In this episode Nathan and I explore the power that the tongue has in our daily life and how it can have a negative effect in our spiritual life. James presents this word first to the teachers of the Bible and the impact that their teaching has over the people. The need for the spirit to lead our tongue is evident in this passage of scripture.

If you do not know the Gambia is a small country located in West Africa sandwiched in the middle of Senegal. I have been lucky enough to visit on a short-term mission at the School that Sol and Manuela operate. During the course of this episode we talk about each of their testimonies from coming to Christ, the process of starting up the school that God gave vision for, and the future of the school and how this school will impact the country of the Gambia.

*Disclaimer* This Chapter in James talks about the works that Faith calls us out to do. In no way do Nathan or I believe that you are justified by works. As is obvious by the teachings of Jesus we are justified by faith and faith alone. Along with that God prepares for you good works, this is the perspective that Nathan and I come from when reading this convicting chapter in James. In this episode, we talk about James 2:14-26. James explains how faith and works are inseparable. Nathan and I focus on the fact that God calls you into works when Faith is conceived in you. In this portion, many people believe that Paul and James fundamentally disagree by reading into the chapter without context, but it is simply not true. Nathan and I discuss how James further refines Paul's explanation of justification by faith. I hope you enjoy this episode and dig into scripture after listening and come up with your own conclusions as well.

In this episode, we go into James chapter 2:1-13. James confronts the early church in Jerusalem about showing favoritism to people of wealthy standing and ignoring the poor. James gives a convicting address to all Christians about how important it is to be with one another without preconceived notions about the value of our brothers and sisters in Christ. As we dive in we find many interesting similarities between the Western Church and the early Church in Jerusalem.

In this episode, we go over what James commanded the Christian believers in Jerusalem at the time of his writing. Of course, the commands given by James not only back then, but also today.

In this episode Nathan and I go through the last chapter of the book of Jonah. This chapter is very interesting because it deals with the very human side of Jonah and how even when Jonah had an encounter with God he still had trouble knowing his heart toward the Ninevites.

In this episode Nathan and I talk about Jonah and the sermon that he gives to the people of Nineveh in chapter 3. This particular chapter is very interesting because you start to see Jonah slip back into his carnal nature. Being submitted to doing what God had asked of him he goes and gives Nineveh the word and they repent. This was a fun episode to record and we cannot wait to keep on producing content for y'all! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092499892645&sk=grid or talkingbiblepodcast@gmail.com What the Talking Bible podcast is about: This Podcast was created to talk about the bible from a layman's perspective.
