The Steadfast Podcast exists to use Bible study and theological teaching to encourage you to be steadfast in your faith. Every Monday morning I'll drop a new Bible study as we work our way through books of the Bible. Additionally, once a month I'll post a bonus episode that unpacks a theological topic to help us understand why we believe what we believe. I hope you'll join us as we seek to, as 1 Corinthians 15:58 tells us, "...be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."
