Jenn delves into the concept of faith, exploring its difference from belief and/or obedience.

The discussion centers around the Hall of Faith in Hebrews chapter eleven, where the author of Hebrews highlights various individuals who demonstrated remarkable faith in God's promises:

What is the difference between faith and belief? Why it's crucial to have faith, not just belief
One can have belief, but not have faith; one can have obedience, but not have belief
The stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and others, examining their faith actions and how they demonstrated obedience to God's commands.
Moses considered the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. How did Moses identify with the "reproach of Christ" if Jesus wasn't even born yet?
We have a choice: be like the Hebrews, or be like the Egyptians

The episode ends with a call to action to reflect on your own faith, asking if you are willing to take the step of obedience, even when it's difficult or uncomfortable.

Meet Your Host

Jenn Kokal grew up in a Christian household. In 2019, she noticed a common problem - too many Christians questioning faith, God, and the validity of the Bible. Since Jenn had a newfound love for God's Word, she wanted to spread its truth. Thus, P40 Ministries and The Bible Explained were born. Jenn's mission with The Bible Explained podcast is to go through the Bible cover-to-cover while answering common questions about God, Christianity, historical validity of the Scriptures, and the state of the world.

In her personal life, Jenn is a homebody who loves playing music, painting, and being a youth leader alongside her husband. Jenn lives in a little house in the middle of the Ohio sticks with her husband of eleven years and their two Jack Russells, Bandit and Cody.
