Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

In this episode of Theology is Fun , Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben dive deeper into the unseen battle between angels, demons, and Satan and how God's power and plan remain sovereign over it all. From the story of Job to the wild scene with the Sons of Sceva, they unpack how the enemy’s attempts to frustrate God’s purposes actually fulfill them. You’ll laugh, you’ll think deeply, and most importantly, you’ll be reminded that Satan is not omniscient, omnipresent, or unbeatable. Jesus already won. What we cover: How Satan operates within God’s permission Why demons don’t have the final word Why suffering doesn’t mean God’s not in control Encouragement for believers battling difficulties And what happened if you left a fight without your pants If you’re in a season of grief, struggle, or just trying to make sense of the world’s brokenness, this one’s for you.

Do you have a guardian angel? Do angels actually have wings? And did Satan ever rule hell? In Episode 5, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood (and most dramatized) topics in all of theology: the unseen realm. From Hollywood myths to biblical truth, they explore what Scripture really says about angels, demons, and Satan, including how these spiritual beings function, how they fell, and what that means for us today. You’ll laugh and learn, as they break down: The three types of angels: messengers, seraphim, and cherubim The role of guardian angels (and if they're real) The cosmic fall and the rise of Satan How demons differ from angels—and how they still operate today Why Satan never ruled hell And how God is still fully sovereign over all of it Whether you’re an “angel on every corner” kind of person or someone who’d rather not think about spiritual warfare at all, this one’s for you. Don’t forget to subscribe and join us for Part 2 , where we’ll talk about the visible effects of invisible conflict—and how God’s purpose still wins.

What do dire wolves, Jurassic Park, and the Book of Genesis have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben sink their theological teeth into the wild world of DNA manipulation, extinct creatures, and whether bringing dire wolves back from the dead is ethical or biblical. From LL Cool J quotes to dominion theology, we explore what it really means to be made in the image of God and where humanity’s role begins and ends when it comes to creating life. Should we recreate extinct animals? What does "dominion" actually mean? And are Frankenwolves just a really bad idea?

Did Aliens help build the pyramids? In this episode of Theology is Fun , Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben tackle wild theories about aliens, the pyramids, and humanity’s age-old attempt to bridge the material and immaterial realms. We dive into the Bible, from Eden to the Tower of Babel to Jacob’s Ladder, showing how God's plan to reconnect heaven and earth was never through human effort (or aliens) but through Christ alone. Get ready for a fun and Christ-centered exploration of: 👉 Why humanity keeps trying to bridge heaven and earth 👉 What the pyramids (and ziggurats) were really about 👉 How Jesus fulfills the heavenly bridge that mankind could never build 👉 And yes... a few jokes about roller skating, jorts, and yoga along the way.

Did Jesus walk out of the tomb quietly? In this episode, Dr. Corey Abney and Dr. Ben Skaug respond to a controversial Lenten reflection from the Papal Preacher, who describes the resurrection of Jesus as "not a triumphant display of power, but a quiet act of love." Pastor Corey and Pastor Ben unpack why this framing creates a false dichotomy between love and dominion—and risks redefining the resurrection altogether. Why does it matter that He rose in power, and what’s at stake if we downplay that victory? With Scripture, history, and (yes) a little ping pong banter, the conversation moves from Genesis to Revelation, Colossians to Corinthians, exploring how Christ as the Second Adam crushes the serpent, defeats death, and secures eternal victory for the redeemed. This isn't a quiet episode. It's a clear call to recover a full-definition resurrection-bodily, powerful, victorious, and loving.

Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ was graphic, intense, and unforgettable, but did it portray the true suffering of Jesus? In this first episode, Dr. Corey Abney and Dr. Ben Skaug explore what Scripture reveals about Jesus’ greatest suffering—and it wasn’t physical. They dive into the weight of sin, the wrath of God, and what really happened on the cross. Watch this episode and all future episodes on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/BellShoalsChurch…
