The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John provide a comprehensive portrait of Jesus Christ. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels due to their similar narrative order and shared content. John's Gospel is distinct and includes much unparalleled information. Each Gospel was written for different audiences and emphasizes different aspects of Jesus' mission and teachings[1][2][3].
The Book of Job is an Old Testament book that explores themes of suffering, faith, and the nature of God. It tells the story of Job, a righteous man who endures immense suffering despite his piety. The book features dialogues between Job and his friends, who attempt to explain his suffering, and between Job and God. It raises profound questions about the relationship between God and humanity, the problem of evil, and the meaning of life. The Book of Job is considered a literary masterpiece, known for its poetic language and philosophical depth. It remains a source of reflection and inspiration for readers grappling with the complexities of faith and suffering.
The Book of Acts is the fifth book of the New Testament and serves as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke. It chronicles the history of the early Christian church, beginning with the ascension of Jesus Christ and ending with Paul's imprisonment in Rome. The book is divided into two main sections: the first focuses on the ministry of Peter in Jerusalem and Samaria (Acts 1–12), and the second follows Paul's missionary journeys throughout the Roman Empire (Acts 13–28). It highlights the transition of the gospel message from a Jewish audience to the Gentiles, the empowerment of believers by the Holy Spirit, and the growth of the church despite persecutions. The book also explores the relationship between Christians and the Roman Empire, showing how Christians could obey both God and the civil authorities[2][3][5].
Ryan Bethea, producer, writer, and host of the hit podcast The Exorcist Files, joins me for a fascinating conversation about the supernatural—and what he’s learned after years of studying real-life exorcisms.
As a Protestant, how does he feel about keeping the relic of St. Jude’s arm in his kitchen? Is God still working miracles today, or were those only for the early Church? What does unforgiveness have to do with cases of demonic possession?
This episode will challenge you to be more open to hearing God’s voice—and to consider how spiritual warfare might be closer than we think.
Plus, Ryan shares behind-the-scenes stories from The Exorcist Files and how the series has shaken, strengthened, and stretched the faith of so many.
