In this episode, I talk about a verse that I think I've been misreading for years. That verse is Philippians 2:21 and it says, " For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus." But what are the things of Christ Jesus? I share some thoughts that I have about this passage and new perspective on what this verse is talking about and really what are "the things of Christ."

Learning biblical Hebrew can be pretty hard at times, and sometimes you just need the right tools. So I want to share 3 tools for learning biblical Hebrew that for me were life saving. And I think, they may be for you too. These help with Hebrew morphology and vocabulary.
