104 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 18 ratingsIf you've spent any time reading the Bible or examining what it's about, you know it can sometimes be difficult to grasp. At times, we gloss over seemingly foreign sections because, let's face it, the Bible can be confusing. At the Not So Secret Bible Podcast, we don't believe the Bible is meant to be an encrypted manual on how to live our lives; we believe it is for everyone, and accessible to anyone who reads it.

Romans 5:1-21 Justification as Reconciliation through the Cross/Free from Sin, Under Grace
October 13, 2021 01:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MBAs we enter chapter 5, we enter into a new phase of Paul's theological exposition to the Roman church. After explaining the plight of humanity and our need for God to make us righteous through faith in him who was raised from the dead--Jesus Christ--Paul now turns to explore the meaning of justification. While this section has traditionally been interpreted as the progression of a believer through different stages, it can perhaps be better understood as descriptive of the nature of justifica...
Romans 4:1-25 Example of Abraham
October 05, 2021 02:00 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MB"For what shall we say about Abraham...?" Abraham, found in the narrative of the book of Genesis, was venerated by the first-century Jews as their "father". Why then, does Paul claim that, "the promise to Abraham and his offspring [was] that he would be heir of the world"? Paul himself could be considered to have revered Abraham, not only for his piety, but primarily for his response to God when the LORD had made himself known: "Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteou...

Romans 3:9-20 Humanity under the Power of Sin
September 29, 2021 21:00 - 31 minutes - 21.3 MB"None is righteous, no, not one". If you've ever heard a presentation of "the gospel" you have probably heard these words. Paul, creative and gifted as he is, does not draw these words out of thin air. Rather, he pieces together a string of Old Testament references to assert that humans cannot be justified by their works alone. While this is true for both Jews and Gentiles, it appears the former is the target of Paul's argument. In so doing, Paul shows how all of the Scriptures--what we know...
Romans 2:17-3:8 The Jewish Predicament
September 24, 2021 05:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBIf humans in general are under the wrath of God, are the Jews exempt from this based on their possession of the law? Two schools of thought come into conflict here. The first is the Jewish conviction that their corporate election, plus their sincere intention to obey the law, sufficed for salvation. The second school of thought suggests that a saving relationship with God comes, as it did for Abraham, through human response to God's grace expressed in his promise and not through the Mosaic c...
Romans 2:1-16 God's Impartial Judgment According to Deeds
September 21, 2021 05:00 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MBToday, we journey further into Paul's exposition of the problem of man. He turns from all of humanity who turn from God--and thus God hands them over to their sin--to the hypocrite who judges them, presuming upon God's patience and kindness, so that they can continue in their sin unjustly. But God is not taken advantage of in this scenario, for he judges impartially according to works. Paul props up a hypothetical situation to illustrate this point. People who do good gain eternal life. Peop...
Romans: The Apostle Paul
September 14, 2021 05:00 - 42 minutes - 29.1 MBWelcome to Season 4 of Not So Secret Bible, where we'll be studying the context and content of the book of Romans. As the Gospel narratives bleed into the Acts narrative, we're introduced to an individual named Saul of Tarsus. Saul enters the story as a Pharisee, a Jew, a Roman citizen, and a man zealous for the God of Israel's will to be done in the tradition of his people. He's portrayed as a persecutor of the Jesus-movement, approving of the killing of Christians, and planning to arrest m...
Romans 1:1-17 The Gospel
September 14, 2021 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MBWhat is "the gospel"? It's a word that saturates the Christian world. We use it to describe a message, a story, music, and truth. But what did it mean to Paul's audience--a people living under the rule and influence of the Roman emperor--and what did it mean to Paul? Paul starts his letter right here: with the gospel, the euangelion, or the good news. He explains what the gospel is, what it does, and only then does he describe in depth the theology behind this, and how it applies to the Roma...
The Context of Romans
September 14, 2021 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBIt's one of our favorite things to say about the Bible: "The bible was written for us; but it wasn't written to us." The writings of the Bible came from contexts, contexts that were not our own. In the last episode, we explored the life and ministry of the author of the letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul. Now, we'll take a look at the letter itself, asking questions about its basic composition and purpose. Investigating these contexts leads us to fascinating revelations about the specifi...
Romans 1:18-32 The Human Predicament
September 14, 2021 05:00 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MBPaul takes a sharp turn from his brief explanation of the nature of the gospel to begin explaining why humanity needs it. Humans find themselves in a predicament. They are unrighteous, putting aside God's will, rule, and blessing for a path of their own choosing, a path of destruction. This problem isn't a new problem. It tracks back to the very first humans. Humans have, as Paul describes, made three exchanges, and these exchanges illicit divine responses. As we study the end of chapter 1, ...

Joshua 13:15-33 Reuben, Gad, Half-Tribe of Manasseh
February 25, 2021 06:00 - 28 minutes - 19.8 MBJoshua begins to allot the land to the Israelite tribes.
