Since you asked for a recommendation besides FB, Substack would be an amazing platform to build community! I would LOVE to connect with you and the Voxology family there!

I’ve had the privilege of being part of two churches where Mike was the lead teaching pastor, and I’ve always appreciated his ability to not only teach from the Bible but also provide historical context that makes the message even more relevant today. This podcast has been a true blessing, especially in today’s church and political climate. Mike and I’m reinforce the power of faith over religiousness, bringing clarity of the Bible and wisdom to every episode. I’m incredibly grateful for this show—thank you!

All of you are and have been a light upon a hill for years. Thank you for keeping me sane and for helping me hold on to a mustard seed of faith when I daily want to throw it all away. Especially now. Especially today. I am endlessly grateful. Peace and Love DT

Erre, you’re on the right track. Ekklesia and synagogue both mean the congregation or the people who are the called out ones. Politics is a Hellenistic term referring to governance of civil affairs of cities. Religion is a reconnection of a severed relationship (think torn ligaments). Your description of kingdom, particularly in these times, may wrongly be interpreted as supporting Christian Nationalists. The Decalogue is the only portion of the Torah that was distinctly given to Moses. The rest are human constructs in an attempt to control behaviors that the judges considered as violating the Decalogue. The Decalogue were edicts pointing to various actions that broke relationships between people or with God. Sin was not the behaviors, it was the breaking of relationships—the consequences of those behaviors. The blood sacrifices used in Temple worship was a carryover from prior religions in a superficial attempt to appease the gods who would punish the people for breaking the rules. Temple worship using the blood of animals was a higher state of development over using the blood of enemies or of tribal members. The tearing of the veil that separated the people from the Holy of Holies marked the end of blood sacrifices yet the followers of the Way incorporated the blood cult as a part of their religious rituals that continues to this day in the sacrament of Holy Communion.

I love this podcast and all of the important issues they talk about. HOWEVER, I really wish Mike & Tim would give each episode a unique name rather than the same title with endless parts. It makes me feel like I can’t jump in and listen unless I go back 6 months and get in on every single episode leading up to the most recent one. And that sounds overwhelming, so why even try? Guys, for the love of new beginnings, just get a little creative sprinkle to title names and help us all to feel like it’s safe to climb aboard the Voxology johnboat anytime we please.🪄 🛶 🪄 🙏🏼

Love, love, love Mike, Tim and Seth.

I love Seth

Do you want to laugh and smile at the same time you have your mind blown and your understanding transformed? Whether it’s the antics of Seth, the questions from Tim, or the insights from Mike, you will LOVE hanging out with these guys at Voxology podcast!! I love you all!!!

Growing kids God’s way episode is a must listen to episode. A great listen and one that is great to share far and wide. Thank you for being vulnerable and speaking your truth. It will benefit many who listen.

How is this podcast not more popular?? I’ve listened to about 10 episodes now and when I finish each episode, I’m thinking wow, Jesus is beautiful. It gives me fresh vision for how I want to show up in this world as a follower of Jesus. I appreciate Mike’s loving, straightforward, non-uptight, honest discussion of tough topics and enjoy the humor and energy of the show.
