STB161 | BSE | Hebrews 8.13-10.18 E2 January 26, 2026STB161 | BSE | Hebrews 8.13-10.18 E2BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott continue their study through Hebrews by confronting how easily believers drift back into external rules, self-effort, and spiritual performance. This episode presses into the heart of the gospel: Jesus didn’t partially replace the old covenant — he fulfilled and rendered it obsolete. The conversation exposes how law-based thinking (a life built on the 10 Commandments) still shapes worship, discipleship, and judgment today, and re-centers salvation as trusting Jesus’ finished work while living empowered by the Holy Spirit, not managed by religious systems. *Please note, this discussion takes place in two episodes. This is episode two.* VIEW EPISODE

STB160 | BSE | Hebrews 8.13-10.18 E1 January 19, 2026STB160 | BSE | Hebrews 8.13-10.18 E1BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott begin a series exploring Hebrews 9-13 by setting the theological foundation for why Jesus is greater than everything that came before him (think Old Testament Law and the 10 Commandments). Before diving into doctrine, they dive into the purpose, authorship, and structure of Hebrews. This episode reframes the Old Testament as a shadow pointing to Jesus, clarifying why the law could diagnose sin but never heal it — and why intimacy with the Father is now fully accessible through Jesus. *Please note, this discussion takes place in two episodes. This is episode one.* VIEW EPISODE

STB159 | BSE | Conflict: The Process of Resolution January 12, 2026STB159 | BSE | Conflict: The Process of ResolutionBIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott walk through the process of resolution by defining forgiveness, repentance, reconciliation, and restoration through the lens of Jesus and the gospel. They challenge behavior-based gospel narratives and show how the good news begins with who people are as God designed them, not what they’ve done. This episode reframes salvation, propitiation, reconciliation, and restoration as participation in God’s new creation, inviting Christians to live as ambassadors who reflect grace in real relationships.

STB158 | BSE | Conflict: Anger E2 January 5, 2026STB158 | BSE | Conflict: Anger E2Nathan and Pastor Scott conclude their two-part teaching on anger by clarifying how anger reveals what’s happening in the heart. In this second episode, they move from unhealthy expressions of anger (smoldering and explosive) into a biblical understanding of righteous anger, showing how anger can either protect one’s self or serve restoration. The conversation challenges listeners to discern motive, submit reactions to the Holy Spirit, and practice repentance that leads toward maturity, forgiveness, and reconciliation. This episode brings both teachings together, offering a clear pathway for handling anger in a way that reflects the heart of our Heavenly Father. *Please note, this discussion takes place in two episodes. This is episode two.* VIEW EPISODE

STB157 | BSE | Conflict: Anger E1 December 29, 2025STB157 | BSE | Conflict: Anger E1BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott begin a two-part conversation on conflict by reframing anger through the lens of Scripture. Rather than suppressing anger or labeling it as a sin, this episode examines indignation as a morally neutral response that reveals our motives and how we respond to offense. Together, they unpack how unresolved anger creates space for the enemy, how misapplied Bible verses fuel control instead of maturity, and why learning to process anger rightly is essential for healthy relationships, leadership, and spiritual growth. *Please note, this discussion takes place in two episodes. This is episode one.* VIEW EPISODE

STB156 | BSE | Identity: Our Participation December 22, 2025STB156 | BSE | Identity: Our ParticipationBIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott wrap up the Identity series by focusing on participation, clarifying how redemption invites us into active cooperation with what the Holy Spirit is rebuilding. After an opening conversation on humor, reverence, and knowing your audience, the study begins by confronting the idea that participation equals performance. Instead, obedience is framed as a response to grace, not an attempt to earn it. Drawing from Isaiah 61, this episode shows how true participation requires submission, stretches comfort, and forms maturity as we join God in His ongoing work of restoration. VIEW EPISODE

STB155 | BSE | Identity: Our Redemption December 15, 2025STB155 | BSE | Identity: Our RedemptionBIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott focus on redemption, not as behavior management, but as restoration to God’s original design. They explore how redemption is not merely forgiveness of sin, but a reclaiming of purpose, desire, and identity — freeing us to live as God originally intended for each one of us from our individual beginnings. This episode challenges reductionistic views of redemption and invites listeners into Spirit-empowered transformation that reshapes how we think, live, and relate. VIEW EPISODE

STB154 | BSE | Identity: Our Corruption December 8, 2025STB154 | BSE | Identity: Our CorruptionBIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott step into the next part of the Identity series by examining corruption — not as a loss of identity, but as the breaking of our perception of it. Through Scripture, design analogies, and honest stories, they reveal how false beliefs, unhealthy habits, and misplaced desires slowly shape us away from God’s intention. This episode invites listeners to explore how the Spirit restores clarity, exposes unhealthy patterns, and rebuilds us through truth, community, and surrender. VIEW EPISODE

STB153 | BSE | Identity: Our Perception December 1, 2025STB153 | BSE | Identity: Our PerceptionBIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott launch a new identity series by challenging the lie that people are “broken” at their core. Using Scripture and real-life stories, they explain how our identity as God’s image-bearers is intrinsic and irreplaceable, even when our lives feel messy. This episode reframes “blessing” as an opportunity to prosper, unpacks our mission to bring order to chaos, and invites listeners to see themselves the way the Father already does. VIEW EPISODE

STB152 | BSE | Salvation: Our Submission November 24, 2025STB152 | BSE | Salvation: Our SubmissionBIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott explore salvation through the lens of submission, revealing that true freedom comes not from self-rule but from willingly aligning ourselves under God’s design. They unpack how salvation leads us into a life of surrendered trust — choosing the Spirit’s authority over the impulses of our habitual inclinations. Submission is not passivity; it’s the doorway into Spirit-empowered living, where obedience produces maturity, purpose, and the fruit of God’s life within us. VIEW EPISODE

STB151 | BSE | Salvation: Our Freedom November 17, 2025STB151 | BSE | Salvation: Our FreedomBIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott continue their series on salvation, revealing that Jesus’ redemption isn’t just about being set free from sin but being set free to live empowered by the Holy Spirit. They uncover how salvation restores humanity to its original design — living in partnership with God’s purpose and authority. They show that redemption is not a single moment of escape but an ongoing journey of transformation, where believers learn to walk in true freedom, maturity, and Spirit-led life. VIEW EPISODE

STB150 | BSE | Salvation: Our “Fall” November 10, 2025STB150 | BSE | Salvation: Our "Fall"BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Pastor Scott explore what salvation truly means, challenging traditional views of “the fall” and redefining it as humanity’s ongoing rebellion against God’s design. They unpack Luke 15 to show that every lost thing — a sheep, a coin, or a son — first belonged to its owner, revealing that redemption isn’t about earning God’s favor but returning to His heart. Together, they confront distorted teachings about salvation and highlight how reconciliation, repentance, and relationship with the Father are central to the gospel’s story. VIEW EPISODE

STB149 | BSE | Salvation: Our Origin November 3, 2025STB149 | BSE | Salvation: Our OriginBIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Nathan and Phil kick off a new four-part series on Salvation, exploring what it means to be rescued, restored, and made new through Jesus.

However, the word in Psalm 38.18 translated as “iniquity” is a completely different Hebrew word than 2 Samuel 38.18 and means guilty of sin. Psalm 89 deals with the Messianic Davidic Kingdom and has no bearing on the word “iniquity” from 2 Samuel 7.14.
