Dr. Lili Anderson

“If the Lord Be God, Follow Him”

PART 1

Is modern culture actually paganism with better marketing? Dr. Lili de Hoyos Anderson explores how the worship of ancient gods of appetite never truly vanished–and why the keys Elijah restored are the hinge on which the salvation of Jesus Christ turns for the living and the dead.

PART 2

Dr. Lili de Hoyos Anderson continues her deep dive into the ministry of Elijah from the spectacular fire of Mount Carmel to the still small voice that followed, revealing how God meets his servants at their breaking points, why the sealing power Elijah holds is the foundation of every family’s eternal hope, and what it means to exercise righteous power in a world that has demonized it.

Brother Mike Madsen

“The Battle is the Lord’s”

PART 1

What if the quiet revolution drawing hundreds of millions into daily scripture study—and toward the Savior himself—began with a single question: does anyone actually read this? Brother Mike Madsen, Program Manager for Gospel Learning and Teaching, pulls back the curtain on Come Follow Me, the coming shift to a shorter Sunday schedule, and a teacher-led journey through David and Goliath that finds Christ in a shepherd boy’s sling.

PART 2

Brother Mike Madsen traces the downfall of King Saul through 1 Samuel 20-26, contrasting his pride and jealousy with Jonathan’s loyalty and Abigail’ s Christlike intercessions, and the hard, personal work of forgiving and laying down a vengeful heart.

“My Heart Rejoiceth in the Lord”

PART 1

What do you do when God’s plan looks nothing like the one you had for yourself? Professor Lori Newbold explores the timeless stories of Ruth, Naomi, and Hannah, uncovering what loyalty, grief, and a relational faith in Christ can teach us about trusting God through life’s most unexpected detours.

PART 2

Professor Lori Newbold draws on her background in theology and mental health to illuminate Hannah’s extraordinary faith, her meekness under provocation, her wordless prayers of grief, and the surprising truth that being a mother, like being a disciple, is not a destination we wait for but an identity we live now.

Dr. Lori Denning

“The Lord Raised Up a Deliverer”

PART 1

What happens to a covenant people when they repeatedly abandon God, fall into oppression, cry out for deliverance, and then do it all over again? Dr. Lori Denning explores the Book of Judges as a cautionary tale of broken covenants, unexpected heroes, and the Lord’s unfailing faithfulness to a stumbling people.

PART 2

Dr. Lori Denning turns to two of Israel’s most complicated judges, Gideon and Samson, and shows how gifted, Spirit-empowered men and women can unravel under the weight of pride and broken covenants, and why their stories are less a museum exhibit than a mirror.

“Be Strong and of a Good Courage”

PART 1

What do a former harlot, a river that parted on faith, and a pile of rocks have in common–and what does God want you to remember about all three? Dr. Camille Fronk Olson unpacks the first four chapters of Joshua from Rahab’s unlikely covenant to the twelve stones pulled from the Jordan riverbed as a reminder that the Lord’s power is worth remembering.

PART 2

From a man with a sword outside Jericho to five daughters who stood before Moses and changed the law of inheritance, Dr. Camille Fronk Olson continues to examine covenant renewal, Achan’s costly disobedience, Caleb asking for his mountain, and Joshua’s thundering challenge to a nation.
