The Bible in a Year

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence move through the heart of Luke's Gospel, opening with a look at Luke himself — the Gentile physician, meticulous observer, and gifted writer whose care for the marginalized & for women runs through every chapter. The episode works through some of the most beloved parables in all of Scripture: the Good Samaritan, the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son — with the hosts drawing out the brilliant context of Luke 15, where the lost sheep and prodigal represent those outside the flock while the lost coin and the older brother represent those already inside the house who need to come home too. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin unpacks the Good Samaritan through the lens of Dr. Jim Halbert's observation that the priest and the Levite "stepped over ministry to get to ministry," connecting it directly to the work happening right outside our own front doors. The episode closes on the rich man and Lazarus, the great chasm, and a powerful meditation on Jesus as the only bridge — a reminder that the exclusivity of Christ is always paired with the inclusivity of His call.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Gospel of Luke — the orderly, meticulously researched account written so that Theophilus might know the certainty of what he'd been taught — and work through the birth narratives, John the Baptist's ministry, the temptation in the wilderness, and Jesus' earliest ministry. The hosts build a stunning through-line around the glory of God: absent from the temple for roughly 600 years after Ezekiel watched it depart, and silent for 400 years after Malachi, the glory suddenly blazes over a field of forgotten shepherds — whose terror, the hosts note, was exactly the right response. A standout moment comes as they contrast Zechariah's doubting "how can I be sure of this?" with Mary's humble "how will this be?", and unpack the Magnificat as a revolutionary song so saturated with Old Testament scripture that it simply pours out of a young woman who had hidden the Word in her heart. Throughout it all, the episode celebrates the "slow burn" faithfulness of Zechariah, Elizabeth, Joseph, Mary, Simeon, and Anna — ordinary people who simply showed up every day and were ready when the glory returned.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Gospel of Mark to a close, covering the triumphal entry, the cleansing of the temple, the Olivet Discourse, and the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. The hosts draw out an intricacy unique to Mark — that Jesus entered the temple courts, looked around at everything, and left for Bethany before returning the next day — making clear that the cleansing of the temple was never a reactionary outburst but a deliberate, premeditated, holy act. A standout moment comes as they unpack Mark 13's bookended command to "watch," challenging the modern church's tendency to get caught up in the frenzy of activity while losing the watchfulness Jesus called for, and reminding listeners that reading the news should not produce fear but discernment. The episode closes on one of the most tender details in all of Scripture — the angel's instruction to "go tell His disciples and Peter" — a deliberate word of welcome to the one man who believed he could never be redeemed.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Gospel of Mark — the shortest of all four Gospels — and cover the first 10 chapters in a single episode, tracing Mark's signature theme of Jesus' authority: over demons, sickness, sin, the Sabbath, and even nature itself. The hosts highlight how Mark bookends the entire Gospel with the declaration of Jesus as the Son of God — from the opening verse to the centurion's confession at the cross — and land repeatedly on the thesis statement of Mark 10:45: 'the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many.' A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin unpacks Jesus' early-morning rhythm of solitary prayer in Mark 1, drawing out the difference between the "bursts" of ministry we all love and the quiet, daily discipline of prayer & scripture study that actually sustains them. Throughout it all, the hosts weave in the Syrophoenician woman's bold, persistent faith, the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, and Christ's radical redefinition of greatness as a descent rather than an ascent.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence journey through the final nine chapters of Matthew — from the parable of the workers in the vineyard, to the triumphal entry, the cleansing of the temple, the Olivet Discourse on the end times, and ultimately the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The hosts unpack the beautiful truth that it is never too late to come to Jesus, pairing it with Christ's radical redefinition of greatness — the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and greatness is found not in ascent but in descent. A standout moment comes as the hosts reflect on the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25, connecting "whatever you did for the least of these" directly to the daily work of Kingdom and The Source Foundation. The episode closes on the Great Commission and the striking detail that even as they worshiped the risen Christ, "some doubted" — a tender reminder that Jesus meets us and commissions us right in the middle of our doubt.
