Are you reading a "Canon within a Canon"? 📖 Most of us stick to the Psalms and Gospels, treating the rest of the Bible like "flyover states." But what if the books we skip—the Minor Prophets, Leviticus, and Lamentations—hold the specific nutrients our modern faith is starving for?

In this Deep Dive, we explore why we avoid the Bible’s "dangerous" books. We dust off the fiery social justice of Amos, the grief protocols of Lamentations, and bust the biggest modern myths about Revelation and the End Times.

We cover:

• Why "Relevancy" is killing biblical literacy.

• The "Amos Trap": Why financial blessing doesn't equal God's approval.

• Why Leviticus is actually a safety manual for God's presence.

• The truth about the "Secret Rapture" and the mark of the beast.

Don't let your faith remain anemic. It's time to eat the meat, not just the cake.

• 01:35 - The "Canon within the Canon": Why we edit God.

• 03:45 - The 3 Reasons we skip books (Preference, Complexity, Comfort).

• 09:15 - Amos: The Fig-Grower vs. The Wealthy Elite.

• 12:30 - The "Plum Line" & The Trap of Prosperity.

• 13:50 - Malachi: When worship becomes boring (and divorce).

• 16:15 - Zephaniah: The "Paper Tiger" God fallacy.

• 17:50 - Obadiah: The sin of gloating over enemies.

• 19:00 - Leviticus: Why we hate it (and why we need it).

• 21:40 - Lamentations: How to grieve without losing faith.

• 23:45 - Revelation: Busting the "Codebook" & Rapture myths.

• 28:00 - Why avoiding the hard stuff creates a fragile faith.

Was the most famous prophet in history actually a ghost in the machine of the ancient world?

In this episode, we strip away the Hollywood icon—the gray beard, the staff, and the Charlton Heston charisma—to hunt for the real Moses. We dig into the uncomfortable silence of Egyptian records and explore the shocking theory that Moses wasn't a Hebrew liberator, but a high-ranking Egyptian nobleman who shed his identity.

We uncover:

• The Name Game: Why "Moses" is actually an Egyptian name (and what it really means).

• The Cover-Up: Did the Pharaohs erase the Exodus from history, or did it never happen?

• The Evidence: From the Merneptah Stele to a mysterious "four-room house" found in Western Thebes.

• The Freud Theory: Why the father of psychoanalysis believed Moses was murdered by his own people.

• The Legacy: How a mistranslation gave Michelangelo's Moses horns, and how the prophet inspired the American Revolution.

Join us as we sift through the sands of the Sinai, decode hieroglyphs, and challenge the timeline of the 13th Century B.C.E. to find the man behind the myth.

But the Hebrew grammar suggests it was a ruin. 🏚️ Here is why that changes everything.In the opening lines of the Bible, there is a mystery hidden in the Hebrew grammar.
