dallas Fort-Worth area, and one of the kindest men you will ever meet. He has a heart for people, and an empathetic nature that has only been honed by the journey God has taken him on.
Jordan very kindly offered to talk with me on the record about his harrowing health journey and the impact it had on his faith, his family, his preaching, and his connection with others going through their own health trials. I wasn’t sure whether he would want to talk about it publicly like this, but unsurprisingly, Jordan is an open book.
I entitled this conversation, ‘A Tale of Two Statues’ and as you listen, I think you will understand why.

One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love. I’d like you to meet Steve Wilkes. Steve Wilkes is a husband, father, Christian, and drug and alcohol counselor. Steve and I talked about addiction in its many forms through a biblical lens.
For those listening with children’s ears nearby, we never talk about anything in a graphic way, but the words ‘pornography’ and ‘suicide’ do show up a couple of times.
We talk about chemical dependency, behavioral addictions, and Steve’s own road to restoration with the Lord. It turns out that recovery from addiction is more than just a body issue – it’s a soul issue, too. I believe this issue is worthy of our time and attention because, as always, the Bible has answers. Whether you are battling addiction yourself, struggling with the impact of a loved one’s addiction, or simply want to learn how to be better prepared to love your neighbor as yourself –Steve provides practical tools to combat the idol of addiction.
If you would like further information about recovery from drug addiction or substance abuse recovery, feel free to contact me at scott@biblegrad.com, and I will happily connect you with Steve.

Did you hear the news? April 18, 1930 was an important news day!
Today, we will take a look at news, silence, and how to calm your soul.
If you are a regular listener, thank you for your patience during my radio silence these last two weeks. Between traveling to Harrisburg, PA to be with the Capital City Christians to a couple of difficult funerals for our family here at Eastland, the podcast needed to take a backseat for a minute.
The good news is that both the funerals were for Christians and I hope to see them again someday. It is true what Paul said, “we grieve, but not as those who have no hope.”
Thank you for listening, and if you have a chance to subscribe or review the podcast, I’m always grateful. If I can help you with anything you can email me your questions and requests to scott@biblegrad.com and if you are in the Louisville, KY area, I would love to see you this Sunday at the Eastland church. If you want more information about the work I'm doing at Eastland, visit us at eastlandchristians.org or my personal Bible site, Biblegrad.com, where you can sign up for daily Bible devotionals called Biblebites and receive them in your email each morning, take online Bible classes, or find videos that will help you study through the Bible throughout the year.

A ball of yarn, a warning against minotaurs, and a fashionable reminder. Today, we look at the failings of the heart.
Today is the last installment of our series on learning to love God (and our neighbor) with all our heart. Every time that Jesus mentions the greatest commandment, He begins by telling us to love with our whole heart. The heart is the seat of our emotions, it is where they reside, it is the part of us that we feel with – from fear to courage to anger to joy to sorrow to discouragement to resentment to gratitude. If you can feel it, it is your heart that makes that possible.
Starting next week, I’m going to step away from podcasting for a couple of weeks to focus on some other pressing projects, but I’ll be back in April with a brand new series with a focus on learning to love God with all your soul.

In every account of the gospels, the command to love always begins with the heart… and today I’d like to introduce an audience I love to a friend I love… a friend that is an expert on heart-to-heart communication.
I’d like you to meet Kenny Embry. He runs the Balancing the Christian Life podcast, which is absolutely excellent (https://www.balancingthechristianlife.com/),but more importantly for our purposes today, Kenny is a communications professor for St. Leo's University. Dr. Embry is a bona fide expert on how to effectively communicate ideas and why that doesn’t always happen.
As we talk about loving from the heart, I think communication is, by and large, a heart issue. Or, maybe another way to put that is, when we miscommunicate, we tend to miss each other's heart. I thought I'd talk to Kenny and see if I had gotten anywhere near the right mark with that hypothesis. Kenny’s insights were useful for me, and I suspect they will be the same for you.

"Remember, you are loved, so go, love better!"
Is love really free? Today, we break down the myth of free love and talk about the cost of love.
We'll talk about the origin of the free love movement, the power of a hulking hero, and the dangerous cost of becoming weak in the knees for love.
"Remember, you are loved, so go, love better!"
This is episode zero. We have to talk about WHY to love better before we talk about HOW to. Think of this episode as a teaser for what is to come.
We'll talk about Tina Turner, the paradox of love, and the reason you can't live without it, but often hate that you need it.
Love is complicated, but so is life.
God makes it easier.
