    The Terror Of Esau

    The Terror Of Esau
    By the intervention of God, Jacob has escaped from one frightening prospect, the one presented by Laban. But now he must move forward, under God's command, to face an even greater fear, his brother Esau. What kind of changes have taken place in Jacob's heart that have prepared him for this meeting? What terrifying news does he receive from the messengers whom he sent to Esau. What can we learn from Jacob's prayer that can help us to pray well when we are confronted by our worst fears? (60 min.)

    Repetitions At Bethel

    Repetitions At Bethel
    Why does our narrator bring up the death and burial of Deborah, of whom we know virtually nothing? A striking and important aspect of today's passage is the number of things which occur which have occurred before. What is the significance of all of the repetitions? Among these are Jacob's return to Bethel, even as Abraham returned to Bethel, God's second appearance to Jacob at Bethel, God's renaming of Jacob, God's restating again, for the twelfth time, the covenant promises. What are the lessons we can learn from Bethel that have application in our own experiences? (50 min.)

    Return To Bethel

    Return To Bethel
    God uses the disasters at Shechem to move Jacob on to Bethel. Shechem was never intended to be a destination, only a portal to another place. What happens when we get stuck at Shechem, and why is it important that we move on to Bethel? How do we become like the world when we define our spirituality by how we are not like the world? What encouraging change do we see in Jacob in this part of his life? Do we really practice idolatry in our modern world, and if so, how? (57 min)

    Go Down To Egypt

    Go Down To Egypt
    In our passage for this study Jacob sets out for Egypt to see his son Joseph before he dies. But before he leaves Canaan, he stops at Beersheba and offers sacrifices to God. Why does God, who named him Israel, call him Jacob? What is significant about Beersheba to Jacob? How does Beersheba compare with Bethel? Why would Jacob be apprehensive about going to Egypt? What four promises does God make to Jacob about going to Egypt? Why does this passage stress so strongly what and who Jacob took to Egypt? We encounter another of the genealogies of Genesis in this chapter. What are some things we can learn from this genealogy? (63 min.)

    Fugitive To Pilgrim

    Fugitive To Pilgrim
    Jacob leaves Beersheba and heads to Haran. He is a fugitive from his brother's wrath. Putting yourself in Jacob's sandals, what would you be thinking about one hour out of Beersheba? Three days later he arrives at a nondescript place and lays down to sleep. What he encounters in his dream that night alters his own life and the history of Israel. What is the ultimate fulfillment of that dream? Whom does he encounter, and what is he promised? Why does he erect a memorial in this place? Will what happens this night influence him only for a time, or will it have a life long impact? he came to this place a fugitive, but he leaves Bethel a pilgrim. What will it take for him to return to his family in peace and be reconciled to Esau?

    Recalling Bethel

    Recalling Bethel
    In this week's lesson we consider the second of the three key things which Jacob did at the end of his life. The first was to arrange for his burial in Canaan. The second is to adopt and bless the two sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim. It is important not to view this passage as the ramblings of an aged and ailing man. What is the significance of Jacob collecting his strength to sit up on the bed? Why does the narrator refer to him as Israel at that moment? How has Jacob changed from his early life? Why does Jacob recall for Joseph his own experience at Luz in Canaan (Bethel)? What are the key aspects of God's appearance to him at Luz which Jacob mentions here? What three subtle differences in how Jacob retells the story of Bethel reflect his current frame of mind here at the end of his life? (53 min)

    Bethel - The House of God

    Bethel - The House of God

    On the Teacher and the Preacher, Dave and Aaron take a short break from covering the Israel and Hamas conflict to talk about a biblical site very close to Aaron's home, Bethel also known as the House of God. 

    The Teacher and the Preacher is a weekly radio program--hosted by Dave McGarrah, Senior Pastor at Deer Flat Church in Caldwell, Idaho, and Aaron Lipkin from Israel--that airs each Sunday at 10:30 am and 7:30 pm here on 94.1 The Voice KBXL and also on Sunday evenings at 5 pm on our sister station 790 KSPD. They are a unique phenomenon on the airwaves – a Christian and a Jew in an ongoing dialogue – celebrating the many commonalities but never shying away from the differences. They offer their listeners insights into each other’s faiths that don’t come up much elsewhere, that can only come through sincere conversation. The weekly discussion is more than a program about a topic; it’s a demonstration of how God can bring two people together from 9,000 miles away to bridge the differences, learn from each other, and strengthen their own faiths.

    If you would like to learn more about this fantastic radio ministry, please visit their website at theteacherandthepreacher.com.

    The Abuse of the Holy Spirit

    The Abuse of the Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit is quite possibly the most misunderstood and abused member of the Holy Trinity. Some people don’t believe He is God, others think He is merely a mystical force or some abstract expression of God. His work, His deity, and His personhood are all essential Christian truths. In the midst of a generation ripe with false teaching that confuses people on this vital doctrine, this episode will help you avoid error and relish in the truth. Costi Hinn highlights several examples of blasphemy regarding the Spirit’s work, then provides 3 glorious reasons why getting the doctrine of the Holy Spirit matters.

    Should we keep using songs from disgraced churches in worship?

    Should we keep using songs from disgraced churches in worship?

    According to a new study, worship leaders aren't avoiding use of worship songs by Hillsong and Bethel--even though those churches are currently plagued by scandal. Aubrey and her guest co-host, Catherine McNiel, talk about it and then compare notes on the creative life and advice for their younger selves. Finally, they play hilarious games of "give me a false choice" and "Should Christians?"

    Jenn Johnson of Bethel Music

    Jenn Johnson of Bethel Music

    In what seems like deja vu, Alyssa gives an update on potty training with child #2 (no pun intended), Ryan talks about what it's like to be married for 2 years to Anna (we're praying for you, Anna!!) and Jeremy.....well he was going to talk about stuff too but ran out of time (lucky you). 

    And Jenn is....incredible. A true gem to have on the pod. She shares some amazing relationship advice, talks about her book All Things Lovely, songwriting, Bethel Music and what it's like being married to the singer from AC/DC. Or maybe that's a different Brian Johnson? We never got around to talking about Hootie but if I know anything about Jenn it's that her taste in music is impeccable and I'm quite confident that Hootie is her favorite band. 

    Lastly, if prayer is your thing then be sure to listen to the end of Jenn's conversation. Pretty special.

    Peace, Love, Anarchy

    A team of promoters set out to recreate the euphoria of Woodstock 1969 three decades later only to discover how much music and culture have changed. Two documentaries on this event (Netflix and Hulu) will be thoroughly spoiled in this episode. Also much of the content is vile and/or graphic. You’ve been warned.
