The Biblical Roots Podcast
This is a Bible-based, Christ-focused theology and apologetics podcast hosted by Professor R. L. Solberg. We talk theology and apologetics, test the claims of questionable teachers, and offer a range of Bible teachings, including verse-by-verse Bible studies.
The Biblical Roots Ministries is all about helping believers stay grounded in the truth of Scripture. Founded by Professor R. L. Solberg, our Christ-centered ministry is dedicated to creating faithful, Bible-based content that deepens your understanding of God’s Word and equips you to discern false teachings. We do this in two ways:
1. Dismantling false teachings – We take a systematic approach to breaking down ideas that challenge the sufficiency of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5), clearing away myths and misconceptions so believers can stand firm in the truth.
2. Building biblical literacy – Through Bible studies and teachings on biblical theology, interpretation (hermeneutics), and Bible history, we help believers dive deeper into Scripture and better understand it in its proper context.

Disproving Hebrew Roots: A Study of Colossians 2:16-17
In this Bible study, we take a close look at Colossians 2:16–17—one of the most misunderstood passages among Hebrew Roots teachers. Paul’s words about festivals, new moons, Sabbaths, and the “shadow vs. substance” point us straight to the sufficiency of Christ and the freedom of the New Covenant.
If you’ve been confused by Torah-keeping claims or you’re trying to help a friend caught in Hebrew Roots theology, this walkthrough of Colossians 2 will give you the clarity and biblical grounding you need.
