Bible805, Basic Bible teaching, difficult subjects made easy

Description: This podcast drives the weekly content of the Bible805 ministry, where, in weekly lessons I take sometimes difficult topics in the Bible or that are Bible-related and make them easy to understand and apply.

I’ve become more intentional in this approach, as many students told me in various ways “You make hard stuff easy.” I’ve got an upcoming, revised series on the Trinity (see the 2026 schedule for release dates) and you can check it out to see if that works for you. Lesson series for 2026 include: Genesis and Job, Answers to the Big Questions of Life, The Trinity, Life after Death, Jesus, Salvation, and Discipleship, How We Got Our Bibles and more.

Schedule: The podcast airs each Wednesday on the podcast channels. By Friday of each week, links to videos, notes, discussion guides, and related infographics on are posted on www.Bible805.com, and free editable source materials that enable you to teach the lessons are available on www.Bible805Academy.com. Past lessons are available on both.

Clarifying the purpose of Bible805 and its part in the Great Conversation

by

The Great Conversation is my term for the combined teachings of all followers of Jesus as we attempt to share Him with our world. I believe it’s important to clarify the place of Bible805 in all the other options you have for learning the Bible, for those of you using my resources so there are no unrealistic expectations.

To do that, I’ll first clarify what I mean by the Great Conversation and then what I believe is my part and the part of Bible805 in it. Below is the podcast and then the text of it.

The importance of understanding the Great Conversation

Genesis & Job, Answers to the Big Questions of Life, Part Two

by

Answers to the Big Questions of life PART TWO This lesson continues our study of the Big Questions of Life by examining answers found in Genesis and Job. We learn that God is our Creator and therefore the foundation for our purpose and meaning in life. We also gain a clearer understanding of Satan—his origin, limitations, and methods of deception. Finally, Job provides one of the Bible’s earliest and clearest affirmations of life after death and bodily resurrection, giving believers hope that extends beyond this life. Through Job’s experiences, we are reminded that God remains sovereign, even in suffering, and that our ultimate future is secure in Him.

Motivation to teach the foundational truths of the Christian life to your people

by

I just finished teaching a series on Ancient Prophets, Modern Messages, and two passages stood out to and convicted me as a Bible teacher. They are:

Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

Malachi 2:7-8 “For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger of the Lord Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth. 8 But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; 

We don’t need to go back to the Old Testament prophets to see evidence of what happens to the people of God when they aren’t taught the foundational truths of the Christian faith, when they are not grounded in God’s Word and are taught primarily to go it to feel better and be more positive about life.

That doesn’t last much beyond the last praise song.

Wrapped up in love, three of the most important foundational truths for a realistic life with God

by

Job_Rebuked_by_His_Friend
Check out the lessons on Answers to the Big Questions of Life, from Genesis and Job for answers to the tough challenges of life.

This post is from Answers to the Big Questions of Life from Genesis and Job, Part One

Key verse: “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much.” Job 38:4, TLB

One of the worst things in life is being deceived about something important—if we think someone loves us and we find out they don’t; if we think a job we love isn’t what thought it would be; if we find out we aren’t the person we thought we were—believing something important and then finding out we were wrong can be devastating.

That reality is vitally true with our relationship to God. We must believe the correct things about Him for our walk with Him to make sense and for us to make the right decisions in how we follow Him. Sadly, many of the teachings today, even in the church, focus on simply what will make us feel good and if God doesn’t make us feel good or do what we want Him to do, many get mad and walk away.

Our lesson series on Genesis and Job was created to help you gain a clearer picture of what to expect in your relationship with Him. The three foundational truths I’m about to share, if looked at alone, can appear harsh and even cruel at times. But it is important to remember that wrapped up in every hard concept of God, everything that is difficult to understand, or a trial we are given to endure, comes from a God who is, above all things LOVE.

Answers to the Big Questions of Life from Genesis and Job – Part One: Introduction, Overview, Authorship and Dating of Both Books

by

Gen & Job, Part OneThis lesson introduces the foundational questions that will be explored throughout the Genesis and Job series. It begins with the central truth that the Bible is God’s story, revealing His creation, His purposes, and His answers to life’s most important questions. The lesson explains why Genesis and Job are placed together in a chronological study of the Bible and why understanding them correctly provides an essential foundation for understanding both the Bible and life.

Special attention is given to the authorship and dating of Genesis and Job. The lesson presents historical, geographical, traditional, and biblical evidence supporting Moses as the author or compiler of both books and affirms that Job was a real historical person. Throughout the lesson, three foundational truths emerge: God’s sovereignty over all things, the non-transactional nature of our relationship with God, and the reality of an unseen spiritual world.

Haggai and Zechariah, God Never Forgets Dreams or Promises

by

Haggai and Zechariah ministered after the Jewish people returned from the Babylonian exile. Although God had opened the way for them to rebuild the Temple, they became distracted by their own priorities and stopped the work. Haggai challenged them with practical obedience, while Zechariah encouraged them through visions that reminded them of God’s eternal purposes. Together, their messages teach that God keeps His promises, calls His people to faithful service, and asks them to live with both present obedience and future hope.
