The Way BK: Recent Episodes

The Way BK

The Way BK is Brooklyn, NY-based podcast dedicated to addressing contemporary concerns with the unique truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

View Details

The Scripture that says Jesus had to be made perfect, that there was a time when something was missing. How did he become perfect? What does his perfecting mean for us?

View Details

Romans 12:1-2 lays out an important template for understanding the Christian life — a life completely transformed by the mercies of the Gospel of Christ.

View Details

Humility, self-giving, service: these are the qualities of Jesus that made him victorious over sin and death. Those who want to follow him must adopt the same mind and spirit in order to walk his victorious path.

View Details

In Matthew 5:38-48 Jesus issues arguably his most challenging set of commandments. Living under Jesus’ kingdom rule means living a life of enduring many and various injustices. Following Jesus isn’t fair.

View Details

“Take up the cross” means making real-life changes and sacrifices. That’s what it takes if you want to follow Jesus.

View Details

God has a direction in mind for his people. Those who lead God’s people well are those who know where God wants us to go and helps his people get there.

View Details

There is quite a lot of cultural discussion of what manhood really is. David\’s last words outlines the fundamentals that should define a man.

View Details

2 Samuel 24 encapsulates the entire spectrum of the life of David — sin and weakness, deep faith and love. More importantly than that, this story sums up the Gospel of David\’s descendant and the response of those who wish to reign with him.

View Details

What do you do to move on after you face the consequences of your sins? The last days of David give us hope and direction.

View Details

We are rightly horrified as we watch David\’s great sin against Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11. We would do well to pay careful attention to this story so that we can avoid similar falls ourselves.

View Details

Of all the glorious characteristics of God\’s nature, none outshines the goodness of his lovingkindness.

View Details

Jesus\’ teaching on speech in the Sermon on the Mount tells us at least one absolutely pivotal truth: God really cares about how his people speak.

View Details

If you want to follow Jesus, everything has to change. And that change starts with the attitudes and mentalities that Jesus calls us to adopt.

View Details

Jesus often challenged his followers to examine themselves with one crucial question: Do you understand?

View Details

Jesus was rejected for the good he did and those who follow him will face the same treatment. Instead of giving up or attacking those who attacked him, Jesus overcame by persisting in doing good. Those who follow him must do the same.

View Details

Mark 5 tells us one of the most important truths anyone could ever know about Jesus: Yes, he cares.

View Details

The Gospel of Christ is not a fairy tale, it’s as real and true as the very Bread and Cup that God has given us to commemorate it.

View Details

There is no subject matter that is more challenging, fundamental, or necessary than what Jesus taught on forgiveness.

View Details

God’s will for marriage and divorce is clear, but we sinful humans have a tendency to complicate straightforward truth. We need to take time and effort to have a clear understanding of what God has said about various questions about divorce and remarriage.

View Details

God expects his people to be givers, sacrificial givers, givers of themselves to him, givers to others in need.

View Details

Jesus’s last night with his disciples introduced a new life through him.

View Details

In the Song of Songs God gives wisdom for how to become one flesh in marriage, to be what God intended from the beginning.

View Details

God honored the heart behind David’s plan to build him a house, but it wasn’t for David to do. God had other plans in mind for the house that needed to be built.

View Details

When God sent his prophets to sinful man, he promised wrath for those who continue in rebellion. If we forget the reality that our God is indeed full of wrath against sin, we will be destroyed.

View Details

The Scribes and Pharisees opposed Jesus at every turn. He kept doing what was right in his Father’s eyes for the good of the people.

View Details

The Lord’s Supper is at once intensely personal and completely communal.

View Details

It can be tough out here on the dating scene. God doesn’t exactly give us a manual for dating, but the first chapters of Song of Songs provides us with wisdom to guide our mindset and approach to the pursuit of marriage.

View Details

All that Jesus did and taught was to bring salvation and healing for sin-sick sinners.

View Details

David learned some hard lessons when he brought the Ark to Jerusalem. That doesn’t surprise us though; the presence of God is nothing to be toyed with and must be sought in the way he has prescribed in his word.

View Details

Whether by calling fishermen to follow him or reaching out to the leper with a healing touch, Jesus came as the ultimate change agent the world has ever known.

View Details

In the book of Hosea we are presented with a shocking, scandalizing, saving vision of the love of God.

View Details

Jesus was extremely clear on the matter of divorce. His prohibitive standard compels those who follow him to remain true to their spouses, and it points us to the essence and significance of marriage.

View Details

“The Beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ” shows us a king unlike any worldly king who rules over an other-worldly kingdom.

View Details

God’s people must do good deeds. In order to do good in a world filled with violence and selfishness, kindness must rule.

View Details

3 young Hebrews in Babylon show us how to live by faith regardless of what trials we might face.

View Details

Human beings are dead in sin all the way down to the heart. God’s solution is to bring life back out of death, to give a new heart.

View Details

A central element to David’s living with a heart after God’s was that he made decisions based upon principle. If we want to please God and “do all his will”, then we need to learn to do the same.

View Details

We live in a world of shepherds who fail those who follow them. Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd we’ve been waiting for.

View Details

YHWH is a different sort of God. He cares for those that the rest of the world ignores or abuses. He is the God of Justice.

View Details

Of all the things in this world we could trust and derive our true self from, Christ is the only one worth turning to.

View Details

To think like Jesus in relation to sexuality is a revolutionary choice in this world. But it’s a revolution that is desperately needed.

View Details

There was a time when David nearly made one of the biggest mistakes of his life. Fortunately, God sent someone to rescue him. But she wasn’t who anyone probably would have expected. It makes you think: am I seeing the wise, but unlikely, counselors around me?

View Details

You really shouldn’t do anything important without getting some perspective and guidance from someone who knows better than you. David understood this principle and made sure that he stayed in constant contact with God so that he would stay true to God’s will.

View Details

Trouble is going to come to each of us. The variable that decides the course of our lives is how we handle it. In David’s life we see the good and the bad and he calls on us to learn from him so that we can choose the better path.

View Details

No, their love was something that far surpassed mere romance or sexual desire. They were friends.

View Details

David’s victory over Goliath isn’t a myth nor is it merely an inspirational story for the little guys of the world. It’s a template for how God and godly people defeat the evils of the world.

View Details

David wasn’t exalted because he never made any mistakes nor because of any intrinsic greatness he possessed by any worldly metrics. David embodies the word of the Lord, “He who humbles himself will be exalted.” We would do well to learn the greatness of humility sooner rather than later.

View Details

In the Bible story, David, the shepherd-boy-turned-king, is a crucial character in setting the stage for Jesus Christ and faith in his name. There are a number of reasons that David’s story is an unlikely fulcrum. What made him so special to God?

View Details

Nothing about the Spirit of Christ lines up with the values of the world. This is arguably most obvious when it comes to the meekness and lowliness of Christ.

View Details

God’s goal in the Gospel of Christ? — something way better than you probably would have ever imagined.

View Details

Psalm 27 teaches us how to think more rightly about God in prayer, recognizing his greatness and increasing our commitment to him.

View Details

“Train up a child in the way he should go. When he is old he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22.6

View Details

“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” (Hebrews 13.2)

View Details

The book of Hebrews exhorts us to be loyal to Jesus over all because Jesus is better than all.

View Details

Paul’s letters to Timothy and Titus contain five “trustworthy statements” that not only sum up some of the critical messages of those letters but of the entirety of Christian belief. In the midst of the unreliability of the world, these statements give God’s people something to stand on.

View Details

Christians are commanded to gather for worship to encourage one another in their faith (Hebrews 10.19-25). God has designed those worship activities to be effective. The task of saints is to understand and follow the instructions he has given.

View Details

Those that believe in the glory of God’s faithfulness must themselves become faithful to him and like him.

View Details

“The grace of God has appeared” (Titus 2.11) so that those who receive it can see everything in a brand new light.

View Details

If you want grace from God, you have to learn to humble yourself under God.

View Details

God isn’t just for old people.

View Details

What is “good”? 

View Details

Though life can be difficult and seem like a wilderness of trouble, contentment is an essential discipline.

View Details

Kindness is unassuming, yet it is core to the life of the person living by the Spirit of God.

View Details

The commands that God issues and the experiences he leads his children through are not an act of un-love. His discipline is his love.

View Details

It isn’t the mighty and most noble that do the great things of God. It is those that quietly serve sometimes without being noticed or known by anyone but God himself.

View Details

Every group of people requires leadership. The trick for God’s people is to lead and be led in the way he prescribes rather than the way the world would suggest.

View Details

God wants his saints to operate together as local bodies, not as independent actors in the world. It is essential that God’s people learn how he wants his churches to work together.

View Details

God’s election of his people is a key theme in Romans. The truth of this doctrine is a source of real beauty and motivation when properly understood.

View Details

Romans 10.9-10 is a crucial passage to teach how to be saved from sin. These verses contain a beautiful promise of the salvation that God promises. But it doesn’t mean what people often say it does. 

View Details

There are many sufferings in the world and temptations to the flesh for anger. People filled with God’s Spirit keep suffering long like the Lord himself, patiently enduring trials and troubles.

View Details

In the book of Romans, Paul speaks passionately about the mission that God gave to him and to all saints. What we learn here should restructure the lives of all who follow Jesus and grants a higher purpose than anything we could find in this world.

View Details

Churches gather together for many purposes and activities (or, these days maybe they don’t). Why does God want his people to come together. Psalm 95 shows us the way.

View Details

They call it “The Golden Text” for a reason.

View Details

In the world there is only trouble; in Christ there is perfect peace.

View Details

Worldview is what really sets apart the people that follow Jesus. Paul’s preaching in Corinth (recorded in his written reminders to the church in Corinth) was a shockingly new perspective for the people in that time and place. This new worldview still stands in sharp contrast to the world’s ideas today.

View Details

But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Tim. 6:11-12,ESV)

View Details

Marriage in Christ is much different than what the world (and often even God’s people) thinks.

View Details

As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. 21 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality. 22 Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor take […]

You aren’t a fool for not having all wisdom. You’re only a fool if you don’t seek the wisdom that you don’t yet have.

Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, and to the younger men as brothers, 2 to the older women as mothers, and to the younger women as sisters, in all purity. (1 Tim. 5:1-2, NASB)

There is a unique path to joy offered by Jesus Christ. You don’t have to keep up the endless and empty chase for joy anywhere else.

Pay close attention to yourself and to the teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. (1 Tim. 4:16, NASB)

Paul’s imprisonment could be seen as a tragedy for the progress of the Kingdom. Instead, as we open up the “Prison Epistles” (Ephesians-Philemon), we find a man who is joyful and alive because of his relationship with God through Christ regardless of his circumstances.

How can we make sure that we are walking in line with the Spirit of God? And what does the Spirit mean to bring about in our lives? Fortunately, the Scriptures tell us all about it if we’re willing to hear!

Paul gave a number of instructions to his understudy Timothy as he worked in Ephesus. We can learn a lot from this letter when we understand the context and purpose behind it and then carefully examine the instructions.

Humanity dreams of a world of justice and peace, but when the dream is pursued apart from righteousness with God it becomes a nightmare. Christ offers us something better than a worldly dream, he offers hope.

As the Kingdom expanded it confirmed a crucial truth that is often lost today: The Gospel is not a byproduct of any Human culture nor does it give special favors to any culture.
