What is the gospel—and is it bigger than what most people have been taught? This message walks through the Bible to show how the gospel was preached from the time of Abraham and unfolds into a powerful plan of salvation, transformation, and ultimate glorification for all humanity. You’ll discover how God is working through different stages to bring His truth to the whole world, revealing the incredible hope found in Christ. If you want to understand the full scope of God’s plan and your place in it, this is a study you won’t want to miss.
What were the Urim and Thummim—and how did God use them to communicate with Israel? In this episode, we explore the biblical texts, historical context, and thoughtful possibilities surrounding this mysterious method of divine guidance. From the high priest’s breastplate to the concept of “inquiring of the Lord,” we examine what Scripture reveals—and what it doesn’t. Most importantly, we contrast this with how God leads His people today through His Word and Spirit.
What does the Bible really mean when it calls believers the children of God? In this episode of Prove All Things, Jeff Reed, Mike James, and guest Jim O’Brien examine the biblical teaching that God is creating a family and inviting human beings into that relationship through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. They walk through key passages in Genesis, Hebrews, Romans, Acts, and 1 John to explain sonship, inheritance, glorification, and the future God has prepared for His people. This discussion also addresses common misunderstandings and shows why this truth is one of the most profound themes in all of Scripture.
In this episode of Prove All Things, Jeff Reed and Mike James welcome Tom Bettinger for a thought-provoking discussion on one of the Bible’s most debated questions: What is the ultimate fate of Satan? Together they examine key scriptures about Satan, sin, judgment, the lake of fire, and whether the Bible teaches eternal conscious torment or final destruction. This is a deep and challenging study that encourages viewers to search the Scriptures carefully and consider what God’s plan reveals about justice, mercy, and the complete removal of evil.
In this episode of Prove All Things, Jeff Reed and Mike James walk through Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy and why many see it as one of the strongest evidences for fulfilled biblical prophecy. They explain why the “weeks” are understood as weeks of years and how the timeline begins with the decree to restore Jerusalem under Artaxerxes. Following the 490-year framework, they connect key milestones to the Messiah’s appearing and the “cutting off” of the Anointed One. Along the way, they emphasize humility in prophecy, the reliability of God’s promises, and the hope of Christ’s future return.
What did Jesus mean when He said the only sign He would give was the “sign of Jonah”—three days and three nights in the grave? In this episode, guest Barney Rehm carefully examines the Gospel accounts, the Passover timeline, and the meaning of the “high day” Sabbath to uncover details many overlook. As the scriptures are compared step by step, questions emerge about how tradition and biblical timing align. You may be surprised at what the Bible actually says—and inspired to look deeper for yourself.
In this episode of Prove All Things, guest Robert Bates joins Jeff and Mike for a deep dive into the Name of God—why the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) appears thousands of times in the Hebrew Scriptures, why many English Bibles render it as “LORD,” and how Hebrew language and culture can add vivid depth to passages we already know. This is a thoughtful, Scripture-focused conversation that encourages reverence, humility, and “testing all things.”
In this episode of Prove All Things, Jeff and Mike visit with Bill Jacobs to unpack a powerful question: Are people born sinful, or does sin take root through influence and choice? Drawing from counseling experience and Scripture, Bill contrasts common “original sin” assumptions with a biblical picture of sin as something that tries to enter and spread—like a foothold that grows into a stronghold. The group discusses trauma, addiction, and how repeated experiences shape thinking, then pivots to the hope of transformation as we “set our minds on the things above” and walk by the Spirit. This is a thoughtful, practical conversation about how real change happens—and how Christ helps us fight the battle in the heart.
Jeff and Mike welcome special guest Tim Threadgill of the Greater Phoenix Church of God, a professional counselor with years of experience helping individuals and families. The discussion explores the biblical value of seeking wise counsel (Proverbs 15:22) and offers practical guidance for Christians who want to support others in difficult seasons. Tim explains key helping skills—active listening, validating feelings without necessarily agreeing, setting healthy boundaries, and knowing when to encourage someone to seek professional therapy. The episode also addresses common questions about PTSD and autism, the stigma around mental health, and how therapy and (when needed) medication can be tools for healing, growth, and stability.
This week's program features special guest Jennings Pinkerman for an honest conversation about addiction, recovery, and faith. Jennings shares his personal journey—highlighting that addiction is a disease, not merely a moral failing, and that lasting change requires support, accountability, and God’s help. The discussion connects practical recovery tools (including 12-step programs and community) with biblical repentance, vulnerability, and resisting isolation. The hosts also address warning signs, reducing stigma, seeking professional help when needed, and encouraging anyone struggling to reach out for help.
On this weeks Prove All Things, Jeff and Mike welcome back Tyler elder Blake Silverstein for a conversation that helps explain why the Bible can sound so foreign to modern ears. Blake unpacks the difference between an ancient “honor and shame” culture and today’s Western “guilt and innocence” mindset—and how that lens can change the way we read familiar stories like David and Bathsheba and the Prodigal Son. Along the way, they connect it to Christian discipleship, repentance, and why restoring relationships matters more than a merely “transactional” view of faith. If you’ve ever wondered why certain teachings (like eternal torment) don’t line up with the full biblical picture, this episode will give you a fresh and practical way to think about it.
What does it look like to practice grace in real life—toward others and toward yourself? In this episode of Prove All Things, Jeff Reed and Mike James are joined by Tom Tennney, author of The Weight of Grace, for an honest conversation about moving from sympathy to empathy to compassion. Tom shares powerful lessons from therapeutic foster parenting and addiction recovery, plus a moving “burden-sharing” social experiment that challenges how we see people. If you’ve ever struggled with shame, judgment, or knowing what to say when someone is hurting, this discussion will give you a better way forward.
In this first Prove All Things episode of the new year, Jeff and Mike welcome first-time guest Leon Daniels from Tennessee, who shares his decades-long journey in the Church of God and his passion for simple, practical Christianity. Leon talks about his long-running radio program, “The Truth Will Set You Free,” and why he encourages listeners to study, prove, and hold fast—without turning faith into a contest of ego or “who knows more.” The conversation spotlights Leon’s book, The Influence of Babylon, exploring how worldly systems and traditions can quietly shape belief and practice—and why Christ calls His people to come out of confusion and back to the essentials. It’s an honest, warm discussion about humility, forgiveness, and building bridges, with plenty to make you think and want to dig deeper.
In this episode of Prove All Things, Jeff and Mike (joined by Olivia Doyle) tackle the topic of addiction—defining it as a powerful neuropsychological struggle that can involve substances or behaviors and often includes cravings, withdrawal, and escalating tolerance. They emphasize that addiction can happen to anyone (including through prescription medications) and warn against judgment, urging compassion and wise counsel. The hosts discuss modern “easy access” traps like pornography, internet use, gambling, and even food, showing how dopamine-driven patterns can quietly reshape the mind and harm relationships and daily life. Grounding the discussion in Scripture, they highlight the spiritual battle behind temptation and offer hope: through God’s strength, accountability, and practical help, freedom and recovery are possible.
Prove All Things welcomes guest Bill Lussenheide for a wide-ranging discussion on the most pressing spiritual challenges facing Christians today. Drawing on recent surveys, the episode explores theological confusion, rejection of absolute moral truth, biblical illiteracy, and the growing influence of blended worldviews within modern Christianity.

Listeners are challenged to pursue biblical grounding, personal responsibility, and authentic community in a rapidly changing world.

If you’ve heard claims about the “ancient” Zadok Calendar and wondered whether they hold up biblically, this episode offers a clear, thoughtful, and Scripture-based response.

The hosts highlight how learning to change our inner story, grounded in truth and love, can break the cycle of fear and help believers stand strong in difficult times.

If you’ve ever wondered whether true unity among God’s people is possible today, this encouraging conversation may surprise you—and inspire you.
In this episode of Prove All Things, guest Dianne Webb shares powerful updates from the Tabitha Outreach Foundation’s work in Kenya. She highlights the success of their secondary school—now equipped with new computer, science, and chemistry labs—and celebrates their first graduating class, with most students qualifying for universities or technical schools. Dianne also describes their expanding outreach to widows through an innovative “three-hen” micro-business initiative, as well as plans to build a new school on recently purchased land with an agricultural program. The program also touches on Christian education, Sabbath instruction, and inspiring stories of students and staff whose lives are being transformed.
This episode dives into Bryant Buck's journey from nominal Christianity to becoming a lifelong independent Sabbath-keeper, shaped by deep historical study and the desire to follow the faith of the first-century church. He discusses his new book, The New Testament Writer's Worldview, which argues that the apostles kept the Sabbath, understood time differently than modern Christians, and upheld God’s commandments rather than replacing them. The hosts explore how early Jewish and Gentile believers practiced their faith, why Sunday arguments fall short biblically, and how misunderstandings of “Bible time” and ordinances contribute to modern confusion. The conversation ultimately highlights a growing interest in returning to the biblical Sabbath and using this book as a tool to help Sunday-keepers rediscover the faith once delivered.
