PV Bible Alive
This podcast will take you on a journey through the Bible. It takes the Scriptures, beginning in Genesis, explains what they meant when they were written, and what they mean to you today. In the end, we hope you discover what the Bible says about itself; that it is "sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit....and is a discern-er of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

Jesus said to His disciples, "I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.... You will be hated by all men because of my name."
We are living in the middle of that reality right now. As Dorothy said to Toto, "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."
For much of my life, we Christians in America had an expectation that society would be hospitable to us, or at least apathetic. But we are now seeing a rise in hostility toward Christian theology and values.
But if we have been faithful students of the Word of God, we would know that that is exactly what we should expect from the world. And if we are going to successfully navigate this new reality, we need to go into it with our eyes wide open.
