On this episode of #CrackYourBible, we’re talking about how the earth had been destroyed thanks to Lucifer going to war with God and how God planned to renew the Earth.
While sin destroys the creations of God, God sends the Holy Spirit when He’s about to do big things and renew His creation. We’re delving into Genesis 1:2 – when the Holy Spirit, the third part of the Trinity, makes His first appearance in the Bible / Torah.
If the Bible is true, we’d see accounts of Biblical figures in other cultures’ stories. When it comes to Nimrod, we see proof of his existence in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Nimrod: the rebel Gilgamesh | Genesis 10 & the Epic of Gilgamesh
Today on #CrackYourBible, we’re talking about the Epic of Gilgamesh and Nimrod. While the Epic of Gilgamesh claims that Gilgamesh’s name will be brought high, the Bible simply records him as “the rebel” or “Nimrod.” Through the Bible, the moniker “Nimrod” has gained much more fame and in English, become synonymous with “fool.”
We can see the similarities between the Epic of Gilgamesh with various descriptions of entities and people that are present in the Bible, not because they conflict, but because they would have to exist if the Bible’s claims about these people are true.

Sediment doesn’t form layers over billions of years – whenever matter is in liquid, it quickly settles into layers by density – just like layered shots!
Episode 65 06/19/2017
☔ It’s in the layers – SCIENTIFIC PROOF of Noah’s Ark & the global flood | Genesis 7:17-23
On this episode of #CrackYourBible, we’re talking about how once the springs of the deep and the heavens fell to create the global flood, layers of sediment were able to separate themselves by density to quickly cover the earth and all of the animals that we see today as fossils. The Bible tells us that all of life was annihilated and that the whole world was covered by water – which we can see the evidence in the Great Unconformity, sedimentary rock and fossil record.
From the Bible, we know that:
• Water covered the entire earth, 15 cubits (23 feet) above the tallest mountains. Genesis 7:17-23

Abram, a man who went from pagan to patriarch, has an epic beginning that starts in the land of Ur. With no family support, Abram is on his own as he rejects the idolatry of his ancestors to follow God to a new land. Could you be like Abram?
Episode 134 11/27/2017
? An EPIC beginning! Abram: from PAGAN to Patriarch | Genesis 11
Today on #CrackYourBible, we’re talking about Genesis 11. While we’ve already covered all of Genesis 11 in-depth, this is the overview of the chapter that started it all with the first patriarch of the Bible. While Abraham is still Abram at this point, without understand the backstory of his homeland and the family that he came out of, it can be confusing and even frustrating at times to read his story. Let’s uncover the truth about Abram’s backstory that led him from being raised by a pagan father to becoming the patriarch of the Jewish people and the ancestor of Jesus the Messiah.

Satan’s going to knock you out with a Spiritual Lego if you don’t suit up with the FULL armor of God. Stop walking into the enemy’s territory with a helmet and nothing else. Let’s get ready to rumble in Satan’s territory.
Episode 228 08092018
⚔ 7 Pieces of the Armor of God Explained (How to use) | Biblical Metaphors Explained
On this episode of #CrackYourBible, we’re talking about a Bible basic - understanding the full armor of God. Too often Christians believe that simply saying the “sinner’s prayer” is enough to protect themselves against the schemes of the Devil - yet even Jesus used the Sword of the Spirit when Satan came to tempt Him!
Christians! It’s time to understand that the armor of God isn’t a mystery, but a metaphor. When you utilized every piece of your armor, Satan is no match for the power of God.

There’s a growing problem in the church – leaders who don’t know the Bible who are leading the flock. These signs of a bad pastor are so prevalent, and so many are not fit to lead, that Christians are completely inept at sharing their faith with others. What is the solution?
Episode 70 06302017
Blind leading the blind - how NOT to be an incompetent witness for Christ
Today on #CrackYourBible we’re talking about brand new Christians or people who haven’t even accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior becoming leaders in the Church. The reason theology has become so bad, and so unscriptural, is because people who don’t know the Bible are the ones teaching the teens and parents in both adult and youth ministries.
People who are new to the faith and are recovering addicts or going through other stressful times in their lives aren’t ready to be leaders or teachers in the Church. Churches are doing a disservice not only to the people in the ministries being taught by these unqualified people, but these new teachers aren’t getting the pastoral care a new believer or a person facing addiction or other mental health issues, need.

If God called, would you recognize His number or would you delete the message? So many people say they know God, yet they’re not even familiar with His words. How well do you actually know Him?
Episode 171 02/23/2018
☎ People think they know God (could you recognize His voice?)
Today on #CrackYourBible, we’re talking about getting to know God. It’s so important to not only hear God’s Word, but to put it into practice. Unfortunately, people today haven’t the slightest idea what God’s Word, the Bible, actually teaches. Of course people have all sorts of assumptions about what the Bible says from second hand information, but if God calls and you don’t know His voice, you’re likely to miss His Message.
From the Bible, we know that:
- We’re to talk about God’s Word all the time. Deuteronomy 6:4-9
- We’re to be doers of the word, not people who only hear. James 1:22, Romans 2:13

Exasperation doesn’t even begin to describe the feelings of what the people of the Bible went through? So why do we feel like we’re being bad Christians when we have a bad day?
Episode 198 04252018
?Having a BAD DAY? Feeling upset? (Even Jesus got FRUSTRATED!)
On this episode of #CrackYourBible, we’re talking about something we all experience - bad days. While some people can feel like they’re a failure for not being “on” all the time - happy, peppy and praising the Lord, don’t beat yourself up! Even Jesus got frustrated and felt upset, stressed and exasperated, as did so many people throughout the Bible. If they went through bad days, what can you do when you too have a rough day?
