The Bible in a Year

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence trace the Gospel's explosive outward push in Acts 9–19, from Saul's conversion on the Damascus road through Peter's vision at Simon the Tanner's house, the Jerusalem Council, and Paul's first & second missionary journeys. The hosts linger on Ananias — the man who heard "go to Saul of Tarsus" and still walked in saying "brother Saul" — and on the humor & humanity of Acts 12, where the praying church refuses to believe Peter is actually standing at the door. A standout thread runs through the whole episode: the absolute necessity of knowing the Word of God, with Pastor Kevin pointing to Stephen before the Sanhedrin, Jesus on the road to Emmaus, and Paul at the Areopagus as examples of people who knew Scripture inside & out. The episode also announces the podcast's plans for next year — a chronological journey through the whole Bible — and closes in Athens, where Paul insists Jesus is not one god among many, but the risen Lord of all.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Book of Acts, tracing the birth of the church from the ascension, the 10 days of prayer through Pentecost, Peter's first sermon, and the explosive growth that followed. The hosts unpack the tongues of Pentecost as a reversal of Babel — the confusion of language undone as the Gospel is proclaimed in every tongue gathered in Jerusalem — and lay out the five marks of the Acts 2 church: evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, worship, and prayer. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin draws a sharp distinction between the communalism of the early church, where believers gave freely because Christ alone was the head, and modern systems that demand redistribution while refusing to declare Jesus as Lord. The episode closes on Stephen's history-sweeping defense & martyrdom, and the scattering that followed — a reminder that what the enemy means for evil, God uses to carry the Gospel to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Gospel of John to a close, covering the upper room, the farewell discourse, the high priestly prayer, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. The hosts open with a striking observation about the foot washing — that at a U-shaped table, Judas occupied the position of honor beside Jesus, meaning the Savior washed His betrayer's feet no less thoroughly than John's. From there the episode moves through Jesus shwocasing how love is a verb rather than a noun, the promise of the Paraclete (the Holy Spirit), and John 17's prayer for unity — where Pastor Kevin issues a pointed challenge that every church and tradition genuinely declaring Jesus as Lord must stand together, because the world is watching. The episode closes on the beach in John 21, where Jesus meets a finally-honest Peter with "do you love me?" — and the beautiful reminder that the love of God is never a reservoir, always a river.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence work through the heart of John's Gospel, tracing the "I AM" statements that anchor the book — the bread of life, the light of the world, the good shepherd — and the stunning encounters that surround them. The episode opens with the Samaritan woman at the well, where the hosts unpack the cultural walls Jesus deliberately crossed and the moment she left her water pot behind to tell an entire city about the man who told her everything she ever did. A standout moment comes at the pool of Bethesda, where Pastor Kevin shares an insight that reframed the passage entirely: Jesus' warning to "stop sinning or something worse may happen" speaks to returning to a life of bondage once you've been set free. The episode closes on the raising of Lazarus, with the hosts lingering on the shortest verse in Scripture — Jesus wept — and the beautiful truth that Christ does not stand in victory calling us to find our own way out of grief; He steps into our grief with tears and walks us to the victory Himself.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Gospel of Luke to a close and step into the Gospel of John — covering Holy Week, the crucifixion, the resurrection, the road to Emmaus, and then one of the most theologically breathtaking prologues in all of Scripture. The hosts linger on Luke's distinctive eye for human detail: the disciples in Gethsemane found "exhausted from sorrow" rather than laziness, and the devastating moment in Luke 22 where the Lord turns and looks straight at Peter — not with an "I told you so," but with compassion and a calling to return and strengthen his brothers. From there the episode opens to John 1, where Pastor Kevin unpacks the Greek behind "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" — literally, the Word tabernacled among us — and walks through John's day-by-day account of the first week of Jesus' ministry. Today's installment closes on a lesson that has shaped Pastor Kevin's ministry: Jesus would not entrust Himself to the crowd's praise, and neither should we give ourselves to compliments or criticism — just stay the course.
