In a world that constantly warns us not to think of ourselves as the “main character,” Scripture offers a surprising counterpoint: God really does want you to step into the role He’s written for your life. You are meant to live a story worth telling… because the Author is with you in every scene.

As pastors, we’re often eager to be “in the conversation,” but too many never actually go where the conversation is happening. Conferences like ETS and SBL can bring together the world’s leading theologians, historians, linguists, and biblical scholars, giving pastors the chance to sharpen their minds, stay current, and stay rooted in the truth. Join us as we talk about why showing up matters!

Today we take a deeper dive into the Synoptic Situation—how Matthew, Mark, and Luke overlap, where they differ, and why those similarities and distinctions matter for understanding the life and ministry of Jesus. This episode helps you see the Gospels not as competing stories, but as perfectly complementary witnesses pointing to the same Savior.

Matthew, Mark, and Luke each introduce Jesus in strikingly different ways—but only two of them record His birth. In this episode, we walk through the Nativity accounts in Matthew and Luke, explore why Mark begins differently, and uncover how each Gospel writer shapes our understanding of Jesus’ identity from the very start. From genealogies to shepherds, from dreams to divine announcements, we’ll connect the dots and show how the Synoptic Gospels together give us a fuller, richer picture of the birth of Christ.

Why do Matthew, Mark, and Luke sound so similar—and yet so different? In this episode, we take you inside the Synoptic situation to explore how these three Gospels fit together, where their accounts overlap, and why their distinct voices matter. We’ll break down the major theories behind their relationship, clear up common misconceptions, and show how understanding the Synoptics deepens our confidence in the historical truth of Jesus’ life and ministry. This is a guided tour through one of the most fascinating—and faith-building—topics in New Testament studies.
