Episodes
Daily Bible Study-The Widow's Offering
The rich give impressive amounts. A widow drops in two small coins — everything she has to live on. Jesus says she gave more than all of them. Today we talk about the difference between giving out of surplus and giving out of sacrifice. (S7E23)
Saturday Reflection-Reflection: Am I Building on What Lasts?
This week moved through cleared temples, unanswerable questions, a coin with Caesar's face, resurrection, and robes without substance. Today, a Saturday pause to ask honestly: what am I building — and is it built on what actually lasts? (S7E22)
Daily Bible Study-Whose Son Is the Messiah?
Jesus asks the teachers a question about Scripture they can't answer without looking at Him differently. Then He warns the crowd about faith that's all robe and no root. Today we close Week 3 asking whether our visible faith matches what's actually underneath. (S7E21)
Daily Bible Study-Discussion About Resurrection
The Sadducees try to make resurrection look absurd with a hypothetical about seven brothers. Jesus reframes everything — and drops one of the most quietly stunning lines in Luke: God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. (S7E20)
Daily Bible Study-Taxes for Caesar
"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's — and give to God what is God's." A coin bears Caesar's image. You bear God's. Today we sit with one of Jesus' most brilliant responses and the question it leaves unanswered: what does God get back from you? (S7E19)
Daily Bible Study-Parable of the Evil Farmers
A landlord sends servants — then his own son — to collect from tenants who keep turning them away. The religious leaders immediately recognize the parable is about them. Today we ask: am I enjoying God's vineyard while keeping the owner at arm's length? (S7E18)
Daily Bible Study-The Authority of Jesus Challenged
The religious leaders ask Jesus by what authority He acts. He answers with a question they can't safely answer — and they go silent. Today we talk about the difference between looking for the safest answer and actually looking for the true one. (S7E17)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Clears the Temple
Jesus walks into the temple and drives out the merchants — not in anger, but as a deliberate act. Today we talk about what gets cleared out when Jesus walks in, and why He always fills the space with something better. (S7E16)
Saturday Reflection-What Is Jesus Walking Into in My Life?
This week took us from a rich man who couldn't let go, to Zacchaeus who let go of everything the moment Jesus came close — and ended with Jesus weeping at Jerusalem's gates. Today, a Saturday pause to ask: is there a room in my life I haven't let Him into yet? (S7E15)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus' Triumphal Entry
The crowd is celebrating. The Pharisees are offended. And Jesus is weeping over a city that doesn't recognize Him. Today we close Week 2 at the gates of Jerusalem — and ask whether we recognize Jesus when He draws near to us. (S7E14)
Daily Bible Study-The Parable of the Ten Servants
The master returns and checks on what his servants did with what he left them. One invested well. One buried his out of fear. Today we ask: what has God entrusted to me that I've been burying instead of investing? (S7E13)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus and Zacchaeus
He was too short to see over the crowd, so he climbed a tree. Jesus looked up, called him by name, and invited Himself to dinner. Today we talk about what happens when we go out of our way just to get close to Jesus — and He meets us there. (S7E12)
Daily Bible Study-A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight
The crowd tells him to be quiet. He shouts louder. Today we read about a blind beggar who refused to let social pressure keep him from his one chance — and the specific, honest request that changed everything. (S7E11)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Predicts His Death Again
For the third time in Luke, Jesus tells the disciples plainly what's coming. They still don't understand. Today we slow down and sit with what it means that Jesus walked toward the cross with full knowledge of what it would cost — and kept walking. (S7E10)
Daily Bible Study-The Rich Young Ruler
Today we sit with one of the most heartbreaking moments in Luke and ask: what is the one thing Jesus might name in my life? (S7E9)
Saturday Reflection: Where Is My Persistence Pointed?
This week moved through gratitude, the Kingdom already present, a persistent widow, a proud Pharisee, a humble tax collector, and children held up as the model of faith. Today, a Saturday pause to ask honestly: where is my persistence actually pointed right now? (S7E8)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Welcomes Little Children
The disciples try to send the children away. Jesus calls them back — and says this is what the Kingdom requires: come like a child. Today we close Week 1 asking what it would look like to come to God without pretense, without credentials, just coming. (S7E7)
Daily Bible Study-The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
Two men walk into the temple. One brings a résumé. One brings empty hands. Today we sit with one of the most pointed parables Jesus tells — about the posture that actually leaves us right with God. (S7E6)
Daily Bible Study-The Parable of the Persistent Widow
An unjust judge finally gives a widow justice — not out of righteousness, but because she won't stop coming. Today we talk about what persistent prayer actually looks like, and why not giving up keeps us close to God while we wait. (S7E5)
Daily Bible Study-The Day the Son of Man Is Revealed
Jesus describes His return like lightning across the sky — unmistakable, impossible to miss. Today we talk about the difference between anxious sign-watching and faithful, present-tense living while we wait. (S7E4)
Daily Bible Study-The Coming of the Kingdom
The Pharisees want to know when the Kingdom of God will arrive. Jesus says it's already here. Today we talk about what it looks like to stop waiting for the Kingdom to show up and start noticing that it already has. (S7E3)
Daily Bible Study-Ten Lepers Healed
Ten lepers were healed. Only one came back. Today we talk about the difference between receiving a gift and actually stopping to acknowledge where it came from — and what the one who returned received that the other nine didn't. (S7E2)
Saturday Reflection-Starting Fresh — What Does Faithfulness Look Like This Month?
A new season, a new month, and one honest question before we dive in: what does faithfulness actually look like for me in August — not in a dramatic sense, but in the small, daily sense? Today we set an intention for the month ahead. (S7E1)
S6E29 — Causing Others to Stumble & the Call to Forgive (Extended Teaching)
Today includes extended teaching beyond our usual five minutes. Jesus gives a sobering warning about leading others astray — and then, right alongside it, one of His hardest commands: forgive, even when it's repeated, even when it's hard. Tina expounds on what this passage means for how we treat both our influence and our offenses.📖 Scripture: Luke 17:1–4 (NLT)
Reflection: Month in Review — Faithfulness in Small Things
We made it to the last day of July. Today we look back over a full month in Luke — from the dinner table in chapter 11 to the mustard seed of faith in chapter 17 — and ask the one question that matters most: what has this month actually changed in how I'm living? (S6E31)
Daily Bible Study-Increase Our Faith
The disciples ask Jesus to increase their faith. His answer: you don't need more — you need to use what you already have. Today we talk about the difference between faith in your pocket and faith in the ground. (S6E30)
Daily Bible Study-Warnings About Sin and Forgiveness
Two hard words in four verses: take seriously your influence on others — especially the vulnerable — and be willing to forgive even seven times in a day. Today we talk about the weight of both. (S6E29)
Daily Bible Study-The Rich Man and Lazarus
Lazarus lay at his gate every day. The rich man simply never saw him. Today we read the only parable in the Gospels where a character is named — and ask who the Lazarus at our own gate might be. (S6E28)
Daily Bible Study-The Law and the Kingdom of God
The Pharisees mock Jesus — and He doesn't argue back. He simply says: "God knows your hearts." Today we talk about the gap between appearing righteous in public and what's actually true on the inside. (S6E27)
Daily Bible Study-The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
A dishonest manager is about to be fired — and acts quickly and decisively with what he has left. Jesus uses it to ask: why do people apply more urgency to earthly things than eternal ones? And closes with one of His most direct statements — you cannot serve both God and money. (S6E26)
Daily Bible Study- Saturday Reflection: Which Son Am I?
This week we counted the cost of discipleship and walked through three stories of the lost — sheep, coin, and son. Today, a Saturday pause to ask honestly: am I the one who needs to come home, or the one who stayed but stopped receiving the Father's love? (S6E25)
Daily Bible Study-The Lost Son, Part 2
The younger son came home. But the older son stood outside the party, gripping his record of faithful service — unable to enjoy a house he never left. Today we finish Luke 15 with the harder, quieter question: which son am I? (S6E24)
Daily Bible Study-The Lost Son, Part 1
He demanded his inheritance, wasted it, and ended up in a pigsty. When he finally came home — braced for a servant's welcome — his father ran toward him. Today we read the first half of the most famous parable Jesus ever told. (S6E23)
Daily Bible Study-The Lost Coin
A woman loses one coin, lights a lamp, and sweeps her whole house until she finds it. Today's parable is for those who haven't wandered dramatically — just gotten quietly, gradually lost without quite realizing it. (S6E22)
Daily Bible Study- The Lost Sheep
A shepherd leaves ninety-nine sheep to find one that wandered off. Today we open Luke 15 — the chapter of the lost — with a picture of a God who doesn't do cost-benefit analysis when one of His own goes missing. (S6E21)
Daily Bible Study-The Cost of Being a Disciple
Large crowds are following Jesus — and He turns around and tells them to count the cost. Salt that's lost its flavor is useless. Today we talk about what genuine discipleship actually requires, before enthusiasm fades. (S6E20)
Daily Bible Study-The Parable of the Great Feast
A man prepares a great feast — and every invited guest has a reasonable excuse not to come. Today we ask: what "reasonable excuse" might I be offering God right now, and is it actually as reasonable as it seems? (S6E19)
Saturday Reflection: Am I Walking Through the Narrow Door?
This week we covered small beginnings, the narrow door, a grieving Jesus, Sabbath rules vs. human need, and humility at the dinner table. Today, a Saturday pause to ask honestly: am I near the door, or through it? (S6E18)
Daily Bible Study- True Humility
Jesus watches dinner guests jockey for the best seats — and turns it into a teaching on the entire economy of the Kingdom. Today we talk about releasing the need to secure your own standing, and giving where there's no return. (S6E17)
Daily Bible Study-Healing on the Sabbath Again
Jesus heals a suffering man at a Pharisee's dinner — and the religious leaders go silent when He asks if they wouldn't do the same for their own child. Today, we talk about what happens when rules become more important than people. (S6E16)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus' Sorrow for Jerusalem
"How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks — but you wouldn't let me." Today we sit with one of the most tender moments in all of Luke: God grieving over people who won't come to Him. (S6E15)
Daily Bible Study-The Narrow Door
Someone asks Jesus if only a few will be saved. He doesn't answer the question — He makes it personal. Today we talk about the difference between being near the door and actually walking through it. (S6E14)
Daily Bible Study-The Mustard Seed and the Yeast
Two of the shortest parables Jesus tells — and two of the most encouraging. Today we open Week 3 with a reminder that the Kingdom grows from small, quiet faithfulness. Don't despise the small start. (S6E13)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Heals a Woman on the Sabbath
Eighteen years bound — and a religious leader more worried about rules than her freedom. Today we start a new week with a picture of what God's attention toward us actually looks like in practice. (S6E12)
Saturday Reflection-Reflection: What Am I Afraid Of?
This week traced one thread through worry, readiness, division, and repentance: fear, and where we look instead of to God. Today, a Saturday pause to name it honestly and bring it to Him. (S6E11)
Daily Bible Study-A Call to Repent
Tragedy isn't proof someone deserved it — and time isn't guaranteed for any of us. Today's passage, and the parable of the fig tree, is a call to repentance that doesn't wait. (S6E10)
Daily Bible Study-Interpreting the Times
We're good at reading the weather. Today Jesus asks why we're so much slower to read what's actually happening right in front of us — and what avoidance is really costing us. (S6E9)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Causes Division
"I have come to bring fire to the earth." Today we sit with one of the harder things Jesus says — that following Him honestly can create real friction, even in the closest relationships. (S6E8)
Daily Bible Study-Be Ready for the Lord's Return
What does faithfulness look like in the hours nobody's checking on you? Today's passage is about staying ready — not anxious, but attentive — and what it means to be found faithful when it counts. (S6E7)
Daily Bible Study-Don't Worry
Ravens don't farm. Wildflowers don't spin thread. Today Jesus makes His case for why worry adds nothing — and why "wherever your treasure is, there your heart will also be" runs the opposite direction we usually assume. (S6E6)
Daily Bible Study-The Parable of the Rich Fool
"You fool — you will die this very night." A family dispute over an inheritance becomes Jesus' doorway into a story about barns, planning, and what life is actually measured by. Today we start a new week asking where our sense of "enough" is really rooted. (S6E5)
Daily Bible Study-Saturday Reflection: What's Hidden in Me?
This week we looked at the difference between what's visible and what's true underneath — at a dinner table, in a hard conversation about influence, and in Jesus' teaching on fear. Today, a Saturday pause to sit honestly with what God already knows about us. (S6E4)
Daily Bible Study-A Warning Against Hypocrisy
Sparrows. Hairs on your head. Nothing about you is too small for God to notice — and nothing needs to stay hidden from Him. Today we talk about fear, hypocrisy, and the freedom of being fully known. (S6E3)
Daily Bible Study-Woe to the Experts in Religious Law
"You remove the key to knowledge from the people." Today's passage is a hard one — about influence, and whether the way we represent God opens doors for others or quietly closes them. (S6E2)
Daily Bible Study-A Dinner Invitation and a Warning to Religious Leaders
Jesus is invited to dinner — and almost immediately, He's challenging His host on something deeper than table manners. Today we open Season 6 with a question about the difference between cleaning up the outside and what's actually going on inside. (S6E1)
Daily Bible Study-The Sign of Jonah
As June comes to a close, Jesus points to people who responded rightly with far less evidence than we've been given — and asks a piercing question about light and darkness within us. Today's episode is about whether what we've heard this month is actually becoming light in how we live. (S5E30)
Daily Bible Study-A House Divided Cannot Stand
After an undeniable miracle, the crowd looks for a reason to dismiss it. Today we talk about our posture toward what God is doing — are we looking for reasons to receive it, or reasons to explain it away? (S5E29)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Teaches His Disciples to Pray
"Lord, teach us to pray." Today we open Luke 11 and look at the simple, honest prayer Jesus gives His disciples — and His invitation to keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking, because our Father is good. (S5E28)
Daily Bible Study-Saturday Reflection: Am I All In?
This week was all about cost — the "firsts" we hold onto, being sent without a safety net, redefining who our neighbor is, and choosing presence over busyness. Today we pause and ask: where is God asking me to be all in? (S5E27)
Daily Bible Study-Mary and Martha
Martha's frustrated, Mary's sitting at Jesus' feet, and Jesus gently names what's really going on. Today's episode is for anyone whose life feels like Martha's kitchen — busy, worried, full of details — and needs permission to just sit with Him. (S5E26)
Daily Bible Study-The Parable of the Good Samaritan
"Who is my neighbor?" is the wrong question. Today we walk through one of Jesus' most familiar parables and discover He's not asking us to define a category — He's asking us to become one. Mercy in action, not just agreement. (S5E25)
Daily Bible Study-The Return of the Seventy-Two
The disciples come back rejoicing over what they did — and Jesus redirects their joy. "Rejoice that your names are registered in heaven." Today's episode is about rooting our identity in belonging to God, not in our last win or setback. (S5E24)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Sends Out Seventy-Two
"The harvest is great, but the workers are few." Jesus sends seventy-two disciples out with almost nothing — no money, no backup plan, just a message and an identity. Today we talk about being sent even when we feel under-resourced. (S5E23)
Daily Bible Study-The Cost of Following Jesus
Three people tell Jesus they'll follow Him — "but first…" Today we open a new theme with Jesus drawing a clear line between admiration and commitment. If you've ever had a "first" standing between you and full obedience, this episode is for you. (S5E22)
Daily Bible Study-Opposition in Samaria
Jesus "resolutely set out for Jerusalem" — knowing exactly what awaited Him there. When a village rejects Him, His disciples want to call down fire. He simply moves on. Today we start a new week talking about rejection, resolve, and not every "no" requiring a fight. (S5E21)
Daily Bible Study-Saturday Reflection: Who Do I Say Jesus Is?
This week was all about one question: "Who do you say I am?" From feeding the five thousand to the Transfiguration to redefining greatness, every story pointed back to Jesus Himself. Today, we pause and ask — not who we've been told He is, but who we say He is, based on how we've actually experienced Him. (S5E20)
Daily Bible Study-Who Is the Greatest?
Right after Jesus talks about laying down His life, His disciples argue about who's the greatest. His response? He puts a child beside Him. Today we talk about status, recognition, and what real greatness looks like in God's eyes. (S5E19)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy
Straight from the glory of the mountain, Jesus walks into chaos — a desperate father, a son convulsing, disciples who already failed. And he doesn't hesitate. Today's episode is for anyone who feels like they need to be "spiritually ready" before bringing their hardest situation to God. (S5E18)
Daily Bible Study- The Transfiguration of Jesus
Peter sees Jesus in glory and immediately wants to build something to stay there. But God's voice from the cloud says something different: "Listen to him." Today we talk about mountaintop moments — and why they're meant to send us back down, not keep us up there. (S5E17)
Daily Bible Study-Peter's Declaration About Jesus
Jesus asks His disciples two questions back to back — and only one of them really matters. "Who do the crowds say I am?" is easy. "But who do YOU say I am?" requires everything. Today we sit with Peter's answer and ask ourselves the same question. (S5E16)
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
You feed them." That's Jesus' response to an impossible math problem. Today we open Luke 9 and watch five loaves and two fish become more than enough for 5,000 people — with leftovers. If what you're holding feels too small for the need in front of you, this episode is for you. (S5E15)
Daily Bible Study-Sent and Equipped
Jesus never sends His people out empty. In today's Sunday episode, we step into Luke 9, where Jesus gives the disciples power and authority, tells them to travel light, and sends them out. And a question surfaces that has been building all week: Who is this man? Five minutes in Luke 9:1–9 (NLT) with Tina Combs.
Saturday Reflection-Rebuilding: Community, Growth, and Finding My Voice Again
Ever feel like the ground shifted under you — and you're not sure how to rebuild? This week, we walked through Luke 8 and the theme of "What kind of soil am I?" Today, I'm getting personal: the loss of community I've experienced, what it's taught me about starting over, and why growth often happens quietly underground before it ever shows up as fruit. I'm also sharing
Daily Bible Study-Daughter
She had been bleeding for twelve years. She came to Jesus quietly, from behind, hoping not to be noticed. And He stopped — called her Daughter — and would not let her stay invisible. In today's episode, two desperate people and one Jesus who does not miss a single one. Five minutes in Luke 8:40–56 (NLT) with Tina Combs.
Daily Bible Study-The Man No One Could Help
He lived in tombs. He had been in chains. The whole town had given up on him. And Jesus crossed a lake specifically to reach him. In today's episode, we watch Jesus walk toward the one person everyone else walked away from — and we're reminded that our testimony is someone else's doorway to hope. Five minutes in Luke 8:26–39 (NLT) with Tina Combs.
Daily Bible Study-Jesus Calms the Storm
He led them straight into the storm. And then He fell asleep. In today's episode, the disciples face a violent squall on the lake — and Jesus wakes up, speaks once, and everything goes calm. Then He asks them the question He may be asking you today: where is your faith? Five minutes in Luke 8:22–25 (NLT) with Tina Combs.
Daily Bible Study-A Lamp on a Stand
Truth received is meant to shine through a life lived. In today's episode, Jesus teaches that no one lights a lamp just to hide it — and that how we listen to God's Word determines how much we understand. Plus: Jesus redefines what it means to be family. Five minutes in Luke 8:16–21 (NLT) with Tina Combs.
Daily Bible Study-What Must I Do to Be Saved?
What does the Bible actually say about salvation? Not opinions, not traditions — just Scripture. In today's episode, we walk through the five steps of conversion found throughout the New Testament: hearing the Word, believing, repenting, confessing Jesus to others, and being baptized. Every step is grounded in Scripture, from Romans 10:17 to Acts 2:38 to 1 Peter 3:21. Whether you are a longti
Daily Bible Study-The Parable of the Sower
Jesus told a story about a farmer scattering seed, but He was really telling a story about us. Four types of soil. Four conditions of the heart. And an invitation to ask honestly: what kind of soil am I? The good news is that hard ground can be broken up, and roots can grow deeper than you know. Join Tina Combs for today's 5-minute study in Luke 8:4–15 (NLT).
Daily Bible Study-Saturday Reflection — Where Is My Faith Pointing?
Saturday is our day to stop, look back, and let the week's Scripture settle deeper. This week, we walked through faith that amazed Jesus, compassion that raised the dead, doubt that was met with evidence, extravagant love born from forgiveness, and women who turned their healing into a mission. Today's reflection question: Where is your faith pointing? Join Tina Combs for the Week 1 Saturd
