  Threads Through Scripture | Episode 1: Bread

  Sep 29, 202623 min

  If you would like additional resources for your Bible study, please sign up for my newsletter and visit the most recent post on my website: https://inquisitive-disciples.kit.com/profile/posts This Inquisitive Disciples episode follows the biblical “bread” theme from ancient Near Eastern daily life to worship and Jesus’ teachings. It explains bread’s cultural and economic importance, common types (unleavened, leavened, barley, wheat), and the serious impact of drought and famine, highlighting Yahweh’s provision in 1 Kings 17 with Elijah and the widow. The script also explores bread as hospitality (Abraham and Sarah baking for guests), archaeological evidence of household and communal baking, and the “bread of presence” in Leviticus 24 symbolizing God’s covenant provision for Israel. It then connects Exodus 16 manna to John 6, where Jesus identifies as the “I AM” and the “bread of life,” offering eternal sustenance, and ends with Bethlehem meaning “house of bread,” plus reflection prompts on daily spiritual dependence. 00:00 Bread Theme Intro 00:47 Bread Basics Context 02:34 Drought Famine and Baal 05:20 Hospitality and Sarah 07:07 Ancient Breadmaking Evidence 08:24 Bread in Worship 11:32 Bread of Life in John 14:59 Manna and Daily Dependence 17:11 I Am Living Bread 19:34 Bethlehem House of Bread 20:52 Reflection and Closing

Well, friends—here we are! I’m so excited (and admittedly a little nervous!) to finally introduce **Inquisitive Disciples**—a new space for women who have questions about Christianity, Scripture, and what they’ve been taught, but sometimes feel like they’re not supposed to ask them. I believe we can pursue intellectual honesty and faithfulness to Yahweh at the same time. Here, we’re going to ask questions, examine Scripture, consider historical and cultural context, research difficult topics, and wrestle with the things that don’t always fit neatly into a Sunday school answer. Because sometimes the honest response is, Hmmmm… how do I make sense of this?” And that’s okay. We may not always have the answers. We may even change our minds as we learn. But we can keep seeking, keep researching, keep wrestling, and allow Scripture to shape us along the way. Most importantly, I believe Yahweh is not threatened by our questions. *Inquisitive Disciples* will include Bible studies, devotionals, podcast series, newsletters, and other resources designed to help us dig deeper into Scripture and pursue knowing Yahweh more—not simply collecting answers, but learning who He is and how we are called to live. The podcast will launch with an **8-week series**, with a new episode each week, followed by a short two-week break before the next series begins. Thank you for being here at the very beginning. I’m genuinely excited to see where Yahweh takes this—and where He takes me as I continue learning what it means to be an inquisitive disciple. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and get started. Welcome to Inquisitive Disciples!

  Episode #299

  The Bible Isn't Perfect?! The Bible Was Written, Copied & Preserved by Humans — Can We Trust It?

  Aug 18, 202623 min

  On this episode of Coffee with Hales, we talk about what happens when the Bible doesn’t look as perfect as we thought, including how Scripture was copied, translated, transmitted, and preserved by humans. We discuss textual variants, what textual criticism is, and why differences between manuscripts (like spelling, word order, or even larger passages) don’t erase the Bible’s overall message. We also look at why the Gospels sometimes tell the same events differently, how authors wrote for different audiences, and why we should read Scripture in its original context. The episode encourages asking hard questions instead of walking away from faith. 00:00 Fragile Faith Foundations 00:35 Welcome Back and Big Questions 02:09 God Partners With Humans 04:40 From Oral Tradition to Scrolls 06:57 Textual Variants Explained 11:34 Famous New Testament Variants 12:41 Why Gospels Differ 18:59 Hermeneutics and Audience Context 20:50 Encouragement for Doubters 22:06 Thanks and Farewell
