Why would Abraham repeat the same fear-driven compromise after everything God had already promised? In this episode, Dr. Shawn M. Greener teaches Genesis 20 and shows how old fear can bring back old patterns, even in the lives of people who truly know God. This passage is honest, humbling, and deeply hopeful. It shows that fear often disguises itself as wisdom, that half-truths used to manipulate are still lies, and that God’s covenant faithfulness is stronger than our cracked obedience. With An...

ARE WE SODOM?! Why did God judge Sodom? Was it really about one sin, or had the city become something far darker? In this episode, Dr. Shawn M. Greener takes listeners into Genesis 19 and shows that Sodom was a culture marked by violent corruption, predatory power, humiliation, social cruelty, and open rebellion against God. With Ancient Near Eastern context, Hebraic insight, and strong modern application, this teaching exposes how cultures normalize evil, how compromise reshapes the soul, an...

What WAS YOUR Name? Why did God change Abram’s name to Abraham?Why did Sarai become Sarah?And why did God do it before the promise was visible?In this episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener teaches Genesis 17 with sharp biblical clarity, Hebraic worldview, Ancient Near Eastern context, and real life application. This is not a small detail in Abraham’s story. This is a covenant identity moment. God appears as El Shaddai, calls Abram to walk befor...

DAY 12: Why Did Abraham Laugh and Intercede? Why do people laugh at the very promise they once begged God to fulfill? Why do believers hear God’s Word, yet still struggle to believe He’ll actually do what He said? In this gripping episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener takes listeners into Genesis 18 and uncovers one of the most searching chapters in Abraham’s life. This is not just a story about Sarah laughing in the tent. It is a revelation of...

Day 11: Why Did Abram Take Hagar? Why does a promise from God turn into pressure so fast? Why do people who truly hear God still make decisions that create pain, jealousy, and fracture everything around them? And if we’re honest, why do we do the same thing? Genesis 16 isn’t just about Abram, Sarai, and Hagar. It’s about what happens when waiting becomes unbearable and we start trying to help God fulfill what only He can do. Tell me in the comments, have you ever forced something because you ...

WHY DID GOD ANSWER BABEL WITH COVENANT? Are Babel, Abraham, Egypt, Melchizedek, and covenant really one story? In this Sunday Summary and Deepening episode, Dr. Shawn M. Greener walks through Genesis 11 through 15 and shows how these passages fit together as one powerful movement in the Bible. Babel exposes human pride and self made security. Abraham’s calling reveals God’s answer to scattered rebellion. Egypt exposes fear driven compromise under pressure. Melchizedek appears as a priestly an...

Day 10: Has God Forgotten You? Genesis 15 Explained Has God forgotten you while you wait? Why did God cut a covenant with Abram in Genesis 15, and why does that matter so much when life feels delayed, uncertain, or fragile? In this episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener walks through one of the most dramatic covenant scenes in the entire Bible. Abram fears. Abram questions. Abram waits. And God answers, not with shallow reassurance, but with cov...

This priest shouldn’t be here!! Why does Melchizedek suddenly appear in Genesis 14, and why does Abram honor him so quickly? In this episode, Dr. Shawn M. Greener explains why Melchizedek is not a random detail, but a major theological signpost. He shows up before Levi, before Sinai, and before the priestly system most readers expect, and that is exactly why this passage matters. Through biblical context, Hebraic worldview, and careful teaching, this message reveals why Melchizedek points to ...

Day 8: Why Did Abraham Go to Egypt? God called Abraham. Then famine hit. And fear started making decisions. In Day 8 of Through the Bible in a Year, Dr. Shawn M. Greener opens Genesis 12:10 and shows why Abraham’s move to Egypt still hits home. A real promise from God can be followed almost immediately by pressure, testing, and the temptation to trust what looks safe instead of what God said. This episode shows why fear still drives people toward modern Egypts, why compromise costs more than ...

Day 7: Why Why Did GOD Choose Abraham? Why did God choose Abraham, and what does that reveal about calling in your own life? In Day 7 of Through the Bible in a Year, Dr. Shawn M. Greener explores why God’s choice of Abraham was not random favoritism, moral superiority, or personal greatness. This is where the covenant story begins to move toward the blessing of the nations. If you misunderstand why Abraham was chosen, you’ll misunderstand biblical calling. And if you misunderstand calling, yo...

What if the greatest proof of God’s power was not that He kept His Son from death, but that He brought Him through it?

Because on Resurrection Sunday, Heaven did not whisper. Heaven announced. The tomb is empty. The King is alive. And everything changes because of it. Welcome to True Word, Faith for LIFE! with Dr. Shawn M. Greener. Today we...

What do you do with a love that makes no sense? What do you do with mercy so holy, so deep, so undeserved, that it offends your sense of fairness? What do you do with a Savior who looked straight into the face of the man who would betray Him, knew exactly what was coming, and still served him? That is the scandal of the gospel. That is the shock of the table. That is the weight of the cross. And that is part of the glory of the resurrection. Because when we say, “He is risen,” we are not mere...

How Do I Pray So I Actually Feel Close to God? | Luke 11 “Why Can’t I feel close to God? Many believers love God deeply but struggle with prayer. They sit down to pray and the words feel empty. The silence feels distant. They wonder if God is really listening. In Luke chapter 11 the disciples asked Jesus the same question many of us quietly carry: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Jesus did not give them a complicated religious formula. He gave them a pattern for living conversation with their ...
