136. Threads - Finale
In this episode of the Ridge Roundtable, we wrap up our “Threads” series with the theme of God's kingdom.We quickly we dive into the rich, sweeping story the Bible tells about the Kingdom of God:📖 What do we mean by “threads”?Major themes that begin in Genesis, run through the entire Bible, and culminate in Revelation and show a supernatural continuity across 40 authors and 1,500 years.👑 What is the Kingdom of God, really?We break down the classic definition: God’s people, in God’s place, under God’s rule, enjoying God’s presence. And we trace that pattern from creation to the fall, through Abraham, Israel, David, the prophets, into Jesus and the early church.🔥 Why does Jesus talk about the Kingdom more than anything else?From his first recorded words, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near”, to his miracles, parables, and resurrection, the Kingdom is the centerpiece of Jesus’ message.🌍 What does it mean for us today?We explore the “already and not yet” tension, the role of believers as ambassadors, and why understanding the Kingdom reshapes how we see our purpose, our identity, and our place in God’s story.Whether you’ve been with us the whole way or you’re joining at the end, this conversation invites you deeper into Scripture, deeper into God’s story, and deeper into what it means to live as citizens of a kingdom that is here… and coming.

134. Threads - Bonus Episode - How God Communicates
Welcome to a special bonus episode of the Ridge Roundtable Podcast!This conversation picks up where our recent episode, How God Communicates With His People, left off. After that recording we realized there was more to unpack around one specific (and sometimes controversial) phrase: “God told me.”In this episode, the we dive deep into the tension between God’s sovereignty, the authority of Scripture, and how the Holy Spirit leads believers today.Topics include:- Is it dangerous to say “God told me”?- How the Holy Spirit still moves and guides us- The difference between revelation and communication- Why semantics matter in how we describe God’s leading- Guardrails for discerning if you’ve truly “heard from God”- What to do when two people both think “God told them” opposite things- And how to stay anchored in Scripture while being sensitive to the SpiritListen, reflect, and join the discussion!Subscribe for more Ridge Roundtable conversations about faith, Scripture, and real life.
133. Threads - How God Communicates With His People
In this episode of Threads, we explore one of the most foundational questions in faith: how does God speak to us? From His voice in creation to His direct words to the patriarchs, through the prophets, and ultimately in the person of Jesus Christ, the conversation traces the consistent “thread” of God’s communication from Genesis to Revelation.Together, they discuss the difference between general and special revelation, what it means that Jesus is the Word made flesh, the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers into truth, and how to discern God’s will today through Scripture and community.If you’ve ever wondered how God reveals Himself, or how to recognize His voice in your own life, this episode offers a thoughtful and deeply biblical perspective.
132. Threads - Grace
In this week’s episode of The Ridge Roundtable Podcast, we dive into one of the most foundational and misunderstood truths in the Bible: grace.What is it, really?Is it just “unmerited favor”? A New Testament concept? Something God gives only when we deserve it least?We unpack the thread of grace that runs from Genesis to Revelation, from God’s first pursuit of Adam and Eve in the garden, to His ultimate act of love through Jesus Christ. Along the way, we talk about what it means to grow in grace, how to extend it to others, and why grace isn’t just what saves us, it’s what sustains us.Watch, reflect, and be reminded that grace is not something we earn. It’s who God is.
