Understanding the Trinity, Part One, The Three Persons of the Trinity

by

This lesson explains that the doctrine of the Trinity is not a confusing mystery but a truth revealed throughout the Bible. It introduces the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three distinct, eternal persons who share the one divine nature. It also addresses common misunderstandings, explains biblical personhood, and shows how each member of the Trinity works together in perfect unity for our salvation.

Following is the podcast, video, and below them a PDF copy of the class handouts that includes the Notes, Discussion Guide, and the infographics on the Trinity.

Answers to the Big Questions of Life, Genesis and Job, part three

by

In this final lesson in the Genesis and Job series, we explore three important questions: What about people who have never heard of Jesus? Why do innocent people suffer? How can we help people who are suffering?

Through the story of Job and examples throughout the Bible, we see that God is at work in ways we often cannot see or fully understand. We learn that God does not relate to us on a simple transactional basis where obedience guarantees earthly prosperity. Instead, God is sovereign, spiritual warfare is real, suffering can serve purposes beyond our understanding, and God’s ultimate plans extend into eternity. We are called to trust Him, help others with kindness and wisdom, and maintain an eternal perspective in both suffering and service.

Truly upsetting facts about Bible literacy and a reminder that Bible805 can help

by

My purpose in Bible805 is to help you know, trust, apply, and teach the Bible.

I know personally from many years of teaching how little many people in our world today know nothing about the Bible, but even then, though I deal with this all the time, I was shocked with the results of these studies that were done last year in 2025. The two studies that both measured current Bible literacy in the U.S. are:

A 2025 study by the National Bible Literacy Project

The 2025 State of the Bible by the American Bible Society

Below I’ll share 6 facts from the studies and then a few closing comments. You can either listen to them, or read them below the podcast.

Why you might have a tough time teaching the Bible today and how Bible805 can help

by

I’m full of disclaimers and caveats, and I know that there are exceptions to everything I say that follows. I acknowledge there are many ways to teach and disciple, but the Bible805 content-intensive system of teaching is what’s worked for me for many years, and it has resulted in significant spiritual growth in people that have taken my Bible classes.

To explain how I’ve come up with the methods I use in Bible 805 to enable you to know, trust, apply, and teach the Bible, we’re going to look at two apostles: Peter and Paul, the radically different audiences they faced, and how they used different methods to reach them.

We’ll then look at similar situations that occur in our world, and I’ll share how I put together the Bible805 foundation for Bible teaching, which I’ve summarized into 7 Observations:

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.
