Clearly with Jimmy & Kelly Needham

On this first season of the Clearly podcast:We’re going straight for the deep end, swimming in those often avoided books of the Bible—the minor prophets. Kelly will be walking us through Malachi and Joel while Jimmy addresses some of the complex topics that come up in these passages, things like election, judgment, and wrath (charming, right?). Don’t be scared! These books and topics are good for us! Paul assured us in 2 Timothy 3:16 that ALL scripture is profitable, not just the stuff that fits on coffee mugs. It benefits us to dig into the Word, even the uncomfortable parts. So join us as we navigate these waters and clear away the fog so that we can see God clearly.In these 12 weeks, we’re going to: • learn about prophetic literature in the Bible and why it’s important to study and understand• dig deep into Malachi and Joel and see how they point to Jesus • look at parts of God’s character we tend to avoid and see that he’s more lovely than we ever knew• bring clarity to complex Biblical topics like election, wrath, and judgment• address the problem of pornography and a real path for victorySo let’s dive deep into our Bibles and see what we find. This season will challenge you, confront you, and comfort you as you see the Savior with clearer eyes.

Joel = Probably the least read book in the whole Bible. But why? Jimmy and Kelly explore some of the top reasons Christians avoid this book like the plague…which, consequently, is Joel's theme. Go figure. ----Become a live audience member: patreon.com/jimmykellyneedham

Here we go, gang. Joel chapter 1. We've got locusts. Armies. Armies of locusts. Famine. Wailing. God's judgment. Did we mention locusts? Begin the journey through one of the shortest and least read books of the Bible with us on Clearly! ----Become a live audience member at patron.com/jimmykellyneedham

God's judgment gets a bad wrap. Yes, it's never fun to read about, much less experience! But as Kelly shows us in Joel chapter 2, God uses pain like a prod to push our stubborn hearts back to the only place they'll be happy...back to Him.----If you enjoy the show, write a review, like and subscribe!

Should we be afraid of God? The Bible definitely doesn't shy away from saying we should "fear" the Lord. But lots of Christians get squeamish at the thought of fearing the One we're called to love and draw near. What are we missing?
