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.

Episode 4: If This Hurt, Let’s Talk

A Pastoral Word to the Wounded, the Confused, and the Teachable

Series: You Cannot Love Jesus and Slander Catholics and Jews

If this series stung, it might not be because you were attacked. It might be because you were convicted. And conviction is not condemnation. Conviction is the King repairing what our words damaged.

In this Wednesday deep study, Dr. Shawn M. Greener walks you through the Bible’s covenant repair pattern, confession, correction, restitution, and re formation. This is not a vague call to “be nicer.” This is Torah level justice applied to modern Christian speech. In the Bible’s Ancient Near Eastern world, false witness is not just bad manners. It is community level injustice. It harms reputation, breaks trust, and endangers the vulnerable.

You will learn a practical verification tool you can use immediately, the Gate Test:

Who said this?

What is the evidence?

What is the full context?

What is my motive for sharing it?

You will also see Zacchaeus as the New Covenant model of measurable repentance that restores what was stolen and rebuilds trust. Because a follower of the Way does not only say, “I’m sorry.” A follower of the Way says, “I’m going to make it right.”

Primary Bible texts, side by side in the Lexham English Bible (LEB) and the Complete Jewish Study Bible (CJSB):

Deuteronomy 19:15–21

Numbers 5:5–7

Leviticus 5:14–6:7

Zechariah 8:16–17

Luke 19:1–10

Acts 17:11

Proverbs 18:17

Matthew 11:28–30

James 3:7–10

This episode is brought to you by my book, True Word, Faith for LIFE! Get it in the Store at TrueWordFaithforLife.com and learn how to live as a true disciple of Yeshua with clean witness and covenant faithfulness.

What is one act of repair you will do this week, and what is one verification standard you will adopt before you share anything again?
