TRUE Word, Faith for LIFE!
You have sat through Bible teaching that never changed a thing. Opinions dressed up as truth. Depth that needed a seminary degree to follow, or shallowness that asked nothing of you at all. This is not that. True Word, Faith for LIFE! walks the whole Bible in a year, in order, the way the story was actually told. I take the Hebrew and the Ancient Near Eastern world Scripture was born in and make it plain, so you see what the first hearers saw, then walk out knowing what to do with it today. No watering down. No insider language. Every episode lands on Yeshua, and every episode lands on your real life. If you're tired of confusion and ready to actually live your faith instead of just studying it, you belong here. The Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM Eastern, live Sundays, 6:30 PM Eastern, live The Book Find it in the STORE at the top of the site. This book was written for the person tired of religious pieces, tired of confusion, and ready for God's Word to make sense in real life. Walk this journey with me. Faith for LIFE. That runs about a third the length and leads with the punch instead of the handshake. One real tradeoff to call: I stripped the decorative emojis because they're most of what makes the current page read as generic. If you want the page to stay scannable for mobile, adding one functional icon back on the schedule and book headers is defensible. Losing the 🔥 and ⭐ is not. © 2026 Dr. Shawn M. Greener.

Do I Have To Stay Close To Toxic Family?

Does one toxic family member hijack every holiday gathering? Do you feel your stomach tighten days before Christmas because you already know the chaos is coming, but nobody knows how to stop it without a blowup?

In this episode I am going to show you what the Bible actually says about toxic family dynamics, guilt, and boundaries. We will walk through Matthew 10:34–39 and explain why loyalty to Yeshua sometimes requires hard lines, even with family. This is not therapy talk. This is biblical clarity, Hebraic context, and practical steps you can use before the next gathering.

In this episode, you will learn:

  1. How to honor family without enabling unrepentant harm.
  2. What “peace” really means in the Bible, and why “keeping the peace” can become bondage.
  3. Simple, speakable boundary phrases for the person who disrupts, manipulates, or dominates the holiday.
  4. What to do when the family system protects the toxic person and pressures you to stay quiet.

Comment question: When you think about the next family gathering, what hits you first? Anxiety, anger, dread, guilt, or exhaustion?
