52: The Story of Scripture – Genesis 14-19

In this episode of the Bible Reading Recap Podcast, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss one of the central promises in Scripture.

What is a covenant? What was happening in this covenantal ceremony? What does this have to do with Jesus?

51: The Story of Scripture – Genesis 4-13

In this episode of the Bible Reading Recap, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the sweeping stories of Genesis 4-13.

Outside of Eden, there are rival brothers, cosmic floods, rebellious towers, and much more. But throughout these stories within our Story, one thing remains the same: the grace and faithfulness of God.

50: The Story of Scripture – Genesis 1-3

What is the point of Genesis? What questions should we ask and how does that affect how we read and apply this foundational book of the Bible?

In this episode of the Bible Reading Recap, the Story of Scripture begins with the Pattern of the Kingdom of God in Genesis 1 and 2: God’s people in his place, with his presence. But it doesn’t last long. Given a choice, Adam and Eve choose to define good and evil on their own terms, and the kingdom is perished.

Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss Genesis 1-3. How to read, study, and apply these chapters that are the background and foundation of the Bible Reading Plan in 2025.

49: Bible Reading Recap – John 16 - 21, Psalm 23, & Psalm 1

The final episode of the Bible Reading Recap for 2024!

Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester contemplate not only the power of the final chapters in the gospel of John, but what God has done for each of them through his Word in 2024. 

48: Bible Reading Recap – John 11-15 & Psalm 27

On this episode of the Bible Reading Recap, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the final sign of Jesus in the Gospel of John.

His deity is displayed when he resurrects his friend from death, and yet he is also the God who washes the feet of his followers and lays down his life for the world. 

47: Bible Reading Recap: John 6 - 10 & Psalm 104

On this episode of the Bible Reading Recap, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester continue discussing the Gospel of John.

Jesus performs more signs, gives more I Am statements, and many more Old Testament references . . . all leading to the astonishing claim that he is the very presence of God on earth.

46: Bible Reading Recap – John 1-5 & Psalm 19

On this episode of the Bible Reading Recap, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the final book in the reading plan for 2024, the gospel of John!

The apostle John's gospel is unique amongst the four gospels in its emphasis on the divinity of Jesus.

The one who was in the beginning, Creator of all, the very place where heaven meets earth . . . and also compassionate, generous, and personal with all he encounters.

45: Bible Reading Recap – Revelation 17-22

On this episode of the Bible Reading Recap Podcast, we are at the end of not only the book of Revelation, but the end of the entire Biblical Story.

Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the future, eternal promises depicted in these final chapters.

The thousand year reign, the new Jerusalem that is also a temple, no more sea, sun, or suffering.

What does it all mean and how we can live in light of this future hope?

44: Bible Reading Recap – Revelation 12-16 & Psalm 11

In this episode of the Bible Reading Recap, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss how God's Word reveals the spiritual battle between good and evil that has been raging since before Eden and continues to rage today.

Satan has lost, definitively, thought the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, but he still prowls, seeking to deceive and devour.

How can we recognize the beast in our own culture, endure the tensions of the already-not-yet, and rest in the hope of future and final judgment?

43: Bible Reading Recap – Revelation 7-11 & Psalm 95

A 144,000 person army, the 7th seal and 7 trumpets, 2 witnesses, 4 angels, and lots of questions.

What do all of these numbers and symbols mean and how do we understand how to respond faithfully to God's Word? 

In this episode, Ted Ryksoksi, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the heart of Revelation and its connection to the rest of the New Testament.
