In this episode, Webb Simpson, Ben Crane, and William Kane unpack Matthew 5:31–32 and Jesus’ teaching on marriage and divorce from the Sermon on the Mount.

In this episode the guys consider Christianity’s most essential truth— Jesus Christ. By unpacking Galatians 4:4-5, we discover that Jesus is fully God and fully man.

In this episode the guys unpack Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 and King Solomon’s search for satisfaction.

What can we learn from him? That's what we'll discover in today’s episode.

In this episode the guys unpack Romans 3:9-20. That passage tells us the sobering news that we are all sinners both by nature and by choice. No part of us is untouched by sin.

All this sets the stage for God’s redemption.

Above all earthly creatures, humanity alone is fit to have dominion over God’s creation because of our unique intellectual, moral, and spiritual capacities.

In this episode, the guys unpack James 5:12-20. In these verses, James gives his final instructions of his letter. In closing, he exhorts his readers to speak truthfully, to live lives of prayer, and to bring back their wandering brothers. All this is characteristic of the wholehearted, consistent life that God desires for His people.

In this episode, the guys unpack James 5:1-11. In these verses, James reassures his readers that Jesus is coming back. For the unbelieving rich who have oppressed believers and lived to indulge themselves, that means severe judgment. For Christians, that means blessing. In light of that reality, we are to wait patiently for the coming of the Lord, following in the footsteps of the people of God who came before us.

Welcome back to the Bible Caddie Podcast! In this Thanksgiving week episode, William Kane & Webb Simpson talk about decision making as a Christian.

In this episode, the guys unpack James 4:13-17. In these verses, James lays out the do’s and don’t’s of making plans. To leave God out of our plans is both foolish and arrogant. As Christians, we should plan with God in mind, depending on Him both to make and execute our plans.

In this episode, the guys unpack James 4:1-12. There’s hardly a more relevant passage in the entire Bible to help us navigate our conflicts with others and with God. These verses answer questions like— Where does conflict come from? How big of a deal is it? How does God respond to us in our conflicts? And when we find ourselves in conflict, what should we do to course correct?

In this episode, the guys unpack James 3:13-18. This passage contrasts worldly wisdom and Biblical wisdom. Worldly wisdom is from below and is even demonically influenced. It shows up in jealousy and selfish ambition. And over time, it produces bad fruit in our lives. Biblical wisdom, on the other hand, is from above, from God. It produces meekness in our hearts that expresses itself in good conduct. And it produces a harvest of righteousness.

In this episode, the guys unpack James 3:1-12. In these verses, James explains the power and danger of our speech. As Christians, our speech should be consistent with what we claim to believe. And yet, so often, our speech reveals that we have a divided heart. But the gospel gives us hope! Because Jesus died for our sins of speech, like every other sin, we can begin to put off our old way of speaking to and we can begin to honor the Lord and others with what we say.

In this episode, the guys unpack one of the most controversial passages in the New Testament, James 2:14-26. These verses shows us that true faith travels with works. It's not simply enough to say the right things or even to know the right things. If faith is genuine, it will ultimately result in action.

In this episode, the guys are joined by 5-time PGA Tour winner Jonathan Byrd. After some banter with J Byrd, the guys unpack James 2:1-13. In these verses, James instructs his readers not to show partiality. He then gives a number of reasons why this is incompatible with Biblical Christianity. Showing partiality contradicts God's character, ways, law, and judgment. If we are going to live wholehearted lives like James desires, we must reject partiality as well.

In this Bonus Coverage Episode, the guys discuss how we can fight sin in our lives. To fight sin effectively, we must come clean, enlist help, avoid temptation, resist temptation, and set our hearts on Jesus.

In this episode, after a Presidents Cup recap, the guys unpack James 1:19-27. In these verses, James instructs his readers how we are to relate to God's Word. Not only are believers to receive God's Word with meekness, but we are to be careful to put it into practice in our lives. When we do, God's blessing is sure to follow.

In this episode, Webb, Ben, and William are joined by special guest Bubba Watson. The guys talk all things Bubba, from Masters wins to life on the LIV Tour to the Presidents Cup to marriage and family. The episode culminates by unpacking and applying one of Bubba’s favorite Bible verses— Romans 15:7. It says, “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.”

In this episode in our series on the book of James, the guys unpack James 1:13-18. Trials often travel with temptations. And if we are not careful, we can be tempted to blame God. In this passage, James commands us not to do that, and he explains why we shouldn't temptations do not come from God. Quite the contrary, they originate with us. The unchanging God, on the other hand, only ever gives good gifts, the best of which is our salvation. Keeping these realities before us will enable us to remain faithful and steadfast under trial.

In this episode, in our series on the book of James, the guys unpack James 1:9-12. After offering basic instruction on how to respond to trials in general in James 1:2-8, James now addresses a specific trial or test that his readers are facing. Some are impoverished and others are rich. Though it may not appear this way on the surface, both of these conditions— adversity and prosperity— provide unique temptations. As a result, they must be treated with unique solutions. In James 1:9-12, James informs each group as to how they are to navigate their situation. And he offers wonderful motivation to the one who remains steadfast in his trial.

We are starting a new series today on the book of James. Over the next few months, our plan is to walk verse by verse through this short and straightforward, but sometimes controversial New Testament book. In the first episode of our series on the book of James, the guys unpack James 1:1-8. James, the half-brother of Jesus wrote to Jewish Christians scattered across the Roman Empire to instruct them how to handle the trials that they were facing. Although many of their trials are different than the ones we face, the way to approach trials remains the same. We are to count them all joy because God is using them to make us like Christ.

In this episode of the Bible Caddie Podcast, Webb and William are joined by special guest, Sean Martin, PGATour.com lead editor. In the first half of the episode, the guys recap the best stories from the 2024 season and make picks for the Tour Championship. In the second half of the episode, they unpack one of Sean’s favorite passages— Revelation 3:14-22. Though these instructions were given to Turkish Christians nearly 2,000 years ago, they are highly relatable to Christians in the West who face the temptation to put our trust in worldly comfort, accomplishment, and outward appearances.

In this episode of our series called Pillars: Verses to Build Your Life On, the guys are joined by Pastor David Gibson from Aberdeen, Scotland to unpack Psalm 23. In this short but profound chapter, we are told who the LORD is and who He is for us. These verses comfort the weary, strengthen the weak, put courage into the fearful, and bolster us to face whatever may come our way. In the end, Psalm 23 reminds us that God is with us, pursuing us with His goodness and mercy until one day He brings us home.

In this episode of our series called Pillars: Verses to Build Your Life On, the guys unpack Philippians 4:6-7. Anxiety is more of a problem than it has ever been. Thankfully, God has given us clear instructions in His Word for how to combat. Instead of being anxious, we are to present all of our requests to God in prayer. When we do, He promises to provide us with His peace that goes beyond what we can comprehend. In this episode, we discuss what this means and how to do it.

In this episode of our series called Pillars: Verses to Build Your Life On, the guys unpack Jesus’ words from John 15:5. In these verses, Jesus tells us who He is and who we are in relation to Him. He is the vine, we are the branches. It is only as we stay connected to Him that we will bear fruit. The guys talk about what this means and how it happens.  Takeaways - Scottie Scheffler's impressive performance at the Olympics is a testament to his skill and clutch putting - Reading greens is an important but often overlooked skill in golf - When playing golf or engaging in any activity, we can glorify God by being humble, interested in others, and open to sharing our faith - The metaphor of the vine and branches in John 15:5 teaches us that our spiritual life and fruitfulness come from abiding in Christ - Apart from Christ, we can do nothing, but when we abide in Him, we bear much fruit Abiding in Christ involves aligning our desires with God's desires and finding joy in obeying Him. - The process of sanctification leads to the production of fruit in our lives, benefiting those around us. - Abiding in Christ is facilitated through His word, the gospel, the Holy Spirit, obedience, and prayer. - These practices lead to glorifying God and experiencing joy.

In this episode of our series called Pillars: Verses to Build Your Life On, the guys unpack one of the sweetest invitations in all of Scripture— Matthew 11:28-30.

By sharing their own personal reflections as well as thoughts from former teammates, coaches, and caddies, the guys honor Grayson as a player and a person. They also offer the hope of the gospel. Through Jesus Christ, we can know with certainty that our sins can be forgiven and that eternal life awaits us.

In this episode, the guys unpack Paul’s instructions for Christians to be strengthened with the Lord’s strength by putting on the whole armor of God. Because we are in a spiritual war, we need to daily be armed with the Word of God in general and the gospel of God in particular if we are going to stand against the schemes of the evil one. We also have special guest Brad Payne join us to talk about the PGA Championship, Scottie's arrest and other funny stories!

In this episode, the guys unpack Paul’s instructions for the workplace. In Ephesians 6:5-9, we see that light of the gospel, workers are ultimately to work for Christ, not their earthly bosses or masters. Christ is keeping close watch and will one day reward them. Similarly, bosses or masters ought to be aware that the Lord will one day judge their leadership, and He shows no partiality.

In this episode, the guys unpack Paul’s instructions for the home. How are Christians to parent? In Ephesians 6:1-4, we see that light of the gospel, children are to obey their parents who are strive not to provoke their children, but instead to train them and teach them in the way they should go.

In this bonus coverage episode, Ben and William take on the topic of first importance— the gospel! The gospel is the news of who Jesus is and what He has done to accomplish our salvation through His death and resurrection. We are to receive it by faith, to be daily strengthened by it, and to share it with others so that they might experience the salvation God offers!

In this episode, the guys are joined by their wives to walk through Ephesians 5:22-33, God’s instructions for marriage. They cover the sometimes challenging instruction for wives to submit to husbands and the equally challenging command for husbands to love their wives in the same way that Christ has loved us. Like so many other instructions in the Bible, when these commands are embraced and applied, they lead to our freedom and flourishing.

Scottie Scheffler, the 2022 and 2024 Masters Champion, joins the Bible Caddie podcast the day following his most recent victory. He discusses his recent Masters win and reflects on his performance. Scottie talks about the challenges of playing professional golf and the mental and strategic aspects of the game. He shares insights into his decision-making process and the role of his caddy, Teddy. Scottie also mentions the absence of his wife, Meredith, during the tournament and the importance of her support. Scottie shares his experience of winning the Masters and the support he received from his friends. He discusses the importance of finding his identity in Christ and not in his golf performance. Scottie emphasizes the significance of daily quiet time and reading God's Word to set his mind right and experience spiritual growth. He encourages listeners to prioritize their relationship with God and engage in Bible study and prayer. The conversation concludes with a reminder of God's faithfulness and the transformative power of His Word as they look at one of Scottie's favorite passages. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, the guys unpack Ephesians 5:1-21. These verses show us how we ought to walk through life as God’s beloved children. We are to walk in love, walk in the light, and walk in wisdom.

In this episode the guys ask, “Why do we call Good Friday ‘good’”? By considering the exchange that happens between Jesus and Barabbas, we see a real life parable of what Christ has done for those who believe.

In this episode the guys unpack Ephesians 4:7-16. This passage informs us how the church grows and what that growth should look like. They also discuss what kind of church we should be looking for and what our involvement in church should be.

The guys sit down with a men's ministry in Raleigh, NC called "Finding Purpose". Hundreds of men gather together to learn on how we are to become righteous before a holy God.

In this episode of the Bible Caddie podcast, the hosts celebrate Ben Crane's birthday and introduce special guest David Ford. They discuss their golfing experiences in Puerto Rico and Bay Hill, as well as make their picks for the tournaments. The conversation then transitions to a study of the book of Ephesians, focusing on the theme of walking worthy of the calling out of Ephesians 4:1-6. The hosts emphasize the importance of humility in the Christian life and how it is exemplified by Jesus. They explore the concept of humility and its significance in light of the gospel. In this conversation, the hosts discuss the importance of humility, gentleness, patience, and unity in the Christian walk. They highlight Jesus as the perfect example of humility and emphasize the need for believers to follow his example. The hosts recommend a book on humility and discuss practical ways to cultivate these virtues in relationships. They also explore the significance of unity in the body of Christ and the role of prayer in pursuing unity. The conversation concludes with a call to display unity as a testimony to the world.

Summary In this episode, William Kane is joined by Ben Crane, Webb Simpson, and special guest Ted Scott, one of the greatest caddies in the history of PGA Tour golf. Teddy shares about his relationship with Webb and tells jokes to kick off the conversation. Teddy discusses his journey to becoming a professional caddy and his passion for foosball and pickleball. He also shares memorable moments with golfers like Paul Azinger and Nick Price. In this part of the conversation, Teddy and Webb share fun memories of playing with Bubba Watson in team events.

In this episode, the guys unpack Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21. In these verses, Paul prays that the Ephesians would be strengthened with God’s power by His Spirit so that Christ would make His home in us, so that we could know deeply and profoundly how much He loves us, and so that the fullness of God would govern us and characterize us. What a prayer!

In this episode, the guys unpack Ephesians 3:1-13. In these verses, Paul communicates his unique role as an apostle. The mystery of the gospel was revealed to him so that he could preach the unsearchable riches of Christ, all of which has cosmic implications.

In this episode, the guys unpack Ephesians 2:11-22. In these verses, Paul commands the Ephesians to remember where they were apart from Christ— separated from Him and His people and His promises— and thus without God and without hope. And yet, Christ has won peace with God and others through His death on the cross. As a result, the Ephesians believers, and all who trust Christ, are citizens of God’s kingdom, members of His household, even His very dwelling place, because the work of Christ has been applied to our lives. 00:00 Introduction and PGA Tour Announcement 03:31 Negotiations with LIV Tour 07:45 Discussion about Pickleball 10:13 Preview of Pebble Beach Tournament 14:15Introduction to the Book of Ephesians 18:22 The Division between Jew and Gentile 25:00The Unity in Christ 33:30 The Cross as the Ultimate Unifier 36:45 Access to God and Unity 37:21 Peace with God and Others 39:30 Access to Exclusive Places 41:08 New Position in God's People 41:53 Citizenship and Membership in God's Household 43:56 The Church as the Temple of God 45:12 Identity in Christ 46:21 Access to God through Christ's Sacrifice

In today’s episode, we come to one of the most famous passages in the book of Ephesians, and the Bible. In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul reminds his readers and us about our condition before coming to know Christ. It was worse than we think. Then he will tell us just what it is that God has done for us. And it’s oh so much better than we can even understand. So that’s what we are looking at today. What has God done in the life of the Christian? And what can He do in your life if you’re not yet a Christian? 00:00 Introduction and Weather Update 02:14 Discussion on the Best Coach Ever 05:51 The Mental Side of Sports 08:01 Ben's Victory at Torrey Pines 12:42 Predictions for the Upcoming Tournament 13:01 Introduction to Ephesians 2 16:56 Our Condition Apart from Christ 30:46 But God: The Good News 33:21 Being Made Alive Spiritually 33:53 Receiving the Holy Spirit 36:03 The Gospel of Salvation 38:16 Seated with Christ 40:57 Saved by Grace 44:58 Created for Good Works

In these verses, Paul prays that the Holy Spirit would help the Ephesians believers to know God more, to know the hope to which they have been called, to know that they are God’s own inheritance, and to know the immeasurable power of God that is theirs in Christ. This prayer helps us know what to pray and to prioritize for ourselves and those we love. 00:00 Introduction and Weather Conditions 01:27 Appreciation for Coach and Golf Course Conditions 04:10 Discussion on Golf Techniques 07:11 The Impact of Doubles in Golf 08:00 Predictions for Golf Tournament 09:03 Impressive Performance by JT 11:41 Biblical Passage and Prayer 16:23 Dream Dinner Guests 17:41 Importance of Friendship 19:50 Finding Hope and Purpose in Jesus 23:07 Praying for Enlightened Hearts 25:32 Jesus as the Ultimate Source of Fulfillment 28:51 Understanding God's Grace 30:58 God's Love and Pride for His Children 31:20 The Power of God's Love in Christ

In this episode of our Advent series “What Child is This?”, the guys unpack John 1:10-13 by considering how we ought to respond to Jesus as the Word, the Light, and the Son. Because of who He is and what He has done, we ought to receive Him, to believe in His name. When we do, God gives us the right to become His very own children.

In this episode of our Advent series “What Child is This?”, the guys unpack John 1:14-18 by considering Jesus as the only Son of the Father. The baby in the manger is God the Son, the spitting image of God, the radiance of His glory, the One in whom the whole fullness of deity dwells in bodily form. And it is this Son who communicates to us what we need most— grace and truth.

In this episode of our Advent series “What Child is This?”, the guys unpack John 1:5-9 by considering Jesus as the Light of the World. The baby in the manger is the One who enlightens us as to who God is. He in the One reveals how God saves us. He is the One who illuminates things to show us what they really are. And He invites us to follow Him and find the light of life. Jesus is the Light of the World. 00:00 Introduction and Golf News 01:23 Webb Simpson Challenge 03:12 USGA's Golf Ball Rollback 05:31 Impact of Golf Ball Rollback 09:01 USGA's Leadership and PGA Tour's Response 10:02 Introduction to Advent Series 13:33 Jesus as the Light 19:20 Darkness and Light 23:26 Jesus Reveals God 26:57 Jesus Reveals Salvation 29:07 Jesus Reveals the Way of Life 33:09 Jesus Offers Light and Life 36:51 Jesus is the Light of the World 37:31 Final Thoughts Thanks for listening!

We are getting into the advent season. Advent is the few weeks each year leading up to Christmas where we remember and celebrate the Lord’s coming, and we look forward to His return. It’s a time to prepare our hearts for Christmas, to really meditate on and consider just what God has done in Jesus Christ. It’s a time to wonder and marvel and stand in awe of God. So that’s what we hope to do on the podcast the next few weeks. We want to slow down and understand and wonder, with God’s help, at the miracle of what God has done at Christmas.  In the spirit of the season, if we had to put a Christmas song title on this series, it would be this— “What Child is This?” That’s what we want to slow down and consider. Who is this baby in the manger? Who is He? And why is it such a big deal?  In order to answer that question, each of the next four weeks we will be spending our time in the introduction to John’s Gospel. In John 1:1-18, the apostle John introduces us to Jesus. And he does it by giving Him three different titles, three different names, names that show us who He is. We will spend one week on each of those names, and then our last week before Christmas, we will consider how we ought to respond to who He is. **Bible study portion starts at 12:00**

We are finishing up our series called “Who do you think you are?” Because our world is having an identity crisis, this entire fall, we have been considering the good news that Bible communicates about Christians. In Christ, we have a brand new identity. In the first 8 weeks of this series, we looked at different realities that have become true about those believe in Christ. In Christ, we are justified, redeemed, reconciled, adopted, new creations, members of His body, saints, and completely secure in Jesus. This is who we are. If you’re in Christ, this is where you should go for your sense of self worth! In the last few episodes we made a slight shift. Even we’ve continued with this same theme of our identity, instead of looking at realities that are already true of us, we are now looking at realities that ought to be true of us if we understand what Christ has done for us. We’ve seen that in light of who Jesus is and what He has done for us, we ought to be worshipers and disciples and servants of God and others. Today, as we close out this series on our identity, we are going to see that not only should we be worshipers and disciples and servants, but we should also be ambassadors, eager to share the good news of Jesus with others. **Bible study portion starts at 10:23**

We are continuing in our series called “Who do you think you are?” You don’t have to look long or far to realize that our world is having an identity crisis. Everywhere we look, people are on a constant search to figure out who they are, to define themselves, to make themselves significant or important. The good news for us is that the Bible has lots to say about who we are. It communicates that those of us who are in Christ have a brand new identity. In the first 8 weeks of this series, we’ve looked at different realities that have become true about those believe in Christ. Identity defining realities. In Christ, we are justified, redeemed, reconciled, adopted, new creations, members of His body, and saints. We are completely secure in Christ. This is who we are. In the last couple episodes we made a slight shift. Even though we are continuing with this same theme of our identity, instead of looking at realities that are already true of us, we are now looking at realities that ought to be true of us if we understand what Christ has done for us. Last week, we saw that in light of who Jesus is and what He has done for us, we ought to be disciples. By His Word and by His Spirit, we want to follow Him. Today, in light of those same realities, we are going to see that not only should we be disciples, we ought to be servants!

The good news for us is that the Bible has lots to say about who we are. It communicates that those of us who are in Christ have a brand new identity. So far, we’ve looked at different realities that have become true about those believe in Christ. Identity defining realities. Things that have happened to us or our happening to us that are not up for debate. Those of us who are in Christ have been justified— legally forgiven and declared righteous in God’s sight, we have been redeemed—set free from sin’s penalty and power, we have been reconciled— God has made us his friends. We have been adopted into God’s own family. He has made us new creations, giving us spiritual life. He has made us members of His household and citizens in His kingdom. He has made us saints, and because we are saints, we are being sanctified by Him, made more and more like Jesus. And in Him, as we saw in the last episode, we are eternally secure. God will keep us to the end. No one will snatch us out of His hand. All these things are true about our identity now. If you’re in Christ, they’re not up for debate. This is who we are. In our next four episodes, even though we are continuing with this same theme of our Identity in Christ, we are going to make a minor shift. Instead of looking at realities that are true of us, we are going to look at realities that ought to be true of us if we understand what Christ has done for us. What we should be pursuing or becoming in light of Christ’s work in our lives. Today we will see that for those who know and believe in Christ, we ought to be worshipers.

In this episode of Bible Caddie "Bonus Coverage", William walks through why we should read the Bible. On the last Bonus Coverage we talked about how the Bible makes some very strong claims. It claims to be breathed out by God (2 Timothy 3:16). It claims that the men who wrote were carried along by the Holy Spirit and produced exactly the words that God wanted them to (1 Peter 1:19-21). It claims that every single word in it proves true (Proverbs 30:5). And we are certainly treating it this way. Everything substantive that we’ve said in the last 40 episodes has come from the Bible. But is it trustworthy? Is it reliable? We found out that we can trust it completely! But why should we read it? Will it actually do anything? In today’s episode, William is going to give us 3 different reason that we should!

We are continuing in our series called “Who do you think you are?” You don’t have to look long or far to realize that our world is having an identity crisis. Everywhere we look, people are on a constant search to figure out who they are, to define themselves, to make themselves significant or important. The good news for us is that the Bible has lots to say about who we are. It communicates that those of us who are in Christ have a brand new identity. In this series, we’ve seen that the Bible says quite a bit about us both apart from Christ and once we are in a relationship with Jesus. It uses a number of metaphors to communicate what God has done for us in Christ, and what that means for our identity. So far we’ve seen that we are justified— legally forgiven and declared righteous in God’s sight, we’re redeemed—set free from sin’s penalty and power, we’re reconciled— God has made us his friends. We are adopted into God’s own family. He has made us new creations, giving us spiritual life. He has made us members of His household and citizens in His kingdom. And in the last episode we saw that He has made us saints. We are set apart for Him. And those He sets apart, He sanctifies. He makes us more like Jesus. Today, we will see that if we are in Christ, not only are we set apart, but we are secure. God will keep us.

We are adopted into God’s own family. He has made us new creations, giving us spiritual life. And in the last episode, we saw that our salvation is not simply individual, there is also a corporate element. Through Christ, we become members of God’s household, part of His people, fellow citizens with the saints in God’s Kingdom. There’s no more elite membership in the whole world. Today, we will consider from Scripture what it means to be a saint.

So far we’ve seen that we are justified— legally forgiven and declared righteous in God’s sight, we’re redeemed—set free from sin’s penalty and power, we’re reconciled— God has made us his friends. We are adopted into God’s own family. And in the last episode we saw that God doesn’t simply work in relationship to us, He works in us. For those of us who are in Christ, God has made us alive, He has given us spiritual life, He has caused us to be born again. The result is that we are new creations with new desires and new purposes with good works that God has prepared just for us to walk in. It is highly personal. Today, we are going to see that even though our salvation is intensely personal, it is not only personal. There is also a corporate element to our identity that is hugely meaningful.

We are a few weeks into a series called “Who do you think you are?” You don’t have to look long or far to realize that our world is having an identity crisis.

We’ve seen that we are justified— legally forgiven and declared righteous in God’s sight, we’re redeemed—set free from sin’s penalty and power, we’re reconciled— God has made us his friends. In our last episode, we saw that we are not just friends but adopted into God’s own family. In Christ, He has become our Father and we have access to Him and begin to take on the family likeness and even become His heirs. If you’ve noticed, each of these gospel metaphors has gotten more and more personal. That continues today as we look at the next reality of our identity in Christ where we will consider, in Christ, I Am a New Creation. **Bible study portion starts at 14:00**

Today, it gets even sweeter. We are going to find that in Christ we are adopted, made part of God’s own family. Memory Verse of the Week - 1 John 3:1a - "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are." **Bible study portion starts at 10:03**

A couple weeks ago we started a new series called “Who do you think you are?” You don’t have to look long or far to realize that our world is having an identity crisis. Everywhere we look, people are on a constant search to define themselves, to make themselves significant or important, to figure out who they are. The good news for us, as we’ve seen the last couple weeks, is that the Bible has lots to say about who we are. It communicates that those of us who are in Christ have a brand new identity. So in this series, our goal is to really consider what the Bible says about us. What does it say about us apart from Jesus? What does it say about us now that we are in a relationship with Jesus? Last week, we learned that in Christ, though we were once enslaved to both the penalty and power of sin, we have been bought by the blood of Jesus Christ, and now we belong to God! We are forgiven and free. We are redeemed. Today, we are going to see that in Christ, not only are we justified— legally forgiven and declared righteous in God’s sight, and redeemed—set free from sin’s penalty and power, we are also reconciled to God. Memory Verse of the Week - Colossians 1:21-22 **Bible study portion starts at 12:20**

Lucas Glover, his sweaty pants, the Ryder Cup, how to hit a hard tee shot with confidence and so many more things are talked about during the golf banter section of today's podcast! Stories you've never heard and also Ben claiming that Pickleball is the best sport on the planet... you're not going to want to miss this! Last week we started a new series called “Who do you think you are?” You don’t have to look long or far to realize that our world is having an identity crisis. Everywhere we look, people are on a constant search to define themselves, to make themselves significant or important, to figure out who they are. The good news for us is that the Bible has lots to say about who we are. It communicates that those of us who are in Christ have a brand new identity. So we are taking the next 10-12 episodes or so to really consider what the Bible says about us. What does it say about us apart from Jesus? What does it say about us now that we are in a relationship with Jesus? Last week, we learned that in Christ, though we were once guilty, deserving and awaiting God’s judgment, we are completely forgiven of all sin, declared righteous with Jesus’ own righteousness, and God Himself relates to us on that basis. We are justified. This is who we are! Today, we are going to see that not only are we justified, but we are redeemed. Real quick— this term redemption can be used broadly to describe all of what happens in salvation. Or it can be used narrowly, to talk about the act of being freed from sin and Satan and death. That’s how we are going to approach it today. Romans 6 will be our home base for this study. **The Bible study portion of the podcast starts at 13:15**

In the first episode of a new season called "Who Do You Think You Are", the guys walk through Romans 3:9-26 where we find that apart from Jesus, we are guilty before God the Judge, but through His grace in Christ, we are forgiven and made righteous in His sight.

We are starting a new bonus series called "Bonus Coverage!" We won't post these on a regular schedule but will share different bonus episodes when we think there is a topic that needs an extra episode to share specific thoughts on the matter. In this episode of Bible Caddie "Bonus Coverage", William walks through ten reasons why we can trust the Bible. The Bible makes some very strong claims. It claims to be breathed out by God (2 Timothy 3:16). It claims that the men who wrote were carried along by the Holy Spirit and produced exactly the words that God wanted them to (1 Peter 1:19-21). It claims that every single word in it proves true (Proverbs 30:5). And we are certainly treating it this way. Everything substantive that we’ve said in the last 40 episodes has come from the Bible. But is it trustworthy? Is it reliable? In today’s episode, I want to give you ten reasons that have helped convince me.

Over the last 38 Episodes, we’ve been doing our best to introduce Jesus to our listeners or to help each of us get to know Him better. And today, we come to our last week really zooming in on who Jesus is and what He’s done. We’ve seen what He did, how He came, what He taught, what He claimed, why He died, and then last week, we saw that He really did rise from the dead. The facts, the evidence really does point us to the Bible’s explanation— Jesus physically rose from the dead on the third day after His death.  Today I want us to ask, so what? Why is it such a big deal that Jesus is alive? What does it mean in general? And what does it mean for us? That’s what we’re talking about today. Five Big Implications of Jesus Resurrection!

Well, we’ve been on quite a journey over the last 37 or so episodes. We have been doing our best to look at Jesus from a number of angles. What was He like? What did He do? What did He teach? What did He claim? And then most recently, why did He die? And we saw that even though Jesus was killed by His opponents, apparently it was all according to God’s plan. And He was accomplishing all kinds of glorious things as we’ve seen in the last couple episodes. But in these next couple of episodes, we come to a major moment in the life of Jesus; the major hinge point in Christianity. His resurrection!  And this couldn’t be a bigger deal. Listen to what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:17-19— 17 “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.” He’s saying if Jesus was not raised, if He didn’t physically, bodily, come back from death, Christianity is useless. So today we need to ask, did it really happen? Was Jesus really raised from the dead? Here’s how we are going to answer that question. We are going to loosely follow the method of a scholar named Gary Habermas who uses what he calls the minimal facts argument. In 2,000 years following the death and resurrection of Jesus, there have been roughly six alternative explanations that have really stuck of what happened to the body of Jesus. Almost every natural or secular explanation for the resurrection, comes back to one of these six. So using Scripture and history, we want to put each of these alternative explanations on trial, and show that the Bible’s explanation of Jesus’ resurrection is the best one. Our hope in this episode is to give us confidence that Jesus really is alive. He really did rise from the dead.  Jesus is alive! The Bible’s explanation really is the best explanation! Yes it’s supernatural. But friends, God is supernatural. Jesus, who is God, really did live as one of us. And after His death, He really was raised. Physically, bodily, forever.

We are in our fifth and final week of asking, “Why did Jesus Die?”. His entire life had been moving to this point of His death. This was the reason why He came. In our first week asking this question, we saw that Jesus didn’t just die, He was killed. In our second week, we saw that Jesus wasn’t simply killed, He was laying down His life. Then, we saw that Jesus wasn’t just laying down His life, He was fulfilling Scripture. And then last week, we saw that Jesus was not simply fulfilling Scripture, He was taking our place. On that cross, He was bearing the punishment that we deserve. For those who believe, Jesus’ death saves us from God’s judgment, which we all deserve for our sin. This week, we peel back another layer and we are going to see that God is not simply saving us from something, He is saving us to something. Jesus was dying for us to show God’s love for us and to extend His grace to us, all for His glory. That’s where we are going today. And we will primarily get there through four short passages— Romans 3:21-26, Romans 5:6-8, 1 John 4:8b-10, 1 John 5:11-13.

We are in our fourth week of asking, “Why did Jesus Die?”. His entire life had been moving to this point of His death. This was the reason why He came. In our first week asking this question, we saw that Jesus didn’t just die, He was killed. In our second week, we saw that Jesus wasn’t simply killed, He was laying down His life. Last week, we saw that Jesus wasn’t just laying down His life, He was fulfilling Scripture. It was all according to plan. This week, we peel back another layer of the onion, and we are going to see that Jesus was not simply fulfilling Scripture, He was taking our place. On that cross, He was bearing the punishment that we deserve. We saw this hinted at at the end of our episode last week in those famous verses from Isaiah 53. “5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” In some way, this death was for our transgressions. For our iniquities. For our sin. He was taking our place. We’ll see how this works today in a few different passages, but we will start in Matthew 26:36-46.

This week on Bible Caddie, we continue to answer the question “Why Did Jesus Die?” In this episode we peel back another layer of what was really going on that Friday in April. Today we are going to see that Jesus wasn't simply killed, He was laying down His life. And He wasn’t just laying down His life, He was dying according to plan. His death was a fulfillment of Scripture.

We are in our second week of a new segment in looking at Jesus Christ. We’ve looked at what He did, and how He came, and what He taught, and what He claimed, and now we are asking, “Why Did He Die?” His entire life had been moving to this point of His death. And last week, we saw that He didn’t just die, He was killed. The religious leaders hated Him because He undermined their institutions, exposed who they really were, and threatened their power and influence among the people. So they stirred up the crowd, and they persuaded the Roman authorities. And on Passover weekend 33 AD, they killed Jesus of Nazareth by nailing Him to a Roman cross. Today, we peel back another layer of the onion of what was really going on that Friday in April, and we are going to see Jesus wasn’t just killed, He was laying down His life. We are going to look primarily at two passages this morning. John 10:11-18, where Jesus explicitly says this, and John 18:1-11 where it becomes crystal clear just what He is doing. Join us on this journey!

We are starting a new series today that will get us through the next six weeks are so. And everything we have talked has been leading us to these next few weeks. We’ve asked what was Jesus like? What did He do? What did He teach? And what did He claim? And we’ve seen some pretty amazing stuff. But starting today we are asking, “Why Did He Die?” I’m sure that most listeners know that as a relatively young man, somewhere around Webb and I's age, Jesus’ life was taken from Him. The next few weeks we want to ask, “Why?” What happened? What did it mean? What did it accomplish? I’m sure many people know this already, but Christianity hinges on how we answer these questions. So here’s how we’ll do it. We are going to peel back one layer of the onion at a time. We are going to start toward the surface, and then each week, we will peel back one layer and go deeper into the Bible says so that we really understand what the Bible teaches about Jesus’ death. Here’s what we are going to see in this first week— Jesus didn’t simply die, He was killed. Today, I want us to see why that happened and how that happened.

What we want to do on today's episode is a little different. Instead of recapping each of these I Am claims, before we move on from this topic of what Jesus claimed, today I want to quickly look at a few other claims that Jesus made in the Gospels. Think of it as like a Bible Caddie Top 10. Our hope is that you wouldn’t view Jesus a good teacher. He’s so much more. So let’s do our Top 10 count down of Jesus’ claims.

Today we are looking at the last of Jesus’ I Am statements in the Gospel of John. The last six weeks we’ve been asking, “What did He claim?” We’ve seen so far that Jesus made a number of huge claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. Today, in John 15, we come to Jesus’ final I Am Statement, the last of these seven claims in this book. In this passage, Jesus offers His last I am statement by communicating that He is the vine and people are branches. We are to abide in Him and He in us so that as His disciples we might bear fruit for God’s glory and our joy.

We are in week 6 of Jesus’ I Am statements from the Gospel of John. As we aim to get to know Jesus better, we are asking, “What did He claim?” We’ve seen so far that Jesus made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. Today, in John 14, we come to probably the most famous of all the I Am Statements. In this passage, Jesus claims to be the way, the truth, and the life, and the only way to the Father. This is comforting and clear. And it demands our belief.

We are four weeks into Jesus’ I Am statements from the Gospel of John. We are trying to get to know Him better, so we are asking, What did He claim? As we’ve seen so far, Jesus made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. Today, in John 11, we come to one of the most shocking claims of all. We’ve got a big chapter, so here is how we will approach it. Instead of reading it all up front, we will take it scene by scene. In a beautiful act of love, Jesus demonstrated His glory through His words, His emotions, and ultimately, through raising Lazarus from the dead, all in order that He might reveal who He is and that many might believe that He is the Resurrection and the Life, the Christ, the Son of God, and by believing have life in His name.

As we continue to look at Jesus Christ in an effort to get to know Him better, we are a few weeks into our new season asking the question, “What did Jesus claim?” He made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. We’ve already heard Him claim in the Gospel of John that He is the Bread of Life and the Light of the World. Last week, Jesus jumped into a metaphor about shepherds and sheep. He claimed “I am the Door”, the only way into God’s pasture of safety and security and life. This week, we pick up right where we left off in the Gospel of John, in Chapter 10 verse 11 with His fourth I Am statement. In this passage, Jesus claims to be the Good Shepherd, God’s very own representative, even God Himself, who has come to gather His flock. This is only possible because He will laid down His life for His sheep, only to take it up again that He might lead us and care for us for eternity. In short, salvation and life are only ever possible through Him!

We are a couple weeks into our news season asking the question, “What did Jesus claim?” He made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. We’ve already looked at a couple of the “I Am” statements from the Gospel of John. Today we turn our attention to the third of those “I Am” Statements which comes in John 10.

We are one week into a new season of Bible Caddie, still making it our aim to get to know Jesus. And for the next few weeks we are asking, “What did Jesus claim?” He made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. The claims we are looking at are Jesus’ “I Am” statements from the Gospel of John— which are some of His most significant. Our hope is that those of you who haven’t made up your mind about Jesus yet would see who He is and trust Him. And that those of you who already believe would be strengthened in your grasp of who Jesus is. Last week, we saw Jesus claim to be the bread of life— the one who provides nourishment and satisfaction and life for His people. Today, we turn our attention  to Jesus’ second “I Am” statement. We’ll pick up reading at the end of John 7 and read through the first part of John 8.

Jesus made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. Over the next eight weeks, we will be  looking at Jesus’ “I Am” statements from the Gospel of John— some of His most significant claims. Our hope is that those of you who haven’t made up your mind about Jesus yet would see who He is and trust Him. And that those of you who already believe would be strengthened in your grasp of who Jesus is. Thanks for listening!

So we’ve looked at a number of His parables. Parables are extended analogies that help us understand a truth. And they can be categorized in a number of ways. Some are commentaries on the kingdom of God. Others communicate the ethic of the kingdom of God. Our last few have done that. For example, last week, in the parable of the Unforgiving Servant, we saw that in God’s kingdom, because we have been so generously forgiven by our King, it is not only appropriate but necessary for us to forgive others from our hearts. Some parables instruct us how to live. And all Jesus’ parables are meant to elicit a response in us. In this episode, Ben, Webb, and William recap what was covered in season 3 and get practical about what Jesus' teaching looks like in their own lives.

Some parables instruct us how to live. And all Jesus’ parables are meant to elicit a response in us. This week, we will close out this season on what Jesus taught by considering a parable that encourages us to live a certain way while at the same time offering some weighty truths about who Jesus is and what He will do. Today, we are looking at one final parable in Matthew 25:14-30— the Parable of the Talents. This parable teaches us that when Jesus returns, He will call us to account for how we have managed all that He has given us. As a result, we are to steward all that we are and all that we have for God’s kingdom and purposes. At the inevitable return of Christ, it will pay off!

Our goal in this season of the podcast is to continue to get to know Jesus better, and we are doing that over these next few weeks by asking, “What did He teach?” So we are looking at a number of His parables. Parables are extended analogies that help us understand a truth. As one author says, they are “stories with intent.” Last week, in the parable of the Good Samaritan, we saw that we are to love all people, especially those in need. Today, we will continue with our theme of life in the Kingdom as we consider the topic of forgiveness. In this episode we will see that in God’s kingdom, because we have been so generously forgiven by our King, it is not only appropriate but necessary for us to forgive others from our hearts.

Parables are extended analogies that help us understand a truth. As one author says, they are “stories with intent.” Our progression has been this: We started by seeing the treasure that the Kingdom of God really is, then we considered what the heart of God really is like, we looked at how to be made right with God and come back under His rule and into His Kingdom, and then last week, we made a shift toward some parables about the ethic of the kingdom. How life works in the kingdom of God. And we saw that we are to build our lives on the words of Christ. And we are to build our lives on prayer. We saw last week that we can come boldly and shamelessly to the Lord. Today, we will be in Luke 10:25-37, in one of the most famous parables, we will see what it looks like to live a life of love.

Today, we will be in Luke 11:1-13, considering what Jesus taught about prayer.

We are continuing to get to know Jesus better as we start the new year, and we are doing that over these next few weeks by asking, “What did He teach?” So we will look at a number of His parables. Parables are extended analogies that help us understand a truth. As one author says, they are “stories with intent.” Our progression has been this: We started by seeing the treasure that the Kingdom of God really is (hidden treasure/pearl), then we considered what the heart of God really is like (prodigal son), then last week, we looked at how to be made right with God and come back under His rule and into His Kingdom (Pharisee and Tax Collector). Now, we are going to shift toward some parables about the ethic of the kingdom. How life works in the Kingdom of God. And we are going to do that by looking at the parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders in Matthew 7:24-27.

We are continuing to get to know Jesus better as we start the new year, and we are doing that over these next few weeks by asking, “What did He teach?” So we will look at a number of His parables. Parables are extended analogies that help us understand a truth. As one author says, they are “stories with intent.” Last week, we looked at the parable of the Prodigal Son. We saw in that parable that there are two kinds of lostness— outright rebellion and so-called righteous living that seeks to put God in our debt. We saw the need to return to God and to rejoice when others return to God. And perhaps most of all, we saw the heart of God. That parable shows us what God is actually like. He is a graciously extravagant Father, who rejoices when lost sinners come home. So that parable shows us in a way how God yearns for us to be right with Him. The parable we are looking at today shows us how that might happen; how we can be made right with God. We will be in Luke 18 looking at the story of the Pharisee and Tax Collector.
