  • Why the Trinitarian Heresies Don't Work
    Mar 31 2026

    In this final episode of the Trinity series we trace the doctrine from its Old Testament roots to its full flowering in the New Testament. Using key passages—Jesus’ baptism, the Great Commission, John 1, John 14–16, and 2 Corinthians 13:14—we see the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit acting together as distinct persons yet one God.

    The episode also explains why common misunderstandings (modalism, Arianism, partialism) conflict with Scripture, and offers practical clarity for Christians wrestling with the mystery of God’s nature. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes on the resurrection and a mini-series on AI and contemporary issues.

  • The Trinity in the Old Testament
    Mar 17 2026

    This episode traces the doctrine of the Trinity back into the Old Testament, examining passages like Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 63, Psalm 78, Genesis 19, Daniel 7, and Psalm 110 to show how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are present and distinct yet one.

    Hosts explain concepts such as the "two powers in heaven," the angel of the Lord as the pre-incarnate Son, and how Old Testament theology leads into New Testament revelation.

  • The Trinity: The Most Misunderstood Concept in Christianity
    Mar 3 2026

    This episode explains the doctrine of the Trinity—what it is, why it matters, and why common analogies fail. You’ll hear a clear working definition: one being, three co-equal and co-eternal persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), plus why the doctrine is rooted in Scripture and not a contradiction.

    The host also points to resources for further study, previews a follow-up on Old Testament foundations, and offers ways to ask questions or join the conversation.

  • The Angel of the Lord — Is It the Pre‑Incarnate Jesus?
    Feb 24 2026

    In this episode of The Universe Next Door we examine the biblical figure called the "angel of the Lord," surveying key Old Testament scenes (the burning bush, Jacob's wrestling, and Abraham and Isaac) to argue that this figure is specifically the pre‑incarnate second person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ.

    We explain how "angel" functions as a messenger term without diminishing God, why the figure disappears after the Incarnation, and the theological significance of these appearances as preparation for Jesus and his atoning work.

  • Old Wineskins, New Wine: What Jesus Really Meant
    Jan 27 2026

    In this episode we unpack Jesus’ image of new wine and old wineskins, showing how first-century legalism distorted God’s intent and why Jesus introduced a new way of relating to God.

    We then connect that teaching to today, warning against the misuse of Scripture for political agendas—whether on Israel, segregation, or Christian nationalism—and urging listeners to be discerning and faithful to the true message of the gospel.

  • The Christmas Timeline: When Was Jesus Really Born and Who Were the Magi?
    Dec 16 2025

    In this episode of The Universe Next Door we trace the Christmas narrative across Matthew and Luke, highlighting genealogy differences, the angels’ announcements to Mary and Joseph, and the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant (throne, house, kingdom).

    We unpack the timing and identity of the Magi and propose a compelling birth date for Jesus—September 11, 3 BC—drawing on Revelation 12 and astronomical signs.

    The Genealogy episode has vanished, here's another one on Santa Claus:
