Today we are starting our fifth season in the podcast. We will be breaking the Bible into six sections and showing how these books point to the flow of the entire Bible. Join us in our discussion today as we tackle the foundational Pentateuch texts of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

This episode explains why Scripture nourishes us (Psalm 1), traces creation and humanity made in God’s image, the fall and the promise of rescue, and God’s covenant with Abraham. We follow Joseph’s story into Egypt, the Exodus and Passover, the giving of the law at Sinai, and the purposes of sacrifice, holiness, justice, and sacred time.

Finally, we cover Israel’s wilderness wanderings, the delayed entry to the promised land, and Moses’ final charges in Deuteronomy, showing how the Pentateuch lays the theological and narrative foundation for the rest of the Bible.

In the final episode of the series, Pastor Jason examines how major behavioral shifts among first-century Jewish believers—abandoning dietary laws, the circumcision requirement, and the Saturday Sabbath—serve as historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus.

Using examples from Acts, Galatians, and the Jerusalem Council, along with commentary from scholars, the episode traces how these changes in long-held traditions are best explained by the disciples’ conviction that Jesus rose from the dead.

The episode concludes by arguing that the rapid spread and radical changes within the early church strengthen the historical case for the resurrection and invites listeners to weigh the evidence for themselves.
