• Diving Deeper: Reading the Old Testament with a Gospel Lens | Chad Bird | Ep. 46

  What if the Old Testament isn’t a harsh rulebook, but a love story pointing straight to Jesus? In this Diving Deeper episode, Adam welcomes Old Testament scholar and 1517 Scholar in Residence Chad Bird to help listeners see the Old Testament as a Christ-centered, grace-filled story rather than a distant or outdated text. Together they unpack the rise of Hebrew Roots/Torah-keeping movements, clarify which Old Testament laws were fulfilled in Christ, and explain how Paul’s warning to the Galatians still speaks into modern confusion around law, gospel, and Christian freedom. Chad then shows how Jesus and the apostles read the Scriptures—finding Christ in Genesis, the sacrifices, the feasts, and the Psalms—and how believers today can read and pray the Old Testament through that same lens.  Guest Bio: Chad Bird is a Scholar in Residence at 1517, where he teaches and writes to help Christians see the gospel shining through the Old Testament. He has served as a pastor, professor, and lecturer in Old Testament and Hebrew, and holds master’s degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College. A prolific author, Chad has written books including Unveiling Mercy, The Christ Key, Night Driving: Notes from a Prodigal Soul, Your God Is Too Glorious, and Untamed Prayers. He co-hosts the podcasts 40 Minutes in the Old Testament and Hidden Streams and regularly creates biblical teaching content online. Chad and his wife, Stacy, make their home in Texas and love spending time with their children and grandchildren.  Resources:  Website: https://www.1517.org/sections/chadbird Podcast: https://www.1517.org/podcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/writingsofchadbird Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chadlbird/channel/?hl=en X: htps://x.com/birdchadlouis TikTok: @chadbird1517 Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Chad-Bird/author/B00MS544WK?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=6b58d766-28d4-4868-8c46-9e341b2a55cc Sharkbanz: https://www.sharkbanz.com   Connect with All Things Possible: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SurferBethanyHamilton Instagram: @bethanyhamilton TikTok: @bethanyhamiltonofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBethanyHamilton Website: www.bethanyhamilton.com The Bethany Hamilton Network: https://bethanyhamilton.com/network

Ginny shares her journey from being an exhausted young mom to discovering freedom and joy by spending hours outdoors with her family.

• Birth Control, Big Pharma & Real Health: What Women Aren’t Told | Alex Clark | Ep. 44

  What if the “normal” way women are taught to do health is actually making them sicker? Bethany sits down with culture commentator and wellness advocate Alex Clark to unpack a surprising journey, from a teenage diet of Rice Krispie treats and chicken nuggets to becoming one of the leading voices in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Alex shares how the pandemic sparked an awakening in her own health, opening her eyes to Big Pharma, Big Food, the hidden side effects of hormonal birth control, and why so many millennial women are struggling physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They also talk about beauty culture, Botox, autoimmune issues, trusting God with our bodies, and the privilege of nourishing our families well.   Guest Bio: Alex Clark is a cultural commentator, podcast host, and outspoken wellness advocate leading the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. After years of working in radio and media—known in Louisville as the “Chicken Nugget Princess”—Alex underwent a complete transformation when she began uncovering the hidden realities of Big Pharma, Big Food, hormonal birth control, and America’s chronic illness crisis. She now hosts Culture Apothecary, a Turning Point USA–produced health and wellness show that blends research, activism, and real-life solutions for families seeking to break free from the standard American lifestyle. Alex has testified in the Senate alongside Bobby Kennedy Jr. and continues to educate women on informed consent, hormone health, toxic exposures, food quality, and living in alignment with God’s design for the body. Her mission is simple: empower Americans—especially young women—to reclaim their health, question the cultural narratives around wellness, and return to real, nutrient-dense living.

• Diving Deeper: Baptize the Babies? A Biblical and Historical Case | Pastor John Bombaro | Ep. 43

  Adam and Bethany are back with their Diving Deeper series, and welcome back Pastor John Bombaro to unpack one of the most debated topics in modern American Christianity: infant baptism.  Drawing from Scripture, the early church, and church history, Pastor John explains why the historic, global Christian consensus has baptized infants, how baptism is God’s saving action (not our personal performance), and why that matters for assurance, parenting, and everyday discipleship. They will cover: The historic Christian consensus on baptizing infants (Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist) Why baptism is God’s objective promise and action—not our subjective decision How Scripture speaks of new birth, washing, regeneration, and forgiveness in baptism The Reformation split: Zwingli/Anabaptists vs. the conservative Reformation (Lutheran/Anglican) Assurance for weary Christians: why baptism anchors us when our feelings fluctuate Mode questions (sprinkle/pour/immerse) and the Didache’s practical guidance Parenting through the lens of inheritance: raising baptized children in their own faith Guest Bio: Pastor John Bombaro is the senior pastor of St. James Lutheran Church in Lafayette, Indiana, home to Purdue University. Formerly a missionary and church planter in Kauai, Hawaii, Pastor John holds advanced degrees in theology and has taught and served globally. He and his wife, Melinda, have four children and are celebrating 30 years of marriage. Known for his clarity, depth, and pastoral warmth, Pastor John has a passion for helping people experience the gospel not just intellectually but intimately—in heart, soul, and body.
